Easy To Criticise.
"It is easy to sit in the sunshine
And talk to the man in the shade,"
It is easy to float in a well-trimmed boat,
And point out the places to wade.
But ouce we pass into the shadows
We miirmur and fret and frown,
Aud our length from the bank, we shout
for a plank.
And throw up our hands aud go down.
It is easy to sit in your carriage
Aud counsel the man on foot;
But get down and walk aud you'll
change your talk,
As you feel the peg in your boot.
It is easy to tell the toiler
How best he can carry his pack;
But no one can rate a burden's weight
Until it has beeu on his back.
The up-curled mouth of pleasure
Can preach of sorrow's worth;
But give it a sip, and a wryer lip
Was never made on earth.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
Origin of a Dispute.
A quarrel often begins with a
mere difference of opinion, apart
from all malice. Standing up for
our side unflinchingly, without any
giving in, will always provoke a little
stubborness in another. It is very
hard to maintain such stoutness of
judgment withoutshowing bad blood.
If we feel right, aod cannot yield
conscientiously, we should sedulously
avoid prolonging a dispute. When
we feel driven to a dispute, we should
prevent heat of temper settling into
a grudge. In differences of opinion
in mutual work, we would cultivate
a spirit of conciliation. When we
cannot conscientiously join with an
other in propositions of work or com
panionship, we should separate from
him in respect aud good will. We
should be glad afterwards specially
to show such an one respect and
good will. Above all, we should not,
by our severity, discourage any one
who proposes to change his behavior
for the better. Did you ever stop to
think how foolish two-thirds of the
quarrels in life are? Some minor,
unintended siight separating friends
to make them bitter enemies.
Push, Keep at It.
Push is a talent as much as skill
in any art. You can commence push
ing by imagining yourself as a push
er. Keep yourself before yourself in
3rour mind as a pusher, and such a
frame of mind will at length make
you push. There is a power in a
continual imagination of yourself in
any certain character. Imagine that
the best belongs to you, and you will
find the best comiug to you. Im
agine the worst, see yourself in the
poor-house, and the poor house will
come to you. Success, like charity,
must commence at home in the mind.
If now you are compelled to live at
home in a poor room and on poor
fare, do so only under protest. Keep
your mind on the better room and
the better fare. Dou't say, ''I s'pose
I must always take up with this."
Say, instead, "I am going to have
better things than these." You are
creating for yourself strength, not
weakness. You are then ever
strengthening the inexplicable men
tal attraction which will bring these
things to you.
Learn to Laugh.
A good laugh is better than medi
cine. Learn how to tell a story. A
well told story is as welcome as a
sunbeam in a sick room. Learn to
keep your troubles to yourself. The
world is too busy to care for your
ills and sorrows. Learn to stop
croaking. If you cannot see aoy
good in the world, keep the bad to
vourself. Learn to bide your pains
and aches under a pleasant smile.
No one cares to hear whether you
have the earache, headache or rheu
matism. Don t cry. tears uo wea
enough in novels, but they are out of
nlaee in real life. Learn to meet
your friends with a smile. The good
humored man or woman is always
welcome, but the dyspeptic or b3'po-
cbondrioc is not wanted anywhere,
and may be a nuisance as well.
Borrowing Trouble.
Borrowing is poor business at the
best, but of all the unsatisfactory
"no return for your pains" occupa
tions the very worst in the world is
borrowing trouble. To begin with,
it is based on fancy, crankiness, va-
porings, undue nervousness or the
mental or moral 'idiosyncrasies that
should have been trained out of the
individual long before the years of
childhood were passed. There are
few people in the world more de
pressing and disheartening than
those who are always seeing some
shadow of comiug evil. The world
is somber enough even at the best,
and it is scarcely worth while to go
out seeking for shadows or to con
jure up purely imaginary oues.
The Best Remedy for Rheumatism.
yCICK IfELIEF FROM PAIN-
All who use Chamberlain's Tain Balm
for rheumatism are delighted with the
quick relief from pain which it affords.
When speaking of this Mr. 1). N. Sinks,
of Trov, Ohio, says: "Some time ago I
had a severe attack of rheumatism in
my arm and shoulder. I tried numer
ous remedies but got no relief until I
was recommended by Messrs. Geo. F.
Parsous & Co., drugcrists of this place,
to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. They
recommended it so highly that I bought
a bottle. I was soon relieved of all pain.
I have since recommended this liniineut
to many of my friends, who agree with
ii.ar it is the best remedy for muscu
lo- rhanmaiKm in the market." For

AKP TALKS APRIL.
The Grandchildren Had Lots or Fun Out
or the Old Man.
This month did not begin right.
April means to open, but it did not
open. It was an April fool. Noth
ing shows in my garden but the peas
and onions. The flowers make no
progress. There is no sweet south
wind to, breathe upon them no
sunshine. On Monday the grand
children imposed upon me with
their Hindoo pranks. They gave me
a cup of chocolate with whipped
cream on top, and it was nothing but
soapsuds. I pretended to be fooled,
but I wasent; I paid them back in
various ways. The Hindoos started
this childish custom away back in
ages, and it still pleases the children.
And now Easter has come and gone,
and that is another name that oame
down from the Pagans. Ostera was
their goddess of spring and it was
corrupted into Estera. How these
old heathen names do stick to us.
The names of the days of the week
and of the months came from them.
So did the planets and the constella
tions. Even the prophets and Job
had to take them from the Egyp
tians. But the Scotch people don't
call it Easter. They say Paschaday
or passover day. They won't pattern
after anybody but John Knox, and
he said Pascha. But there is a rea
son for calling it Easter, for the com
ing of spring the opening of the
earth and the flowers is emblematical
of the resurrection the opening of
the Savior's tomb and His return to
bless and comfort His people. This
da corresponds closely with the
Jewish passover, and so they observe
it.
Now I want the young people to
know that Lent is another word that
means spring. It is preceded by
that foolish festival called mardi
ras or fat beef and continues
forty days in remembrance of the
Saviour's long fast, and it ends with
Easter, and the communion and
other rejoicings. As the old-time
almanacs would say, "about this
time look for Easter hats and flowers
and finery." Christmas is another
festival day that is common to all
Christian nations. There are many
other days dedicated to the saints.
but in course of time it was found
that there were not enough days in
the year to go round, and so the pope
stopped the sainting of so many and
had one day set apart as All Saints
day. The next day after that is All
Souls day, on which mass is said by
the Roman Catholics for the souls of
the dead who are in purgatory. It
seems that about 900 years ago a pil
grim from the holy land found a her
mit in Sicily who told him of an
openiog between the cliffs of the
mountains near bT that communi
cated with hades where Pluto lived
and that he could see the sulphurous
smoke rising and hear the groans of
the lost souls who were being tor
mented in hell and he had known
some of them to escape through the
prayers of the priests and this made
the devils very mad and he could
hear them cursing the priests with
awful imprecations. The pilgrim
told all this to the abbots and monks,
and they had a day set apart to pray
these lost souls out of hell or hades
or purgatory or whatever it is.
Besides these international days
there are national days in every
country. Here we have the Fourth
of July and Washington's birthday
and Decoration Day and some others.
Germany celebrates the birth of Cal
vin and Luther and the kaiser. Scot
land that of Sir William Wallace and
Bruce and John Knox. In old Eng
land they celebrate the queen's birth
day, Magna Charter day and Water
loo day and May day. May day is
happiest of all and has been long re
membered in verse and song and in
dancing around the May pole. Ten
nyson wrote a sad, sweet poem called
the "May Queen." Mexico celebrates
all the Roman Catholic days and has
one other that the rabble call Judas
Iscariot's day. It is the next day
after Easter. On the beautiful trees
in the piazza or park they suspend
pasteboard images of Judas Iscariot
images as large as life, with little
holes bored in them from head to
foot and in every hole is lastened a
cannon crack. At a given signal the
fuse in every cracker is lighted and
all of them explode nearly at the
same time and such a terrible pop
ping was never heard outside of
battlefield, and poor old Judas is torn
and rent into a thousand pieces
This is just a sign of what they
would do to him if they had him there
alive, but I reckon it is more for
frolic than anything, for they shout
and laugh and dance the hornpipe
and make all the racket tbey can
Ben Franklin said that man was a
bundle of habits. He might have
added "and superstitions," for most
all people have some belief in super
natural things. Two hundred years
ago almost everybody believed in
witches. Shakespeare wrote about
them in "Macbeth" and Burns
"Tam O'Shanter." The Puritans
drowned many innocent women from
mere suspicion of being witches,
The conceited, self-righteous rascals
never accused a man of being a wiz
ard. It is the women who have suf
fered in all ages. When I was a boy
the young people were more afraid of
ghosts than they are now.
Ghosts are very scarce in these
days. I haven t seen one in a long
time. In my early youth I was the
mill boy and I remember that one
evening in the early twilight as I
was astride my horse and grist and
going slowly home, I neared the coun
try graveyard of Fairview church
and saw, or thought I saw, a ghost
ahead of me in the big road. It had
arms and legs, but had no bead. It
was white and going slowly from
me. I checked my horse and won
dered. I started on again and got
a little closer. Still the form was
headless. Broad shoulders and arms
akimbo. Nearer and nearer I drew
to it, but it made no sign. My horse
pricked up his ears as if alarmed.
The road forked not far ahead, and
I had resolved that if the ghost took
one road I would take the other.
when suddenly an old man stopped
to cough and took the sack from the
shoulders and laid it upon the
ground. I knew him instantly old
Uncle Tom Wilson, the hunchback
going home from the mill with his
grist across his shoulders and his
head bent forward so that I could
not see it in the dusky twilight.
Now, if both of us had reached the
forks of the road and had separated
I should always have believed I saw
a ghost.
That old mill road and church and
graveyard made lasting impressions
upon me; and so did the mill and
the pond and the spring-board and
big wheel and the soothing sounds
of the water falling over the dam.
We had various adventures with the
country schoolboys on the way, for
they dident like the town boys and
they don't yet. I remember that it
was on April fool day that I saw in
the road just beyond the schoolhouse
a package done up in brown paper,
and as I bad met a man in a buggy a
little while before, I supposed he
had dropped it. I stopped my horse
and got down. Picking up the pack
age. I untied the string and took off
the wrapper and found another
wrapper and another string and then
another and another, and at last two
big black bugs, whose odor was fa
miliar. That kind of bugs that ad
vance back ward, and you can't tell
whether-you meet 'em or overtake
em. Just theu a score of boys
jumped from the bushes and yelled
and screamed "April Fool!" I was so
mad I could hardly mount my horse
again, but I never spoke a word. I
took it out in thinking and hating.
West Point hazing wasent any worse
than that April fool was to me. But
boys will be boys. Bill Arp.
Judges May Wear Shirt Waists.
Indianapolis Ind., April 16. At a
meeting of the Executive Commit
tee of the Indianapolis Bar Associa
tion to day, a resolution was intro
duced and adopted, after some dis
cussion, asking the Judges of the
Superior and Circuit Courts to wear
shirt waists after May 1st. The rea
son assigned for this action is that
the trial of cases during the heated
term is attended with great incon
venience because of the heat and
that, if the Judges would consent to
wear shirt waists, the attorneys
would generally conform to the cus
tom and there would be no necessity
for lawyers pulling off their coats
and collars as is so frequently the
case when trying causes in the hot
months.
Judge Allen said to-day that it
was probable that the Judges would
conform to the resolution, and, if so,
an effort would be made to have all
the Judges wear the same colors
when on the bench.

Caaght a Dreadful Cold.
Marion Kooke, manager for T. M
Thompson, a large importer of fine mil-.
inery at 1658 Milwaukee Avenue, Chic
ago, says: "During the late severe
weather I caught a dreadful cold which
kept me awake at night and made me
unfit to attend my work during the day.
One of my milliners was taking Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy for a severe
cold at that time, which seemed to re
lieve her so quickly that I bought soma
for myself. It acted like magic and I
began to improve at once. I am now
entirely well and feel very pleased to
acknowledge its merits." For sale by

Financial and Commercial.
Special Correspondence.
New Yokk, April 10, 1901
General business coutioues active
outside of the textile trades, and
even in that department there are
evidences of greater price stability
and growing hopefulness. Increased
production does not keep pace with
the increased consumption of iron
and steel, and other industries show
well sustained activity. Foreign
trade is of good volume, but exports
of the principal commodities during
March increased very slightly over
those for the corresponding period
last year, as gains in breadstuffs,
provisions and mineral oils were off
set by smaller exports and lower
price, of cotton. The most favora
ble April crop report in ten years
has been issued by the Federal De
partment of Agriculture this week;
but its bearish influence upon prices
has been modified by larger exports
and fears of subsequent injury to
the crop by the Hessian fly. Busi
ness failures during the past week,
according to R. G. Dun & Co., num
bered 203 in the United States and
24 in Canada, against 193 in this
country and 41 in Canada during the
corresponding week last year.
Continued liberal receipts of cot
ton and unsatisfactory demand for
the raw staple and its manufactures
account for a decline of 1 of a cent in
prices since the Easter holidays.
Domestic mill takings are light, and
while there is a steady, moderate
export movement, demand is not
satisfactory. The decrease in ship
ments together with the fall in prices
caused a decline of $7,000,000 in the
value of the country's foreign trade
in cotton during March. There has
been some increase in the demand
for gray cottons of the print cloth
yarn quality for conversion purpo
ses; but the general home and for
eign demand for staple goods has
shown no appreciable improvement.
The fact that stocks in some lines in
which trade is very slow do not ac
cumulate indicates that production
is being curtailed to a greater ex
tent than it was last month. Prices i
show little change, but in occasional
instances the market is still in buy
ers' favor. The wool trade has been
much less active, partly as a se
quence of the large business done
last month, when prices were tend
ing downward.
Corn prices have recovered I to 1
cent per bushel from the recent de
cline owing to light receipts, the
poor grading of Chicago arrivals
and manipulation by speculators.
Export demand for corn has been
comparatively light. Chicago pripes
of hog products have generally de
clined. Quotations for pork are 85
cents per barrel, and for lard 10
cents per 100 poundslower than they
were a week ago. There has been a
fair domestic demand for provisions,
and exports about equal the ship
ments for the corresponding week
last j'ear; but the outward move
ment for the week has been the
smallest noted for nearly two months
past.

Omaha, Neb., April 16. Miss Jes
sie Robinson went into Sam Adler's
pawn shop to-day and startled the
proprietor with this request: "Will
you loan me $25 on my legs?"' Then
she quickly explained that they were
cork legs.
"Madam, have you your legs with
you?" he asked, and she assured him
that she was standing on them at
that moment.
At Adler's request the woman lift
ed her skirt three or four inches, dis
playing a well-rounded cork ankle.
She explained that her artificial legs
extended above her knees, and offer
ed to take them right off aud hand
them over the counter.
"For heaven's sake don't do that,
go home and I will call for them,"
replied Adler.
The young woman left and half an
hour later Adler received a telephone
message that the legs were waiting
for him. He immediately called for
them and made the loan. As he
started away with them the woman
called to him:
"I am expectiug some money in a
week or two and then I'll seud around
and get my legs."
The woman's own legs were cut off
in a railroad wreck at Greenwood,

An Honest
Tired Feeling
There is an " honest tired feel
ing," caused by necessary toil and
cured by natural rest.
But very different is " that tired,
feeling," from which so many com

classed as a disease.
That tired feeling takes you to
bed tired and wakes you up tired.
You have no appetite, have bil
