FOES TO SUCCESS.
Don't Be Victim of Timidity, Shyness
or Self Consciousness.

Don't Be Victim Of Timidity, shyness
or Self Consciousness.
Timidity, shyness and self conscious
ness belong to the same family. We
usually find all where we find any one,
and they are all enemies of peace OF
mind, happiness and achievement No
one has ever done a great thing while
his mind was centered upon himself.
We must lose ourselves before we can
find ourselves. Self analysis Is valu-
able only to learn our strength; it is
fatal If it makes us dwell upon our
weaknesses.
Timid, shy people are morbidly self
conscious They think too much about
themselves. Their thoughts are turn
ed inward; they are always analyzing.
dissecting themselves, wondering how
they appear and what people think of
them. If these people could only for
get themselves and think Of others
they would be surprised to see what
freedom, ease and grace they would
gain, what success in life they would
achieve.
Thousands of young people are held
back from undertaking what they long
to do and are kept from trying to make
real their great life dreams because
they are afraid to jostle with the
world They shrink from exposing
their sore spots and sensitive points
which smart from the lightest touch.
Their supersensitiveness makes cow
ards of them.-O. S. Marden in Success
Magazine.

Queer Of superlatives in its early days,
says the London Chronicle. When
Queen Victoria wrote of May day.
1851, as "the greatest day In our his

was referring to the whole idea and
effect Of the exhibition, but ''the beau

HOLLANDS RAILROADS.

the Canal Traffic.
In contrast with the history of Bel
GUM. Germany, France and Austria,
Holland alone of all European coun-
tries presents a situation where the
railroads require protection from the
competition of the canals.
Holland thus reverses the general
rules which apply in all other coun-
tries. Railroad development was re-
markably slow in Holland. The first
Dutch railroads were short local lines,
while the waterway system was ex-
tensive and strongly intrenched.
At length, convinced that she could
not keep pace with other European
countries by her waterway system
alone, the Dutch government con-
structed an ambitious line Of railroads
connecting with the international
lines of Europe.
The railroads were built not with
any expectation that they would be
profitable as investments, but because
they were considered absolutely neces-
sary to save the country from indus
trial decadence. Holland Is the only
country in the world In which the
state has provided both rail and wa
ter highways substantially free of cap
ital charge. The railroads are now
operated at loss to supplement the
waterways, which carry 80 per cent

M|DDLEBROOk wins CAME
Puts it Over Brownsburg in Classy
Contest by Decisive Score

Middlebrook, July 31.-A large
crowd attended the ball game played
between Middlebrook and Browns
burg Saturday afternoon on the ball
grounds at Mr.. o. S. McCary's near
Middlebrook. This was a very inter-
esting game and afforded a lot of
amusement and practice for the
local team. The score was nine
teen to two. In the first inning
BrOwnsburg scored two runs which
were made by Brooks and Buchanan.
After that it was complete walk
over for the Middlebrookers'. The
Brownsburg boys did some very good
work, but our boys found it a cinch
to hit the twirlers that came so swift
and hard. Niddlebrook is fast de-
veloping hefty bunch, and those
who have been waiting to see what
our boys can do had better engage
front seats for the next game.

Ghosts Without Heads.

Speaking Of ghosts, the London
Chronicle says that "headless coaches
are fairly numerous in England. The
most famous is the one that drives
once a year. on the anniversary Of
Anne Boleyn's execution, up the ave-
nue. at Rlickling. her Norfolk home.
The coachman and the four horses
have not a head between them. and
Anne's own is not upon her shoulders.
but she holds it in her lap as she sits
in the coach all in white. At the hall
door the whole apparition vanishes.
Anne's father, Sir Thomas, also rides
in a coach drawn by headless horses
once a year. and his ride is much more
exciting than his daughters. He has
to cross forty county bridges during
the night and a company Of yelling de-
mons pursues the coach to keep the
horses going. But how do the horses
hear the noise if they have no ears?

Advice to the Man Whose Wife Is
Away on Vacation.
During any time when your wife Is
on an extended visit with her relatives
you can save money from your board
allowance by keeping house for your
self. You may find the following sug-
gestions helpful:
If you forget to order ice you can
render the butter serviceable in the
following manner: Take a cut glass
finger bowl and I'll it with cool water.
Scrape the butter into the finger bowl.
When ready to spread your bread ex-
tract your butter in quantities as need
ed with the cucumber litter. That's
that fat silver spoon with holes In it.
If you smell smoke You will doubt
less find the lamp Is smoking and the
room is covered with SCOT. First turn
the wick down to save oil, then get a
damp cloth and go over everything
carefully. rinsing out the cloth from
time to time. When cleaning the walls
use only a downward motion. so that
the streaks will all run vertically.

by your butcher. One way 10 make
steak tender is to run it repeatedly

more room for the juice.-Walter A.

in 1895 was the first city to employ
the numbering system. The German
innovators did not put odd numbers
on one side of their streets and even
numbers on the other. They merely
started from the Brandenburg gate
and numbered straight ahead, taking
no account Of change Of street. As
they proceeded, therefore, the num-
bers grew higher, the height to which
they attained being limited only by
the supply Of houses. The first house

An Authors Odd Aversion.

The "stoic" meal had attractions for
Edward Fitzgerald, who, among his
other peculiarities, hated to see peo-
pie enjoying their food. On one oc-
casion, after a man had finished
glass of wine in his company and gone
out of the room, Fitzgerald remarked
with disgust: did you notice how he
took up his glass? l am sure he likes
it. Bahv Fitzgerald himself, accord
ing to his biographer, Mr.. A. G. Ben
son, ''lived practically on bread and
fruit, mostly apples and pears, even
turnip, with sometimes cheese or but
ter and milk buildings. But he was
not a bigoted vegetarian. To avoid
an appearance Of singularity he would
eat meat at other houses and provided
it in plenty for his guests. But the
only social meal he cared to join in
was tea, pure and simple, with bread
and butter.'"

+ But amt the roses sweet7
7 There is anfeastern legend that when
the benefcent Creator prepared the
earth for man. causing it to bring
forth herbs and trees pleasant to the
eye and good for food, each bearing
its seed within itself for propagating
its kind, the roses had no thorns and
the lilies, violets and other blossomfng
plants were free from thistles, bram-
bles and noxious weeds.
But the sons and daughters of men
In their greedy eagerness to gather the
flowers, each one selfshly striving to
secure larger share than his fellow,
seemed likely to despoil the earth OF
its beauty and leave not even enough
blossoms to perfect their seed and per-
petuate their species. So the kindly
Alls Father provided the roses with
thorns for self protection and sent a
host Of defenders of the more tender
blossoms by causing thistles and briers
to spring up around them like wardens
Of a castle or the bodyguard Of
queen. And this is the reason for the
thorns and briers-nature's protection
against human greed.
The legend has wider application.
The roses typify the pleasures of life
and the thorns its pains. A life of
ease and pleasure was not only USE
less, but satiating. 1t would demoral-
