Electric Boat and the other stocks-"war brides'

of the curb brokers, and bought Electric Boat at TO-
The other day he sold his holdings for 100000 and

You Should Not Worry

mnmnmmummmmnmm
TTARRIMAN died twenty years before his
time. He tremendous worker, but :
work did not kill him.
What killed Hartman was thinking in bed
Thinking in business hours is constructive =
process Thinking in bed is usually worry
!. One why every should read history
is in order that he may know the folly of worry
Read the History of Rome by Ferrero, especially
those chapters following the assassination of Caesar
. See the pitifu worry of poor Cicero.
!. Should he follow the dictates of his conscience
and throw in his lot with the friends of Caesar, who
. had shown him much kindness?
Or should he take what seemed to be the safer
!. course, and join with Caesars assassns?
Day after day he tortured his soul with worry
. How pitfully unmportant all that worry seems
to U.S. two thousand years afterward. How clearly
: that if Cicero had simply followed his
conscience he could have spared himself all that
worry and saved his life and his honor
A greater than Cicero lived through far
greater period of trial. And he did not worry.
. That man Abraham Lincoln
. He depressed, yes: heartsick, yes But
worried? No!
When he tempted to worry by some trial
that seemed overwhelming, he would say to him
self, 'Ths too will pass
By which he meant that thousand such trials
had visited in centuries gone by, and had
passed away. His trial was important enough to
. make him think. But no trial could be important
enough to make him worry.
. certain business man faced his board of d-
rectors recently He had done his best-but he
had lost them large of money
One of the directors said to him:
''You don't seem to be much worried"
He replied:
"You gentlemen don't pay me any money to =
worry about your business. You pay me to do my :
best according to my judgment and conscience =
l have done that. To worry would not add one
penny to your balance Sheet

DEATH OF THE RIGHT REV. Will.
LIAM RlORDAN.

Monsignor William Riordan, born in
Ireland in 1888 and ordained at All
Hallows College, Dublin, in 1869 came
to Minnesota as assistant to the pastor
Of the cathedral, the Rev. Father John
Ireland. From 1870 to 1876 he was sta
toned at Chatfield, Mimi, to which
were attached the missions of Fillmore
county. He was in Rochester from
1876 till two years ago, when he &C.
cepted the chaplaincy of the novitiate
of the Sisters of St. Joseph. The serv-
ices at the novitiate took place at 9
A. M. and at St. Joseph's church at
$3.50 A. NJ; the burial was at Calvary
cemetery. The Right Rev. ]. J. Law
Ter celebrated the requiem mass. The
sermon was preached by Archbishop
ireland. A large delegation of Roches-
Ter citizens attended the funeral. Be-
cause Of his long, faithful and fruitful
services in Rochester, the citizens Of
all denominations joined in large num-
bers in mourning their deceased fell

people Of this parish will begin in
the spring the erection of beautiful

wealthy people, but it is not the
wealthy that build churches. Within
two months and nine days they have
paid of debt of $4,000. The new
site of the church cost $1O.500, but is

man Smith made 1t clear that he was
not charging individual members,
leaders or committee chairmen, ex.
cept to the extent that the General
Dam Bill, as it now stands, "smelled
to Heaven and would be of very doubt
full value to the, country If passed"
He also made the statement that
many committee chairmen are un-
aware of the bills that are before
their respective committees, and when
he was interrupted and asked to real.
ize that there are now nearly 10000
bills before the various committees
he replied that over $4,000 Of these
are duplicated and that it would re-
quire little study to determine the

tention.
Judge Smith is very anxious that
the balance of this session be spent
