WILL POWER AN ESSENTIAL
fdence in Himself Is He Who
Succeeds.

What would you think of a
young man, ambitious to become
a lawyer, who should surround
himself with a medical atmos-
phere and spend his time reading
medical books? asks Orison SWEET
Marden, in Success. Do you think
he would ever become a great
lawyer by following such course?
No, he must put himself into law
atmosphere, where he can absorb
it and be stepped in it until he is
attuned to the legal note. He
must be grated into the legal
tree so that he can feel it's sap cir
culating through him.
How long would it take young
man to become successful who
puts himself into an atmosphere
of failure and remains in it until
he is soaked to saturation with
the idea? How long would it take
a man who depreciates himself,
talks of failure, walks like fail
ure, and dresses like failure
who is always complaining of the
insurmountable difficulties in his
way, and whose every step is on
the road to failure-how long
would it take him to arrive at the
success goal? Would anyone be-
heve in him or expect him to win ?
The majority Of failures began
to deteriorate by doubling or de-
preciating themselves, or by los
ing confidence in their own ability.
The moment you harbor doubt
and begin to lose faith in yourself,
| you capitulate to the enemy
Every time you acknowledge
weakness, ineficiency, or lack OF
ability, you weaken your self-con
! fidence, and that is to undermine
the very foundation of all achieve
ment.
So long as you carry around a
failure atmosphere, and radiate
doubt and Encouragement, you
will be a failure. Turn about face
cut off all currents of fail
ure thoughts, of discouraged
thoughts. Boldly face your goa
| with a stout heart and a deter
mined endeavor, and you will fine
| that things will change for you
I but you must see a new world be
fore you can live in it. It is t,
what you see, to what you believe
to what you struggle incessantl,
to attain, that you will approx
mate.

LACE-BARK TREES ARE FEW

There are in all about half
dozen lace-bark trees in the world

leaf. The native tapa cloth, as i
is called, is made from the bari,
of the brusonetia papirifera, bu;
ii is not usually included among
the real lace-bark trees.
In it's natural state the real lace
bark is of delicate creamwhite
tint. It is probably kind of
fibrous pith. When the outer bark
is removed it can, be unfolded and
unwound in one seamless piece,
having a surface of a little more
than a square yard. Washing and
sun bleaching give it dazzling
white appearance. The fabric is
airily light. 1t is used in the West
Indies for mantslas, crayats, col
lars, cuffs, window curtains-in a
word, for every purpose that CT
dinary lace is used. In making up

tomary to piece two sheets of lace
bark together. Delicate and ap-

into a thin string, will all but re

| Despite it's practical use there

FIND TREASURE OF A KING
Hoard of Gold, Ivory and Precious
Stones Lies Hidden in
African Soil.

Treasure hunting continues to
occupy the attention of many peo-
pie in various parts Of the world.
A hoard of buried wealth not as
well known as certain others is
that supposed to have been Sc
creted by Lobengula, king of the
Matabele in Sousl Africa, before
he met his death at the hands of
the British. This treasure is said
to consist of gold, ivory and pre-
cious stones. 1t was brought into
the limelight of public notice not
long ago by the arrest Of Dutch
man named John Jacobs. He ar
rived at Bulawayo, told some
thing of his plans, was put into
what they call the ''goap and has
since been deported.
Lobengula succeeded his father
as king of the Matabele in 1870
and boldly opposed European civ
ilization. He made Bulawayo his
capital. After the discovery of
gold in his territory in 1872, Por
tugal, the Transvaal and Great
Britain stroye to win the supreme
control over Lobengula's king
dom. In 1888 he signed a treaty
| with Great Britain, admitting her
suzerainty. In 1893, provoked by
the insolence of the British South
Africa company, he attacked the
English. He was terribly beaten.
! His capital was taken and in his
| flight he himself was killed.
| John Jacobs, the treasure seek
er, was a school-teacher. He
claims to have been private secre-
| tary to King Lobengula and that
in this way he learned where the
treasure was hid. The Bulawayo
authorities, however, discovered
that he had a bad record. Hence
his deportation. Jacobs is an Ell
derly man, bearing evidence OF
long exposure to wind and
weather. The treasure is still to
be found.

PERIL IN STONE SETTING.
Rewards Are Offered for a Method to
Remove Risk Of Lead Poison
ing-Little Hope.

Advices from Washington are
to the effect that the government
of the Netherlands has offered
prize of 5000 forms, some $4,000
in the currency of this country, for
a complete solution of the prob
lem involved in the setting and re-
setting of diamonds without in
curing the danger of lead poison
ing.
1t is to be feared that nobody
will come forward to claim this
reward. For years scientists on
both sides Of the water have been
experimenting with a view to rem
edying the defects of diamonds,
eliminating their dangerous prop
critics, but thus far their efforts
have not been productive of the
desired results. Many diamonds,
particularly the larger stones,
can be set without the metallic
background which threatens the
health of the gold and silver
smiths, but in every instance they
lose their brilliancy, and, at
tached to the shirt bosoms of
"dressy gentlemen" or the bod.
ices of portly dowagers and ma
irons attract scarcely more at.
tention than window glass. -Four
and even six-karat white dia
monds, shorn of a thin, filmy un
der surface of lead or lead and tin
composition, frequently become
transparent and fail to refract the
light. UNLOCKED and presented
as pledges after banking hours
these gems are appraised at from
$2.45 to $500 a quart, which is bu7
a 1.-THE of their apparent value.
The lead which enters into dia
{ monds of "purest ray serene" no
only imperils the lives of thos,
who handle them for the market
but also stains the clothing o
those who wear them. Some littl,
time ago the French bureau O
: chemistry announced that it woul,
give $4,000 francs to the perso1
who would devise a process whicl
. would free diamonds from th
: taste peculiar to alum whic,
:. many of them possess, but the d.
: partment mentioned still has til
y money.

OUR HISTORY is MASCULINE

with America.

Our history is hard and mascu
line; colored with few purple |
lights; toolittle related to our ten
derer sentiments and deeper PAS
sions. When older peoples have
paused, as we did then, they have
looked upon far different scenes.
says William CARROT Brown, in
the Atlantic. Fairer companic:;
have stood about more stateij
figures of triumph or of tragedy
than that America and the world
now gazed upon. The common
chamber, the gaunt, pale presi-
dent, the strong, bearded counsel
ors at his bedside-this was un
like the scenes which European
peoples have fixed in their mem
ories. Charles l. and Mary Stuar;
on their scaffolds, the barons AMI
the king at Runnymede, Maria
Theresa appealing to the mobiles
OF Hungary to take up theii
swords for her child, Marie Anto:
nette and Mirabeau, and many an
other pageant of human love and
sacrifice are treasured up by other
people as we have treasured up
this crude, unlackeyed martyr
dom.
Even the great personality of
Lincoln, now potent in so many in

limited as theirs was. Dying il:

of the frontier; as, indeed, all ca

FOUR CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Fire Panic at ndianapolis-Result OF
False Alarm

Frenzied by a false alarm of fire, several
hundred newsboys, struggling to obtain free
tickets to a show by a patent medicine adj
vertisng company, stampeded in a narrow
stairway in the Masonic Temple at Indian
apolis last night, crushing the life out of
four boys and probably fatally injuring sew
eral other children.
The dead are: Ed Morrissey. Louis Schei-
CERT, Carl Laurel and Homer Williamson.
They are all about thirteen years old.
Long before the time appointed for the
distribution of free tickest, the stairs of
Masonic Temple, at the southwest corner
of Washington street and Capitol avenue,
were crowded with pushing. yelling
crowd of children. mostly newsboys, each
anxious to be first to receive a pass.
When the distribution began the excite
ment became more intense, and the eff
forts of several policemen to maintain order
were unavailing.
1t is alleged by a witness that one of
the boys, in an endeavor to hasten the exit
of those who had received passes, shouted
fire" Immediately, those at the top of
the stairs faced about and madly began
to force a way to the bottom of the steps.
Shrieks and physical encounters followed
and those at the top became so closely en-
tangled that the mass of boys fell, clingins
to each other, in struggling mass of
youths at the bottom of the stairs.
Policemen from central station respond
ed to a riot call and began to extrica tie
the smothering boys Four boys were
dead when uncovered. The bows fought
desperately to get free, and dozens were
injured by the first crush or were hurt
by the subsequent scramble for air
An immense crowd of people, attracted
by the wild shouts, jostled about the ma
of boys and hampered the work of the am
bulance corps.
The dead We're sent to a morpue for
identification. The severely Injured were
sent TO a hospital, while many who suf-
Iered shght injuries We're sent home.

OREGON LAND FRAUDS.
Reply of the District Attorney to Sena.
tor MITCHELL

In answer to Senator AIitchelrs charges
that the Federal grand jury which brought
indictments against him in connection with
land frauds in Oregon was an illegal body
and that District Attorney Heney was pre-
JUDGED, Mr. Heney introduced afiidavits yes
terday at Portland, Greg, relating the fact
of his appointment as district attorney, and
declaring that he bears no malice toward
any of the defendants. The affidavits also
certify that George Gusin, the juror whose
citizenship is questioned by the defense is
a naturaliZed citizen of the United States.
Attorney Bennett, for the defense. rails
ed objections to the introduction of the
affidavitS upon the ground that the gov
eminent had not adopted the proper
course OF procedure.
Mr.. Heney argued that statute of the
United States provided that af1idavits
could be introduced to show the citizen
ship of a naturalized foreigner. He stat
ed that the statute provided that pleas in
aba tement shall be tried by a judge with
out jury. and that the federal laws pro-
vided for the introduction of evidence in
the form of affidavits
Representative Binger Hermann yesterday
submitted demurrers to each of the charges
pending against him in connection with
land frauds in Oregon. Former District At
torney j. ii. Hall, former District Attorney
Edwin Mays. Earl Benson. w. n. Jones
