THE WORRY HABIT.

A worrying woman once made a
list of the possible unfortunate events
and happenings which she felt sure
would come to pass and be disastrous
to her happiness and welfare, writes
Orison SWEET Marden in November
Nautilus. The list was lost, we are
told, and to her amazement. when she
recovered it, a long time afterwards,
she found that not a single unfortun-
ate prediction in the whole catalogue
Of disasters had been realized
Is not this a good suggestion to
WORKERS? Write down everything
which you think is going to turn out
badly. and then put the list aside.
You will be surprised to see what a
small percentage OF the doleful things
ever come to pass.
The most deplorable waste of en-
ergy in human life is caused by the
fatal habit of anticipating evil, of
fearing what. the future has in store
for us, and under no circumstances
can the fear or worry be justified by
the situation, for it is always an i'm
aginary one. utterly groundless and
without foundation.
One of the worst forms of worry
is the brooding over failure. It
blights the ambition. deadens the pur-
pose and defeats the very object the
worrier@ has in view.

SAYS UNCLE CIV

He that boasts that he has no en-
thusiasms is very near to the idiot
who takes pride in his affliction.
There are both kinds of folks in the
world, more's the pity, and it is hard
to tell which is the more unfortunate.
1t is one thing to be voicing ones en-
thusiasms continually and another to
entertain them. But, disagreeable as
he is the half-baked enthusiast is of
more use on the earth than the over
baked intellectual For the one still
has that divine motive power in him
that puts him ahead and gets results.
The other may be highly cultured,
but he is also, for all practical pur-
poses, completely and intensely dead.
The pitifulIy imperfect ideas of the
noisy prattler may lead to huge
waste of energy, but in the end some
good is accomplished. The man be-
nonconductor of cosmic current and
is incapable of generating energy I'M
der any circumstances.
For enthusiasm is the bloom of
pulsing, throbDing, dynamic, result
getting life. without such life there
is no enthusiasm, and such life exists
where enthusiasm is The two are
inSeparable cause and effect,
which relation they bear.
Furthermore, enthusiasm is an in
tensifier and a conserver of energy.
He that goes joyfully to work, with
a longing taste in his mouth for his
task, has performed half his labor.
There is no stimulator of mind and
muscle like that particular kind of
joy which we call enthusiasm. With
a shockingly large proportion of the
race the hardest part of labor is
creating an appetite for it and an in
terest in it. He that hath enthusiasm
for a yoke fellow knows naught of
the -sapping inertia which the
unenthusiastic worker must over
come. He that drags himself to toll
is weary and spent before he lays his
hand to it. He that is drawn by his
enthusiasm carries to the task a mo-
mentum that breaks down all obsta-
cles and makes a plaything of that
which his sluggish neighbor finds
back-breaking burden.
He that boasts that he has no en-
thusiasm is a voice crying from the
tomb of manhood.-(Copyrigh 1912,

F2CA OTHER pEES
PRISON REFORM NEEDED.


When hundreds of prisoners mutiny
as they have done at the penitentiary
at Rawlins, Wyo., the failure Of the
prison system as a reformative agency
becomes tragically apparent. In
theoretical sense the prisons are eN-
pected to provide a means of teaching
lawless men and women a respect for
the law and a knowledge by which
they may make themselves better
fitted to occupy a position of respect
in their community. Frequent reports
of uprisings in different prisons indi-
cate that the scheme of reformation is
either a failure or that tyrannous
methods have been used to subdue
rather than improve the condition OF
the prisoners. Opponents of the
present system of Incarceration may
point to the prison as a failure. hut
they have failed to suggest a remedy.
At the same time it must be admitted
that the determination Of practically
every one of hundreds of prisoners to
secure their liberty even at the price
of murder shows q lamentable failure
to achieve the primary object Of i'm
prisOnment. A rigid investigation into
the cause of the mutiny with the pos
sible installation of humane methods
of punishment for minor offenders
within prison walls might result in less
disturbances of the nature engendered
at the Rawlins penitentiary.-Pitt
burg Post.

worry. Worry means ruination, death
and destruction to every vestige of
beauty 1t means loss of flesh, sal
lowness, teIl-tale lines in the face, and
no end of disasters. Never mind what
happens. an actress must not worry.
