Theory to the World.
You great. big clodhopper" shrick-
ed slender-visaged female. upon
whose aqu!line nose pair of gold eye
glasses were cramped, us she nearly
pushed q conductor Of q Madison av.
enue car the other day.
Il beg your pardon. ma'am. but /
did not intend TO step on your foot. 1t
was merely an accident"
"Well, why don't you look where
your going. and you won't make such
fool Of yourself?" calculated the in
jured female.
While a reporter was unavoidably
listening to the foregoing dialogue he
felt some one tugging at the sleeve Of
his coat and, turning around, saw q
well-known physician who figures
prominently in the law courts as an en-
Cert upon insanity.
THAT carries out my idea exactly
observed the doctor.
What idea is that?" asked the re-
porter.
THAT women's tempers como from
their cOrpOrOsity." he continued. "A
fat woman is good tempered and easy
going; it is natural that she should be
50. | think the temper is all In the
bones, any way, and when a woman Is
fat the temper becomes absorbe, be-
fore it reaches the surface. Perhaps
that's IA funny theory, young man. and
you newspaper fellows are the hardes,
lot 10 get new idea into. especially
when an old man is the authority fcr
its evolution. Eh; am right?'
The reporter demurrcd.
when woman Is thin the temper
il on the surface" the doctor contin-
ued: ''when fat woman has "a higl.
temper it is something terrible. She
never cOOls. On the other hand. q
thin woman cOOls off quickly. but she
heats up again just as quickly. a thin
woman with y good temper comes just
as near being an angel rs any body car

HOME, SWEET HOME.
A story from Georgia That IL Pleasa
Enough TO IBe True.

A story from Georgia That Il Pleasant
Enough to lSe True.
The little city of Dalton, in North
Georgia. l2j miles south Of here. rich
in war memories. has other traditions
OF a moro pleasant kind. and among
them is one about John Howard Payne.
When the Cherokees were cOrraled for
expectation from North Georgia and
East Tennessee to what is now Indian
Territory Payne was one Of the whites
at the frontier settlements of Cross
Plains, located where Dalton now
stands. Many of the Indians. 10th to
leave the homes Of their childhood
and of their tribe for generations, tried
very ingenious methods of dodging
officers. Payne several times shielded
them. Complaint was made against
him. a warrant was issued. and
he was arrested afterwagd by
Sheriff Underwood at the home Of
old John Ross. hereditary chief Of the
Cherokees. whose log cabin still stands
in the now suburbs Of Chattanooga.
Payne. evidently with the thoughts OF
the homeless Indians in his mind, be-
gan to sing the first stanza of his now
world-famous song. then unpublished,
Home, Sweet Home" The pioneer
sheriff stood stiff as the words fell
upon his ear.
What song is that?' he asked, as
the first verse ended.
Its . little composition of my own"
answered Payne.
''Sing me some increasing all Of IT,"
exclaimed the fruntiersman.
And Payne did sing it. with such
spirit and understanding that the
sheri6s iselings got the better OF him.
a,d hs tsld Payne he could help the
Indians as much as he pleased.-aas-
