Actress Blanche Walsh looks upon Jus

about IT'S pounds, erect in carriage, and
walks with quick, nervous stride. Great
black eyes, which alternately beam with
pleasurable emotion or snap with anger or
excitement, for the colonel is bundle OF
nerves, illumine his clean cut oval face
His mustache and hair are dark brown in
color, while his complexion is fair, with
just suggestion of a pearly tint in the

about 200 pounds in weight eild powerfully
built about the arms, chest and shoulders
His face is strong, but kindly, and his com
plexion of that species which at once sug
gests peaches and cream. 1t would make a
village belle grow green with envy. His
eyes are deep blue in color, large and open.
They are his most attractive feature. His
hair and mustache, naturally of soft brown
color, are now literally interspersed With
gray locks.
Mr.. Law is about 43 years of age, fine
all around athlete and an exceptionally
clever boxer. Ten years ago he could hold
his own with ex-Champion Joe Coburn OF
any of tho heavyweights of that time.
Even today he could make fighters like
Charley Mitchell hustle. He obtained the
name Of the Diamond King" few years
ago from the princely habit he had of max
ing lavish gifts of precious stones from time
to time to his friends.

plicit1y declares that beauty in either man
or woman is "but vain and doubtful
good" Zimmerman goes step further
and asserts that it lis worse than wine-it
intoxicates both holder and beholder."
Lord Denman, too, in moody moment
warns his readers to resist the spell which
beauty casts upon its wOrshipers and de-
nounces that heavenly gift as "a delusion,
a mockery and snare" Cynics of every
nation join in the chorus and solemnly as
severate that the possession of beauty, be 1t
masculine or feminine, has worked untold
evil to the human race ever since the world
began. 1t did considerable damage, they
aver, even before the era of profane history.
For instance, three lovely creatures-Juno,
Venus and Minerva-raised quite ruction
about old boy Jupiter's ears for the posses
sion of rosy checked apple, emblematical
of the worlds championship in the first
great beauty contest. Later on that daz-
cling apparition, that glorious realization
of dreamlike loneliness, Lais, turned the
good old town of Corinth topsy turvy as
well as turning the heads of it's men and
ultimately caused murder, riot and revolu-
ton.
Divine Gift.
These were women. The men who were
favored With this divine gift, the cynics
claim, caused just as much disturbance
among their fellows. That handsome ras-
cal, Paris--the best favored fellow of his
time-plunged all the little Kingdoms of
Greece into 10 years war merely because
he took it into his head to steal another
mans wife-the beautiful Helen of Troy.
That other handsome scamp, too, the
''pious'' Eneas, in his wanderings about
the earth raised an awful fuss in that de-
iightful little island off the coast of Sicily
when he first won charming Queen DidO's
heart and then proceeded ruthlessly to
break it. He almost brought about an in
ternecine war among the queens own sub
jects, a majority of whom could scarcely
brook the undisguised Partially shown by
