LOTS OF GOOD THINGS TO
LIVE FOR,' SAYS DR.. WATSON.
BY REV. DR. E. A. WATSON.

There is SO much in life over which
ought to eliminate all Unnecessary
worries, and where the situation has
two sides we might just as well choose
the cheerful side to dwell on. 1t costs
less, anyway. People can, indeed, by
a%ssiduous and conscientious cultiva-
ton come to experience a profound.
though sober, joy in Universities, par
ticularly of other people.
/ heard a man on the trolley car re-
mark the other day, in answer to the
s%alutation, Fine day." Eyes, but it
will rain tomorrow, or certainly the
day after" There are plenty of peo-
pie in all walks in business, profess
sions, trades, who dwell by preference
on the dark side.
1 read a recent sermon On the decay
of the Christian church and its min
istry. The writer brooded In. profound
melancholy because the church seemed
doomed, and without the church every
thing else was doomed. Now, 1t will
be a long time before the church and
its ministry will die. But, suppose
that tragic event were scheduled for
July 4, 1915. what then? Humanity
was before the church, and might well
be after it. The good for which the
church stands would find another
champion. And there would be other
Jobs for the ministers. If not today,
then tomorrow. If not this instru-
ment, then some other. Things will
come out all right. not because they
ought, not because fate has ordained
it, because man has h wit and
the gumption to make them all right.
Put the End Far on.
After travelling through the aeons,
are we to drop in our tracks before
the wall of 1908? Why not. If there is
to be an end, make it A. d. 10000 in
stead, or any other handy and distant
figure? 1t only costs a few zeros at
the end. 1t would be wrong for us to
stop whe there is still SO much good
coal in the earth. And also. for my
|lpart, / have a curiosity to see how the
khying-ship. problem win be solved.
For most of us there are plenty o.
good things to live for, and even II We
cannot get rid of the bad things. still
there is plenty of good that is unutil'
lied. Keep turning the situation

regarding the disposition of the case
He finally said that 1t was a matter
that the Chancery courts must con-
slider. He then warned Mrs. Cornell
not to bother Mrs. Soden again.
DR.. Wilmot then blushingly admitted
that Mrs. Cornell's jealousy of Mrs.
Soden was a case of mistaken iden-
tity.
LAS a matter of fact" he said. Mrs.
Cornell mistook Mrs. Soden for a
young woman to whom I am devoted
in Roseville."
DR.. Wilmot left the court in COM
pany with Mrs. Soden and followed by
the furious looks of Mrs. Cornell.
Mrs. CornelI's Story.
Mrs. Cornell in an interview with an
EVENING STAR reporter today said:
when l met DIR. Wilmot in Detroit
my husband had been dead several
years. I first met him in his dental
office when I went to get my teeth
fixed, and on that visit he began to
MAKE ove to me. I said that l had
learned that he was married and re-
fused to listen to him, but he kept on
paying attention to me, as he told me
he was going to get a divorce.
"Then he urged me to go and live
with his sister, but she refused. Final
ly / agreed to go to Toronto, where 1
was married to him in Kings Hotel by
the Rev. Mr.. Ross, with two dentists
as witness. We lived there for sew
eral years. Then we came to Newark
and lived in South Broad street; later
in Clinton avenue and Hunterdon
street.
II left him because he accused me
of flirting. A few weeks later | was
surprised to learn that DR.. Wilmot was
boarding next door to me with Mrs.
Soden.
The reason l went TO Mrs. Soden
was simply to inform her that DR.. Will
mot was my husband, and not to let
him live in her house. 1 told her just
who he was, and then she had me
hailed to the police COURT"
DR.. Wilmot admits that he was ar
rested in Syracuse for deserving his
family in Detroit, but the case was
not prosecuted.
DR.. Wilmot says one of his daughters
is q chorus singer in the "Soul Kiss
Company, another is studying for the
stage, and q third, who is travelling
with the RED Milf Company, is now
in the West.

To Be Very Private-Roman Papers

London, April 1.-The Rome cor respondent of the Globe says that the Italian newspapers have initiated a violent campaign against the pro posed marriage between the Duke of Abruzzi and Miss Katherine Elkins. This change of attitude is simply and solely due to the eXtravagances of American journalism" against which stream of indignation is poured out daily. Even the Elkins family is not spared, the newspapers taking steps to shield the duke from out rage and insult"
 The Globes correspondent learns that the provisional arrangements for the marriage have been altered owing to the kings wish that it should be celebrated in Italy. It will be absolutely private.

And it's queer that when once ''stung" they don't seem to care how things go on at home, so long as they can get the diabolical drink when they THINK they need it. Of course they only THINK they need it, but the reader of this ad must remember we are telling of intoxicating and under mining health drinks.
