It was merely the effect of a simple life spent largely In the fields, with plain diet, consisting of a few vegetables aud frail, little meat, and native beer aud wine for beverages. Nothing can be more obvious than that the very complexity nf our modern civilisation I shortening our lives. But nf all the evils that ftiflict na the worst and most destructive are hurry and worry. Hurry drives the body machine hryond its rapacity, while worry rocks It luwnrdly. Of the two worry Is proliahly the worse. This might Indeed be relied the age of worry. Because of the Intense nervous strain to which we are subjected we do vastly more worrying than did onr forbear.

Feeling waa high and against the friendless defendant. On the trial Liuco'n drew from the witnesses full statements of what they saw and knew. There was no effort to confuse, no attempt to place before the jury the fact other than they were. In the argument after calling attention to the fact that there was no diiect testimony, Lincoln reviewed the circumstances and, after conceding that this and that seemed to point to defendant's guilt closed by saying that he had reflected much on the case, and, while it seemed probable that defendant was guilty, he waa not sure and, locking the Jury straight in the face, said.
