those of their friends whom they could

officer Herman Sehnert had a chase
of over half a mile this morning which,
while it resulted in the capture OF the
pursued man, has nevertheless proved
fruitless thus far. About O'Clock. as
the officer was walking along Tween
tieth street, he saw a man who was in
the act of opening the door to go into
the Duetsch pawn shop between Third
and Fourth avenues suddenly stop
and take notice of the approach of the
policeman. The fellow then closed the
door with a bang, turned on his heel
and started up the street as though he
had seen Satan himself. The officer
did not know the man but his act was
so suspicious that he decided to arrest
him and in minute the marathon was
on. The stranger proved a good run

NO CHARGE AGAINST HIM.
He was piled with questions by the
officer. but beyond giving the name of
Frank Jordan. he would say little, and
there was nothing as far as could be
seen on which to bring charges against
him. He had a grip in his possession
during the chase and this had lent sus-
picion to him, but an examination of
it showed that it's contents were only
old clothing. Nevertheless Of1cer

President Taft eulogized the char

paid a high tribute to his attitude on
the commercial expansion of the
country, with particular reference to
the declarations in favor OF reciproc-

Kinley at the Pan-American EXPOSE

TO YOUNG MEN.

Weston, the grand old man who at
the age of seventy-one walked tWlca
across the continent, says in an adj
dress to young men:
ST never in my life walked for mo1ay
on Sunday"
Why?
Other professionals made money by
Sunday exhibitions or in contests rum
ming over Sunday. -
But Weston says he promised his
old mother years ago he would 'nev-
er walk for pay on the blessed Sab
bath"
Once, he says, he was in Paris and
needed money badly, but refused an
offer of $1,000 which would require
Sunday walking.
In the long run, however, he says he
has profted by his VOW.
His mother was afraid he might be-
come a drunkard or a gambler, as Sc
many professional pedestrians have
become. He says he has enjoyed
health and long life largely because of
his promise.
Surely. /
Did you fancy, young man, that Sun
day is observed simply because 1t is
commanded in the Bible?
Do you not know that the command
ment is in the Bible because the OBJ
servance of it is best for you?
You need Sunday.
Other things being equal, the person
who works six days in the week and
rests on the seventh will do more work
with greater ease and live longer than
the person who works seven days in
seven.
That is scientifically proved.
The commandment is laid in the deep
need of man physically, mentally and
spiritually. And the regularity of its
recurrence is it's greatest boon.
Besides
The man who works without Sunday
rest and recuperatfon is often driven
to stimulants to brace up his impaired
vitality
Weston's mother was wise.
She knew the dangers from over
strain, the temptations to which her
son would be exposed and the tend
eney toward the letting down Of NOR
ais once the barrier of Sunday observ-
ance was thrown down.
Old fashioned?
Yes; the observance of one day in
seven is old fashioned as old as the
experience of the race. And the fash
ion of it cannot be changed by individ-
uals or nations without great harm.
History proves that Therefore
Sacredly observe the day.

FEAR is EVIL.

This is the suggestive picture Of a
modern painting:
Some sayages stand with upturned
faces gazing at an eclipse of the sun.
The sun is partly in shadow. The
weird light reveals the terror written
upon every face.
The picture is named superstition.
The savages are frightened at the
shadow of a shadow passing over the
suns face Fear of something. they
know not what, makes life a fearful
thing.
But, come to think of it
Civilized man is little better in some
respects He, too, is frightened at
shadows His fear is as foolish as that
OF the savage. He works himself into
a mental state where he loses his head;
the fear becomes contagious, and
The panic is born.
The panic is mostly aggregated pes
simism. A group of men get the idea
that money is going to be tight and
interest rates high, They. confide their
fear BY and by men agree that the
outlook is gloomy. 1t becomes gloomy
Credit disappears. In abiect fear the
panic spreads.
Men say. Money is scarce"
It Is not true. There is as much
money in existence as. usual. None has
been destroyed Nevertheless, under
the monstrous fear OF what may be,
hard times" appear
Fear is an evil thing. It makes the
civilized man a victim almost as help
less as the superstitious savage. 1t de-
stroys confidence. It sows distrust. It
paints a shadow on the face of the
sun
Could we Danish fear we could put
civilization ahead thousand years.
Could we cut out pessimism there
never would be another panic.
Therefore the duty of all who love
their fellows and desire the progress
of the race is plain
Preach optimism. Practice it.
Let not pessimism and the fear of
what is not have dominion over you.
Does the shadow of shadow appear
over your SUM- It is only a shadow
and viii rapidly pass.
Laugh at the shadow.
Laugh out loud!
Laughter is contagious, as fear is
contagious. Fear cannot live in the at
mosphere of laughter.
It is in your power to laugh at fool
ISL fears and make the world laugh
with you or TO cringe and cry out your
fears and make the world afraid.

REST AND RELAX.

Alone!
Do you know there are a lot of peo-
pie who pronounce that word with
fear? To be alone, if only for a short
time, is regarded as bore, if not
worse.
You wonder Why7
Because they have never become ac-
quainted with themselves and do not
know how to entertain themselves for
a single hour They really need to be
introduced TO themselves.
Solitude?
There is need of it The mere fric-
ton of mingling with other persons
becomes wearing, however little one
may realize it. And there can be no
