a WOMAN found herself
living in a world of fear.
Wherever she turned she saw a
menace. And within she felt a
continual threat of danger. She
began to think that she was in
the grip of a malevolent fate. At
last the moment came when she
found her torment unbearable.
Helplessly, she considered what
she should do. Should she yield
to fate by giving up her life. Or
should she overcome her fear?
The Washington herald., 1914-11-20

During the next few days she was aware of her
fears But they not close they had been
so threatening They also seemed different in their
attitude toward her, less vndictve less concerned
with singing her out for their prey She had a
curious impulse call them that she was ready to
take whatever they kept in hiding. Meanwhile. she
went with her daily affairs She noticed that she
had become efficient Instead Of fixing part OF
her mind those fears, she could concentrate on
the task in hand As the change continued she often
caught herself smiling She felt If little springs of
happiness were bubbling in her mind and sending
health through her whole being
One day the woman met the greatest of those
fears 1t stood in her way
Long ago told you that was coming. it said.
"You thought YOU could keep me out, didn't you'"
Steadily she looked at the misshapen creature,
hdeous OF face, leerng. IF you are real | am not
afraid OF you. There is power within that gives
strength greater than yours. And if you are only
a fear you are nothing
Instantly the fear vanished
That encounter gave the woman greater conf
dence She felt as if she had won a triumph over
herself. She gazed on the world and saw for the
first time how wonderful it was and how beautiful
1t il dark veil had fallen from her eyes. She
looked around and she saw a multitude of people
going about with the light OF the world darkened by
wells She longed to call to them take the wells
off and TO She decided that the best she could do
would be to reflect the marvelS not in words but in
her response to the Joy OF living
One day. when she feeling particularly we'll,
she felt the presence OF something curious like
of those old fears and yet unlike 1t stood there.
mighty figure Of face, but repulsive as the
other had been Are YOU afraid" it said
NO" she replied and she held out her hand.
They stood together their hands clasped
You are brave woman" said the presence with
a smile that had kind of radiance
The woman shook her head Co. no. But am
happy in being a part of the universal plan Tell
me what | must do | have received much
should like to give something in return
Those who without fear always giving
said the presence, And those who receive me as
you are doing teach mankind how to live Let US
work together and make this visitation not a curse,
but a bles sing"

1t is. of course, idle for any sensible con-
tend that rapid decline of great trade balance
in favor year ago last October to the steady
drift OF trade balance against u.s. which made its
appearance in April of the present year and has
tinued up to a month or so ago. has been due to the

tax OF course, it is not tax but deficiency
tax 1t is worse than childish to try and make any
thing else out of it
The trouble about this matter is that there is a
strong likelihood that this kind of showing in for
eign trade balances is going continue 1t is true
that in the last few weeks the tendency has been
versed BY the enormous rush of war purchases here
by Europe and these purchases will probably hold
pretty steadily as long the lasts. But the

When it does our newly found export trade is likely
to vanish overnight
Those who care 10 null the statistics of the
matter will find that. with the exception of cotton

Tragedy In BlOunt.

On Sunday night at Carpenters
Camp Ground seven miles south
west of Maryville, Ollie Spradling
was shot and instantly killed by
Hugh Everett at the Carpenters
Camp Ground Church. From re-
ports it seems that the boys who
were rivals for the band of the same
young lady, a Miss Viva Carpenter,
the sixteen years old daughter OF
Ada Carpenter. and became angered
or incensed over the fact which one
should accompany the young lady
home from church Report says
that Spradling attacked Everett,
striking him in the face with brass
knucks bruising him considerably,
and then Everett drew his gun,
firing three shots which ended the
life of Spradling, who fell in his
tracks. Everett then went home
with the girl and returned asking
about the damage occurred to Spradl'
ing. Sheriff Webb and officers Long
and Taylor were on spot within
short time and brought Everett to
Maryyille, where he was placed in
the county Jail. A preliminary
hearing will be given Everett Satur-
day morning in Maryville, under
Esq. Hannah, Messrs Gamble q
Crawford, attorneys at law, will
counsel the defendant.
The two young men are nineteen
years old and are said to have many
friends in their vicinity, The de-
plorable tragedy is deeply regretted
by all, as both parties belong to
prominent and we'll. TODD families,
and a gloom is cast over the neigh
borhood.
