Why Worry9

Sickness may come; death may be at the door, but the man who does not give up cuts down the doctor bills and cheats the undertaken altogether.
 Business deals may go wrong and financial disaster may threaten, but the man who takes stock in himself and remains on the job seldom enters the bankruptcy court.
 Poverty may be at the door, and hard luck may bring diversity, but the man who takes his fortune with a smile will be at the dock when his ship comes in.
 So why worry?
 Worry saps vitality, brings gray hairs. produces wrinkles. and It can turn a sunshiny day into dreary one.
 Without a cloud in the sky, worry can make one believe there will be a downpour any minute.
 Worry discounts bills receivable, adds interest to those which are to be paid and dlsturbs the scheme of things generally.
 It never won battle. It never cleared a situation. It never solved a probem.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

 The east delights In memory, the west In prophecy.
 The east says: This thing Is rather unpleasant and lnconyenient for us but 1t served our fathers well; there fore we will keep it. The west says; This thing will be a nuisance for us, brought up In other customs, but it will serve our children well; therefore we will adopt 1t.
 The east. though moving slowly for ward. looks backward; the west though sometimes moving backward yet looks forward
 The east. takes delight in being be hind the times, the west In being ahead of them.

Dust In One,s Ewes.

To "cast dust Into ones eyes" per fectly explains Itself It Is, however. interesting to know that Epaminondas at the battle of Tegea defeated the Spartans by masking his movements with a large body of cavalry. He caused the horsemen to gallop to and fro in front of the enemy in such a way as to raise cloud of dust and so yelled the movements of his infantry and enabled them to take up a new and more advantageous position

GRAND TRUNK RAILROAD
 NEARING COMPLETION

A correspondent of the Edmonton Capital, writing from G. T. P. rail- road in the Yellowhead Pass coun- try, says:
 With 4,000 men, 10 steam shov- els, two big boats, and hundreds of carloads of dump carts, cranes and tackle, the Grand Trunk Paci- fic contractors have now got the work we'll under way for the last lap of the transcontinental, being the Z1O miles from the present head of steel of mile 53 to Fort George.
 The planning is that the work from the Pacific coast end and from the Edmonton end will con meet up at the embryo inter noun tain metropolis. Engineers claim that the golden spike will be driy- on one year from now, but the con tractors conservatively estimate that the road will not be completed for at least two years.
 Surprising as it may seem, the Grand Trunk is just now entering upon the hardest part of their whole work, the 21O miles to Fort George, and also surprising is it to learn that this work is made the hardest not because there is heavy rock work, but because there is no rock work at all. On the ontrary the whole stretch is along sidehills composed of the slipperiest and mud diest mica clay to be found anywher on this mundane sphere.
 The nature of the ground between railhead and Fort George is a gen uine heart breaker for the engi- ners. The mica clay will slide on the slightest provocation, or on no provocation whatever. In dozens of places it has been necessary to dig out the same place two or three times,
 In the 21O miles between steelhead and Fort George, there are alto gether 32 steel bridges, big and little to be constructed, and among these are six bridges, everyone of which will be considerably larger than the low level bridge at Edmon- ton. After leaving the Juane the road crosses the Fraser four times before reaching Fort George and | when 1t is considered that the Fra ser is a bigger river at Tete Juane than the Saskatchewan, is at Ed monton, some appreciation of the undertaking may be had The first of these bridges is at mile 100, about 47 miles below present rail- head, and it is to this point that the beginners claim they will have the rails laid by Christmas-but they wont. At the canyon, 6S miles further along, the road crosses the river twice within a very few miles, and at the canyon it crosses once again This makes the four cross ings below railhead, and there is still the other one at Respondent, mile 29, making altogether five times that the road crosses the Fraser in 250 miles.
