Darnley, P.©.1., April 17--(Special) --John J. Burns, a prominent mem- tion some time ago, reports that ho is still in splendid health. 'Yes,' says Mr. Burns, "my cure is eaiteks I have had no trouble since I used Dodd's Kidney Pills. They drove away the disease from which I suffered for eight years. "No, I'll never forget Dodd's Kid- ney Pills. The doctor could not help me. I got so bad I could scarcely walk, sit or sleep. I was about to give up entirely when an advertise- t led me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. Now I am in good health. Dodd's Kidney Pills saved my life." If any one doubts Mr. Burns' story he simply refers them to his brother Foresters. They all know how he suffered and that Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him. ATLANTIC WHALING.

The spectacle of the competitors in their attemps to swallow a bottle of soda water at once proved highly diverting, several suffering temporar- ily for their haste, although a ing in the end.

At regular distances of twenty yards from each #other ten oranges Placed on the ground for EACH COMPETING DAMSEL. These had all to be picked up agd brought back in the hands of the competitor to the finishing line. The difficulty of picking up an orange with several already in one's grasp must be experienced to be appre- ciated, and the frantic efforts of the young women to pick up more than they could hold prdyided ae end of amusement for the on In the result several of 'the girls dropped every one of their captured oranges before reaching the winning point, and only. two succeeded in carry ing home the ten circles of gold- en fru But 'what seemed to be the most popular competition of all was the necktie race.

The distance to be run was some 200 yards, and the competitors had all to start with their neckties undone. At the end of the first 100 yards were stationed the young woman who had undertaken to assist in the race. What each competitor had to do was to run as speedily as he could to the particular girl Was awaiting him, and knecl down before her while she neatly and properly tied his neck- tie. This done, he had only to get up and finish the race by covering the remaining 100 yards. ANOTHER NOVELTY was a basket and ball race for ladies. Each girl participating in it started out with a basket containing a dozen balis and attended by a mere male. As she ran she had to throw out of her basket all these balls, one after another, while her knight in atten- dance was to pick them up as nim- bly as he could and return them to her. The first girl to succeed in getting to the winnig post with the twelve balls restored to her basket was to be the winner. In their scrambles after the balls some of the men cut such ludicrous figures that the spec- tators roared with laughter.

It is neither manly, helpful, or business-like, and no al ever resulted from the habit. Worrying can be overcome by exercis- ing the will-power. People of sensi- tive minds worry over some trivia and thoughtless remark, and dwell upon it till it is magnitied into a grievous and intentional insult. Past errors, and a gloomy anticipation of caleg ities to come are other forms of unwholesome habit. One 'of the best ways to deal with the many real causes of anxious thought is to be content to live just a day at the time. With that rich wisdom which Sydney Smith could command, he advised us to take short views of life. Each day is an entity in itself. It ts rounded off by the guif of sleep; it has its own hours which will never return; it stands separate with its own oppor- tanities and pleasures.
