The awful con- dition of Memphis under corrupt ring rule was not realized by Memphians. Neither life or property was safe with such a gang in power. Whenever that element gets into the saddle and get their hands on the strings of government there is no telling just where the poison and cor ruption will break out. It IS surprising that business men

Modern Short Story.

A commendable frankness, at least,
is to be found in the recipes which va.
rious magazines of America have print.
ed for the benefit of their potential
contributors. No longer can the con.
tributor be left in doubt concerning
the demands of the ordinarily close
mouthed editors.
The millennium has apparently been
reached and stories can now be man
ufactured with the same readiness and
by the same process as ready-made
clothes. Not until this branch of art
became thoroughly commercialized in
our own proud twentieth century did
it attain to the lofty rank Of an exact
science. In the old days when crude
methods prevailed, the poor short
story was the victim of certain we'll
meaning blunderers, such as Maupas
SAINT and Poe and Hawthorne, who de
MED any knowledge of the formulas
which the magazines now print broad
cast, and puttered and fused ovel
such petty details as truth, originality
style, construction and philosophy.

A Secret.

George Pence, veteran field exam
liner of the state board OF accounts,
whose home is in Columbus, Ind, tells
this story of Jim Cooper. a former fell
low townsman:
Pence worked in a bank. Cooper
appeared at the teller's window one
day, beckoned mysteriously to Pence
and, when he approached, whispered
that he would like private conference
in the back room of the bank.
Mr.. Pence hurried to the back room
and let Cooper in, closing the door
very carefully.
Cooper, grasping Pence by the coat
sleeve, moved to far and dark cor
ner of the room. Then he whispered
in Fences all-too-curious ear:
Can you change a f1fty-dollar bill
for me?"
"Yes," gasped Pence, waiting for the
climax of these strange actions.
"Ail right" whispered Cooper, still
keeping his hand up to his mouth fol

Street Railroad Comedy.

The uncertainty OF travel on the
cable cars in Edinburgh was respon-
sible for a little comedy the other
night, in which the principal actor was
an indignant and disappointed passen
ger. The passenger had Just paid his
penny fare, when the vehicle came 10
stop. It was an unofficial stop,
and when 1t was seen that there was
no immediate prospect OF resump-
ton Of the journey, the passenger con-
cerned demanded his money back. The
conductor, ON the ground that he
had punched the ticket, refused to
comply with the demand. Eventually
the passenger, in his indignation, lift.
ed the spare driving wheel which was
lying at the rear end of the car and
threatened to retain 1t as a tangible
substance for his lost journey. The
man was told that he would be given
in charge to the police. He threatened
to charge the conductor with the theft
of the penny. The carman called in
the policeman, and the parties pro
ceeded to the police station, where
| the passenger was charged with the
appropriation of the tramway com
pany's property. The police are pre-
pairing report upon 1t for the crown
prosecutor. The complaining passen
ger was not detained. The stoppage
on the route concerned in this tram

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: Leading indus
tries still surpass in actual output the
work of any previous year, and in
most cases capacity operations are as
sured for months to come, labor con-
ditions permitting. On strictly domes-
tic business, however, the rush to buy
clearly has abated, and there are more
different and convincing signs of a
turn in the price situation.
Recessions have occurred mainly in
raw materials, but also in few manu-
featured products, and there are re-
ports of concessions made as a stimu-
lus to retail distribution which has
again been retarded by the weather.
Since the point has been reached at
which the high costs are checking con-
sumptive demands, the evidence of a
hating in the advances and of a trend
toward reaction can not be regarded
as other than wholesome in their bear
ing on the future Weekly bank clear

to be expended will be about 'S25, 900.
Three concrete arches, 40-foot, a
45-foot and a 60-foot span, and two
steel bridges, riveted trusses of 40 feet
and 80 feet, respectively, have been

SUFFER TORTURE FROM COLD

That winter introduces many diff

Europe is quite evident, and some OF
these are illustrated in striking man.
ner by episodes of other campaigns
related in the Scientific American:
That winter adds greatly to the diff
culties and hardships Of the warning
European nations cannot be doubted.
1t is true that improvements in mill
tary methods and equipment have
made impossible such colossal horrors
as those attending Napoleon's retreat
from Moscow, or even those incidental
to the operations of the allied armies
in the Crimean war; yet the rigors Of
winter are still factor to be reckoned
with in both the strategical and the hui
manitarian aspects of the war.
AS to the sufferings entailed upon
the soldiers, few illustrations will
show that these are still inevitable.
OF the fighting in Manchuria In jan
uary, 1905, during the Russo-Jap-
anese war, Sir Ian Hamilton says:
| "Horsemen galloped about the field
with the foam and dripping sweat OF
the horses changing into crust like
snow and long dangling icicles. The

WORRY CALLED A SIN
MINISTER STRONG IN coNDEMNA-
TON OF BAD HABIT.
Really Amounts to Disease When One
Has Long Allowed Himself to In
duIge 1t Religious Belief
Pointed Out as Cure.

mo more fatal habit ever attacked
the human family than worry" said
Rt. Rev. Bishop Charles e. Woodcock
during a recent sermon, according to
the Minneapolis Journal. II can think
Of no more deadly drug. can think Of
no suicide more real. and, perhaps.
when we consider its effects, there are
very few sins which are greater"
Bishop Woodcock gave a vivid word
picture of the uselessness and evil eff
fects of worry, diagnosing it as dis
ease and concluding by prescribing a
remedy. The remedy he found in his
text, Casting all your care upon him,
| for he careth for thee" He spoke In
part as follows:
Some people continually get their
life out OF focus. They bother them
selves almost to death about ephemer-
al things. They put their troubles be-
tween God and themselves, instead OF
putting God between themselves and
their troubles.
mot only is worry sin-it is q
disease. The sufferer worries about
anything and everything until he wor-
ries because he has nothing to worry
about. There is no personal weak
ness which is greater than the consti-
tutional habit of worrying. There is
great distinction between worry and
care and proper anxiety. Worry Is
something that you add to care and
anxiety until you haven't time to do
anything else. People who really are
doing something haven't time to wor-
ry.
Worry poisons the blood, hardens
the arteries. impairs digestion and de-
stroys health. 1t poisons every bless.
ing, assassinates every hope, dims
every splendor and profanes every
bright prospect. No one ever heard OF
a single thing that worry ever helped
1t never inspired a single hope or ere
ated a single success. 1t is populating
our Warehouses; and our sanatoriumf
for the nervously broken down.
Most worries are by anticipation
1t is sin because it means a waste
of life. 1t is just as controllable as
the drink and drug habit. 1t has the
same effect on life and character thai
dissipation has. 1t is no more sinful
to drink yourself into the gutter thar
to worry yourself into the grave. YOU
won't be asked how you wasted YOU
life, but why you wasted your life.
There is a cure for worry. and tn,
remedy is absolutely sure and simple
1t is this: Every day has its care'
from below and its help from above
You Join the care from below with th'
help from above and there is nothing
In human history that you cannot taxi
up and bear and fulfill. Reach up Il
meet your helper and get up abov'
yourself and your cares. Cast you
) care upon him, for he cares for you.

Hardship to Authors.

1t seems to me that paying letter
postage on manuscript is rather hard
on poor authors. The average story
costs about thirty cents to mail, a
longer story so cents, a book some
times a much larger amount / in
clude returning the manuscript, as
most editors refuse even to read a
manuscript unless return postage is
inclosed. I recently read letter in
morning paper suggesting that the
government help the poor authors and
bfy bale of manuscripts. as they are
asked to do cotton.
