Worry

times what worry does to folks: just
how it keeps man stirred up and
restless till he croaks. 1t tags along
behind him, always present night and
day: no matter how he tries he finds
1t hard to get away.
l used to worry once myself and so
l know the game, and whether l had
cause or not l worried just the same.
1t amt much consolation to be told
you see things wrong: folks say to just
| forget it, but the trail Is mighty long.
know what worry is, ] say. II had a
| spell for years; sometimes | felt like
| fighting and some other times like
tears. But now since ! have stopped
| this wasting time in useless care, 1 see
how foolish was it all. Old worry is a
snare. l had a lot of worry, some was
right and some was wrong; and it was
| mostly over things that never came
along. 1 finally got thinking that my
cares on this and that, and always in
a hurry, hindered me from getting
! fat. l got my thinking cap right out
and wore it so to speak, and finally
concluded worry sort of made me
weak. Twas then made my plan to
start each morning with a smile and
| let some other people run this world
| ly place a while. And now / let the
rain storms and the snow storms come
alike. on rainy days l ride around, in
| snow storms l just hike.
And somehow things go on the same.
! get my food and sleep; and find no
| greater troubles making me a cause to
| weep. l know that though I fail to
! get something that / desire. I'll live
| the SAME may have ice cream. and on
| cold nights fire. And so with faith
! like that 1 toll and also get my play,
/ and have better face for folks meet
| along the way. And since it's done so
| much for me l hope you'll try it too.
| Perhaps you'll then look big and
plump like other fat folks do.

Game receipts at the Bangor sta
ton during the hunting season which
closed at sunset Monday evening
were 1862 deer and 81 bears. The
| deer record for Bangor is nearly 400
behind last year at this time. but
considering the fact that the one deer
| law has been in effect this season the
kill is considered equal in proportion
or ahead of last year. The kill of
| bears is slightly larger than year
ago. On Monday, the last day of the
| open season, 1913 deer were brought
| to the Union Station at Bangor. this
| being the biggest day of the season.
| One year ago this morning Bath
| people awoke to find about seven
! inches of damp snow and sleet on the
| ground. The street cars did not run
| until night, scores of telephone lines
were out of commission and electric
| light and power were off for much OF
the day. About 500 poles were down
in Bath and vicinity and the damage
in this section was estimated and not
| far from 100000. There were many
cars stalled the night before be-
+ tween Bath and Brunswick and 1t
was well through the day before they
! could get home.-Bath Times. Nov
