FEAR In ANIMALs.--Back in pre-
historic times our ancestors probably
knew fear as constant feeling. They
fought to defend their lives and homes
from one another. With the begin
ming of agriculture and the domestica-
tion of animals, fighting ceased to be
the chief object of existence, gentler
feelings had a chance to grow, and
fear was not so common state of
mind. But, says Our Animal Friends,
we are not in the condition of savage
tribes. We do not live in fear our
selves, and we understand that the an
imals we have domesticated must be
treated with uniform kindness. The
horse is exceedingly nervous; while
cattle do not appear so nervous, any
dairyman will tell you that the utmost
gentleness is necessary in caring for
them. We can reason away most of
our fears; neither the wild nor the
domestic animals can do so much.
The one way to teach an animal to
conquer fear is to let him feel that he
NAV trust US. 1t is the true and only
way, for it leads to love-and "per-
feet love casteth out fear"

lAFAYETTE'S FAMOUS VISIT.

There Was Great Excitement Over Hi
Trip to the United States.
Jean Fraley Hallowell, who writes
in The Ladies Home Journal of "Wher
Lafayette Rode Into Philadelphia, u
says that lit is difficult to understand
at this late day what furore of ex'
citcment passed over this country wher
Lafayette arrived once more in Amer
lea. The visit is historic event to be
remembered while memory endures
During President Monroe's second ad
ministration the United States extended
its invitation to Lafayette. He arrived
at Staten Island Oh Aug. l5 Sunday
1924, accompanied by his son, George
Washington Lafayette, and also by hi!
son-in-law. A formal reception tool
place on the following day, the frs
fruits Of the most abundant harvest o;
welcome which Lafayette was to receive
during his year of travel through tht
United States.
Lafayette was 67 years old when he
visited America as the nations guest
and carried his years lightly. His heae
was shaped like that of Burns. He hat
high forehead, long, aquiline NOSE
and rather thin face. His hair wa!
sandy and quite plentiful His eye
were dark gray, restless and twinklingi
his eyebrows light in color, but heavily
marked. His mouth was firm, and hil
lips smiled courteously at the holiday
crowd assembled to do him honor. Tht
general was not very tall, but wei
made. His face was distinctly pleasant
and its expression was an odd mixture
of shrewdness, decision and gay goot
humor. His costume was a swallow
tailed coat and trousers Of dark brown
with a great display of white waistcoa
and neckcloth. A bunch of seals hung
from broad black ribbon at his waist
Over his shoulders hung cloth riding
cloak, greenish blue in color and linet
with red" "

There is a graceful custom among

sort that legation causes to be brought

customs. One will readily discern that
ripe profit might be made to roll pleas
antly up at ole Of these untariffed lega-
ton sales. Our own tradespeople must,
however, pay the fiddler in each notable
instance.
At these sales snobdom turns stoutly
out. The bidding is hot and fast and
high. There is nothing so lusted for by
certain sort of American, cringingly
numerous hereabout, as q wine which
has been justified by an embassador's g
taste, or piece of furniture or bric-a-
brac which has been soilcd by noble and
titled contact. And, therefore, these le-

never runs low. The widows store Of

As long as custom hangs about the

the stock of goods to be disposed OF

For, mark you, rather than disap-

chaser away from this sale with aching
heart and empty hands the auctioneer
each night moves III a new stock to r.
place the disappearances of the day be-
fore. Each morning the legation rooms
are as unstripped, the cabinets as full
of bric-a- brac, the bins as replete with
rare old wines as at the beginning.
Thus it runs forward until no more
sheep appear to be shorn and even the
toadies have enough. Then the flag
comes down and the legation sale is at
an end.-New York Journal

FACES ON THE DoLLAR.-There are
few persons but have handled silver
dollars, some many hundreds of thou
sands of them, but I venture to say
that there are not many who are ac-
quainted with the full design on the
face of these coins, said a business
man to a San Antonio, Texas, Ex-
press reporter.
Let me show you. On the diverse
face of the dollar, turned upside down,
directly under the date, will be seen
the profile of George III, a little to
the left the head and name of the
British lion, just to the right of the
profile of Disreli-which makes the
fulness of the cap of the Goddess Of
Liberty; in the cap is the thistle Of
Scotland, the shamrock of Ireland,
and two sprouts of the wheat of Amer
lea, and all surrounded by thirteen
stars representing the thirteen original
states of the Union. So you will see,
the designer of the dollar drew on the
several foreign nations for his designs
for coin that is largely used by the
descendants in America of all those
nations. The Goddess of Liberty, as
you have probably already read, is
said to have been the likeness of a
young Philadelphia lady, whom the
designer once met.

Republican Paper.
VIM. J. Bryan, in letter published
in the New York Mail and Express,
last Friday, refers as follows to re-
cent editorial in that paper regarding
Bryan's work in the Kansas railroad
disaster:
81 beg to thank you for your gener-
Gus words, but am afraid Jour praise
outruns the merit of my work on that
occasion-I did no more than the 9TH
ers who escaped uninjured, and none
of US did more than could have been
expected from any person under like
circumstances. Some Of the wound
ed ones suffered intensely and no one
could have refused any assistance which
could possibly be rendered. 1t is Of
ten the lot of public men to be criti-
cised when they do not deserve it, and
I suppose the unmerited commenda-
tion which they sometimes receive is
necessary to form just average.
However, I appreciate the charity
which you, as political opponent,
have shown. Very truly yours.
"WM. J. BRYAN.
"Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 13, 1897"
The editorial referred to was in part
as follows:
"His GOODNESS, gentleness and help
full service in the presence of so much
confusion, suffering and death dis
closes new depths in his character to
which every true American will pay
hearty tribute of respect and gratitude.
1t was the real Mr.. Bryan who was on
duty in Kansas yesterday"

sian being heir to the fortune OF MS nepn-
ew, Maurice Hammond, an American, in
case of his nephew's death, consplres 10
have him sent to Russia in order TO get
him in his power. II.-Hammond ana
his friend Philip Danvers arrive a. 81, ,c
Petersburg, and Saradof lays plans TO
have them arrested as conspirators against
the government. III and 1V.-Ham-
mond at a review saves the life OF Colo

the way the boat on which they travel

victs, escape in skitf. V, vi and Vll.-
Hammond and Danvers pursue their way
with the two other prisoners, who attack
an approaching wagon. Hammond AMI
Danvers defend an officer in the wagon.
A troop Of Cossacks appears and recapt-
ures all the prisoners. The officer tells
the Americans that they will probably be
shot, but in view of their services to him
he will do all he can for them. VIII, IN
and X.-They are sentenced to be shot.
The sentence is commuted to imprison-
ment at Kara, but riot in which they
are involved results in their being put to
work in the mines of Kara. NJ, MI,

could walk four miles an hour, and
very likely they could, but they would
have to move along very brisk!y to do
it. AS matter of fact, very few peo-
pie indeed do walk four miles an hour
three miles is a very fair gait, and
when one exceeds that he is beginning
to walk fast. If my recollection serves,
the old common time in the army
carried a man two and five-eighths
miles an hour, and quick time two
and seven-eighths miles an hour. The
distances which the soldier covers in
an hour have now. been increased
somewhat by slightly increasing the
length of his steps, but my impression
is that the common time remains un-
der three miles an hour. Certainly
three miles would be good, fair walk
ing, and fully up to mems average
speed"
