Incidents and Personal "reminiscences Re
viewed as Illustrating the Path
of Goodness and Truth
(By Warren S. Dean.)

We often find that IN the research ana
study of many little things that happened
in our personal lives will make the course
more clear, and open the way to some of
the larger problems humanity has to con-
tend with For instance, after the writer
had gathered a pail of cherries and taken
them to the house, and after being sorted
over by the wife and made ready to can.
we noticed there were quite number of
them thrown out that looked sound and
good under an ordinary inspection. Ask
ing the wife in regard to them, she told
MS they were useless on account of being
wormy. But having formed the habit
early in life of doing a little Investigating
for ourselves. we took our knife and open
ed a few to discover how the worms had
done their hidden work. We found first
small specl on the outside, a little disco'-
ored, and looking further we found where
the worm had eaten its way around the
pith, so that the flesh of the cherry was
more or less blackened in the pathway of
the worm.
While doing this investigating the wife
said: 81 told you there were worms in
those cherries" We replied that it is
good thing to look for ourselves in this
world. and if there were more people who
would take as "much interest to investi-
gate those things which pertain to the
mind" as they did to the food that went
through their stomachs, there would be far
more respect shown for truth and honesty.
While gathering those cherries, it was
quite natural to have a number of them go
the way of our mouth. but after the inves-
tigation our relish for them somewhat
wited. And we note all through life how
many go laundering along taking things
for granted, because of the belief, advice
or say of others, but when we investigate
and find the truth or the vermin and vice
in things that under ordinary inspection
we overlook, we generally have that i'm
pressed on our minds the rest of our days.
Looking back to more youthful days, we
note now at mature age how slack we were
in those things that pertain to the human
mind, or in other words, so busily engaged
in making living that we had no thought
to investigate how the miserable worm Of
superstition had left its vile effects on the
minds of others. It was in the fore part
of the season of 1879 that we had the
pleasure Of hearing Prof. Underwood, of
Boston, give a Freethought lecture in the

ENTHUSIASM AND FAT

These two, like oil and water, mix poorly. This does. not imply fat men
 and women never get enthusiastic.
 They do down deep inside. But what
 does it amount to: Their fat doesn t
 get excited. They cant transmute
 their enthusiasm into energetic ac-
 ton, so they might as we'll keep calm.
 Thus it is that fat people generate
 much steam for life's work, only to find the load too much for the horse l power, and as result thousands of 1 both sexes get just so far and no fur ther. Much they care," says the
 uninitiated slim one. But they do care. They care keenly for financial, mental, social, business fall hunting. straight-front and comfort reasons, and that is why Marmola Prescrip- ton Tablets have been so heartily welcomed by the overweight classes. The reason is not far to seek. Mar mola Prescription Tablets take eff about a pound a day, in most cases, without interfering in any way with the takers table tendencies or his love of ease. To some, possibly, their absolute economy appeals. Thus one large case costing seyenty-five cents at any drug sore or of the makers The Marmola Company. Dept 2223s Detroit, Mich., direct is said in itself alone to certain enough tablets to make deciied change in any one.
 But these are merely surface req sons. Marmola checks the formation of fat by curing the fat-forming ten- dency. The fat just slips away, as it were, without sign of a wrinkle. Thus the work these tablets do is not injurious. It is natural. That is the real reason these tablets are so much appreciated. They are safe.

THE STORM AT GALVESTON.

Fortified behind her l7.fOot sea wall,
and elevated to a point above the danger
line, Galveston passed safely through q
hurricane yesterday that resembled the
disastrous storm of 1900.
Part of the island on which the city is
situated was again inundated, the over
flowing sea water reaching height Of
seven feet or more. That portion Of the
island which has been protected suffered
comparatively little harm. No lives
we're lost in Galveston, bat ten persons
10 fishing party we're drowned. The
property damage is not large.
Sweeping westward, the tropical storm,
which had been central over the Gulf OF
Mexico for "a hours, struck Galveston
shortly after IL o'clock yesterday. The
wind attained q velocity OF 68 miles an
hour, and shifted to the northeast,
heaving the waters OF Galveston bay up
against the island and flooding that
quarter which had uot been raised. The
water backed up into the main streets
of the city, bat the principal damsge
was confined to the beach front, where
bath houses and pleasure piers we're
swept away. Shipping was undisturbed.
The fury OF the storm 5000 abated,
aud anxiety of those who entertained
fears of another tidal wave was soon
relieved.
The last calamity that overlook Gal
weston, and which almost amounted to
destruction of the city, occurred Sep
tember s, 1900, when terrific hurri-
cane swept over the plsce, flooding it to
sn unprecedented height and causing a
loss of more than 6, 900 lives aud more
than $40, 900, 900 in property. The ca
tastrophe, which was generally described
at the time as the result Of great tidal
wave, was, in fact, due merely to a
tropical storm, which attained su esH-
mated velocity OF 120 miles an hour and
blew the water from the Gulf Of Mexico
over the narrow neck Of land whereon
the city is built, and which does not
rise, more than a few feet above tide.
A cloudburst late last night caused
heavy loss to all kinds Of property in
northern Wisconsin. 1t was estimated
the total loss will be $500, 900.
The breaking of the dam at White
river imperils Odsuah and several per-
sans are reported drowned there. Six
families near the ore docks in Ashland
had to be taken from their homes.
Heavy rains have overhowed Wild
Rice river and March creek, Minn., en-.
tirely submerging the village of Heiberg,
One of the worSt storms in years Oc'
Cured in the vicinity of Bayfield,, Wis,

5000, 900 feet of logs we're flooded out of
the booms at the mouth of Bad river.
