DREAD DEATH COMING
FEAR DEEPLY IMPLANTED IN The
HEARTS OF ALL.
Some More Effected by Loss Of Honor,
a Visit to Dentist, or Bank
ruptcy, but Few Deliber-
ately End II All.
ROBT. DUNLOP,
State Treasurer

Probably the first thought OF every
reasonable man in reading the dreary
details of the disaster to the Titanic
was: What would have done in the
same circumstances? Probably his
second bore the hope In all humility
that il such circumstances should arise
for him he would behave without too
much of the awkwardness of panic.
Only fool would haphazard a predic-
tion of his conduct in the face of
peril so unexpected and attended by
the terrors of midnight and the sea.
1t is no discredit to the human race to
say that cowardice is gift from the
devil which has been impartially dis.
tributed among mankind.
Every man who thinks at all is
afraid Of death He may be more afraid
of something else. or loss of honor,
health or money. or going to dentist,
or, like the man in Plckwick, OF life
without buttered mullins, but he
chooses death only as bad alterna-
tive for worse. II he is not afraid of
one thing you may be sure he is afraid
of another.
A man will go up to the clouds in a
balloon who wouldn't so down into
twenty feet of water in a submarine.
A steeplejaek may be afraid of dogs
and lion tanner of riding in an eleYa-
tor. We know man who has made a
great reputation for GOODNESS under fire
in battle, who gibbers with fear when
ever he has the stomach ache. One
man fears fire, another burglars, an
other railway trains. another measles.
Conduct in an emergency depends
on many things besides those abstract
qualities known as "cowardice" and
courage" A man is apt to act calmly
when his surroundings, at the time the
peril presents itself, are customary
and familiar, when his nerves happen
to be sound. or when he has time to
mediate on his action and weigh care
1 fully its consequences.
4 Again man may be persuaded to
shame or glory, as the case may be, by
The example Of his neighbor One per.
son afflicted by binding fear may turn
a hundren men into panic stricken
mob or he may convert them into a
throng of heroes through their very
horror of his conduct Aud one man
who has established his moral equilib-
rum quickly can instantly convey for
titude TO the. others. Courage and
cowardice both like company P.

Testimony of the Blind.


Before the trial was half ended II
was apparent that most credence was
placed in the testimony for the de
fendant.
That is because he has two blind
men testifying for him." said a man
who has served on many juries.
When it comes to a question of mem
ory the word of blind man goes
further in courtroom than that of a
rerson with good eyes. 1t is with the
jurymen that his testimony really
counts, but the Judge and lawyers are
also impressed. This is taking into
consideration, of course, that the blind
man has reputation for veracity
We assume that with the loss of one
faculty Others have developed. What
a man cannot see he hears, and his
mind stores up. Our faith in the re
tentiveness of blind mans memory
has been frequently justified. Where
a person with all his senses would be
come confused and testify vaguely
The blind man can repeat converse
ton verbatim"

This strange combination of busi-

at Hockley-in-the-Hole, applied to the
landlord of the Castle for a temporary
accommodation on the security of his
watch and chain BY royal warrant a

Others in this state who are as deeply

of books offered, to the end that they
might make an intelligent and econom-

this fact and stated in the presence of
the board that you were satisfied that
an honest and fair adoption would be
made. Notwithstanding this fact, some
two weeks before we concluded our
work you informed the members of
the board that you would not approve
any bond of sign any contract which
might be made even though 1t saved

communications and criticisms you
have not uttered a single word against

books and the proper classification of
those adopted we have saved the tax

that you are in favor of economy and
still refuse to do your sworn duty, You
have assumed the double attitude of
dictator and self-righteousness; you
have peromptoriy demanded the post

men as honorable as you
claim to be. You turned down the adj
