DOINGS WEDNESDAY
viii Purchase SChurZ Home

The members of the Wisconsin So
ciety of New York at the annual din
ner there Tuesday night decided to
purchase the property in this city that
was the first American home of Carl
Schurz. 1t will be converted into a
public park and museum and pre-
sented on behalf of the society to the
state Of Wisconsin as a Schurz mem
orial. This action probably follows
as the result of visit of one of the
members to Watertown last summer
when he met and conferred with a To-
cal committee concerning the pur-
chase. At that meeting the gentle
man stated that he would personally
guarantee the purchase of the place
and would take the matter up with
some of the influential Germans in
New York city and also with the Wis
consin Society of New York.
The statement that it will be pre-
sented to the state is probably an
error as the intention at the time was
to leave the management of it in local
hands.

were left on the floor

UNCONSCIOUS WORRY.

Born of the Habit of Taking Things
Too Seriously.
A great many people worry uncon-
sciously.. says o. S. Marden in Success
Magazine. They don't understand why
they are so tired in the morning, why
their sleep was so disturbed and trou-
bled.
This mental disturbance is often
caused by the habit of taking things
too seriously, carrying too great a
weight Of responsibility. Everywhere
we see people who take life too seri-
ously. Most of us are like the motor
man who not only starts and stops the
car and tries to keep from running
over people, but also feels tremendous
anxiety and responsibility about the
motive power.
One of the most helpful lessons life
can impart is that which shows us
how to do our work as well as it can
be done and then let principle take
care of the result. How often have we
been amazed to find things come out
much better than we anticipated; to
iud thdt thC cat uhotCh po"Cl lh1lt
governs our lives through a wilderness
of trial and tribulation into the open
has guided our life ship through the
fogs of difficulties and of sorrow
through storms of hardships and
losses, safely into port.
The pilot does not lose heart when
he cannot see his way. He turns to
hot to-, iah
as plainly in the fog and guides as
faithfully in the tempests as when the
sea is like glass. We are in touch with
power greater than any compass,
greater than any pilot, power that
can extricate us from the most des-
perate situa ton.
A Woman's Age? Forget II.
Man has no right to question wo-
mans age-to even think about it. a
woman. bless her, is as old as she
makes out or makes up and not
day oder. Man is out of his latitude
when he begins trying to locate wo-
mans age longitude. 1t is her priv
lege to conceal her age in any form or
manner she may choose, and it is
mans prerogative to assist her as
much as possible rather than hinder or
question her in any way. Man owes
it to himself to see that she is sup
piled with every means of concealing
her age or any new wrinkle which she
chooses to keep from the gaze of the
overcurious public. Man is not sup
posed to be young or beautiful. He
couldn't be if he wanted to be and
wouldn't be if be could With woman
1t is different She wants to be and
can be and is. whether she wants to
be or not, and it is a whole lot better
for her and for her admirer or admir-
ers, as the case may be, that her age
be carefully guarded under that
charming veil of mystery which should
ever be hers by right of possession.
Forget that she has an age, brother,
and you will be happier, and SO will
she, but don't, for heavens sake, for
get that she has a NATURALIZATION
