They may not be dignified, bnt dignity Is often only a smug front with a large section of nothing behind it. Real dignity is all right, but there Is a sort of near dignity that is a blood brother of pomposity and a first cousin of hypocrisy. The user of slang may not hare any of this mock dignity or any of the real variety either, bnt you can bank on one thing he is what be seems; he does sot pose for something he Is not There are people who talk like a dictionary and who make a pussy footed search through tbelr vocabulary for a nice selection of words, but somehow you do not wholly tjrust these people and feel that they are not as cultured and profound as they sound. On the other hand there are folks that slam their words around regardless, banding out pat phrases from the vernacular, who Impress you as regular human beings with red blood in thefr veins. One of the latest pieces of slang"! should worry and get a wrinkle" has no pomposity about It and may even be set down by seveTe folks as flippant. Yet It exactly hits a sore spot in our national life and in human nature generally. Worry pays less on the Investment of nerve force that is put into it than any other form of human delinquency. It is a killer of happiness and a destroyer of beauty. It not only sours our own dispositions, but is unpleasant to those about us. Moreover. It does no earthly good. The chronic worrier usually has nothing to be disturbed about except trifles, and most of these are anticipated and never really come to pass. They recall the well known motto: "I am an old man and have had many troubles, but most of them never nappenea. ' Women are generally the worst offenders in the worry line, although 'some men can do their good and ample share. A woman writer recently described the wife who worries over trifles as the worst wife In the world. She is guilty of the chief sin Ingratitude. Worry not only creates wrinkles, irritation and gloom, but positive ill health. There are people who have literally worried themselves into the grave. They have also made others wish for the grave. Conviction Born of Experience. The man who has used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and watched and felt and realized its remarkable curative properties will tell you that it has no superior for coughs and colds. The remarkable success of this preparation aided by the personal recommendations of people who have been cured by it has made it one of the most popular medicines in use. Try it when you have a cough or cold and realize for yourself what a first class cough medicine will accomplish. For sale by all dealers. Gray Haira In Wall Street. . "It seemed to ma down In New York the other day," remarked a Clevelander who had just returned from the metropolis, "that one might almost recognize Wail street and the financial region by the number of gray haired young men you see. I had occasion to be In several offices on Wall street the other day, and I honestly believe more than halt of the young men I saw had gray hair. I noticed the same thing along the street It may have been just a coincidence, but 1 couldn't help wondering if they would have been gray just as soon If they had been at some other game for the last few years."

North 10th Street Roadway. The Board of Public Works of Richmond has refused.to repair the roadway leading into the North Tenth Street bridge from the north and prefers to wait pending an attempt to force the contractor to make the repairs without cost to the city. In the meantime all traffic to Spring Grove and the Reid Memorial Hospital has been blocked. This action on the part otf the board cannot be condemned in too strong terms and is as dangerous as it is assinine. Mr. Kennepohl, president of the board, admits that the only reason the city does not make repairs to the street is because the board does not want to make the city liable for the cost of the same which might reach the stupendous sum of one hundred dollars. While the board is practicing false economy there is no access to the Hospital from the city and in case it becomes necessary to take flood victims from neighboring towns to the institution, circuitous and difficult routes would have to be taken. If the Board of Public Works does not take immediate action toward making repairs to this roadway the citizens of Richmond should compel the impeachment of the Mayor and Board of Public Works all in one fell swoop. This is no time for horse play and peanut policies. We suggest that a number of public spirited citizens of Richmond get two or three teams and haul enough gravel to the place so that it will be possible to get back and forth from the hospital in time of need. If the Board is composed of the right kind of men it will order the roadway repaired before noon tomorrow ; if not let the citizens take the situation in hand.

SELECTING A JURY. Methods of the Prosecution In a Great Criminal Case. In bis book "Courts, Criminals and the Camorra" Arthur Train, once an assistant district attorney in New York, tells how juries are drawn for a great criminal trial. For a month before a trial, says Mr. Train, every member of the jury panel has been subjected to an unseen inquisitorial process. The district attorney knows a good deal about every prospective juror and perchance has difficulty in restraining a smile when he meets with deliberate equivocation in answer to an important question as to personal history: "Are you acquainted with the accused or his family?" mildly inquires the assistant prosecutor. "No, not at all," the talesman may blandly reply. The answer perhaps Is literally true, and yet the prosecutor may be pardoned for murmuring "Uar!" to himself as he sees that his memorandum concerning the juror's qualifications states that he belongs to the same "lodge" with the prisoner's uncle by marriage and carries an open account on his books with the defendant's father. "I think we will excuse Mr. Ananias," politely remarks the prosecutor. Then in an undertone he turns to Ms chief and mutters: "The old rascal! He would have knifed us into a thousand pieces if we'd given him the chance!" And all this time the disgruntled Mr. Ananias is wondering why, if he didn't "know the defendant or his family," be was not accepted as a juror. QUEER SPORT IN CHINA. Dropping a Pheasant With a Twenty four Pound Gun. Foreign sportsmen in China always observe with curious interest the maneuvers of native hunters. An English sportsman tells of an incident he witnessed at the well known Shaba, or lower barrier, of Nadoo creek, in north China. A native shooter had his gingal with him a most uncanny looking weapon. That there might be no question as to its length, It was placed upright alongside the Briton. It exceeded his height by two feet two inches, making the piece of ordnance over eight feet in length. Englishmen sometimes complain of the weight of their own guns six and a half to seven and a half pounds. So It Is astonishing to behold a Chinese hunter carrying a twenty-four pound gun all day long. This particular native was accompanied by a small, odd looking animal, which the foreigner was assured was a dog. Observation of the hunter and dog at work made a deep impression upon the stranger. A hen pheasant happened to drop Into a furrowed field at feeding time. The native took her bearings, crept up as closely as he safely could, put down his gun on a bit of higher ground, and kept It trained on the bird. Meantime the dog lay down across the barrel of the gun, thus serving as a screen for his master. When the proper moment had arrived, the man fired, the bird was killed upon the ground, and the dog remained on the barrel until his master took up the gun to reload. Youth's Companion.

RIDING THE SURF.

Rietoue Sport In the Breakers That Lash the Coast of Hawaii. "One of the novel pleasures in which most travelers indulge while In Honolulu is surf riding at Waikiki, near Diamond bead," writes John Burroughs in the Century. "The sea, with a floor of lava and coral. Is here shallow for a long distance out. and the surf comes in at intervals like a line of steeds cantering over a plain. We went out In our bathing suits In a long, heavy dugout, with a native oarsman in eaeh end. "When several hundred yards from shore we saw on looking eeaward the Jong, shining billows coming, whereupon our oarsmen beaded the canoe toward shore and plied their paddles with the utmost vigor, uttering simultaneously a curious, excited cry. In a moment the breaker caught us and, in some way holding us on its crest, shot us toward the shore like an arrow. "The sensation is novel and thrilling. The foam files; the waters Jeap about you. You are coasting on the sea, and yon shout with delight and pray for the sensation to continue. But it Is quickly over. The hurrying breaker slips from under you and leaves yen in the trough, while It goes foaming on the shore. Then you turn a bo tit and row out from shore again and wait for another chance to be shot toward the land on the foaming crest of a great Pacific wave"

LITERARY SOCIETY MEETS FRIDAY The Hiawatha Literary society will meet Friday afternoon with Mrs. Darland at her home, 3S North Nineteenth street. The members are invited to attend. Poetry Defined. George P. Morris, the author of "Woodman, Spare That Tree." was a general of the New York militia and a favorite with all who knew him. Mrs. Sherwood in her reminiscences tells how another poet associated the general with a definition of poetry. Once Fits-Greene Halleck. the author of "Marco Bozzarls," called upon her in New York in his old age, and she asked him to define for her what was poetry and what was prose. He replied: "When General Morris commands his brigade and says. 'Soldiers, draw your swords!" he talks prose. When he says 'Soldiers, draw your willing swords r he talks poetry."

EDITORIAL VIEWS.

(Scribner's Magazine.) To ' outline briefly the peculiar methods of the Japanese artist; he uses neither oils, canvas, card board, nor Whatman paper, but employs, instead, painting silk or absorbent paper, with ink applied with a wellwatered brush, with or without other colors. There is a fixed sequence In the strokes of his painted objects and an established order In which these objects are introduced into the composition. The artist rarely outlines; he prefers to paint without defining boundaries; this charming manner is known as bokketsu. He paints upon the matting floor seated on his heels; he makes no tentative strokes he knows in advance what is needed and paints from a well-stored and trained memory; he never retouches a stroke once made can neither be recalled nor concealed; he paints with the greatest freedom of the arm, with the brush held perpendicularly, and with a stroke vigor "like the movements of a dragon," and he invests each stroke with a sentiment corresponding to the very nature of the thing painted. Nor must he hesitate or delay in the act, else the psychological moment would be gone. He never sketches casts or living models, and Buddhist influence has always prohibited the nude of ex ecuting the lines thereof. In sketching from nature he interprets it not photographically, but estetically and omits unessential details. He paints no shadows nor conceals in chiarooscuro anything he paints. Finally, he seeks for repose or freedom from all care as the ideal condition under which to pursue his art. Nor can it be insisted upon too strongly that the chief charm of ' a Japanese painting lies in the inspired strength and character of the brushstroke, which conveys a deep if unsyllabled sentiment, not only corresponding with the emotions of the artist when producing the work, but also enabling us to see with his eyes and feel with his soul. Through the magic of such stroke is reproduced the vary nature of the thing represented. THE BIRTH OF AN IDEA. (Collier's Weekly.) Six or eieht years ago the business men of Henderson, Ky., the metropolis of a large but lagging agricultural district, organized a commercial club and set out to make their town a young Pittsburgh. They proclaimed Henderson's advantages on billboards and sent their cleverest talkers to interview capitalists in the large cities. But months and years slipped by, and scarcely any new factories were built. It took these men a long time to realize that they were wasting much precious time in misdirected effort. Rnt nt last came an inspiration. The progressive members of the club met the other day and resolved themselves into a crop improvement association, opened the membership books to everybody that would pay the annual dues of $1, and hired a farm expert by the year. The idea, became popular with the farmers, who will control the policies of the organization. The Chicago Board of Trade became interested in the experiment and agreed to contribute $2,000 to help pay the first two year's expenses; and the Department of Agriculture will pay $50 a month of the expert's salary. The trained agriculturist will make laboratory tests of soils and dairy products, conduct practical demonstrations on farms and give free advice to all who ask for it in fact, do anything he sees fit for the promotion of better farming. The idea is a splendid one. ' It is based on the sound, fundamental truth that the soil is the source of new wealth Most commercial clubs spend their energy und money trying to get factories away from other cities. WILD ASSES IN THE CORN. (Dallas Times-Herald.) Senator Tillman's experience is that of nearly other Democratic senator or representative. Every scheme known to politics is being tried by the differ ent aspirants for office. Members of Congress have no time to devote to the nation's business while they are listening to the wails of delegations of progressive Democrats who fear that a "standpat" Democrat might secure a job as doorkeeper for the useless documents committee and thereby commit the Wilson administration to a reactionary policy. Some of our "loyal" Wilson men are spending their money to travel many miles to Washington to again refer to the fact that they saved the day at Baltimore. The men who saved Wilson at Baltimore have grown from a force of a few hundred to several million. Of course, the President must be politically grateful. He must forget that he is the President of the whole people and go about paying political debts. Is this progressive Democracy? Are the people who are urging the chief executive to a course of political expediency progressive Democrats? President Wilson should mount the Democratic donkey and drive the wild asses out of the corn. Let him show that progressive Democracy has progressed far enough to eliminate the profession! office seeker. the Royal

RESULT OF FLOODS IN STATE

INDIANAPOLIS. March 27. With , the twilight came reassuring news i from most of the flood centers, espec-' ially where there was known to be or j had been reported loss of life. i The death toll at Peru, while still uncertain, will probably not exceed the estimate of sixty placed yesterday morning, and it may be less than that. The loss at Brookville, first placed at thirty-five to forty, will not reach more than twenty. The latest report from Logansport is that no lives were lost, though there were many narrow escapee. Several persons who had been missing mere later found to be unharmed. See Floating Bodies. Several bodies were seen floating by in the river and it was at first thought they were those of Logansoprt residents, but it is now believed they were victims of the Peru flood. Reports from Fort Wayne show that frix persons were flood victims, four being orphan children and two men who were engaged in rescue work. At Lafayette the Wabash was still rising and doing damage to bridges and levees. Lack of food caused the mo6t suffering. The situation at Terre Haute was not bettered. Relief committees were caring for those rendered destitute by the flood as well as the victims of the tornado and every effort was being made to find homes for those sheltered in school buildings and halls. Live Stock Lost. In the southern part of the state the greatest loss was to live stock which owners had been unable to have when the sudden rise came in the rivers. Many persons were rendered homeless but found shelter for the most part with fortunate neighbors. j The turning of the rain into snow and weather growing colder added greatly to the suffering of the home-1 less, however, and made the work of rescue more hazardous. In many places food supplies are scant and in any case it was difficult to reach those in need of them. Steam and traction traffic and telephone and telegraph conditions show no improvement. Where roads are not suffering from washouts or lost bridges the tracks are unsafe for the passage of trains. In many cases whole sections of telegraph and telephone lines have gone down. ' IMPROVING AT ANDERSON. Brief summaries of the situation in some of the cities and town follow: ANDERSON White river has fallen four feet since 2 a. m., and continues to recede. There have been no fatalities. ' The waterworks has resumed, but the lighting plant will not be in commission for two or three days. Snow anl sleet have fallen all day, weather colder. The property loss in Madison county is estimated at $3,000,000 of which $2,000,000 falls on Anderson. NOBLESVILLE White river has been falling three inches an hour since 9 a. m. Snowing and colder. Property loss in Hamilton county will be about $200,000. ELWOOD The waters are receding rapidly and many factories have resumed. There is much suffering from cold as the heating plant is yet unable to resume operations. Loss is $75,000. LOGANSPORT There has been no loss of life here, though 5,000 people are homeless, most of them on the South Side. Cadets from Culver did splendid work in rescuing stranded families. Supplies sent by order of the Governor have been arriving from Frankfort. Eel river is falling, but the Wabash continues to rise slowly. It is growning colder. There is as yet no estimate of property loss. LAFAYETTE Wabash river still rising. Main street levee is swept away and Main street bridge is doomed. Food is about exhausted in West Lafayette. All industrial plants are closed and 30,000 are out of work. STOMACH SICK? Mi-o-na Will Prevent Further Trouble. Here, as in other cities and towns, stomach troubles are ensnaring victime in a most insidious way.

LEWISTOWH DAM NOT CAUSE OF DISASTER

The latest information that is possible to obtain substantiates the rport that the Lewistown levee has nor broken. At 12:00 o'clock last night th-? levee started to break but a gang of men was immediately set to work oa it and the damage repaired. It is staled on reliable authority that if the dam holds through the day there will be no further danger. ; - During the on fusion of "the disaster it w as supposed that no cause except the breaking of the Lewistown dam could have caused the wide-spread damage to Dayton and the surrounding country. As soon as an investigation could be made it was found thai the probable cause of the flqed was due to an enormous rainfall in the territory above Dayton, combined with the tart that the two rivers meet In valley niar Dayton, carrying an overi flow. seeking safety in public buildings and with neighbors. BROWNSVILLE The C: H. A I. bridge is down and all schools are closed on anount of high water. WAVERLY Kvery house but one is under water, the river being the highest in its history. Afrs.
