FEARS FOR THE FUTURE HAUNT HANK WO.VEN

TN RIVEN to despair by weeks of brooding over the unhappiness which a fortune teller had declared would come to her In the future, a young wife committed suicide a day or so ago leaving only a foolish and pathetic letter for her husband, saving that if B he were dead perhaps the ill fortune she feared might not touch

him.

She did not stop to quo-tlon whether the seer to whom she had gone with eager curiosity was really revealing to ter futu:e events. She did not stop to consider that the charlatan had been paid to tell her something and had to make a plausible story She wag only too ready to believe In 111 fortune to come, and brooded and wept over it till It became a specter that haunted her day and night. Nor Is that one wife the only woman who seek., to read the future through “spirits," or In “premonitlong’’ and "signs." for hundred* of women yearly expend many hardearned dollars upon these "readings." They ghiver and quake with dread and believe in "forebodings." and work themselveg Into such a frenzy over the future that all the Joy that might have i)een their? In the present is overlooked. And it Is essentially a feminine trait, this p:openslty to “cross bridges before they come to them,’’ and a trait that causes much unhappiness not only to the women themselves, but to tho-e around them In the face of actual privation, poverty, sorrow o hardship of any kind a woman will rally, will lift her head proudly and plunge Into work with a cheerfulness that marks her out as of Iner clay than the average man, yet with It all s:e is a iiessimlst when no actual trouble is near. Any woman, according to a certain widely known palm reader, will put aside as "foolish" a happy fortuna told her. She will be skeptical of it and It? value but put some trouble Into her future, draw for he. a mysterious picture of the loss of money or a lo\ed one. or some legal difflcul'fes, and she will believe every word of it, for that is the feminine nature. It is, however, a trait that we can all of us overcome if we will; if we can. and do believe that our i»ersonal efforts and characters alone can make or mar on fit'ire. if we determine tFat sufficient unto the da> is the evil thereof, at in ke the most of it. little joys, anti the least of i’s sor-

rows.

If we learn to smile and be happy and do our best on eten the darkest days, we will stoie it|i a courage that "111 enable us to face the futn e, whatever It hrir - but there will be to courage if "e mate of the future a specter that t aunts tt« alwayDon’t try to se- ahead don't temp’, fate by paGng money to charlatans to tell you what is coming.

How Uncle Sam Built the Panama (anal.

Those who fail to see Lyman H. Howe’s production at Meharry Hall under the auspices of the Woman’s League on May 22 of how Uncle Sam “made the dirt fly” at Panama will miss one of the greatest spectacles of the ages—scenes which at no other time or place have been or will again be enacted. It is now freely admitted by the highest authorities that Mr. Howe's reproduction is the only one that is absolutely perfect photographically, and that, at the same time, does justice to every important phase of the construction work; and this will be the only opportunity of seeing it as Mr. Howe will never present this series here again. When “Howe travelers” first gaze into the mighty rift in the earth’s crust and see at the the base the pigmy engines and the ant-like forms signaling and rushing to and fro; while they hear the clink of drills eating their way into | the rock; the shrill whistles of locomotives giving warnings of blasts; the rumble of dirt trains plying over tracks; the crash of a six ton boulder onto a flat car; the clanking of huge chains; the creaking of strange machinery; the cries of men and the l oom of blasts; they can, for the first jtime, form an adequate conception of , the immensity of a task that no words can ever convey to the mind. They can then realize the prodigious proportions of the work and obtain a ^ precise comprehension of the infinity of detail involved in the undertaking.
