Suddenly the .train struck a smooth place lA'the track, and slid along without a sound. Seizing his lantern, the brakeman ran tor the door. "Jump! for your lives," he shouted. "She's off the track!"

Ralph Carlisle Hamilton, of North Carolina, has confessed that he W a girl. She has been posing.as a he for five years. He admits now that he is she. He had courted another she and she (the other she) was ready to marry he when he (that is, she) backed out, and She' (the other she) IB enraged at she (or rather he) because he, that is she, deceived her, thl^! other she, that is, not him who is now she. :§§2$l -(Apf "Do you have much trouble with your automobile?"

If things do not go Just as we would wish the weather is blamed. Our conversation is full of weather talk and Its varlv atlons depress or elate us. Our business is largely governed by not so' much what conditions are, but by what we are afraid they will be And yet the floods and droughts and cyclones and heat and cold come and go and the business of the country goes on, ever Increasing and im proving. Of qourse there are Instances here and there where great losses occur and business interests are seriously disturbed by unusual weather conditions, but It Is our fears that produce the most serious disturbance^ and It is a good thing to note that these fears are seldom realized ands nearly always minimized by actual facts. It is well to remember that nature always rights itself, and panics, and depressions are the works of man and not from the natural tendency things.

Watertown woman went to the Idle Hour the other night with some friends, but when they were seated she was separated from her friends by a man and woman who peemed to pay no attention to each otheri£$rf|||' The«/woman figured out that. If* the two people would sit over a seat she could sit with her friends. Bracing up her nerve, she said sweetly to the man, "Beg pardon, are you alone?" The man stared at the curtain as if he were drawing a salary for it. "I beg pardon," the woman said a lit tle louder, "are you alone?" "Get wise," whispered the man hoarsely:, thru the extreme corner of his mouth, "this Is my wife." .-ft* DEPRESSING TALK. The merchant who geto into the habit of talking "hard times" whenever a period of business relaxation or depression asserts Itself,placeB a stumb-,^ ling block in the way of his own success, says the Hardware Reporter." Times are always hard with the chronic grumbler, for no man was ever known to be successful who showed a disposition to brood over a reverse. It is the natural tendency of human beings to shun the disagreeable and unpleasant and to seek the hopeful and cheerful. Pessimistic talk exer cises a depressing influence upon those who are obliged to give ear to it, and the business man who persists in bewailing hiB fate In the presence of his customers, will never arouse in them a spirit of sympathy which will induce buying. Rather will he constrain them to tighten their purse strings and curtail their purchases. No merchant would think of buying, with any degree of liberality, from a house whose representatives habi tually find fault with business, and it is axiomatic that the same feeling would exist between the merchant's own customers and himself. The gospel of good cheer may sometimes be carried too far, but there la much greater danger of unfavorable results arising from discourse of a sinister, character.
