IF YOU WORRY, READ this

Worry never brought any good to
anybody. But, you say, 81 don't worry
because want to, L worry because I
can't help it," Or, 81 worry because
| have so much to worry about"
We all have our troubles and worry,
of course, makes matters worse. The
patient generally recognizes this fact
without being able to profit by it.
The doctor who could meet this ner-
vous condition and cure it would be
the most popular medical man alive.
But he cannot do it because the form
of nervous exhaustion known as neuras-
thenia, OF which worry is characteristic
symptom, must be cured by the patient
himself That is why you should write
today for the book "Diseases OF the
Nervous System" and read the chapter
on "Neurasthenia. So many people
have read it and written back, "This
hits my case exactly, | am giving the
treatment trial and being benefited"
that the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, n. Y. has had lot OF
these books printed and will send you
a copy free on request.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are a nom
alcoholic tonic, particularly suited for
nervous, neurasthenic people. Your
druggist sells them or they will be mall
ed postpaid on receipt of price, SO cents
per box, six boxes for $3.50.

WHEN CROWS MOBILIZE.

The crows are masters of mobiliza-
ton. Such notifications have frequent
ly been investigated. Usually they prove
to be for the attack on some enemy.
Thoreau speaks of the crows "burst-
ing up above the woods where they were
perching like the black fragments of a
powder mill just exploded" When they
are gathered for war purposes their cries
will lead you to the spot where they are
fighting, and these same bursts of black
fragments above the trees, usually fol-
lowing an especial uproar of cawing,
will direct you to the center of the bat
tie.
Walter King Stone, the illustrator, and
Charles Livingston Bull have told me of
a mobilization they once witnessed, when
the crows gathered for hours and the
two observers were able to penetrate the
woods to the exact spot beneath the
feathered explosions. There they found
great horned owl flying low in the
trees with dead crow in his talons.
Whether this was the original cause of
the battle or whether he had grabbed the
crow in one of the descents of the birds
about his head they, of course, could not
say He was evidently struggling to
find a dead tree where he could take re-
fuge. He was saved probably by the
coming of night.
Cows have even been known to at
tack foxes, as Winslow Homer's paint
ing is the most famous witness.
A farmer near my home who has OBJ
served crows for many years and has the
reputation of knowing more about them
than any one else in the neighborhood,
tells me that almost invariably in his ex-
perience the cause of a large mobiliza-
ton is either big owl or hawk. The
little screech owls are also attacked, but
by lesser numbers. He has also person
ally seen the crows attack fox while it
was crossing an open field, and once he
watched a flock of nearly 100 crows
worrying Skye terrier dog, which was
SO thoroughly frightened that it was
running in circles. l have seen crows
attack cat also, but the cat always is
wise enough to make for cover. Walter
Prichard Eaton, in Harper's Magazine.

lice cream" in the little store window
across the road, looked attractive, but
proved to be the only sign of ice cream
in evidence.
The dusk had fallen and the campfire
was burning brightly when we returned
to camp, and around the fire many
''highly- colored" stories were related,
in many OF which "bear" figured large
ly. Our driver told an Interesting tale
of bride and groom who visited the
park some seasons ago. Some Of the
drivers desiring to have some fun with
the couple, stole the sugar bowl from
the dining table and sprnkled its con-
tents literally about the tent after the
couple had retired The sugar attracted
the bears by the dozen, more or less,
and the unfortunate bride and groom
lay awake all night and shivered with
apprehension as they listened to the
prowlings and the groWlings of their
nocturnal visitors.
About nine o'clock the fishermen re-
turned, weary but triumphant, proudly
displaying string of fourteen red,
speckled beauties for our mornings
breakfast. They reported the fish so
eager for the hook that they snapped at
the flies as soon as thrown, and that the
fishing in Yellowstone Lake was fully
equal to the widest tales of the most
enthusiastic press-agents.
Mindful of an early start on the NOR
row, we sought our tent well before the
ten O'Clock curfew, and as no nocturnal
visitors prowled about to disturb our
slumbers, the first sound that penetrat-
ed our consciousness was the voice of
the ''pack-rat" coming to build our
morning fire.
