IL Is More General Than Peopls I'm.

Probably self-distrust Is enc of the
readiest causes of failure, says the
Spectator. A man who. however much
he conceals the fact from observation,
feels in his heart of hearts that he is
not capable of doing the work that he
has undertaken, Is almost sure to fail.

ally has Joined to it strong chain of
Indifference. But when a man does
not think he will succeed, and alS1 IL
doubtful whether 1t is worth while to
succeed, or rather whether it Is not
matter OF indifference whether he wins
or loses, failure Is almost certain. This
stultifying Indifference to failure is
much more widely spread than people
generally imagine. Because failure
seems to the average man so horrible,
producing. as 1t must, humiliations and
miseries. remorseful feelings and re-
grets Of every kind, the average man
cannot imagine any human being IL
different to it. Yet. as a matter of fact,
there are men whose hearts become no
indurated that they do not mind either
failure or its consequences. They
would endure anything rather than
rouse themselves to the painful effort
OF resisting the march Of what they
call fate. Whey will float with the
stream or t. de, but. come wha; may,
they will not row stroke against

AL parts one sees tall chimneys. They
are not picturesque, but they mean

emperor Is really a remarkable man.
Practically not only the foreign affairs
OF the empire are in his hands, but 80

keep the empire together. He Is no

"Ended His Days as an Actor Ought to
One of the dramatic little stories Of
Mr.. f. Frankfort Moore, the London
novelist, turns on the actual stabbing
OF Juliet by jealous Romeo during a
performance in German court thea

ic incidents have not infrequently oc-

theater last season we had i'm what
seemed the lively comedy of an actor
something leading up to his sudden
death. when the unfortunate Castel-
mary, as Sir Tristan Mickleford, was
pursued by crowd of Richmond Fair
folk in Martha" There are at least
dozen well-attested suicides that have
been consummated by luckless actors
and singers under cover of the tragic
movement of their part. A more recent
example occurred at the theater in
Arad, Hungary. when a well-known
leading member of the company, Kol-

fell dead, amid an immense demonstra-
ton of applause from a crowded house

man OF excellent family and bright in
professional prospects, disappointed in
love, morbid. and. as he grimly wrote
to a friend, determined to end his
days as an actor ought to do--to the
satisfaction of his public"

In the old German town Hanover
there is buried a countess who denied
the existence of God and ridiculed the
idea Of the resurrection. In her con-
tempt for Christianity she ordered that
after her death her grave should be
built of solid masonry and covered
with enormous stones, bound tightly
together by iron clamps. On this tomb
she ordered to be engraved her defiant
challenge that it could never be dis
turbed by God or man. One day the
seed vessels of trees above the count
ess' grave lodged in small crevice in
the tomb, where it soon sprouted, and.
extending its delicate roots under the
massive stones, quietly and slowly
raised them from their place, the sod
beneath it furnishing nourishment for
the majestic tree that has accomplished
what the woman defied God to do.

South American lovers have a pretty
custom. 1t is well known that when
the petals of the great laurel mag
nolia are touched, however lightly,
the result is brown spot, which de-
velops in few hours. The fact is
taken advantage of by the lover, who
pulls a magnolia flower. and on one OF
its pure, white petals writes a motto or
message with a hard, sharp pointed
pencil. Then he sends the flower. the
young lady puts it in vase of water,
and in three or four hours the message
written on the leaf becomes quite Wis.,
ible and remains so.

For Getting Black Eye and
Beating.

The damage case of Emil Heinreit vs..
Peter Felchiem was heard before Squire
Habertield yesterday. Both are resi-
dents of Fulton and the case had been
pending for couple of weeks. Heinreit
sued Felcheim for 500 for assault and
battery. 1t was shown by the evidence
that Heinreit, who works for Felcheim,
had been charged by Felcheim with get
ting his wife drunk while he was away
from home. When Felcheim came
home his boy told him that Heinreit
had heen rushing the growler" and
during his absence that Heinreit and
Mrs. Felcheim had been drinking.
Felcheim then rushed out of the house,
found Heinreit and, besides giving him
black eye as an ornament gave him
a good healthy beating. Consequently
Heinreit brought suit for 500 damages.
Heinreit had Mrs. Fecheim summoned
as a witness, but she did not appear.
The justice reserved his decision.
