HEAP. :.

"Doctor, l am not sick, but I don't feel right" That is what many say to me when they come to see me the first time. And that just expresses it. You are not sick enough to go to bed. You can eat, you can sleep, you can work.
 But you don't work with the vim and zest of former days. Your sleep is not restful, and you don't enjoy your food as you once did. And your nerves get the best of you. Things bother you, ruffle you, that you never noticed before. You begin to see diff faculties where there really are none. Tri1es worry you, and not having enough troubles of your own, you borrow some.
 Of course, to a casual observer, you seem the same, because you are try ing to control yourself. And if you should tell a friend. or go to an in experienced doctor, they will tell you you only imagine things; you should shake it off. You begin to doubt your self. You sometimes think they are right and try to brace up and be bright and cheerful. But then your old feeling will come back with re- newed vigor. You begin to wonder If it really is your mind only. And if 1t is so, is it the first step to insan- ity? Anguishing thoughts begin tor turing you; you are trying your best to fight them down, to appear happy. but in vain. You find yourself in the grip of an invisible power that seems to sap your life blood.
 And when you feel your strength energy and power slipping away from you, when you find you cant do jus tice to your work any longer, then you become Respondent and might even feel tempted to end it all.
 You are very much in the same condition as a delicately constructed engine, which has not been cared for right. Put it in the hands of an ex- perenced man and he will soon have 1t in fine working order. But trying your own hand at it, or turn it over to an unskilled person, and it will soon be fit for the scrap heap.
 Let me save you from the scrap

CAPT. HURLEY TALKS
What Was, Was, Because State Po- Iiceman Says 1t Was-Iire tnvcsti- cations.

Captain Robert T. Hurley, who has a state wide reputation among news papers for his ability to talk much and say nothing, was in the city to- day. He was here making investiga- tionS concerning fires. While in town he visited the H. H. Corbin & Sons Box Shop.
 Captain Hurley said previous to his visit to the shop on Church street that he had made his findings on that fire some time a"o and his conclusion was that it was not incendiary.
 Whether the fire was due to care Iessncss or negligence has not been settled in his mind. "ElemCntS or conditions enter into that" said Cap tain Hurley. What was, Was," and the sphinx went on to say: In such premises the CruX of the case is to forthwith determine what was. The aforesaid is quite dubious. Any con- trOVersialist would at once see that our case in it's present state is in defcnsiblG and we cannot so out like a loblolly boy and indiscriminately offer a. case which from deducibility would turn out enigmatograp phically. The case is too cOnfutative. Aside from that l have nothing to say" said Captain Hurley.

 Merchants are now preparing some, attractive offers and dollar bargains promise. to be bigger and better than ever before the shoppers for their ap- proval. As this will be the first dol lar day of the year those who intendI to go into the plan expect to show buyers they are in the idea to give something for nothing on that day | in order that more customers will be attracted to the stores during the sea son.

Spangled Banner as a work of music. The Star Spangled Banner is rather difficult to play, and as a song is hard to sing. I have made it a practice, however, to always play it in a slower tempo than the one in which it is written. This gives the effect of hymn and does full justice to the dig nity and beauty of the composition. Many Americans who have heard the anthem played in this way were at first rather slow to recognize it, but
 when they did they expressed their admiration of the rendition
 Two years ago Mime. Nero played
 at Woolsey Hall, Yale University, and created a furore of demonstrative approval. Recently she was the so-
