Diseases Of Fear.

If you are afflicted with an unrea-
sonable fear of anything, do not waste
inc being ashamed of yourself; hurry
at once to a doctor, advises a writer
in Success Magazine. A writer In the
Dietetic and HYGIENE Gazette has
compiled a list of fear diseases from
which it appears that everything, from
screaming at mice to being afraid to
go home in the dark, is a well recog-
nized mental ailment.
The tramp is in reality sufferer
from ergophobia, or fear of work,
often complicated with aquaphobia
and sapophobia, which makes him
shun the bathtub. Siderophobia and
astrophobia cause timid ladies to go
into a closet when it thunders and
Iightens. Any number Of people have
cat and dog phobias. Phantophobia is
what you would have if you were
afraid of your shadow, while an all
around, unqualified coward might be
called a phantophobiac. The list is
long and includes almost every human
weakness except the actress horror of
publicity.

CHAPTER Xxx.
Finer Details.

At ten minutes before two the fol-
lowing day, Monday, l arrived at my
office. 1 had spent the morning put
ing my affairs in shape, and in trip
to the stable The afternoon would
see me either a free man or a pris-

and, in spite of Johnson's promise to

for the latter than the former.

to marry this young lady," he sai1,
turning to Sullivan, although you al

1T was my sisters plan, and was
in a bad way for money. If 1 could
marry, secretly, a wealthy girl and go
to Europe, it was unlikely that Ida

my wife on the train, and to realize

a gun for me for years, and the same
train wouldn't hold both of us. Of
course, 1 thought that he was in the
coach just behind ours"
Hotchkiss was leaning forward now,
his eyes narrowed, his thin lips drawn
to line.
"Are you left-handed, Mr.. Sullivan"
he asked.
Sullivan stopped in surprise.
NO." he said gruffly. Cant do

set her lips a little, but that was all.
You understand, Of course, that I'm
not defending myself" went on the
sullen voice. The day came when
old Harrington put us both out of the
house at the point OF a revolver, and
l threatened suppose you know
that, tool threatened to kill him.
MY sister and | had hard times

ent for a while. l was at Monte Car

an Englishman, a wholesale grocer
with new title, but we had a row,
Heaton boys ranch in Wyoming, and
met Bronson there. He lent me mon
ey, and I've been doing his dirty work
ever since"
Sullivan got up then and walked
slowly forward and back as he talked,
his eyes on the faded pattern of the
office rug.
IF you want to live in hell" he
said savagely, put yourself in anoth-
er mans power. Bronson got into
trouble, forging John Gilmores name
to those notes, and in some way he
learned that man was bringing the
papers back to Washington on the

Sullivan looked at the little man
with sulky blue eyes.
1T was something like that, any
how. But it was a nasty business,
and it made matters worse that he
didn't care that telegram which
must pass through half dozen hands
was more or less discriminating to me.
Then, to add to the unpleasantness
OF my position, just after we boarded
the train 1 was accompanying my
sister and this young lady, Miss West
"a woman touched me on the sleeve,

late to shield me. The time to have

carefully away from my face, which
must have presented certainly any
thing but a pleasant sight. Miss
West was going to do me the honor to
marry me, and"

LIBERIA PROBLEM
TROUBLES POWE
ENGLAND and France Greatly Con-
Cerned Over Policy of
United States

LONDON, Aug. 21.-The attitude of
France towards Liberia is outlined as
follows:
IT has been falsely assumed in GER
tain quarters that France is quite
willing to admit the right of the Unit
ed States to interfere at pleasure IN the
Liberian question. a final expression
of opinion must, of course, depend on
the exact course which American inter-
vention-if any-is to take. II the
process which, it is alleged, is shortly
to begin, stops short at mere duiiilllle i.Ls
tratiye reorganization, pure and SIM
ple. thence France will have little TO
saw. If, however, anything akin TO a
nrotectorate is to result from the phll-
anthropic intentions announced In Ger
tain Quarters, the attitude of France
will be quite different.
The scheme at present attrlputeo'
rightly or wrongly, TO the United states
would, it is held IN colonial circles IN
France. be very Objectionable to both
France and England The first reason
for this feeling is that the course al
legged to be contemplated by Mr.. Knox
would amount to the establishment OIL
an American protectorate over Liberia
Not only, it appears, does MI. hno&
assert that the United States are the
natural protectors of the black repuo-
sition, but he seems to believe that 1t
is the role of the United States to play
the part of the trustees of Liberia ana
to the mediators between Liberia ana
Europe. He has also apparently eX-
pressed the intention of establishing
coaling station on the Liberian coast.
MONROE DOCTRINE INVOLVED
This means clearly enough that Mr.
Knox wishes to take up in Liberia
political position which would be in
many ways stronger than Frances po-
sition in Morocco. In taking such
step the United States would be aban-
doning the true Monroe doctrine, and
would extend their action beyond the
sphere which they have allotted TO
themselves. The European powers
which have always accepted the Mon
roe doctrine in America, have per-
feet right to withhold their consent to
such an Interpretation Of American
rights.
This reason is only of a general char
acter. But there follows the fact that
Liberia is of all African countries the
one in which France would be most
alarmed by an American or any other

KAISER is OPPOSED TO
WOMEN IN POLITICS
Wilhelm Gives Partial lndorSe-
ment to Feminist Movement

BERLIN, Aug. 21.-The kaiser re-
Gently seized an opportunity of ven
tilating his views on the feminist
movement and the general trend of
his utterance has been made public,
presumably with his majesty's permis-
sion.
He views with profound sympathy
the general movement proceeding in
all the civilized countries of the world
for the amelioration of the position OF
women, including higher education.
His majesty believes in technical
education for women and the invasion
of different businesses and professions
by women, holding that in the present
numerical proportion of the sexes this
is inevitable and could not be denied
to women without grave injustice to
them.
Consequently women lawyers, women
doctors, women dentists and women in
many other branches of activity may
count on the kaiser's approval.
In brief, the kaiser Is supporter or
every phase of the new woman move
ment, with the single exception OF its
political aspect. He is a resolute OPP
ponent of woman suffrage. He abhors
the idea of women in political life.
The introduction Of woman suffrage
in any country appears to him to be
an unnistakable sign of hopeless de-
cadence and decay. Women in poll
tics would, he thinks, be the begin
ming of the end of any country. Con-
seouently his majesty has an aversion
for the eccentricities and extrava-
gances perpetrated by the extreme suf-
fragists in various countries.

DEPUTIES SECURE
LIGHTNING RODS
Attractive Poles Are to Be Used
to Draw Down the City
Clerks Position

Some lightning rod agent has been
doing a fancy business in the city
clerks department. Every deputy in
the office is equipped with as many OF
these attractive poles as he can carry
and is standing around in hopeful ex-
pectancy that he may be the man Oh
destiny.
All this excitement is because the
council must appoint a new city clerk
in the event of the election of Harry
]. Lelande to the office Of county clerk,
a contingency more than probable, as
shown by the heavy vote the city clerk
polled in his nomination at the prim-
aries last Tuesday
should the council decide that one
of the deputies now in the office of the
city clerk would be the proper person
to head the department, that partlcu-
lar deputy would readily agree the
choice was a wise one, although that
opinion would not be unanimous among
the other deputies.
Charles L. Wilde, chief deputy OF
the city clerk, because of his many
years of service in the department, and
his thorough knowledge Of the work
of the office, is conceded to be quail
fed to hold the position, but 1t is not
likely that the council will name him,
because. according to his opponents.
Wilde has been used as a catspaw to
null some ohestnuts out of the fire for
people not in harmony with the pres
ent controlling forces, and Tor that
reason does not stand high in the con-
fldence of the council.
David NJ. Carroll, minute clerk or
the council, ranking next to Wilde in
the clerks office has been in the de-
partment for many years, and is known
TO be a good government man.
There is something to commend every
other deputy in the office. but 1t does
not seem probable that any one OF
them will be named. City Clerk Le-
lande expects the council will go out
side his office to secure his successor.
Mr.. Lelande has not made up his
mind when he will resign his office.
The law does not require him to give
, up his present position until he quail
1es as county clerk, and that will not
be until some time in December, If he
is elected. But he expects to resign
before that time and take trip east,
where he will rest from the cares of
office altogether for time.
