FoIIv of Worryinu.

A number of statesmen at Washing
ton, d. c., the other day discussed the
foolishness of worrying about things
not likely to happen, or which, if they
do happen will be so remote as to be
of little consequence to the worrier.
One of the party told this story to
illustrate his point:
"Reminds me of a thing that hap
pened in my school days. We used to
have a lecture every Friday afternoon,
and one day the lecturer was a geo.
logical sharp, and chose Niagara
Falls for his topic. He told us all
about the geological information of
the falls, described the different peri
DDS that it is believed are traced in
the gorge, and then went on to say
that the falls were slowly wearing
back toward Buffalo, and that in the
course of some 100000 years they
would have worn back. to Erie, Pa.
and that town would be left high and
dry. Just then one of the girls in
the class began to sob wildly. What's
the matter?' asked the teacher, in
alarm. oh she walled, i've got
sister living in Erie!' buffalo Com

The Craze for Labels.

Many people anxious to show their
friends how far they have Travelled,
and at how many places they have
stayed, refuse to remove the old rail-
way labels from their bags and port
manteaus. 1t is a harmless vanity as
far as it concerns themselves, but
one which causes much bewilderment
to the railway authorities. The num-
Der of comparatively fresh labels on
a bag renders it very difficult for
porter to know which is positively the
last, and not infrequently luggage goes
astray in consequence, especially
when changes of train have to DC
made on a journey. At holiday t1r1e

To the Sea.

TIE earth is our mother, but thou
thou are father of us and of time;
For all things now were not when
thou vast strong in thy prime.
There was silence first, and then dark
ness, and under the garment Of
these
Was the body of thee in thy might,
with its infinite mysteries.
And God alone was aware of thy pres
ence and power and form;
And out of His knowledge foresaw His
will In thy calm and storm.
Answering unto His will, He gave
thee lordship and crown,
And babe the kingdoms of man 70
worship thee and bow down.
For earth He made out of dust, for
change and defeat in the blast;
But thee IIe made eternal, through
aeons and aeons to last,
Unmarked by sun or wind, and SUI
preme where thy waves are
tossed;
Not an inch of thy beauty to perish,
nor an ounce of thy might to be
lost.-William Stanley Braith-

MysteriOusIy Disappears.
Nothing, as yet, has been heard of the
whereabouts of Ephraim Hedberg, former
ly of Cumberland. Mr.. Hedberg and
daughter, Miss Elina, left there Aug. 1
for their new home at Ashland, Ore. Mr..
Hedberg left the train at Umatilla, Ore,
to get lunch and that was the last seen
of him. His daughter went on to her
destination, thinking her father would fol-
low on the next train, but diligent search
has failed to find any trace of him what
ever, and the girl in writing to friends
in Cumberland, expresses the opinion that
her father has been murdered and that
undoubtedly the deed was committed at
Umatilla and his body thrown into the
Columbia river He sold his farm near
Cumberland, also all his personal property
and live stock, and when he left for the
West he took with him 800 in cash and
certificates of deposit for $1,000. The
daughter has stopped payment on the GER
tificates and has given UP all hope or
seeing her father alive.
