spphtChhy
DEAR FR1ENDs-For the last two weeks
I've been wondering what became of my
New Years greeting. Wonder if it fell by
the way side, or was it weighed in the
balance and found wanting?
Look out, Detective" I'm wondering
why letters sent to the page fail to appear
when there is a shortage OF ii. l.. c. mat
ter. l wonder why newspaper men per-
sist in sending ones paper through the
mail wrapped with the same material.
Wonder if that isn't one cause why the
treasure fails to appear sometimes. Can
it be remedied? OF course not. 1t ought
not to be. 1t might discourage the timid,
but, dear friends, IL won't affect me
that way one bit. That paper I'm going
to have at all hazards, and I'm not going
into Browns studio as long as l can
laugh and enjoy free sunshine on the
outside" although when long continued
enjoyment assumes the negative it
strikes one like an iclcle, feeling its
way down the spinal column without an
introduction. It's not pleasant know,
but does it help the matter n to button
ones self up to the chin in a full suit of
the blues in order to arrive at q happy
state OF mind through a tedious process of
sweat and silence? This plan of enlisting
sympathy and trying to get even with the
world is as old and foolish as the crank
who invented it. If you would shorten the
duration of the sweating stage offer no
soothing syrup. j tried to administer an
opiate once to a self-imposed sufferer.
But the gravity OF the situation upset my
feelings with a big Tia, ha! and you can
imagine the rest.
To AUNT Agnes" ''Browneyed Sadie"
Aunt Peggy" and others whom | cannot
recall now, | will just say the cousins are
busy maturing plans for future expecta-
tions. After they harvest their mistakes
/ may have something to say upon the
subject. Yours very truly.

Wherever true love exists between the
sex all is happiness and serenity, and
where it does not there is discard, brawls,
and sometimes hair-pulling. 1t is certain
that a great number of marriages con-
tracted is because one or both of the
parties are wealthy, and in such cases the
love of the wealth is greater than true
love. The greater part OF our young men
and ladies marry for wealth, and in such
cases true love is lost sight of and a mis-
cradle lie, bitter regrets, and sometimes
divorces are the results.

DEAR II. L. c. FRIESDS-I thought that
it would be better TO leave the question OF
p~hrenology to ADLER pens than mine, but
as my old friend Ida s." has returned
with a long array OF argument against
"bumpolOgy," | wish to offer her my hand
that heartily agree with everything she
has said against that science
"Bumpology' exists only in the fertile
brains OF those who oppose %phrenology.
1t is as mythical as the hero gods of early
Greece. IL is held in utter contempt by
every person who makes any claims even
to IN truth of p~hrenology. To under
stand the science is not necessary. The
first principle teaches us that bumps have
nothing to do with strength. | am sorry,
Ida s. that YOU do not consider the
Grecian custom 4 strong expression. IL
seems 10 me that the Grecian is the grand
est character the world has ever known.
His sculpture has been taken as the
mode OF all ages and The boast of all sue
ceeding times. In art. IN science, in
architecture, in oratory, poetry and phi
losophy Greece was the foremost nation
OF the world. The Grecian nose was the
general type OF the Grecian nation. Ho-
mer, Plato and Aristotle are represented
with this type.
If the brain is the organ OF mind, the
size and shape must have a great deal TO
DO with the mind. Quality and quantity
are the two great essentials in matter. 4
perfectly developed head would have no
prOtuberances. A prominent forehead
does not indicate any excessive intelli-
gence. When you measure from the ears
forward TO the forehead and find the dis

you have a sign of ability. If firmness is

morals he would hardly dare 10 express n
decided opinion on any subject, and would
be OF no use To himself or anybody

1t must be subsiantiated by actual
experiments. We cannot theorize and
bend the science to meet our iavorite
opinions. Ny own knowledge OF il is
slight; | would gladly increase that knowi-
edge would gladly know more OF human

it is in the quieter walks of lifethat her
