the excitement that swept through the
crowded room.
To Langdon alone the calling of Mary
came as no surprise, and he was AT
her side In a moment, whispering re-
asa france. and urging her to answer as
simply and clearly as possible the ques-
tons she was asked. His calm gave
her back some measure Of hcr own SCR

as she took the oath and, stepping up
into the Witness stand, looked down
upon that sea Ol faces. For q moment
they swan before her eyes, and with n
catch in her throat she remembered
the last time she had looked down upon
crowded faces: looked down across the
footlights upon thousands of smiling
lips and friendly eyes above snow

up at her were avid with curiosity;
some hostile. some sympathetic.

The Owner of the Soil

The man who stands upon his own soil
who feels that, by the law of the land in
which he lives, ne is the rightful and ex-
elusive owner of the land which ne tills,
feels more strongly than another the Chatac-
ter of man as the lord of an inanimate
world. Of this great and wonderful sphere,
which, fashioned by the hand of God, and
upheld by His power, is rolling through the
to the sky! 1t is the space on which the
generation before moved in its round of
duties, and he feels himself connected by
visible link with those who follow him, and
to whom he is to transmit a home.
Perhaps his farm has come down to him
from his fathers. They have gone to their
last home: but he can trace their footsteps
over the scenes of his daily labors. The
roof which shelters him was reared by those
to whom he owes his being. Some intesest-
ing domestic tradition is connected with
every Enclosure. The favorite fruit-tree
was planted by his fathers hand. He
sported in boyhood beside the brook which
still winds through the meadow. Through
the field lies the path to the village school
of earlier days. He still hears from the
window the voice of the Sabbath bell,
which called his fathers to the house of
God; and near at hand is the spot where
his parents lay down to rest, and where,
when his time has come, he shall be laid
by his children.
These are the feelings of owners of the
soil. Words cannot paint them-gold can
not buy them: they flow out of the deepest
fountains of the heart; they are the very
life spring of fresh, healthy, and generous
national character. edward Everett.

Worry, A Poison

Worry, like all other depressing emotions,
is poison. 1t is short circuit that burns
OUT the mental batteries and destroys the
power for useful activity.
1t is not merely a habit--it is a real dis
ease. 1t is not merely the surrender of the
will to morbid fancies or imaginary cause
of anxiety--it is an actull disease, real
physical state, as real as is indigestion,
rheumatism or any other bodily disease.
Within the last few years the emotions
and their influence upon the body have
been made the subject of laboratory study,
and numerous highly interesting, important
and practical facts have been developed.
1t is true that the question, ''What is emo
tom" still remains unsolved, as does the
greater and noble question, "What is the
mind?" But the influence of the various
emotions upon the body is now fairly we'll
understood and can be described in definite
physiological terms and thus made the SUBJ
ject of rational consideration.
The emotions are perhaps among the
most powerful of all the influences which
affect the body, and their specific effects
present as definite, as clearly defined charac-
teristics as do the effects produced by heat,
cold, electricity and other physical agents
such bodily states as hunger, thirst and
fatigue. Health
