October. 1906.
We have again had to face the
great truth that that is born

lost one of the best men that
ever took upon himself the

FACING TROUBLES.
large part of the troubles of
life are they are
created by ourselves, or donated
to us by others. If we are
our own sorrows, let us shut
down the factory; if others are
making them for us, let us re-
duce the friction of pain to a
minimum. If others are
inconsiderate or unjust to us, let
us, so far as possible, accept it
all for what it is worth, and feel
that no one can really hurt us
except ourselves; but let us ever
be made keen by this lesson, that
we never make others suffer in
the way in which we have been
given pain.
There are times when the hope
that was dearest to us turns to
ashes as our outstretched hand
almost touches it, the labor
of years is swept away in a mo-
when the friend upon
whom we would have counted as
on our own right arm, proves
disloyal; when our most honest
efforts, our supreme struggles,
meet defeat and, buffeted and
worn by th of failure, we
are ready to up in despair.
Here is our for cool-
courage, calmness. We
can then rise in the dignity of
self-poise and the fullness of our
strength and meet it all bravely.

Alarm But No FirE.
About o'clock Wednesday
evening some excitement was
caused by the alarm of fire. It
came from the home of Mr. J. C.
Tripp, west of the railroad. It
seems that a fire had been built
in one room of the residence, and
one of the ladies of the household
going into the adjoining room
found considerable smoke, and
thinking the house was on fire
gave the alarm. The smoke
came from the fire in the other
room and blown down the
site flue of the chimney.

I think most men who have been
educated at any large public
will readily call to mind
instances of boys who were always
winning yet have not done
anything worth mentioning in after
life. And I am confident that upon
investigating the early years of

remarkably successful career it
found that the. majority were
rather lazy than not before the en-

Double Moon.
The most wonderful of all the re-

moon which continually circles
around and around Jupiter, th

oddity was not known
after the great Lick telescope

first hint of the presence of this

one of the k observatory men re-
ported one of Jupiter's
lites appeared to be casting a double
shadow on the giant planet's
face. From that time forward for
some weeks a sharp lookout was
kept, and at last the observers were
rewarded in getting a glimpse of
the tiny dot of a moon
revolving around another moon,

Little Rock, Ark. Oct, 15.-r
Rev. Sam P. Jones, the well
known evangelist of
Ga., died early today of heart
failure in a sleeping car on the
Rock Island railroad near

ducting a revival at Oklahoma

his home in Georgia. He de-
sired to attend a family reunion
tomorrow, it being the fifty-
ninth anniversary of his birth.
Mrs. Jones and his daughters,
Mrs. Annie and Miss Julia
Jones, were with him when he
passed away.

berth in the sleeper about five
o'clock this morning and com-
plained of nausea. He drank a
glass of hot water and
afterward collapsed. Rev.
Walt Holcomb. who had been
associated with Mr. Jones for a
number of years, took the dying
man in his arms and in a few
minutes the evangelist breathed
his last. The body was em-
and was sent to Carters-
