A famous steepie climber was ask
ed If he ever felt fear in his business.
'Of course l feel fear NJ times he
answered. Fear is common to all
mankind. Not to feel fear is not cOur-
age. To overcome fear is the true quail
~ Of courage. 1 divide the nerve force
of Il man into two parts-the impelling
force and the restraining force-the
same impcliinG force that causes Il
body of recruits at first to run undef
fire and the restraining force that
causes them to overcome for various
rea sOns the first natural fear. SO. in
climbing. one unused to it is by the
natural impellinG force of his nervous
system afraid. afraid that his legs, his
arms. his support, will give way and
plunge him down. Shakespeare. who
touched on all human emotions. touch
ed on this feeling of fear in high places
when in King Lear he pictured Ed
ward al the cliffs of Dover.
The one way 10 get over the natural
fear is 10y some restraining force from

once when Il new boy ut sea was or
dered aloft by the mate he trembled
with fear and begged 10 be let out of
It. Upon my soul, sir, i can't 30 up
there. This was his first impelling
impulse. But when the mate touched
him up with ropes end he was at the
top of the mast so quick that the mate
could not follow him. The pain on his
outer nerves brought him to his senses
and made him exert his restraining
force. So If you happen TO be with
any Zone who shows signs of fear in n

ARMYWAGoNs FOR ENGLAND

Vehicles Like Our Army Model.

Vehicles Like Our Army ModeI.
England is obtaining many of her
supplies for the war with the Beers in
the CrEted States. The superiority OF
the American mule has already been
demonstrated in South Africa And
now the British government is looking
TO us fcrSva CONS for its cOmmissary de-
partment-
AS eaEy as September last, before
actual nostilities had begun in the
Transvaal, Colonel II. y. Bunbury, an
officer of the English artillery, was
sent TO the United States TO see what
kind of commissary wagons the Yam
KEGS could furnish. He went to Wash
ington first for information, and he
was referred to n firm in New York
city. Colonel Bunbury went to the
companTS office and selected the style
of wagon he thought would answer his
purpose. Then he remained in the
United States until the war broke out,
when he asked his government if he
should place the order for the wagons.
The answer was a rush order for sew
eral hundred vehicles. built mainly on
wagons in use in the Philippines and
Cuba. Colonel Bunbury suggested
some slight changes in the construc-
ton. and the wagons were built in a
style best suited to the character of
the country in which they were to be
used.
The firm started to fill the order at
once, and an extra force of men was
put TO work building these vehicles.
They are great, heavy affairs, weigh
ing a ton apiece and capable of haul
ing fCazr tons of provisions. They are
from 10 to IL feet long. The wagons
are also fitted with stout bows to
stretch canvas over. like the western
prairie schoOners. which they some
what resemble. Just how many wag-
ons have been contracted for no one
connected with the firm which has the
order would say the other day. The
manager said that the firm had been
requested not TO make that public. In
speaking about the order to a reporter
OF the New York Evening Sun he said:
I'VE began to ship these wagons in
November. As fast as they are COM
pleted at the factory they are sent to
New York, where they are put on YES
sells bound directly for South Africa.
l will say that the order has now been
nearly entirely filled. and many of the
vehicles are probably already in use"
1t is said that the order was the re-
suit Of a report made by the British
officers who investigated the United
States commissary in the Philippines.

TO SUPPRESS MUSIC.
Society Organized In Chicago to An
initiate Music That Is Bad.

initiate Music That Is Bad.
A society for the suppression of mu-
sic was organized in Chicago recently.
Many of the charter members are mu-
sicians. The constitution sets forth
that the music of Chicago is degener-
ate and proposes in the interests of art
to suppress it.
The society will apply for a charter
from the main body of the order, which
is located at Cincinnati. and expects to
form subordinate societies in Chicag go
to aid in the crusade against music,
says the Cincinnati Commercial Trib-
une. The mode of procedure will be
an appeal to the law to stop music in
its aggravated forms by pronouncing
it n nuisance and asking that the nui-
sance he abated. The crusade will be
directed first against street bands, hand
organs and saloon music halls, and an
attempt will he made 10 suppress piano
playing at unseemly hours in flats.
President Keller. in speaking the 9TH
er day of the society and its objects,
said:
''In no city on earth is music more
abused or more crimes committed in it's
name than in Chicago. We anticipate
a large membership, for we have rea
son TO believe there are 5000 people
in Chicago who suffer torture in their
homes through distorted forms of mu-
sic and who will join our movement.
The members present at this mornings
meeting unanimously agreed that rag
time and coon songs have become
crimes"
