Why Worry?

Why worry? 1t is all going Uncle
Sans way.
The crops are big, bigger than ever,
and food is going to to be cheaper and
growing cheaper day by day. Work
is increasing. Men are more and more
in demand. The rate OF wages dropped
little in depression. The new men are
going on at the rate and hours OF 1907.
Every day some furnace or mill starts
up. About S750,000,0O0 is going into
building. Big railroads are buying
rails and equipment for 1910 right now,
80 as to get them then. There are
more wheat and corn, more wool and
leather, more iron ore, coal, coke and
copper to be turned out in the last four
months of 1909 than ever before.
Why worry? The boom is on. Pros.
perity has come. The United States
never saw more OF either than this
coming autumn is to show. Why
worry?-New York World.

And Ended the Scrap.

Passengers on the Dubois Traction

Dubois at 7.3O Monday evening wit
messed an exciting dispute between the
conductor and an Italian at Eriton
The foreigner had boarded the car
at Dubois and paid his fare to Eriton,
but when he arrived there refused to
get off, claiming to have paid another
fare. The conductor was emphatic In
his demand for more money and after
an angry dispute hustled the man off
the car in unceremonious style. When
he reached the ground the Italian
swung around and with quick motion
pulled a pistol half way out of his
hip pocket apparently intending to
take vengeance on the conductor The
conductor was standing on the rear
platform, his feet just about on level
with the foreigners head and the mo-
ment the revolver appeared the con-
ductor's foot shot out, catching the
Italian under the jaw and sending him
heels over head backward. The car

a bullet crashing through his brain.
,, The bullet came out just back of his
left ear. Death was so sudden that he
did not loosen his grip on the weapon.
The indications are that he was as de-
lioerate about it as he would have been
In getting ready to retire at night
when sane.
1t is supposed that he shot himself
between four and five o'clock 10 the af-
ternoon and the body was not found
until about ZOO p. m. when a young
man named Walter Smith, who was out
training dog, found it.
The coroner was notified, a jury was
empanelled and after examining the
surrounding ground and getting Mr..
Smiths testimony the jury reached, a
verdict of death caused by self.in-
flicted bullet wound caused by a revol-
yer fired by his own hands,"
AS two bullets had been fred from
the revolver and only one bullet was
found in Mr.. Spry's body, and it was
known that he had taken his son with
him to Dubois, it was feared that the
other bullet had been used to kill the
son and search was made for body of
boy. 1t was not until eleven o'clock
that night that the boy was found at
home of Mr.. Barley.
The body of Mr.. Spry was brought to
home of his half brother, John Trud-
gen, on Jackson street, Reynoldsville,
Friday and funeral service wss held
, there at 2.30 p. m, Sunday, conducted
by Rev. John F. Black, pastor of the
M. e. church. 1t was one of the largest,

Lodge, transferring his membership to
the Aspinwall Lodge last fall, and men,
bers of the Reynoldsville Lodge attend
ed the funeral in body. Interment
was made in Beulah cemetery beside
body of the young mans father.
We repeat again that this young man
was highly esteemed by the people of
Reynoldsville and the large attendance
at his funeral of all classes of people
was evidence of this fact.
AT the time OF the organization OF
the Peoples National bank Mr.. Spry
was elected a director, although rather
young for the office, and held the di-
rectorship until after he had moved to
Aspinwall.
James Fl. Spry is survived by his wife

RANDALL COUNTY
FEED MAKES GOOD
CleBURNe FEEDER SECURE RESULTS
FROM KAfFIR CORN AND MILO MAIZE.
Three Year Old Steers Fed on tho Grain
Wins First Prize at fort
Worth Stock Show.

Again the good qualities of
Randall county products as
money makers is brought to no.
tice when the first prize for beef
cattle in car lots for steers three
years old or over, was awarded
to r. Il. Gatewood, a large feeder
and shipper of Cleburne, Texas.
Mr.. Gatewood afterwards sold
the stock to one of the local buy
ers for the price of Z II cents
per pound which topped the mar
ket for anything that has been
there for long time. The steers
weighed 1893 average and at the
price would make S112.35 per
head.
AT the same time Mr.. Gate
wood marketed a car of calves at
S5.o5 per hundred which aver
aged $50 pounds each or $39.67
per head.
Mr.. Gatewood is a successful
feeder and makes a study of the
animals as well as the feed used
and he has come to the conclu.
sion that after he has fed up on
cotton seed meal, that he would
finish the animals on milo maize
and kaffir corn chops together
with alfalfa. The cattle and
calves mentioned above were all
finished up on these feeds which
Mr.. Gatewood bought in Randall
county and shipped to his feed
ing pens atCleburne. We might
also say that the car of calves
mentionedahove carried off the
second prize at the show which
they did.
Since Mr.. Gatewood became
interested in the feeding of the
milo maize and kaffir corn chops
with alfalfa to his cattle he has
become an earnest advocate of
their use for feeding purposes.
In a letter to this city he ex-
pressed himself as well pleased
with the results and that he
finds that he has better success
with both steers and calves on
such feed than with anything
else that he has fed.

The book closes with the reported fall
of Nineyeh (Tob. 14:15) the date of which
was Il. c. 606, and the story in the main
was probably written some time before
this. (Tob. I2:20.) But in the opinion of
Bible scholars, the whole tone OF the
narrative bespeaks a later age. This is
particularly marked by the way in wnlch
the doctrine of the good and evil spirits
is elaborated and which belongs to a
period considerably posterior TO the

THE STORY.

TN THE days of long ago when the
i Jews were suffering deportation
from their land there lived an exile
in the great city of Nineveh named
Tobit. Poverty and blindness had
come to this devout Jew. Poverty
through change of rulers in the land,
which prevented him from going into
Media to obtain there a large sum of
money which was held by a trusted
friend. Blind because of exposure
incurred in burying one of his breth-
rem who had been ruthlessly muir
dered and cast outside the walls of
the city.
The household of Tobit consisted
of his devoted wife Anna and his
al tho father the mother was forced
to make the living for the family.
Bowed with his affection and the
grief of their unfortunate condition,
the father looked for death as a re-
lief. But as he thought on death
and remembered his son, now quite
grown to manhood's estate, his heart
was stricken with remorse that he
should leave him SO lily prepared to
face the hard conditions which were
the lot of the poor Jew in Nineveh.
He knew that he would be unable

ventured Anna, with faltering voice
as she renewed her efforts to finish
the task upon which she was en-
gagged.
Silence filled the room. and a little
later Anna glanced in the direction OF
Tobft and5as she noted his bowed form
she whispered to herself:
ut is well. He sleeps"
A short while later she vas startled
by a glad cry from her husband, and
turned to see that he was standing,

same time he cried:

SERMONETTE.

The Book of Tobias gives US
i. a picture of a true love affair
ordered after the will of God.
If marriages to-day were
thus of Divine ordaining, and
Gods law ruled In the home
set up we should hear less of ill.,
matched couples and the d.
vorce courts would have little
to do.
There is no question but that
the matter of marriage is too
lightly considered. Motives
other than those which God pur-
posed when he gave man and
woman to each other now pre-
vail, and as a result disagree
ments and divisions take place
and the sacred relationship into
which the two lives have en-
tered is cast aside. Such man.
ner of living can bring only dis
aster, not only upon the imme-
date members of the family in
volved, but upon the nation as
we'll.
The bulwark Of any nation
must be the purity of its family
life, and when loose living and
divorce stalk through the land
wrecking the lives of the princi-
pals and c~ursing the children, if
hapIess in such cases there be
children, it offers n of the
most serious menaces to the Ia
tionaI life.
There is but one ground of d.
vorce laid down in Gods law,
and at least two of the great de-
nominations recognize only this
!. one basis of divorce, namely.
the Catholic and the Episcopal
; churches. That there are vio-
Iations of this law Of these two
: churches is only ad 1itional evil
dence how this social decay is
eating it's way into the very
vitals of the nation.
And just as Gods law de-
clares that there is but
cause for divorce, SO it also sets
forth clearly and positively the
one rule which governs in maxi
; ing marriage alliances.
The New Testament warning
is "Be we not unequally yoked
together with unbelievers: for
what fellowship hath righteous
ness with unrighteousness? And
what communication hath light
with darkness?"
This is the law for the Chris
tian, and many a life is ship
wrecked because it is dis
obeyed.
In the romance before US of
Tobias and Sara we find strik-
ing Illustration of this loyalty
to Gods law, and of the bless
ing which followed.
