"Threw" Friend in Race.


Powers was charged in 1909 II
swindling in a fake foot race at Coun-
Gil Bluffs, Iowa, in connection with
the Maybray gang. 1t was proved that
after persuading a friend to bet 4
large sum of money on him. Powers,
an expert racer. purposely threw
the race, heightening the deception
by carrying a bulb OF red fluid in his
month, by means of which he simu-
lated a hemorrhage from over-exer-
ton.
Powers appealed on the ground that
he had not been allowed sufficient
time to prepare a defense. The sup
RENE court agreed that time was not
long enough but decided that the cir
cumstances of the case prevented a
reversal.

bowed himself out of the private sane

Powers hung around Chief CLERK
Crawford's office for time and the
men working there were soon ac-

the fellows said jokingly to the appli-
cant for punishment: Il tell yoa,
Powers. you don't always find as hard
time to get in here as you have now.
Some find it mighty easy to get in
but d-d hard to get out" Powers
laughed at this and said that that was
probably the case.

FEAR IS A DAGGER
 THAT MURDERS HAPPINESS

A very interesting article on the effects of fear, by orison Sweet Marden. was published in the Phil adelphia Evening Bulletin, and the following quotations therefrom are worthy of attention;
 Fear, in all it's different phases of expression, such as worry. anx- iety. anger, iealously, timidity. is the greatest enemy of the human race. It has robbed man of more happiness and efficiency, has made more men towards, more people failures, or forced them Into medic crity than anything else.
 Fear has paralyzing, blight iug>iufluence uB.cn the whole be- ing. IL impoecrishes the blood and destroys health by impairing the digestion cutting off nutrition and lowering the physieial and men tai vitahty. It crushes hope, kills courage, aud so enteebles the minds action ,hat it cannot create or produce
 Many people are afraid Of near ly everything They are afraid Of draft. srraid O. getting chilled or taking cold, airaid to eat what they want. to venture in business matters for fear Of losing their mon ey, afraid of public opinion. They have perfect horror Of what Mrs Grundy thinks. They are afraid hard times are coming, afraid of poverty. afraid of failure, afraid the crops are going to fail. afraid of lightning and tornadoes. Their whole lives are filled with fear, Gear, fear.
 Fear strangleS originality, daring, holdness; it kills individuality and weakens all the mental processes. Great things are never done under a sense of fear or some impending danger. All work done when one Is suffering from a sense of fear or foreboding has little efficiency. Fear always indicates weakness. the presence of cowardice. What a slsughterer Of years, what sacri- ficer of happiness and ambitious, what a ruiuer of careers this mon. Ster has been.
