The Fear of Being Thought "Queer'

The Fear of Being Thought queer.
The fear of being thought peculiar pre-
vents great many people from reaching
the limit of their possibilities. These
people can endure unmerited blame, and
even calumny, with fortitude. They are
patient under great trials, and are not
afraid to face difficulties, noble in many
ways, and weak, perhaps, only In this one
point. Fear of ridicule, OF being thought
different from other people, appears to be
the one vulnerable spot In their armor.
They seem unable to rid themselves OF the
idea that they excite comment every
where because of their supposed peculiar
lilies.
Nine times out of ten, this "queerness"
is disease of the imag tnation. and has no
bid condition Of mind must be his own
physician. The veriest tyro In the'worid's
ways must know that men and women
are too busy with their own affairs, too
much occupied with selfish cares TO
think much about him. whether he Is
like or unlike other people OF his ac-
quaintaDce. Rest assured they are not
watching you or Analysing your words
and movements. Be your natural self as
far az you can, and do not trouble your
self about what others think or say OF
you. Do what you think to be right, and
give yourself no concern as to What theirs
think OF your words or actions, aud you
VIII find that your "queerness" will soon
iali away from you.-Success.

been these efforts that practically every
one on the Health Committee and 9th
ers possessed with the facts in the case
have been pledged to secrecy
Regardless of these precautionary meas
ures on the part of the Committee and the
special accountant, the truth has leak
ed out.
Owing to the secrecy Of the Health
Committee members 1t has been quito
impossible to ascertain the details of
the charges made by Mr.. Mccarthy, but
it Is known that he made In a secret
meeting Of the body statement in
which he accused Mr.. O'Grady Of be-
ing incompetent and unable to attend to
the duties Of the position rs they should
be looked after. It is alleged that the
books and papers of the Board of Health
are In muddled condition, which has
almost defied Strengthening by the city
accountant.
DONE HONESTLY.
However, be 1t stated In justice to
Mr.. O'Grady. the city accountant is OF
the opinion that every bit Of tho work
in the office has been performed with
honesty. His only claim is that the oc-
cupant Of the position Is not q, proper
capable of attending to the duties.
AS result of this statement by Mr..
Mccarthy, subcommittee. consisting Of
Messrs Curtis (chairnan), Satterfield
and ONeil, were appointed to examine
the books and papers Of the Board OF
Health with view to making report
upon the charges made by Mr.. Nc
Carthy.
These gentlemen, It Is understood, have
as Yet reached no conclusion about the
matter, although MIR, O'Grady has been
appraised Of tho true state II affairs. The
books and papers have been examined,
and the subcommittee will formulate a
report probably Monday afternoon. This
will be considered by committee Of the
whole next Thursday night.
AS is his duty, City Accountant Me-
Carthy. at the direction Of tho Finance
Committee, makes examinations Of the
books of tho various departments of the
city government frequently. Recently he
had occasion to Investigate the Health
Department and the Board OF Health. as
a consequence OF which he concluded that

Dr.. Blackwell to Norfolk. His wife is a
native Of that place. and he himself Is a
vlrginian by birth. and was raised near
Roanoke. Every denomination. class and
condition OF people here will regret to
see him leave. The First Baptist

aging exhibit for Wilmington. and Is
