A patent medicine salesman upon
the streets of small Maine village

she had ceased to be interesting to

beauty, while she-she was verging
close on thirty, and never had been

Carroll had found her more fascinating

UNCONSCIOUS WORRY.

A great many people worry uncon-
sciousiy, says o. S. Marden in sue
cess Magazine" They don't under
stand why they are so tired in the
morning. why their sleep was so dis
turbed and troubled.
This mental disturbance is often
caused by the habit of taking things too
seriously, carrying too great weight
of responsibility. Everywhere we see
people who take life too seriously.
Most of us are like the motorman, 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
