prlest Spots In America.

According to the weather bureau
returns one OF the driest spots In the
United States is In the Fresno district
Of California. They have had only "a
per cent OF the normal rainfall since
March 1. The west coast generally
has been short OF precipitation. An
other dry district centers In st. Louis.
which has only 32 per cent of normal
rainfall. The Ohio valley has had
from half to twothirds OF the usual
quota, and there are some very dry
spots In the Southwest and the South
east that have not yet been cleared
up. But generally the country Is fair
ly we'll supplied with moisture for the
late summer season. Streams are
fairly full and reservoirs are not low
as a rule. The distribution is uneven,
however. Fort Worth, Texas. has 1874
per cent of normal. and Fort Smith,
Ark, only as per cent. Some portions
of Kansas have had three weeks OF
100 per cent weather. practically ar

When weIIlnaton WA. General.

The greatness of Wellington is never
more admiringly remembered than in
times of strife-and perhaps never
more usefully quoted The duke one
day wanted bridge constructed, and
the officer of the royal engineers whom
he consulted on the matter reported
that 1t could not be managed. Another
officer was sent for, from another di-
vision of the army. with the result
that the task was duly accomplished.
This caused the duke to put the fol-
lowing in "Orders:" "He who In war
fails to do what he undertakes, may
always plead the accidents which in
variably attend military affairs; but
he who declares thing to be impos-
sible, which is subsequently accom-
plished, registers his own incapacity."
Another wise saying" Of Wellington
comes from another reader, and 1t Is
appropriate to the moment. He was
asked what was the best test Of q
great general, and he answered. TIC

Il have seen in my travels several
hundred OF these offers to take In

Recently someone who seemed to
know issued denial of the prevalent
impression that Cen. w. T. Sherman
said war is hell" ]. p. Francis of
Nickerson declares he heard General
Sherman say 1t. He writes: II never
understood that General Sherman used
the term war is hell In any Of his or
ders or official correspondence, but did
use the term in public address at a
soldiers reunion at Columbus, o., in
1880. The writer was seated near the
speakers stand and recollects the oc-
casion which called the famous ex-
preston from the general. General
Sherman, in his address. referred to a
particular military feat which called
(on part of the troops selected to per-
form the task assigned theIn) for
heroic courage to accomplish the task
successfully And when ne closed the
narration the militia boys gave =

pie In Different Ways, But II 10
Never a Welcome Visitor.

The mental state OF a person suf
fering from nerves" is very much
like that of man who is wanted by
the police, or who has just heard
rumor that the ship on which his wife
and children have sailed has been
sunk in a collision, or who has cried
"fire" in a theater and been thrown
out, and knows his name has been OBJ
tanned by the reporters. Very often 1t
is a combination of all three, with per-
haps the added sensation OF man in
doubt IL he closed the safe before leav-
ing the office.
Perhaps some sufferers will disagree
with this and say II is not like that at
all, but rather like having fallen into
a dry well. from which you can hear
the voices OF people passing near by,
but are unable to make yourself heard,
or like having accidentally shot your
neighbor's only child while cleaning q
revolver.
The point is that II is distinctly un-
pleasant.
Any bad quarter OF an hour that you
may have experienced of uneasiness.

There is nothing about this In the
books. There the symptoms are de
scribed as loss of interest" inability
to concentrate" extreme depression,
feeling OF numbness in the extremi
ties" etc. In a way this Is true; JUS
as 1t would be true OF the men referred
to above. The man wanted by the po
lice would take little interest In tht
shop windows, and the man who thinks
the ship has sunk would not get very
far with letter arranging the details
of a business reorganization; and as
for the man thrown out OF the theater
he would probably admit. II brought tc
It, that he was profoundly depressed.
None OF these individuals would fee
that the books quite did justice I,

saying that none OF them would re
