Whereupon the admiral wrote: "Ad-
miral Erben. United States navy, re-
grets that Captain Mahan, his flag cap
tain, cannot accept the invitation Of
the duke of Blank. Captain Mahan is
on the sick list"
An hour or so later messenger
from the duke returned with invita-

AFTER THE FOURTH.

Another Fourth of July has been
added to the honor of the makers OF
the Declaration of Independence. At
Hayti all was quiet. The picnic in
the grove north of town given by
local people was reasonable sue
cess. Some 1000 attended, and IL
there was nothing else to enjoy, the
meeting together Of neighbors was
we'll worth the time and expense
each gave toward adding to the
pleasure of the day. The floods OF
rain Sunday, Sunday night and Mon
day made the roads soft and very
greatly assume a cause to decrease
the crowd and lessen the attractions
the managers had provided for the
occasion. There we're, also, pfcnfcs
in several of the surrounding COM
munities, but those attending the
others say that Hayti had by far the
largest crowd. The success of oc-
casions of this sort are dependent
more than anything else upon the
conditions of the weather. and TAX
ing it all together, the day at Hayti
was all that any reasonable person
could expect.

FEAR CALLED WORST ENEMY
Its 6anishment From Among the
Human Race Would Be Wonder.
ful Step In Evolution.

The greatest enemy of the human
race is fear.
If we could Danish fear in all Its
forms Is would mean more to civilza-
tion than any previous step In evolu-
ton. Health would be immeasurably
improved; much unhappiness would be
wiped out; efficiency would be greatly
increased, and success would be the
rule. With the removal of fear would
come real human brotherhood. True
democracy would begin.
II you are not as well, as happy, as
efficient or as successful as you would
like to be, you may find the why IN
your fears.
'As man thinketh in his heart, so
is he"-physically, in disposition and In
circumstances. Fear-thought Is toxic,
destructive and harmful. Some forms
Of fear-tliought are worry, hatred, jeal-
ousy, despair. anger, melancholy. dis
cOuragement, depression, confusion,
negativeness, nervousness. fretfulness,
self-consciOusness, lack Of self-confi-
dence and fOreboding.
Fear Of failure is also caused by not
thinking we'll enough Of oneself. To
Danish this and all other forms Of fear,
one needs another kind Of thinking. Re
place fear-thoughts with faith-thoughts
and systematically cultivate the new
line Of thinking until 1t gets to be q
habit.
Take a mental inventory today! Seek
out your hidden mental weaknesses
and expose them to the light Of fear.
less analysis. Get to work upon your
fears and run them out. Flood your
whole mental region with faith.
Repeat daily and the results will
amaze you.-Forbes' Magazine.

sabbath Days Journey"

"A Sabbath days journey" was the
distance that the law Of the Jews (evl-
IDENTIFY also Of the early Chrlstians)
permitted one to walk on Sunday.
In Acts 1:l2, the Sabbath days
journey is placed ut the distance of
Mount Olivet from Jerusalem.
Any one could walk the distance
from the city around the suburbs, and
by the rule of the Leyites this distance
was fixed at a circumference the
radius Of which was 1000 cubits.
The Talmud places the Sabbath days
journey at twelve miles.-London Tit
