Tho Enemies One Is Likely to Meet
In His Vocabulary.
Sin the dictionary of fools we frd Il
can very often, plent " of IFS, and
lots Of words like luck and destiny
and phrases like II I OILY had time or
chance like other peopie!' y "
Did you ever think that many Of the
words and phrases which you constant
" use are your real enemies, that they
leave their hideous pictures and black
shadows in your mind?
How many times have you been kept
from doing a good deed by such
phrases as oh, can't do that, ''S.sI am
afraid that that will not turn out well,,'
s"Oh, / know I can't do that, !" Some
body else can do that a great deal bet
ter" Il am afraid to try II haven't
the courage, 81 fear shall take cold
or catch some disease If do this or
that?' 63
I believe that those two words, I
can't" have ruined more prospects and
have kept more ability doing the work
Of mediocrity than any other two words
In our language.
81 am afraid Of this or that is ter
rible hinderer, a terrible Brighter Of
| ambition, a cooler of enthusiasm
All achievement and all efficiency de-
pend upon initiative, and that is easily
killed by the fear words, the words
! which express doubt and uncertainty
'"By thy words thou shalt be justi-
| fed, and By fly words thou shalt be
| condemned. Success.

STOCKS AGAIN TAKE SLUMP

AFTER RECENT VIOLENT
RECOVERlES.

New York, March 19.-Excitement
was revived In the stock market dur
ing the day by break of disturbing
proportions in the opening dealings.
The outpouring of stocks was attrib-
uted mostly to rush to realize at the
buoyant recovery which had been
achieved on Friday and Saturday from
the extreme depression of Thursday.
Speculative sentiment was practically
agreed that the recovery had been too
violent and too rapid to be healthy.
The wide declines registered in Lon
don before the market opened here
shook the nerves of many holders who
had fairly weathered the storm of last
week. The conspicuous declines were

EVELYN NESBlT'S AFFIDAVIT OF
THAW MURDER CASE.
DEFENDANT USED RAWHIDE WHIP
YOUNG WOMAN LASHED UNTIL
SHE sWooNED ON VARIOUS
SPECIFIED OCCASIONS.

New York, March 19-After fighting
tor an hour and half against the in
PRODUCTION in evidence of the famous
AFFIDAVIT drawn by Abraham H. Hum
mel at the request of Stanford White
and with the alleged consent of Eve
Ign Nesbit charging Harry X. Thaw
with having cruelty beaten Miss Mes
bit on several occasions during their
trip through Europe in 1903 Mr.. Del
mas, attorney for the Defense sudden
ly switched tactics at the trial of Har-
ry Thaw and demanded that the whole
of the alleged affidavit go into the rec
ord and be read to the jury. District
Attorney Jerome had contemplated
reading only certain portions of it,
which he declared directly contradict
ed the testimony Of the young Mrs.
Thaw
The affidavit specifies numerous &C.
casions In Austria, Switzerland and
Paris when Thaw is alleged to have
beaten the young woman, who was
travelling with him as his wife, until
she swooned. Her bare skin, she de-
elared, had been bruised and cut by
the lashings of Thaw's cowhide whip.
The Hummel affidavit had already
been discounted by the statement Of
its contents by Mr.. Jerome at various
times during his arguments as to it's
admissibil1ty. Mr.. Jerome had also
quoted freely from the affidavit during
bis cross-examination of young Mrs.
Thaw During the cross-examinat1on
she denied emphatically having made
any OF the statements contained in the
paper. .s -..@ .s ... -
Prosecution Rests Its Case.
With the reading of the affidavit
Mr.. Jerome announced that the people
rested their case in rebuttal. Mr.. Del
mas Immediately offered in evidence
the record Of the trial of Abraham
Hummel on the charge Of conspiracy.
The district attorney did not object
and the defendants lawyer proceeded
to read the entire record to the jury.
When Hummel was on the witness
stand he denied absolutely that in
drawing the affidavit he was acting as
counsel for Miss Nesbit In the aft
davit as read, and which Hummel said
he dictated, he has Miss Nesbit refer
to himself several times. At one place
she Is purported to say:
Il have received several letters and
cablegrams from Thaw which have
turned over to my counsel, Mr.. Abra-
ham Hammel."
The affidavit is also signed "Howe
& Hunamel, attorneys for plaintiff"
Mr.. Hummel also denied that any
action was contemplated in behalf of
Miss Nesbit, while the affidavit, be-
gins: Evelyn Nesbit, plaintiff. vs..
Harry K. Thaw, defendant" and APP
pears as part of the papers in an &C.
ton contemplated in the supreme
court Of the county of New York.
At the afternoon session Mr.. Del
mas began the Introduction of evil
dence in rebuttal. He called, among
others, Policeman James Barrett, who
declared that Thaw, in his cell on the
night Of the tragedy, spoke constantly
of hearing little girls voices scream
ing. Thaw acted irrationally, the wit
ness said.

PRAISE FOR LABOR UNIONS.
Mr.. Bryan Says They Have Done
Much Good for Society.

Chicago, March 19-William J.
Bryan, at the closing conference in
connection with the Industrial exhibit,
expressed the opinion that trade uni
ons have done more good for society
than any other force In this country.
Although he disclaimed any "scien-
tific" knowledge of the question Mr..
Bryan's remarks were received with
aluch satisfaction by the audience OF
anion men from the Federation of La
Dor which attended the meeting.
THE unions have made some mis-
takes, but they have accomplished
more good" was the keynote of his
speech. He paid tribute especially
to the organizations of women in this
connection.
when we consider that through
trade unions wages have been in
creased, hours shortened and comfort
afforded the workingmen in greater
measure. he said, II think we have
a right to say the benefits resulting
from these unions cannot be overes-
timated Perhaps no other force in
the country ever has been so effective
for Improvement in the citizenship
and general moral qualities of our peo-
pie.
"If the labor union had never done
anything else than raise the age limit
of employment for children in the
mines and factories Of this nation l
believe that accomplishment alone
would justify it's existence No in
fluence in this country ever has been
so evil in it's effects as the tendency
to crowd workshops with children of
tender years. 1t is most destructive
tendency and one that the public con-
science should protest against"
