ILL HEALTH AND MORBiDNESs.
Unfortunate Result Of Intense Passion
for Sympathy.

One of the tendencies OF i'll health
is to make one morbid People who
are constantly thinking about their all
ments, worrying about their troubles
suffering pain, often develop morbid
passion for sympathy. They want to
tell everybody OF their aches and
pains, to describe their symptoms. says

woman who has acquired the doctor
habit, a woman who loves nothing in
the world quite 50 we'll as an oppor
tunity to tell the doctor OF her all

unwilling ears, to forced listeners,
till she longs for some one who can
really appreciate 1t ALL who sympa-

she sends fon the doctor or goes to
see him. This becomes almost a
mania with some women, who have
few outside activities to divert them

temporary reverse with the nonchal-
ance of a man of large resources.
He began to notice, however, a
change in the manner Of the people at
the bank which disconnected him, and
the notices of overdrafts became at
the same time more frequent and
more peremptory. In response to
these he sold by degrees all his securi-
ties and finally his real estate and per,
sonal belongings, but still the flood OF
checks returned upon and absorbed
the proceeds of his sales.
The crisis came quickly. In answer
to an urgent demand for funds, he
had sold his last remaining assets to
the amount of some $50, 900, and had
intrusted this sum to his typewriter to
deposit it. She had hardly time to
reach the bank when the cashier tele-
phoned for more money.

REST Cure In Enoland.

Sleep and be beautiful Rest and
preserve your charms!" That is what
wise Englshwomen are saying to
themselves nowadays and what they
are doing most religiously. Many
make point OF lying down for half
an hour before luncheon and before
dinner, or after eating, If 1t suits them
better on a couch heaped with cush-
ions, And to make the rest sweet the
cushions are filed with fragrant herbs
and flower petals. Some very dainty
women have cushions packed with
rose leaves. Lavender tops are used,
too, and pine needles, which have al
ways been famed as sleep inducers.
Some women insist that hops, loosely
stuffed in the cushion covers, are the
best thing to make one drowsy.

SEES DOWNFALL OF THE BEL.
Metal Tubes Will Supersede II, Ac-
cording to Clergyman.

1T wiz not be many years" says a
St Louis clergyman, before bells for
church use will be almost unknown.
Even now, when a church desires
something to answer the purpose OF
the bell, the trustees do not buy bells,
but tubes, some made OF bell metal,
other of n composite of several metals.
The metal tubes are hung in steeples
and struck with hammer. They
give clear, full note, just like a bell,
only more resonant They never crack
with cold or heat, and what is a still
greater recommendation, never get
out OF tone. There Is chime in the

Reuben Barbee Robbed.

Reuben Barbee, we'll known
about Durham, has caused a
warrant to be issued for the ar
rest of Lonnie Shamblee, whose
home is in the country, claiming
that he has been robbed by him.
The reported robbery was at
the show grounds Tuesday night
when Reuben and Shamblee, so
Barbee says, were at the grounds
and had been drinking, in fact
Reuben says he had been taking
on so much that he was not able
to navigate and had to lay down.
While he was down he claims
that Shamblee took his money.
At last accounts the officers had
not been able to locate Shamblee
and he had not been arrested.
There are few that believe
Shamblee is guilty, but just what
will be produced at the trial is
not known. if anything further
than what Reuben says is pro-
duced.

After one or more narrow es-
capes, two children of Lambert
Riley, who live near Hillsboro,
have been carried to the Oxford
Orphan Asylum. They passed
through Durham Tuesday of this
week.
The story Of the short life Of
these two children as Ii really is
will doubtless never be written,
yet they have had ut least one
narrow escape from being burned
alive, as the father, who Is said
TO be crazy endeavored to burn
the house in which they we're,
and succeeded, but the children
escaped. The officers have been
trying to do something in the
matter for some days and 1t was
finally decided that the children
would be better off at the Oxford
Orphanage, and they were car
ried there. The whereabouts OF
tie father are not known.

Washington, d. c., Sept. L.
John r. Early. the leper, will re-
ceive a pension of s72 a month
for total disability incurred while
a soldier in the army, according
to the statement today of the
Commissioner of Pensions. The
pension will begin as soon as the
legal difficulty which surrounds
the payment of the money can
be solved. These difficulties are
due to the fact that the man can
not, because of his segregation.
spend the money himself, and
the Judge acknowledgement of
the army has been asked to solve
the problem.
THE case Is unique in the an
nails of the army. If Early were
n drunkard or insane or a minor,
We could have a guardian for his
estate appointed, but he is none
of these"
II has been suggested that he
be placed in a house in the vicini-
ty of a soldiers home so that he
might technically be considered
an inmate of that institution.
The officials of the home could
then sign and execute the vouch.
ers and the money be paid over
to his wife.
