WORK AND WORRY.

Worry never did a thing
That was worth the while
All world of worrying
Ever made a heart to sing
or a lip to smile.
Worry wraps herself i'm woe.
Worry bows her head
Worry never sees the glow
Where the lights Of morning grow
In the sky ahead.
Work has won the victories
I'm the stress of strife:
Work has crossed the story seas.
Work has solved the mysteries
In the lore of life.
Work has never time for tears
While there's moro to do
Work, upon the path of years,
AS the golden goal appars,
Sees some goal anew.
Worry sits with folded hands
Work is on its way.
Worry fingers on the sands
Work discovers larger lands
In the dawning day.
Worry weeps and worry signs
over broken toys
work looks up with beaming eyes
To the newer bluer skies
And path Of joys.
work and worry travel near,
You who seek the goal.

one with heart and face of cheer
And unconquercd soul.

FIX RATIO OF
SPURIOUS COINS
Bad Money Averages Four Dollars
in Every 100000

If the 'calculation of government eN-
perts don't so wrong there is just 81
out of every S3Oo. 600 which is spurious
In other words, il has been discovered
that out Of every 100000 in silv Fl
! there is no less than SO of "hunco'
money which has been made some
where outside of United States mint,
In the currency the rate does not run
SO high, the figures being set at 81 20
every 100000.
or course nobody knows just how
much bad money there is in the coun-
try, but after a years work by govern
ment secret service men the above
conclusion has been arrived at
As soon as a piece Of counterfeit
money is reported To the government a
thorough inspection by Uncle Sans
slcuths is made, Some OF the imita-
tiuus are So nearly perfect that they
viii easily deceive the average person.
But when they fan into the hands OF
an expert they are branded forever
Before the art OF engraving had
reached its present stage il was dinl-
cult matter 10 turn out currency which
would stand the test 10 one accus-
toned To handling money in any quan-
uty, "a spurious bill would be evident
at a glance. Later years. howeye,,
have made it difficult for secret ser

soon or later the man who makes the
counterfeit is detected.

Upper Hudson Ice
Houses All Filled.

The Albany, N. Y, Argus of March
10 says: This week will see the end of
the 1914 ice harvest on the upper Hud-
son, with the dealers, big and little,
having their houses filled to the roof.
The Knfckerbocker Ice company Is
cleaning up the harvest at its houses
between Castleton and Athens and by
Saturday every elevator along the riv-
er will be shut down.
This year, with the river frozen over
since before January / was the best
year for Ice on the upper Hudson IN
the last 90 1t Is estimated that over
1000. 900 tons were cut from the river
between this city and Kingston, and
there Is an abundant crop yet, al
though the time is late for harvesting
Officials Of the Knickerbocker Ice COM
pany say that the houses OF their COM
pany along the river are so filled that
there is sufficient to supply the trade
in New York, even though pound OF
ice is not harvested next winter, which,
however, Is unlikely.
Except for the thaw early in Febru-
airy, which caused the ice to move out
from below the Greenbush bridge to
mile south, and the blizzard, which
brought huge drifts on the Ice field,
the work of harvesting has gone on
without interruption, and the only han
dicap has been lack Of labor.

house, just below the city, was stop
ped on Saturday. A crop OF $4,000 tons

Sagadahoc Politics

The Kennebec Journals Bath re-
beginning to realize that they secured
little comfort from last Mondays
election when the Republican elected
Judge Arthur j. Dunton for mayor
and also elected sufficient Republicans
to the city council to give them an ov-
erwhelming majority in both boards.
There Is not the best of feeling
among the leaders of the local democ-
racy and it is well realized by the old
line members of the party that they
must do something before the Septem-
Der election to keep their party from
going on the rocks. But it now ap-
pears as If the harm had been done
and the Republican turnover of week
ago Is forecasted by many as the
handwriting on the wall which indi-
Gates the flow Of the ballots next Sep
tember.
Some have suggested sending for
Congressman McGillicuddy and in
some quarters it is limited that d. j.
may be expected in town almost any
day to look over the situation, inter-
view leading members of the party and
otherwise attempt to patch up the old
ship and at the same time make re-
pairs to his own fences.
At all events the return of the Re-
publicans to local supremacy has CIV
en- the Democrats a terrible jolt and
has filled the hearts of the Republican
leaders with renewed enthusiasm.
There Is a strong sentiment fayoring
Republicanism throughout Sagadahoc
county and now that Bath has led the
way there is little doubt but what the
other towns viii follow suit.
Mayor elect Dunton is looked upon
by all parties as a strong man admir-
ably adapted to administer the city's
affairs for the best interests of all. Mr..
Dunton Is now looking into the city's
affairs TO acquaint himself with the
business of his office and 1t is expect
ed will have many important sugges-
tions to make in his inaugural address
next Monday morning. He will have
strong support from both boards OF
the city council both of which are
composed of able business men. and
Bath people are anticipating year of
business progress in city administra-
ton for the ensuing year.

HALE WILL NOT
OPPOSE MR.. KINDS

Portland, Me-, March 11.-Col. Fred
erick Hale of this city will not run
in the primaries against Representa-
tive Asher c. Kinds and the present
member of Congress from this district
bids fair to win the nomination with
out opposition. Mr.. Kinds papers are
in circulation and Republicans in the

this matter taken care of in a salts
factory manner. That Mr.. Kinds VIII

Col. Hale has been home but Two

order that there has been strong de-
mand for Mr. Kinds in both YORK ana
Cumberland counties. He prefers 10
aid in the State fight in September as
national committeeman, rather imam
devote his energies solely to his own
fortunes in this district. Col. Haze
letter is as follows:
Since nv return to Portland have
been repeatedly asked what my atti-
tude in the matter of the Repuplican
nomination for Congress in the ISL
District would be. In February my
friends cabled me in Paris that MI.
Kinds had refused to allow his name
to go before the primaries on account
Of in health. 1 cabled Mr.. Norton.
editor of the Evening Express that
was sorry that Mr.. Kinds could not
run again and that if on my return
the Republicans of the LIST Distrlct
wanted me to enter the contest would
do so. The announcement of Mr..
Kinds, withdrawal came to me as
surprise. and l had had no intention
Of contesting the nomination with MIN.
On nv return to this country 10 days
ago I learned that Mr.. Kinds had oe-
cided to run again if not opposed TOT
tbe nomination. believe that the next
election will be a vitality important one
for the Republican party. l peheVe
that we Republicans will have to make
tho fight of our lives and that we
shou,d enter the campaign with unit
cd forces. Under the circumstances
while I confess / am somewhat sur
nrised at the change in Mr.. Kinds
n,ans. If it seems best that Mr.. Kinds
should have the nomination without
onnosition I shall cheerfully acquiesce
and shall not be the one to bring ABOUT
a fight in the primaries
