ALWAYS WORTH THE LIVING
Despondency Only of the Moment, and
Life ! Bound to Resume Its
Cheerfulness.
Of course we have all heard the
query, "Is life worth living?"
Perhaps we've asked it of ourselves
many times, in moments of
discouragement, when all things
seemed to be working for the darker
side, and the sunlight of hope was
for the time being ob&cured by heavy
clouds.
Many are the answ tr?in fact, all
humanity from the very beginning
has been responding to the great
" i -L i- i:
challenge?and we are touay vne ming
exponents of flic prohlem.
If my life, your life and the life
of our neighbor has been "lived" and
holds the power to keep on doing so,
then yes, a thousand times, our lives
are worth living!
But if, for some or many reasons,
these lives have l>oen spent in days
of idleness, or worse, the answer is
to be found on the face of the undeniable
failures which are the outcome
of such waste.
People who are i i earnest about
whatever they are engaged in doing
6eldom have time to stop and ask
rueh questions; they are too busy
making their own. anil the lives of
those with "hum they arc associated j
really wortii whi! to withdraw from
life's great arniv of orkers thinkers
and "livers"?merely to stand by
th? roadside and say, "Is it ali worth
while?"
Some pcopl" remind us Af "insulated"
bodies; they are wholly unresponsive,
cut otf?as were?from
the influence of anything good, true
and beautiful, seemingly surrounded
by their own narrowness of mind
and smallness of soul.
And they arc the ones who ask,
"Is life worth living?"?Exchanage.
RATTLING ALL RIGHT!
Speedleigh?I've just bought at
automobile for $225. It's a rattling
car.
Needlcigh?Oh! I've heart it.
NOT MANY RATS FOUND.
The offer of the government of
Jamaica of Id for each detm rat delivered
at the pumping station in
Kingston, is not producing much
fruit. In three weeks only 80 rats
were delivered at the station, viz:
for the week ending 20th July, 15;
week ending July 27th, 30; week
ending August 3d, 35. About a
score more dead rodents were a!'-o
sent to the pumping station, hut afterwards
transferred to the government
bacteriologist.

COULD MO LONGER FIND FOOD
Birds That Nested on Strassburg Cathedral
Forced From Haunts to
Which They Were Accustomed.
At a meeting of the Linnean society
of London, Professor Poulton
presiding, a letter was read from
Herr Paul Seherdlin, as follows:
"For hundreds of years pigeons have
nested on the spire of Strasshurg cathedral.
They increased so much
that mapy attempts have heen made
to'extirpate them, but in vain. During
the last few years there has been
a sudden and startling diminution in
the number of these cathedral
pigeons. I am of opinion that this
manifest reduction is due to th
asphalting of the streets round ih
cathedral. Between the stone sets of
the pavement the pigeons were able
to pick up food in quantity, in consequence
of the asphaltin and 1:ily
watering and cleansin c! places
in Img lmmeuuit' ucigiiuuniwu . ??binls

I was born in Ireland and served my
apprenticeship in the Dyeing of all
grades of goods in Alexandria, Scot-1
land. I have been in the United States !
31 years, between the North and South,
and I have been doing noth rg but Dying
and Cleaning since Cleveland's ad-1
ministration, 28 years ago. I have been i
in Fort Mill for seven years. And,
i think of it, not even a single complaint I
ha- been heard or said about my wort. j
i I don't make my living like a m< squito

bucket of molasses, a bucket < f lar,

| DO YOU ENJOY EATING
Or Does Everything You Eat
LllbU cas 1 uu.
Experts declare that the reason
Etoraach disorders are ?0 common in
this country is due to hasty and
careless habits of eating. Stomach
troubles and run-down conditions also
usually go together.
John Lind, of Oneonta, N. Y., says:
"I have been troubled with a Lad
ctomach trouble for fifteen years, and
became so weak that I couM hard!/
! walk or do any work. My appetite
, was very poor, and it seemed impossible
to get any relief. Since taking
two bottles of Vinol I find that it has
alieadv made a remarkable improvement
in my health; my digestion is
: much stronger, and I have gained in
j weight"
Vinol makes weak Ftomachs strong
, because it strengthens and tones up
| the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves of the digestive organs. Vinol
