The Power
Of Confidence.

A mans achievement can never rise
higher than his confidence.
Every time you acknowledge weak
ness, deficiency or lack of ability or or.
opportunity or harbor doubt, you
weaken your self confidence, and that
is to weaken the very foundation, the
very possibility, of achievement.
You might as we'll expect to get over
the Alps by sitting down, declaring the
undertaking too great for you, that
you can never accomplish it, that you
are afraid Of the avalancbes and Of
getting lost, is to hope to attain sue
cess in life while holding to doubts and
fears of your ability to do what you
undertake.
To allow yourself to admit that you
are inferior to any emergency con-
fronting you is to invite defeat.
The moment you harbor doubt Of
your ability, that moment you capitu-
late.
The positive man may have some
unpleasant qualities, but he is the man
wanted everywhere. He who is fear
less, with conviction born of the con-
fdence Of strength. is the one trusted
to achieve in every line of endeavor.
The world stands aside for the man
who has a fixed purpose, a mission, a
calling to do that which he feels a
throbbing compulsion within him to do.
One Of the best ways to strengthen
character and develop stamina gen

TWO 5rothers.
Ezra Haskins was feller
With a disposition meller;
Never graspin,; never greedy,
Always helped the poor and needy.
Ezra made an honest million,
And he may have made billion
If he hadn't always parted
In a manner open hearted
With such lib'ral wads of Doodle.
Never got it in his noodle
That Dame Fortunes always tickle,
And he should save every nickel
When twas too late to repent it.
They found that he had spent it
All that he'd accumulated.
Carriage to the poor house waited.
Ezra passed to life eternal
And the home towns weekly journal
Hardly gave him any mention,
1t attracted no attention.
1t was just a Village Jottin'
Poor old Ezra was forgotten.
Hiram Haskins, Ezra's brother,
Seemed like he was of another
Breed of cattle-and he looked it.
If there was a cent he hooked it.
He was misery and graspin',
And his voice was hard and raspin'.
He was always with the bidders
On the mortgages of wldders.
ne grew IlOSI dIIldZlH wealthy
In a manner sharp and stealthy.
Even when so rich he couldn't
Count his piles of gold he wouldn't
Give niclxle to the needy,
He was that tarnation greedy.
But the folks all catered to him,
And gave him all honors due him,
And his funeral was glorious,
Like an emperor's victorious;
And the paper had a column
OF a notice sad and solemn,
And the whole town joined in griev-
ing
Ger the old man that was leaving.
We don't know what happened TO 'err
When they both got what was due
EN-,
But We'll bet old Hi is wishin'
For change in his condition
Wishin' the eternal graces
Would let him and Ez trade places.

Miss Anna Peabody, who is cook at

the championship. For some time
there has been a keen rivalry among
the country hotel proprietors to fur

Miss Peabody evolved the pleasant
and practical idea of slicing the beef
with a safety razor, and she can now
slice it so thin that it looks as though
it were etched or photographed on the

WEDNESDAY. JULY "a, 1912.
Congress Touching
Holy Things.

Those gentlemen Of reactionary ten
denotes who imagine such halo Of
sanctity and glory to hang around
courts and judges are perhaps hor-
rihed at the lower house Of congress
voting with practical unanimity to i'm
peach Federal Judge Archibald for mis-
behavior in Office.
After the house Of representatives
passed the resolution to impeach Arch
bald by a vote of all members except
one. it will probably be next winter
before the matter is tried out in the
senate.
Even then he will not be removed
from Office until it is legally proven
that he is guilty of the counts in the
impeachment proceedings and then it
will be seen that he will be given the
benefit Of every technicality.
without in the least attempting to in
fuence the opinion of any senator who
may be called on to vote In this mat
ter, it may be said that the people of
his district and of the entire country
some time ago made up their minds
that Judge Archibald is not a suitable
person to sit upon the federal bench.
If the people had the right to elect
their judges and to recall them when
their misbehavior demanded such a
course, it is highly improbable in the
first place that Judge Archibald would
have been elected, but having reached
the bench and shown a prediction for
making decisions to suit his personal
ends, he would doubtless be recalled
by popular vote.
The sanctity Of judges and the sa-
credness of courts is a fetch that is
fast losing it's potency to deceive.

J. D. FISH IS DEAD
Failure of His Bank Wrecked
General Grants Fortune.
Since Release From Prison He
Lived Quietly.

New York, March S0.-The death in a
secluded Brooklyn suburb of James
Dean Fish, SO years old, became known
today through announcements in the
newspapers Fish was president of the
old Marine bank. the failure of which
in 1884 was marked by scenes of dis
order never equalled in Wall street. The
closing of the bank swept away the
savings of General U. s. Grant and the
investigation which followed sent Fish
to Auburn prison and Ferdinand Ward,
Grants partner, to Sing Sing.
Fish and Ward planned by a series Of
daring speculative operations, to make
the firm of Grant & Ward the most
powerful financial institution in the
country The firm was originally COM
posed of L. s. Grant, jr., and Mr.. Ward.
Then General Grant, who had retired
from the presidency several years be-
fore, bought a share in the business
General Grant. never keen business
man, was deceived. and finally there
came the fitful fizzle in Wall street, fol-
lowed by the crash.
After his release from prison on a
pardon granted by President Cleveland.
Fish lived in strict seclusion and spent
much of his time in his library. He
had a rare collection of books and old
prints.
