TELLS OF coKQuERlNe FEAR
Man Who Won Success Explains How.
Through VIII Power, He ovsrosms
the Handicap Of Dlffidenes.

Not long ago the editor OF Q news
paper asked one OF his reporters to
interview man who has made his
mark In three fields OF endeavor: law.
politics and business. At first the man
declined TO be interviewed. but on the
reporters third attempt to see him he
let him In.
"Now. young man." he began, by
way OF greeting. II haven't time to
talk with you, but I'll do II on one
condition, and that is that you stick
to one question"
The reporter accepted the terms
with alacrlty. This was the young
mans question:
"What was the most difficult thing
you ever did3"
"Well," said the man after n mo-
ment OF thought. II should say tho
most difficult thing l have ever done
was to cure myself of the habit Of
difiidence.
"From my boyhood." the business
man went on, ~ was sensitive and
shy to marked degree. My parents
early recognized that trait in me and
sheltered me all they could from hard
knocks. My mother especially would
do anything to keep me from suffer-
Ing.
THAT showed her love and indul-
gence, but II didn't help to make n
man of me. AS I grew up my diff
dence became more marked. Many
and many venture refused TO en-
ter upon because. as told myself, I
was afraid was afraid of events;
was afraid Of men. was in dar-
ger OF failure everywhere.
"Then one day I picked up a copy
or Emerson. and this Is what I read:
DO what you are afraid to do I
took II to heart. or course l knew
that II doesn't mean you should be
reckless. II means this: when you're
on the right road and are sure OF II,
don't be frightened of into some side
track just because the walking Is
easier.
Young man. II took time; II took
nerve; II you will. II entailed suffer-
ing; but I cured myself OF that habit
OF difidence. have been In some
mighty tight places; I've had TO face
desperate men and stand alone In des-
perate positions; but I've carried out
my program. I've done the things
right along that I've been afraid OF.
and consequently there are now few
things left that I am afraid off,

READY FOR TARVIA
WITHIN Three WEEKS
Machine Now At Berea and Plans
Are Being Made To Have 1t
Brought Here Soon

Work on the street extension in the
city of Richmond and that of the
roads of the county is expected to be
started within period of three
weeks. The machinery, which has
been in this part of the state for some
time, is at Berea. 1t will be employ
ed there for a week perhaps, after
which it will be taken to Clark coun-
ty. There two weeks work awaits it
and the crew of men placing the
tarvia. This will bring the work up
to Madison county, and it is believed
both the city and county will be ready
for the beginning of the work by
this time.
The machine and men will be
brought to this county, and after the
material here is ready for the start
the city streets will be the first given
attention. Otherwise, the county
roads will be the first treated. There
are many calls for the tarvia in the
COuHGIy oIt Clle HldCIlne, dS well 3S
the crew, is expected to be engaged
there for some time. There are also
several placs in the city where tar
via will be placed and this will be
given attention at the earliest possi-
bic moment in order to complete the
work by the arrival of
cold weather.
Councilman Charles Terrill has ar
ranged for the tarvia, and has assur-
ed residents of the city that they will
be given all they desire for streets.
1t is expected the extension method
will be applied to about three miles
of streets in and adjoining that of
the country highways and will form
a number OF very attractive entrances
to the city. This connection with the
country from the asphalt streets of
the city will render the roadways in
and about the city for several miles
in very good order, it is believed
There has been sufficient quantity
Of tarvia purchased by the city for
use on the streets where it is desired
this fall, and it viii be distributed and
applied in due time.

SOLDIERS COMING
TO ATTEND SCHOOL
Rooms Assured and Ex-service
Men VIII Be Assigned Some
Time This Week

An order has just been sent out
to Washington from Richmond to
the effect that accommodations
have been procured here for at
least 40 eX-service men, veterans
Iof the late war, who are anxious
to take advantage of the voca-
tional training offered by Uncle
Sam, and they will begin to ar
rive within few days. There
will perhaps be so and possibly
more, in all.
The reservations were procured
upon the part of Secretary Stone
Norman. of the local Red Cross
bureau, and appeals made through
the press.
The manner in which the men
are assigned to this schooling is
in squads of not less than 40. AS
many will be sent over that num-
Der as can be provided for. This
rs the first time Richmond has
been called upon to secure reser-
vations, and the columns of the
Daily Register from time to time
have contained detailed informa-
tlon relative to the requirement.
The men will be summoned from
this the Seventh District. com
prising Ohio, Indiana, and Ken
tucky. They will be assigned by
the government, from the Wash
ington office and report here ac-
cordingly. Since some of the men
are married, he will, in some in
stances, be accompanied by his
wife
During the campaign for rooms
there were a number who were
deslrOuS of having married men III
their homes. This will admit of
married man bringing his wife
with him. All men are special
compensation men and have been
more or less injured while in ser
vice. This is the first assurance
that Richmond will accommodate
a squad, since repeated attempts
to gain accommodations owing to
the crowded conditions of the
city, were necessary. The men
will report to Secretary Norman
who will assign them to their
during their stay in
Richmond, and he will accept all
rooms offered. Fair prices are
paid for the accommodations, the
veterans receiving their compen-
sation regularly and in sufficient
not to render them de-
pendent.

READY FOR FIRE BUG

A fusillade of shots rang out in
the stiffness of the night at a late
hour Sunday, in the neighborhood
.Of West Main and North streets.
1t seemed that there was vo11ey
of firing, followed by another in
response. 1t developed that see
ing a couple of men prowlin9
about his rear premises, Attorney
a. r. Burnam had brought out the
old shot gun and fired into the air,
to scare them off. But the "sus-
picious character" were two po-
licemen who were patrolling the
residential section, on the lookout
for the ''fire bug" who is suspect
ed OF having caused several dis
astrous blazes in the city within
him know that they were armed
ing Mr.. Burnam, the policemen
thought they had perhaps located
the man and that he was firing at
them. They pulled their guns and
they, too, fired into the air to let
him know that they were armed
and ready for him, and weren't
to be scared off with a little
shooting. Explanations were soon
made, however, things quieted
down. and night-capped heads
were withdrawn from scores Of
windows.
