a CURIOUS OLD PLACE.

Is the Present Department of Justice.
The present Depar, ,ment of Justice
is curious old place; only those fami-
liar with it can avoid getting lost. 1t
is composed of a number Of residences
which have been converted into one
large office building. OF course, eco
nomy of space and light could not be
practiced, and as consequence there
are long passageways, dark halls, nu-
merous s,airways, and other places
which are not essential in n public
Office. Some years ago an appropri-
alton of $1.00O0OO was made for
Department of Justice.
Mr.. Griggs, who was then attorney
general, declared proper department
could not be built for that money.
Since then Acknowledgement Knox
agreed with him, and the department
remains in rented quarters. Perhaps
the next session of congress may be
more generous and first-class build
ing erected for the department that
deals with law NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

placed in the Western Aviary OF the

There is an Anti-Flirtation Club In
st. Petersburg, which, as its name I'M

with the affections of susceptible
young people in the Russian capital

nIcious habit and to prevent others
from flirting. Those breaking their

Hipb Priced Dick wel1cs.

Fifty thousand dollars is what Rome
Respass considers Dick Welles, his
crack three-year-old colt Is worth. and
he says he will not part with him
for q cent less. E. e. Smathers, OWL
er of McChesney. has been anxious to
secure the six furlong record breaker,
but the price named by Respass Is con-
sldered exorbitant, inasmuch as the
colt has not shown that he can carry
his speed distance.
John A. Drake is another who would
like to own the swift son Of King Eric,
but, as in Smathers' case, the price ap-
pears to be too much.
Smathers is also reported as being
on the eve Of trade for Bad News.
Fifteen thousand dollars is said to be
the price asked for the latter colt.

THE TERRIBLE IMAGE OF FEAR.
The Greatest Enemy of the Human
Race.

The Greatest Enemy of the Human
Race.
Thoughts most deadly instrument
for marring human lives is fear. IL
demoralizes character, destroys ambi-
tion, induces or causes disease, para
lyzes happiness in self and others and
prevents achievement. 1t has not one
redeeming quality. 1t is all evil. Ply
siologists now well know that it i'm
poverishes the blood by interfering
with assimilation and cutting off nu-
triton. 1t lowers mental and physi-
cial vitality and weakens every ele-
ment of success. 1t is fatal to the
happiness of youth, and is the most
terrible accompaniment of old age.
Buoyancy fees before its terrifying
glance, and cheerfulness cannot dwell
In the same house with it.
"The most extensive of all the NOR
bid mental conditions which reflect
themselves so disastrously on the hui
man system is the state OF fear" says
DR.. William II. Holcomb. 1T has
many degrees or gradations, from the
state of extreme alarm, fright or ter
ror, down to the slightest shade OF ap-
prehension of impending evil. But
all along the line it is the same thing
a paralyzing impression upon the
centres of lie which can produce,
through the agency of the nervous sys-
tenn, a vast variety of morbid symp-
toms in every tissue of the body"
"Fear is like carbonic acid gas
pumped into ones atmosphere" says
Horace Fletcher; "it causes mental,
moral and spiritual asphyxiation, and
sometimes death-death to energy,
death to all growth"
Yet from our birth we live in the
presence and under the dominion OF
this demon A child is cautioned
thousand times year to look out for
this and to look out for that; it may
get poisoned, 1t may get bitten, II
may get killed; something terrible may
happen to it If it does not do So and
so. Men and women cannot bear the
sight of some harmless animal or in
sect because as children they were
told that it would hurt them. One OF
the cruelest things imaginable IS to
instill into a child's plastic mind the
terrible image of fear, which, like the
letters cut on a sapling, grows wider
and deeper with age. The baleful shad-
ows of such blasting and blighting pic
lures will hang over the whole life
and shut out the bright joy of sun and
happiness.-J. Lincoln Brooks, in Sue

DON'T BET ON YOUR WATCH.
Advice of a JeWelcr Who Has HAD

hdvice Of JeWelcr Who Has Had
Many Waeers to Decide.
In the windows of nearly all the Dig
retail jewelry stores downtown are
thermometers. In fact. the chronome'
fer has become the most valuahle part
IF the window display.
Two prosperous-looking men. after
comparing their watches the other
dav with one of these chronometers,
were seen to go inside the store and
q few minutes later to reappear. AS
they did so one of the men passed a
roll of bills to the other. Then they
laughed, shook hands and separated
The jeweler stood inside and smiled
"It's funny" he said to n Sun re-
norter chow many people there are in
this world who have the betting fever
and how foolishly they risk their
money. Those two men are samples.
Before the day is over I've no doubt
half dozen more will be in to get me
m decide similar bets. Every day we
have some.
What did they bet on Why, on
the nearness of their watches to the
correct time. Of course, two men
who make such a bet have the betting
hunch to begin with. Then they're
also stucl, on the watches they carry.
"There was the difference of two
seconds between the watches In the
case you just noticed, but on that $2o
changed hands. I've known 1t 10 be
MS high as hundred.
"The difference between any TWO
watches is rarely less than half Sec

q bet is made men generally want the
ieweler to decide it and, OF course,
we're always willing. l guess quite a
few thousands have changed hands on
my decisions by this time.
ga man will get watch abroad and
pay big money for it. He'll meet a
friend who has bought one OF the
crack American watches, and II
they've got the sporting instinct a bet
will almost invariably follow com
parison of the watches.
perhaps both men have set their
watches that day or the day before,
and so are willing to wager all the
money they've got with them, and
that's often a big roll. p
when one of them finds that his
watch, instead of being almost with
