The Worry Habit.

A man said to me recently: why you
just must worry about some things" L
was surprised to hear him say il for
generally speaking, women are supposed
to be the worriers." In fact, usually
for the entire family, and If they are a
little pressed for time, lie awake nights
to catch up with a few they did not have
time for during the day.
Worry is a useless operation, and causes
more needless wear and tear upon mind
and body than ten times the same amount
of strength used in work. 1t soon spoils
all the good looks woman has and ruins
her health. Don't do it.
If it is something that should be helped
and you can do ii, no matter how hard

and do it. If it can't be helped, then ali
the worrying will not change it. SO for

women worry because they cannot have

everything that enters into their lives

Every man and woman should discour-

Sez Lemuel Hicks, sez he to me,
The times amt like what they used to be,
When feller could go with a ten-cent

And git enough bacon for to grease
The pancake griddle all nice and neat
And then have good chunk left to eat
Then butter was Is cents pound
And We always had enough to &C round; /;
A feller could go with a dollar bill
And a whole blamed grocery order fill.
But nowadays fer a five banknote
A feller can't git morn'n he can tote
Right home in the pocket of his overcoat.
Beats all how far feller could go
On dollar back forty years or so.
But prices are gettin' so gol dunn high
Wen all eat hay like a hoss bime by.
Them good old days we will see no more
When man with a dollar could buy out
a store.
But there is one thing that we must allow.
Ahere want so many dollars as there
are right now.

PROFESSION lgllHsT
FIRE NOM ASSURED
Chemical Company No. 2 Now Pos
SCISSOR Of New Chemical Engine,
Ready for Red Demon.

Standing in a local garage for
period of something more than four
months, bought by order OF one City
Council, action rescinded by another,
of no use to the fire boys, the large
chemical engine is at last ready to be
uaed by the fire ladies. Through the
unceasing and tireless efforts OF Chief
c. E. Jenkins, aided by two or three
members of Chemical Company No. 2,
the boys now have an engine of the
latest type with which to fight the
red.tongued demon of destruction
whenever and wherever occasion de-
mands.
Chief Jenkins is mainly responsible
for its being here. He it was who first
led the fight for 1t in the old City
Council, being an Alderman. and when
the new Council rescinded the action
on the ground that there was no
money with which to make the first
payment (Which was true and there
fore legitimate). he got busy and be-
gan to devise ways and means by
which he could retaif it. He succeed
ed. The engine is here and the homes
and business property it will protect
and save will amply repay those who
subscribed toward paying for 1t. That
however, is in the future. At present
there is need of funds to help pay
for 1t. The business men of Bryan
should and will meet this need. An
other reason why they should do So,
the insurance rate will be lowered
when companies find Bryan has ade-
quate fire protection. The saving in
insurance alone will pay for this en-
CINE in year or SO.
On last Sunday an alarm OF fire was
turned in, and though it proved to be
false, it gave the boys chance to
give the big chemical test. The
streets were muddy, but that made no
