What would you tMink" of a
young man, ambitious to become
a lawyer, who should surround
himself with a medical atmos
phere and spend his time reading
medical books? asks Orison Swett
Marden, in Success. Do you think
he would ever become a great
lawyer by following such a course?
No, he must put himself into a law
atmosphere, where he can absorb
it and be steeped in it until he is
attuned to the legal note. He
must be grafted into the legal
-tree so that he can feel its sap cir
culating through him.
How long would it take a young
man to become successful who
puts himself into an atmosphere
of failure and remains in it until
he is soaked to saturation with
the idea? How long would it take
a man who depreciates himself,
talks of failure, walks like a fail
ure, and dresses like a failure
who is always complaining of the
insurmountable difficulties in his
way, and whose every step is on
the road to failure how long
would it take him to arrive at the
success goal? Would anyone be
lieve in him or expect him to win?
The majority of failures began
to deteriorate by doubting or de
predating themselves, or by los
ing confidence in their own ability,
The moment you harbor doubt
and begin to lose faith in yourself,
you capitulate to the enemy.
Every time you acknowledge
weakness, inefficiency, or lack of
ability, you weaken your self-con
fidence, and that is to undermine
the very foundation of all achieve
ment. -
So long as you carry around a
failure atmosphere, and radiate
doubt and discouragement, you
will be a failure. Turn about face,
cut off all currents of fail
ure thoughts, of discouraged
thoughts. Boldly face your goal
with a stout heart and a deter
mined endeavor, and you will find
that things will change for you;
but you must see a new world be
fore you can live in it. It is to
what you see, to what you believe,
to what you struggle incessantly
to attain, that you will approximate.

Even the great personality of
Lincoln, now potent in so many in

leader and shepherd of men. Out
ardly at least his experience was
limited as theirs was. Dvino: i

armies and of navies, he was still

American life was still, in a senst'.

Advices from Washington are
to the effect that the government
of the Netherlands has offered a
prize of 6,000 florins, some 2,000
in the currency of this country, for
complete solution of the prob
lem involved in the setting and re
setting of diamonds without in
curring the danger of lead poison
ing.
It is to be feared that nobody
will come forward to claim this
reward. For years scientists on
both sides of the water have been
experimenting with a view to rem
edying the defects of diamonds,
eliminating their dangerous prop
erties, but thus far their efforts
have not been productive of the
desired results. Many diamonds,
particularly the larger stones,
can be set without the metallic
background which threatens the
health of the gold and silver
smiths, but in every instance they
lose their brilliancy, and, at
tached to the shirt bosoms of
"dressy gentlemen" or the bod
ices of portly dowagers and ma
trons attract scarcely more at
tention than window glass. Four
and even six-karat white dia
monds, shorn of a thin, filmy un
der surface of lead or lead and tin
composition, frequently become
transparent and fail to refract the
light. Unhooked and presented
as pledges after banking hours
these gems are appraised at from
$2.45 to $3.60 a quart, which is but
a tithe of their apparent value.
The lead which enters into dia
monds of "purest ray serene" not
only imperils the lives of those
who handle them for the market,
out also stains the clothing of
those who wear them. Some little
time ago the French ' bureau of
chemistry announced that it would
give 50,000 francs to the person
who would devise a process which
would free diamonds from the
taste peculiar to alum which
many of them possess, but the de
partment mentioned still has the
money. -
FIND TREASURE OF A KING
Hoard
of Gold, Ivory and Precious
Stones Lies Hidden in.
African Soil.
R. D. BURGESS. M. D.
Office over Blackledge Furniture Store,
Office hours : glO to 12 and S to 5.1
Treasure hunting continues to
occupy the attention of many peo
pie in various parts of the world,
A hoard of buried wealth not as
well known as certain others is
that supposed io have been se
creted by Lobengula, king of the
Matabele in Souli Africa, before
he met his death at the hands of
the British. This treasure is said
to consist of gold, ivory and pre
cious stones. It was brought into
the limelight of public notice not
long ago by the arrest of a Dutch
man named John Jacobs. He ar
rived at Bulawayo, told some
thing of his plans, was put into
what they call the "goal" and has
since been deported.
Lobengula succeeded his father
as king of the Matabele in 1870
and boldly opposed European civ
ilization. He made Bulawayo his
capital. After the discovery of
gold in his territory in 1872, Por
tugal, the Transvaal and Great
Britain strove to win the supreme
control over Lobengula's king
dom. In 1888 he signed a treaty
with Great Britain, admitting her
suzerainty. In 1893, provoked by
the insolence of the British South
Africa company, he attacked the
English. He was terribly beaten
His capital was taken and in his
flight he himself was killed.
John Jacobs, the treasure seek
er, was a school-teacher. He
claims to have been private secre
tary to King Lobengula and that
in this way he learned where' the
treasure was hid. The Bulawayo
authorities, however, discovered
that he had a bad record. Hence
his deportation. "Jacobs is an el
derly man, bearing evidence of
long exposure to wind and
weather. The treasure is still to
be found.

may recall the lace-bark clot Iiin
of the natives clothing of a re .-,
brown color when new, of 1 eor..

odor, like freshly cured tobacco
leaf. The native tapa cloth, as i;
is called, is made from the bail-:
of the brusonetia papirifera, bu;
it is not usually included among
the real lace-bark trees.
In its natural state the real lace
bark is of a delicate cream-white
tint. It is probably a kind of
fibrous pith. When the outer bark
is removed it can be unfolded and
unwound in one seamless piece,
having a surface of a little more
than a square yard. Washing and
sun bleaching give it a dazzling
white appearance. The fabric is
airily light. It is used in the West
Indies for mantSlas, cravats, col
lars, cuffs, window curtains in a
word, for every purpose that or
dinary lace is used. In making up
shawls, veils and the like it is cus
tomary to piece two sheets of lace
bark together.,. Delicate and ap
parently weak as it is in single
mesh, a bit of lace-bark, if rolled
into a thin string, will all but re
sist human strength to break it.
; Despite its practical use there
is no essential demand for lace-
l bark. It has been used oy the na
tivesforhundreds of years and yet
is comparatively little known to
this day. A few specimens of lace
bark articles exist in different
countries of Europe. These were
made hundreds of years ago, yet,
although their age is considera
ble, they are said to be in a good
state of preservation.

will cause several plays on the

is authoritively stated that ar
rangements have been perfected
whereby Moses Bros, will soon
move into other quarters.
We understand that carpenters
are to go to work at once at the
task of repairing and making
such improvements as Moses
Bros, desire in tbe Fisher Brick.
This firm will have the two large
rooms lust south of the Bemoan
grocery.
When this move is made it is
understood that C. A. Gerhard
will move his stationary store
into tne building vacated by
Moses Bros. We are also in
formed that Milton Morgan will
move his business into a part of
this building. These changes
are expected to cccur within a
