FEAR i S 0 By THOMAS ARKXE CLARK 3 Daaa of Men, UniTtnity of 2 Illinois. Nothing else so Inhibits progress as fear fear of failure, fenr of people, fear of criticism. fear of what peo ple will say, fear of disease, feat of the unexpect- and of the most trifling and Impossible things. It Is the skeleton sitting across the table from one and mocking him the feast. 1 4i have seen people crushed by It. Incapacitated and mule paralyzed. wholly Ineffective and unlitted for the responsibilities of life. It was fear, so we are told, which drove primitive man to sacrifice fear of the gods and a desire to placate them by offer ing up something of value. It Is a foolish thing In many Instances, which take away Initiative and originality and freedom of action. Mrs. Stnmey Is afraid of mice. Sne cannot remember when she was free from this fear, nor does she recollect what first caused It. She looks fur tively Into every corner when she Is going about the house lest a mouse escape her; she turns dowu the sheets before getting Into bed at night a mouse may have crept In during the day. She sits tense In her chnlr at liome and when calling tion friends, her meneer skirts drawn tightly annul ber limbs, afraid, not realizing thai the mouse, should It appear. Is fur more afraid of her than she of It. Sheldon Is afraid of disease, lie tilmseir really has nothing the matter with him, but his uncle died of can cer a few years ago and ever since Sheldon has been haunted by the thought thnt be, too, will shortly suc cumb to the same hideous disease. He exaggerates every symptom, tie grows cold with feur at nny localized .a In, he examines every abrasion, and shudders when he finds a mole on .irv part of his body. He has little eace of mind night or day fear of ills ease paralyzes him. Miss I-enoi Is afraid of what peo f ie will say. Maybe her remarks at the sewing society were too personal, too direct. Perhaps she should n' have expressed herself so categorical ly.. She said something very compli What Shall ths ,?

Porlos were lowered quickly, encir cling the entire school with seine, and three hours later the Clifton sailed Into Cold Spring Harbor, the deck waist deep In bluetlsh. Captain Peter, son was at the wheel, a black cat perched on his shoulder. The catch, the record of the season, filled more than 400 barrels and brought JT.iKKl at the docks. The crew raised a fund to buy the cat, now the pet of the ship, a silk cushion, several cases of condensed milk and plenty of can openers. mentary she recnlls, her face growing hot, concerning the new minister, and he Is not married. What will people say J Will they think she Is setting her cap for him? Horrors! Fear takes her into Its clutches. She Is almost afraid to walk down the street she has done the wrong thing, she has spoken Indiscreetly. Dudley has always been terrorized by the thought of poverty. He has never wanted anything; he has been In comfortnhle circumstances oil his life, but constantly there Is before him the dread of bankruptcy. Crops will fall, prices will run down, his cred itors will become Insolvent, the bank In which his funds are deposited will fall a thousand things are sure to conspire against him and In his old age he will be a mendicant, a beggar on street corners, an Inmate of the poor house. To his dying day he will live In fear of poverty. Courage! What a wonderful weapon It Is with which to fight these useless fears which at one time or another possess us all ! l. 1329.
