in the grip OF miserable dread OF death,
double fear, first that myself should
die in my sins and go straight to that
fiery hell which was never mentioned
at home, but which | had heard all
about from other children, and, second,
that my father-representing the entire
adult world which had basely de-
ceived-should himself die before | had

obtaining relief was TO go downstairs to
my fathers room and make full con-
fession. The high resolve to do this
would push me out of bed and carry me
down the stairs without touch of fear.
But at the foot of the stairs would be
faced by the awful necessity of passing
the front door-which my father, be-
cause of his Quaker tendencies, did not
look-and of crossing the wide and
black expanse of the living room in or

straight in my path. would finally

history of my sin, invariably received

The Sun and the Earth.

The diameter of the sun is SOS, 900

Dogs Cries Bring
 Help to Shooter
Rescuers Attracted by Barking of Animal Raise Tony Fabiano From Deep Well

Winsted, Nov. GA shooter, who gave his name as Tony Fabiano, was imprisoned in a we'll shaped hole, twenty-five feet deep in the woods at the south end of Highland Lake all night, and except for his two dogs he might have perished of cold or starvation. The locality is seldom trod by man at this season The man was coming down the hillside through the woods and in the dark did not see the hole, which had been sunk for a well.
 Fortunately the bottom was sandy, the action of the foot of water in the hole having caused the sand on the sides to cave in. The hole had not been stoned up and Fabiano found he could get no foothold. If he 1oosened much of the earth he was afraid of being buried by a cave in, he says. 1t was about midnight when he drop ped into the hole and fully an hour elapsed, he said, before his dogs found him. He called for help at the top of his voice.
 His dogs, parked loudly, but nobody was attracted by the cries until seven o'clock yesterday morning, when a party of rabbit shooters heard the dogs and investigated. They went to the nearest farmhouse, nearly mile away, and got tackle and ropes. Af- ter hitching the former to tree they rescued Fabiano. The shooters gun went into the deep hole with him but was not discharged.

Reasons Why Thousands Like Me
 Canont Satisfy Their Employers
 I believe my fate is not unlike that of thousands of other workers who daily lose their places for reasons they do not know, and probably would not believe. When their last pay envelo oPe comes along, it is usually, Your ser vices no longer required" If the truth were known, the reason for their un- ceremonious removal would probably be that their usefulness was destroyed because of some mental worry, bodily ailment or general indisposition. These things, as we all know, are the most fruitful causes of failure in all walks of life.' The battle of Waterloo was lost because of a headache. In this quick age our minds must be clear, rapid, active and free from out side influence or worry, or else we go down to failure with the thrOng of "f1oaters'' who go from one place of employment to another, giving no sat- isfaction to others or to themselves. constantly growing older and less use full, with no ambition, no will power, and no hope.
 Every man requires from every oth- CT man the best that is in him. But no man can use or get the best that is in himself until he is first free from alll fretful indispositions and worries.
 
 troubles. That's why I lost my job. My stomach in the first place was al- ways out of order, and I was worrying about it and my mind grew cloudy, and slow. I made mistakes, and grew grouchy. That was the end.
 There are thousands like me. going about with "quick lunch'' faces, dys- peptic manners, and repulsive atmos- pheres. No employer wants such mems services.
