Work and Worry.

Toll is healthful. Even excessive
labor can long be endured. But wor-
ry is a corrosive that speedily eats
out the nerves and tissues of life. He
who frets about his work burns life s
candle at both ends. 1t is the friction
rather than the revolution of the
wheels that wears the machinery. He
who knows how to do his level best
and leaves the results to God, has
learned one of the chief secrets of
life. But he who lie always worry
ing about how things are coming out
is most foolish. Some people con-
complain and protest. They
imagine their lot is so much harder
than that OF their neighbor. They
are always regretting that they did
not do some other way. Such persons
will have nerves set on edge, will
have chronic indigestion, a gloomy
and diseased brain. Sun
shine and health are close friends.
Do the best you can and stew not.
Work hard; work very hard; there is
much TO do. There is much no one
can do as well as you; but do not bear
two burdens-work and worry. All of
the fretting in the world will not
change matters, it will only render
you unhappy and unfit for the largest
service. Mix all of your burden bear
ing with smiles and songs.

Spring and Snow Storm Mix.

Spring was ushered in Monday and
just to make things interesting one
of the biggest snow storms of the
season arrived last night, and about
a foot of heavy, wet snow covered
the ground this morning. Snow
shovels which had been laid away
for another season were resurrected
and our citizens were given a, good
mornings exercise. With this big fall
of snow there will be no, worry about
moisture in the ground this spring.

"MY HOME TOWN GIRL"
Coming to the Grand Opera House
March 30. Minneapolis journal
Tells About it in the
Following:

Hyams and Mcintyre, when net
travelling in vaudeville, have been
associated with musical comedy o.
the better sort, in which clean and
wholesome fun is compounded VITA
fetching music, pretty dancing and
charming stage pictures. Their last
previous production here was THE
Girl Of My Dreams" in the fall of
1910. They come now with confec
ton by Frank Stammers called my
Home Town GIRL with Perry j.
Kelley as the producer. besides hav-
ing "a notable New York cast, bevy
of pretty singing and dancing girls,
bright, lifting tdnes and costly and
elaborate scenery"
The piece is also provided with a
real plot. This is truly something
of novelty in musical comedy, but
it has teen done before, and perad :
venture can be put over again.
1t would be bootless to follow
here the pereginations of that plot
Sufficient for the present purpose is
it to say that John Hyams plays a
New York society man VINO must be
good" for year if he is to be Sc
cure in the possession of a million
dollar legacy-legacies On the stage
are usually round million; and
that Miss Mcintyre is the home town
girl, who does not quite understand
when, to save friend who is just
about to wed, the said Hyams takes
the blame for some "doings" he
didn't happen to have done. There
are some other romances interwoy-
en- with this one, and decked out
with more or less comedy. All OF
them, providentially, come to hap
py issue at the precise moment when
the time comes to ring down the
final curtain-which is a habit of
stage romances, particularly in mu-
steal comedy.
Mr.. Hyams declares that, though
my Home Town Girl" halls from
Grand Rapids, Mich, the atmosphere
really provided is that OF his old
home town, Troy, n. Y. But thai
doesn't really matter, for it is well
known that all home towns are alike.

PAT PLEASED AT

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March 10
Pat Moran Is highly pleased at the ginger

short-sishted that he claims his team
is going to win again, or that 1t is any
better than It was last year but his
general attitude Is one OF optimism.
"t am not only we'll satisfied with the
way the boys have gone at their work,
but 1 believe that their spirit is even
better than 1t was last year, and I
had no complaint to make then" said
Moran this morning. "rhere isn't a man
on my club that ! think Is not doing
his best to get In condition. and believe
this is going TO tell when the race begins.
It Is entirely too early for me to say any
thing about prospects, or even about what
any Individual player Is going to do, but
| will say that It seems to me that every
player on my club looks better than he
did at this time last season

that the moral effect Of having won the
