The minute the buzzer rings for me I

swell said the older business woman" "I
suppose there hardly has been a woman who
has not asked the same question either Of
herself or of another at some time. The un-
fortunate feature Of It is that the favorite
haunt of this worry germ is the mind Of the
ambitious, overconscientious worker, who is
bent on giving her best at an costs. You
don't often hear OF the girl who Is Just
shutting OF enough work to keep her on the
pay roll being afflicted with worry symptoms.
"I, too. asked the question" she con-
continued "I asked It Of friend and she
replied: You know. my dear. a mind can
hold but one thought at time. Why not try
substituting q pleasant thought for your
worry thoughtT
"I tried'it At hrst found It hard TO con-
centrste every second on that pleasant
thought but I could concentrate enough to
make the worry thought understand It was
no longer welcome. And It was not SO long
before the pleasant thoughts had complete
mastery. Talk about The Rejuvenation Of
Aunt Mary was even more reJuyenated."
Pretty good philosophy. don't you think7

A Nuddcd Model.


One of the distressing, disconcert-
ing and probably disgusting idsap-
pointments of the week has been a
fishing job on the model drilling
well of Howard McClntock's just
north Of town. 1t is bad enough to
get a fishing job on a well out in
the sticks where the embellishments
of high toned life are absent. There
seems to be nothing in the way Of
swearing, royalty damning the Ill
luck when it occurs out where the
environments are in harmony with
hell raising. But to start a well and
have all the filligrees of scientific
living and drilling. to set ones self a
century ahead of the time in style
and equipment, city gas, electric
lights, shower bath. telephone, dicta-
graph for ercording the stories Of
the fellows on tour chronometer on
the temper screw, cushion on stool
and other appurtenances proclaiming
lateness of style-to have such a well
behave in the way of wells Of old and
mud up is too much to believe posi-
BILE were II not vouched for by the
actualities. 1t is a truth that the
model well has mudded. The tools
are stuck. Gable cut. perhaps, and

Lola Sutcliffe, now living at I541

"I don't blame him for leavirg,"
said the court.
The wife was granted $40 week
temporary alimony several weeks
ago when she won suit for sepa-

Mrs. B. F. Mills has received word
from her daughter, Mrs. r. T. Nc
Cutchen, that they have moved from
the mission in northern part of Philip
inc islands to Zamboanga, Mindanao.
Concerning the coming of the couple
to the last named place The Mindanao
Herald says:
Rev. and Mrs Robert Tarrant Nc
Cutchen arrived Tuesday morning on
the s. s. "Neil Macleod" Mr.. Nc
CuTchen has been appointed rector of
Holy Trinity by Bishop Brent. Holy
Trinity church has been without a
rector since the departure of Mr.. Mar
shall more than year ago and Mr..
NC Cutchen receives a hearty welcome
from the Protestant church-goers of
the city. Chaplains of the army have
given their services to the cOngrega-
ton from time to time and their
courtesy has been much appreciated,
but interest in spiritual affairs neces-
sartly lags in rectorless congregation.
There is large field for usefulness
awaiting Mr.. McCutchen here in Fam
boanga and he is assured the sincere
cooperation of the people. He is a
native of Wisconsin and graduate
of Hobart College and Nashotah Theo-
logical Seminary. He came to the
Islands in February, 1911, and until
now has been stationed at Sagada,
Mountain Province, where his work
has been among the wild people.
Mr.. and Mrs. McCutchen will make
their home in the rectory as soon as
it can be vacated by the present
tenants.

WITNESS LOCATED
Susan Altenloh Last Per-
son Seen With Nels
Thompson.

Mrs. Susan Alice Altenloh, wanted
as witness at the inquest on the
death of Nels Thompson, a Lodi section
laborer on the G. & n. w., was found
in Chicago and held to appear at Lodi
next Wednesday.
Thompson's body was found on the
railway tracks near Lodi on The morn
ing of Sept. 5. The presumption was
that he was killed by train. Some
circumstances, however, pointed to
foul play and District Attorney Bogue
ordered an inquest. The jury, on
viewing the body, found that part of
Thompson's left foot was cut off and
there was a three cornered ragged
wound in the back of his head. This
was sufficient to cause instant death.
Mrs. Altenloh, the last person seen
with Thompson the night before the
dead body was discovered, left Lodi
before she could be subpoenaed as q
witness. Her testimony being re-
garded as essential, the inquest was
continued from time to time while the
authorities were trying to locate her.
Thompson was a widower, As years
Of age. He leaves seven children.

Statement by Bishop MeSSnGr.

Archbishop Messmer has caused to
be read in Catholic churches of the
entire arch diocese a letter which pre-
scribes that.all Catholic families which
send their children to public schools,
lower than the eighth grade of the
grammar school, shall be forbidden
the sacraments. In his letter the
archbishop says:
'The crazy notion of some parents
that the American citizenship de
mands to have their children attend
the public school, as if our Catholic
schools were not American, or the
positively anti-christian idea that the
minds and hearts of their children
will profit ever so much more by go
ing to the public schools, are most as
suredly no excuses whatever.-M adj

Prairie du Sac could be pumped out,
and work in the same began this
week. The main work is pile
driving at present, but concrete work
will commence after some days.
Work on the bank on the east side of
the river is going on, earth filling be-
ing the main work at that point.
Rock filling on the dam proper on the
east side is also being done. The work
on the dam has been retarded to a
very great extent on account of re-
