bIoii of th Kleventh and Thirteenth

being circulated by soma of the resi
dents along tho linus that would be af
fected by the change, and as yet the
street railroad officials have not deter
mined whether or not to unite the Elev
enth nmr Thirteenth street lines.
Hy doing so they assert they could
make a six-minute service, whereas now
on the Montgomery street line it Is 10
minutes' or longer. It would be neces
sary to run Uia cars pnly In one di
rection, annd tho company is not sure
whether this would prove a hardship or
not. Oem i-.tl .Manager Fuller says the
company would not nave anything by
malting the loop, as It would take Just
us many cars and crews.
In cite the loop is determined upon,
the Montgomery street line, which now
runs over Kleventh street, will be ex
tended several blocks farther south,
will then turn and go west to Thir
teenth strset, and run back along Thir
teenth to Washington. It would prob
ably go down Washington as far as
Third, and over Third to Morrison,
where tho trip would commence again.
Snmo of th people living near Six

chtingo and say that they have had
streetcar service so long that they do
not sen why they should have to go
without It now.

The Duty of Cheerfulness.
From The Outlook.
We are coming to understand the
tremendous Influence of one mind over
another, and of the mind over the body
and to see what possibilities are open
ing up through a more Intelligent use
of the mind. This knowledge brines
with it an unescapable obligation. If It
is a man's duty to call in a physician
when he is 111, and use every endeavor
to make himself whole, it Is equally
his duty to reinvlgorate his body
through the use of his mind, and to be.
so far as possible, his own physician,
or at least to cooperate with his physi-
- .o. mm uwi vjtuy in it a man s duty
to cure himself, it Is also his duty
to reinvlgorate society and dissipate
the fogs of the world bv his serenity
cheerfulness and courage. Pessimism
Is a form of disease. It Is a miasm
which enervates, discourages, and low
ers the vitality, precisely as hope and
courage invigorate, relnsplro and evoke
gallantry of spirit. If the facts of lifo

optimism was on tap for the first time

This is, perhaps, the highest fo-m
of help a man can render to his fel

themselves. It Is far better to put
courage Into a despondgnt man than to
place money In his hand; to send a
man back into the fight because he
wants to go, through the rein vlgoratlon
of his spirit, than to take him home
and make him ' comfortable. It Is fir
better that a man should give his 'ife
heroically than that ho should u
pusillaulmously. In this time especial

to be solved, so many hard conditions
confront serious men and women, when

Acorn, Pa . July 27. Warm weather
and ralris during the last week hava
given impetus to the growing corn, and
the ctalks are shooting up so fast that
the no(so keeps tho whole neighborhood
awake at nights.
It is a well known fact that when
corn grows It gives off snapping re
ports, so that under ordinary conditions
ft person passing a cornfield may be
frightened by the noises. The faster
the corn grows the louder and more
iiecniBiit are tne explosions.
Abraham Sells who owns the largest
farm In this vicinity, has one field of
110 acres of meadow land devoted en
tirely to corn. This field Is located
close to the village, and when the corn
commenced to grow fast the neighbors
conuUadned of the noise.
Now that the stalks are making tholr
best growth and are pushing upward
at the rate of five inches a day, ths
racket Is almost deafening. Several sick
persons have been removed from the
neighborhood, and scores of other per
sons, who have not had any rest fr
almost a week, are haggard and ex
hausted Mr. Wells has been advised to place
mufflers on the stalks, but the Job Is
so great that tt Is a physical impossi
bility. He thinks th trouble- will snj
in a few days.
