FIERCE TIMES.
So many troubles chase us. so many
problems face us. we're always In a
Slew; so many woes distressing, so
many cares aro pressing, we don't
know what to do. We sigh for days
departed, when we were happy heart
ed, and full of wholesome glee; when
griefs were not invented, and every
man, contented, sat 'neath his vine
and tree. Tut in those bygone seasons,
ere Huns, with tricks and treasons.
. kicked up a beastly row, we all were
ns unhappy, as sassy and as scrappy,
sis sore as we are now. The troubles
then parading were of another shad
iing, they bore another brand, butj
they were just .is galling, they kept
tlie people brawling throughout a
wearied land. Our words were just as
bitter, we didn't sing and twitter more
than we do today; we pawed around
and panted, and walked the floor and
ranted, and groaned our hearts away.
Pespite the thorns that scar us. des
pite the jolts that jar us. we still can
smile a few; it doesn't make things
better to be a chronic trotter and weep
a quart or two.

A BUSY-BODIES CAMPAIGN.
THOSE whose principal occupation in life is minding
ether people's business are preparing for a nation
yyidft, campaign to destroy the tobacco industry and make
it a cnir.e to smok- ch-w or snuff. The agitators and
busy-bodies who solved the problem of living without
work by means of the prohibition crusade, seek to con
tinue m their easy berths by assailing My Lady Nicotine.
The announcement .that the W. C. T. U. is raising a mil-
J-"L ""campaign assures tne undivided sup-
port of the professional fanatics and the agitation will
continue as long as there is easy money;
The use of tobacco is a comparatively harmless habit.
Tobacco injures no one when used in moderation, and
when used to excess, only injures the user. It does not
affect society adversely. It is rather: a flimsy straw
bogey to wage a nation-wide campaign against-but it
furnishes an excuse and provides a means to keep those
so inclined from having to work for a living

As the morning light filtered in at
the open window, I dropped Into a
troubled sleep in which 1 dreamed
that Charles wnu liontliiir .Tnhn to in
sensibility because ha had found him
kissing Elizabeth Moreland. I was con
scious once or twic or some one mov
ing about In the room but as Is often
the case I was bo afraid of being thor
oughly awakened that I did jiot by the
slightest movement Indicate that I was
not fully asleep.
At last my mother bent over to kiss
me. . .
"Dear child," she said, "I would not
lvave awakened you. uiit Charles
brought a teleirram nvpr from the of
fice quite a while ago. He signed tor
it and while I am almost sure it Is
from your husband in answer to the
one you sent last night, I still cling to
the old fashioned idea that n telegram
is only sent when it has to tell bad
news."
I opened the envelope and a little
slip of paper fluttered to the floor. I
read the enclosed mess'ee: "Rn-vd
your wire, dear girl. Alice and Eliza
beth going for you in motor. Come as
soon as you can to you loving hus
band." I reached over the edge of the bed
and Picked mi th lii of mumr on
which was typed the Information that

so utterly unconscious that he was
not doing absolutely the right thing!

"Perfectly sure," she answered
