WORTH REMEMBERING.

" He learns 10 limp who liveth with the lama"
So in the Latin recently rchd, u
And who could maxim terser, truer frame
Than the sound counsel thus intorpretedi
IT'S tho old truth expressed in striking
phrase,
That evcrmorc surrounding friends and
facts
Do lower lie, or else life higher raisci
That what one chooses on himself reacts
So books we read do Ger the mind Affect
Tho pure or prurient IN prose or verse;
Tho mind will what is given 1t reflect
AS doth the mirror light received dispurse.
Yea and from trihing things we scarce do
see,
Or deem forgotten quite as soon as seen,
Tho soul impressions takes indelibly-
Tho cameras plato is not moro sure and
keen.
But further still, and moro important far,
The influence Of friend the life displays
Men imitators OF their fellows are
From earliest youth TO manhoods latest
days.
Ali trio the proverb is us quaint It's guise,
And we'll 1t would be did moro heed We
give
To this odd saying, witty yet most wise;
HE learns to limp who with the lamo doth
live"

AT Roman Catholic conference in
Wigan Father Power declared that
''never since Elizabeths reign had the
prospects of the Catholic church been
darker in England" In most parts OF
the country it was not only losing num-
bers relatively but absolutely. Liver
pool was the only diocese which showed
an increase of Catholics, and that was
not in proportion TO the increase OF
population Emigration to America,
apostacy and the aversion of the young
men to matrimony were the reasons.
According to recent summaries the
total estimated circulation of religious
papers published in this country is
very near 1000, 900, which would init
mate that the papers are seen by at
least two or three times that number of
readers. The Roman Catholics head
the list with 1917 papers, having about
$50, 900 circulation, but the Methodists
are close behind them with III papers,
having about $50, 900 circulation. OF

reported that there are now thirty
nine, with 265, 900 subscribers.

THE NAPE OF THE NECK.

A Point That Many Women Entirely
Neglect.
Very few women know how impor
tant the nape of the neck is. If there is
one point of the body that the average
girl neglects and the wise beauty cares
for, it is this spot.
"Why, there is nothing" said q
gorgeous example of the sex, ''that

If the line is graceful, if the skin is

must say that few women have good
napes. A girl who always wears her
dresses cut high to her hair will usually
be dark and unattractive there. There's
nothingl ike the air to purify the skin,
and the more girl lets her neck catch
the breezes the fairer it will get This
is not generally believed, but let
any woman ask herself if the
few dark spots on her are not
| just where the skin has been kept con-
stantly hot and covered. Well, the
nape of the neck is peculiar in this re-
gard. To be white it must be kept free
of woolens and the hair Once given a
good skin the rest is easy. OF course,
the neck shows to the best advantage
when the hair is brushed up and away
from it, but there should be some
tiny little stray thistle-downs of hair
falling away from the rest. These
must be natural, mind, or, at least, just
separated and curled with the fingers

GOT EVEN WITH CABBY.
Played OF Drunk and Trounced Him In
Fine style.

Played OF Drunk and Trounced Him In
Fine Style.
He was drunk, awfully drunk, to all
appearances howlingly, unsteadily
drunk and dressed up He was attired
in the height of summer neglige fash
ion and seemingly not at all sure of his
feet, yet he had some method in his
madness, for he lurched around con-
spicuously in the vicinage of waiting
cab, and when the big policeman told
him to move on he moved toward the
cab.
Cab, sir?'' said the driver. "Han-
som, sir? I'll take you safe home.
Just step in sir, step right in"
"You wait moment. Whazza fare
10 Wash't ton boulvard and May street,
eh?"
"Seventy-fve cents, sir; step in"
"No t'ant. Fares er half-dollar. M
right, err am / wrong?"
"All right, sir amt busy tonight
Half dollar goes"
"All right, sir. Go ahead"
And the driver went ahead.
A gentleman who knew him saw him
half an hour afterward engaged in an
argument with the cabby at the corner
of Washington boulevard and May
street, which at that hour was well
nigh deserted.
"He stepped out of the cab, the spec
tator said, land seemed to be the pos
SCISSOR of gilt-edged jag. | stopped in
the shadow to listen to the argument"
"'Hcre's your half-dollar, cabby.'
'Half-dollar? Looky here! What are
yer given us? A dollar, said
"'No, shir; half-dollars what you
said
"'Comc off, now; ante up that other
half or I'll take it out of yer, see?'
Eyer can't do it. m'z good er man
as you are any day. Half-dollar's all
you get.
"Well, the cabby jumped down off
the box and started for my friend. AS
he did all the indications of the jag left
him instantly. He braced himself, met
the extortioner with smasher on the
jaw that sent him reeling, and followed
it up with couple of lightning punches
that sent cabby to grass in heap
"'Get up, you dirty swindler,' he
yelled. Get up and take some more
out of me. I've been laying for you for
month. Come on
But the cabby didn't come. He
jumped on his box, whipped up his
horse and fed. Then approached and
found my friend in an ecstacy of merri
ment. That fellow licked me once
when had little too much aboard,
he said, and I've been laying to ge
even for month. He extorted dol
lar the last time and BACKED borh my
eyes because / was too full to fight, bu
/ guess I'm even. The ride didn't cos
cent and gave him little more tina,
he gave me the other time. "--Chicag'
