An English writer on professional
Beauties defines the kinds Of beauty
now most in vogue as ':the weird, mys-

of excessive youth or absolute giddi-
ness"
"A countryman and his wife we're
In room in a city hotel, and the Texas
Siftings reports the following conversa-
ton: "Abner, what is all this heap of
rope piled up here by this winder?"
Abner-''That's one of these frees
cape things" ''Now, Abner, do you
know how to use it if the house ketches
fire?" Abner-"Of course I do. You
just tie one end of it to a leg of the bed
and then take holt of the other end and
jump outen the winder." III
The quantity OF food necessary to
support the colossal frame of the ele-

james and John are good names
for boy. yet James appears to be a
better surname than any other for a.
candidate for President of the United
States. We have had as many as five
Jameses in the Presidential chair
within this century-James Madison,
james Monroe. James X. Polk, James
Buchanan and james A. Garfield.
Moreover. the father of President
James Madison was named james Mad
ison and the father of President James
Buchanan was named James Bu-
chanan. After the Jameses the Johns
have panned out next best-John
Adams, John Q. Adams and John TYLER.
"A story is told of a colored
preacher whose church had become
somewhat dilapidated. The minister
succeeded at last in persuading the
people to decorate the walls, but funds
gave out and they left large recess
behind the pulpit unimproved. The
patience OF the preacher gave way be-
fore this evidence OF want of proper
respect for the church, and at the close
of his sermon one Sunday morning he
very solemnly announced: ''Brederen,
notice is hereby given that the Gospel
Will not be dispensed wifi in dis church

There is something the matte,
with man who turns up his nose al
tree planting. His liver is bad, or his
appetite is poor, or he is over
worked and disguised at something
he may not know what. A months
outing is what he needs. Give him
fishing tackle and pass and send him
out where the trout flirts with the flv,
where the daisies bloom, where the
bobolink bobs, and the shade of a tree
is worth more per foot front than a
corner lot in New York. A few weeks
of this kind of life will fix up his liver,
restore his lost appetite, clear his
vision and conscience, and make him a
candidate for the Presidency of the
next forestry congress- Trib.
