Moments That Are Enormously Be-
lieved To Be Spent in Thought.
In private conversation one day
last week one of Chicago's oldest and
most learned physicians gave utter
ance to the following:
"Why is it that when we see per-
son gazing fixedly for several moment s
vt a certain point on tine floor or In
the street, we say ne or she is thinking
hard about something? Nine times in
ten the person thus engaged-or olsen
gaged-is thinking of nothing. At such
times, if you only knew it, the mind is
mapping and there is no thought.
Probably one of the Oldest fads-and
it seems to be nothing more-consists
ofpersons when at such times they are
asked what they are doing saying
thinking ha1d!'
"ln the larger majority of cases
when person is thinking hard or in
tently the eye roams from one object
to another and the hands and feet
are moving more or less.
"The busiest, hardest working brain
in the country insists on taking mo-
mentary maps several times a day.
Just before dropping off into one of
these maps the mind commands the
eye to fix itself upon some object and
stay, thus usually insuring the hold
ing of the head and probably every
part of the body quiet. Then the
mind catches its little nap. These
little mind maps or flashes of rest
may never be more than twenty Sec
onds long, and yet they have been
discovered to do the mind wonder
full amount of good. They never
come to the deranged mind, and it
has also been discovered that the
supposedly sound mind which does
not take them is on the verge of in
sanity" Chicago Tribune.

THE BEAUTY OF WOMEN.

An Interesting Rhapsody From the
Pen OF Ex-Mayor Carter Harrl-
son.
In his Christmas sermon Bishop
Potter mourns because woman has
beauty, and says it "leads her to sin,
and defects the flowing OF life's
stream" He even doubts if it is worth
while to have beauty at ALL"
Bishop, close my eyes and go back
in years to the time when, tiny
baby I lay in a woman's lap. look
up into dark brown eyes, and upon a
face full OF female beauty. can not
speak. My infant tongue can form no
word, but coo out in gentle muir
murs: "My beautiful mother" A
few years roll by. l lie on a rug at q
woman's feet on Il warm summers
day. A dove gently COOS on tree
close by; a cricket chirps on the sum-
mer's hearth, and the old clock in the
corner goes tick-tuck-tick-t tuck
tlck-tuck. The woman gently
huns a sweet song as she fans my
cheek. close my eyes and dream.
| dream of my beautiful mother.
Long years go by. am past a half
century old. l am pressed to wom-
ans heart. She is past three score
years and eighteen. An ocean will
soon divide mother and child. Her
eyes are yet soft and brown; d flush
OF love is upon her,face as she blesses
her son. never saw her again. But
in my heart lives her image-the i'm
age of a beautiful woman. The scene
shifts. l am standing at Gods altar.
l look to my side and see beautiful
girl. AS I placed upon her finger q
circlet OF gold our eyes meet, a flush of
love mantles her cheek, for she knows
l am whispering: "My beautiful wife"
Mother and wife sit now above in
white-robed purity, and, thank God!
both were and both are beautiful.
Bishop, woman's beauty does not
lead her to sin, nor does it defect the
pious flowing of life's stream. Do not
try to teach men that beauty leads to
sin. A French woman once, when
told that something she wanted to do
was naughty, replied, Eyes, but it is
so nice to be naughty" If you teach
men that it is doubtful whether it is
worth while to have beauty or not"

to, and your congregation will be
standing on street corners by day
light and at night, with lanterns in
hand, cropping, like Diogenes, after
beautiful sin. No, no! Grecian genius
waved q magic wand and the Apollo
sprang from cold marble. Greek gen.
ius looked upon a human model and
the chisel turned hard one into I'M
dulating Venus. Raphael dipped his
pencil into tints stolen from the rain
bow, attuned his heart to a song
chanted by angels, and the Madonna
della Segiola exercises sin from the be-
holder. Murillo caught q flame from
genius, and his ascending Mary con-
vinces the looker-on that the immac-
ulate conception was q possibility.
Again, Bishop, take a layman's ad-
vice: Do not grow old.-Chicago Times.

A NIGHT CLERKS STORY.
Clerical Climax Capped--A Fell
low Who Wanted Reduced Rates.


'There was a tall, thin, kinder sad
looking chap put up here about three
weeks ago who was a high-roller from
way back" said the hotel clerk.
"The very first night he got out on
the Bad Lands and came back shouting
glory. 1t took two porter's and all
the bell boys to get him upstairs to
bed: The next night he went out to q
chicken fight and licked a couple of
hackman on the way home. He was
pretty warm people, I tell you:"
"Rather."
"The next night-it was 1 A. M.-he
came in loaded as usual. There was
a theatrical troupe in town, and two
OF the actresses were about retiring as
he passed upstairs whooping like a
lot of Sioux chasing suffers wagon.
He raped on the actresses door, and
as they wouldn't open it, of course, he
blew cigarette smoke through the key
hole and yelled "Fire!'
Made a panic, didn't it?"
"That's no word for it. Looked like
a sheet and pillow case party in an
insane asylum. We read the riot act
then, but he put up a warm talk with
the proprietor and squared it up
somehow. He was velvet talker as
sure as you're born. The night after
that he coaxed me into dice game
and skinned $16O outer me quicker'n
wink"
"Made his expenses, eh?"
EXACTLY. Well, the next morning
ne came down with his head swelled
and his grip packed. He said he
hated to leave us as he'd had such q
quiet, pleasant, genial sort of a time
but they called him and must away.
So made out bill"
"Made it pretty large, too, didn't

"'Bout the usual-but wait. l

"Can't imagine"

WHERE MEMORY SLEEPS.

Where memory sleeps the sole doth rise,
Free of the past where sorrow lies,
And storeth against future ills
The courage of the constant hills,
The comfort of the quiet skies.
Fair isthis land OF tired eyes,
Where summer sunlight never dies,
And summers peace the spirit fills,
Where memory sleeps.
Safe from these ason's changing cries
Aud chill of yearly sacrifice,
Great roses crowd my window-sills-
Calm roses that no winter kills;
The peaceful heart all pain denies
Where memory sleeps.

And so it was throughout the entire cat

everything was neat and nicely planned,
so that there was no suggestion of make

undue expenditure, is what every woman
really desires in planning her wardrobe.
