On The War Path.

The Washington soldiers are reported
to have had a real good time the first
night they were at Harper's Ferry. They
drank the saloons dry, looted Erwin's
drug store OF 1000 postcards and few
other trifles that struck their fancy, con-
verted church lawn fete into the live
lest sort of stag party, and enjoyed them
selves to the utmost. The police force
of the Ferry did his utmost, but he
couldn't be everywhere at once, so the
rioters were unrestrained until the pro-
vost guard was called out.

LUCK.

most foolish, most idiotic, most dis
astrous. Better try to foretell the
weather by pitching pennies for
rain or for shine, than depend upon
that orbitless asteroid which floats
in its trackless space and goes by
the name of luck, because nobody
knows what else to call it.
Luck doesn't distribute itself with
common fairness, and it seems to
have little judgment or sense of
proportion; but if you analyze it
and tabulate it, you may find that
it more frequently visits those who
can use it than those who are too
lazy to do anything with it.
Many folks are asleep when luck
knocks at their door, or are too in
dolent to get up to let it in.
Luck may call upon you, but it
won't come in unless you go out
and grasp it, pull it toward you, tie
it down.
Cursing your luck won't make
luck your friend.
Envying other peoples luck won't
encourage luck to call upon you.
Figure on getting along without
luck, and yet be ready to use luck
if it comes your way.
Waiting for luck unmans a man
and dwarfs a boy. Don't think
about it. Don't wait for it. Don't
depend upon it. Forget it. Mind
your business. Move on as though
there wasn't any luck anywhere.
and you had never heard of it. But
if you get a glimpse of it, grab it,
make it your servant, not your
master. Luck uncontrolled is more
dangerous than gunpowder, the
riskiest thing to be found on the
Road to Success.

T UCK is the result of chance.
Success is the product of
- intention.
What is luck?
don't know, and l don't know
anybody who does know.
But luck exists. 1t is no use to
deny that it is a power for good or
for evil.
The unsuccessful man claims that
luck is against him, and holds luck
responsible for his shortcomings
The man of success refuses to rec
ognize luck, because, if he did, it
would shock his conceit.
Luck seems to be everywhere and
nowhere. 1t comes from the land
of mystery, circulates like an ire
sponsible comet dissolves itself,
and disappears. 1t follows no beat
en- track, and obeys no law. Its
composition is unknown, its ways
are unreliable. No chemist has
analysed it, no sheriff has caught il,
and no jailer has confined it.
Some time somebody will dissect
it. and then the world will under
stand it, but not now. or near now.
No matter if luck plays an i'm
portant part on the stage of busi-
ness, or of any other kind of en-
deavor, it should not, it must not,
be depended upon.
If you wait for luck. you are
pretty sure not TO meet it.

loafer on the dock.

LIVED ON CANDY FOR Sc YEARS
WOman's Digestive Organs in Per-
feet Condition Mt Death

Carlisle. Pa. Nov. SO.-Miss Mary
Rock, who died at Chambersburg last
week at the age of seventy-three. had
lived for fifty-six years of that time on
milk, water, coffee and candy alone. She
had imagined that she could not eat solid
foods. An autopsy made Immediately fol-
lowing the womans death revealed the
fact that her digestive organs were in
perfect condition and that she might
easily have eaten anything she wanted
to. Local physicians consider this one
Of the most remarkable examples OF the
hypochondriacal condition eNtant.
When Miss Rock was eighteen years
old she one day became much overheat-
ed and drank a large quantity of water.
She was Ill for time and when she
commenced to recover she became af-
f!cted with the belief that her stomach
would not hold anything solid. She as
simulated the slgary nutriment of candy
by sucking it. Miss Rock always had
been active.
