ANXIOUS TO OBLIGE HIM.
How q Hunter in Arizona Succeeded In
Capturing q Bandit.


What would do if l should meet a
highwayman some night and he should
order me to hold up my hands?" said
man who has had some experience
oughing it in the far west, repeating
the question of friend. "Well, should
put my hands up in such a hurry it
would make your head swim. If you
value your life it is wise to promptly
obey the orders of bandit that has got
the drop on you and is showing you the
interior of his gun. My experience has
taught me this. l remember the close
call 1 had in Arizona. I was hunting
alone one day when a bad man hove in
sight, and before could realize his in
tention requested me to hold up my
hands and keep them up while 1 dis
mounted from my horse. 1 knew if I
attempted to reach for my rifle or re-
volver that would be the signal for
hostilities to begin, and as the other fell
low would get the first shot my chances
would be slim. So I meekly erected
my arms in a perpendicular position and
got off my horse with as much alacrity
as was possible under the circum-
stances. In trying to release my foot
from the stirrup frightened the horse
and he started off on n run. Before he
knew what had happened the animal
had upset the bandit, and his pistol
flew out of his hand. This is where
came in, and the persuasive eloquence
of my gun induced the outlaw to march
ahead of me all the way to our camp,
and there we detained him until we
could turn him over to the officers of the
law. Now, you see, if had parleyed
with that Arizona desperate I probably
wouldn't be here to tell this story

A CASE OF nEREplIY.

He was tall young man with auburn
nustache and small, pointed beard. She
and calm blue eyes. They were return

were fortunate enough to get car
| which was not so overcrowded as to
preclude the possibility of seat for
the young lady.
AS the young man held to his strap
and bent in the direction of the girl,
he said:
"You remember we were discussing
heredity at Mrs. Gildersleeve's?"
The young lady nodded.
"Now, across yonder is a case in
point. Do you see the woman with
child on her lap?'
She looked and saw and announced
that she did.
"Now, to my eyes that child is clear
~ of what one might call common
parentage. There is nothing aristo-
cratic about its lineage. You will no
tice that its eyes, while brown and ex-
pressive now, resemble it's mothers in
a marked degree. That resemblance
will grow as the child gets older. They

The car went around a sharp bend
just then, and the young mans mind

cation of the doctrine which says that
bodies continue to go in the direction
in which they get started until that
direction is changed by superior force.
I forget what the doctrine is called.
But when he regained his equilibrium
he began again.

mother picked it off a bargain counter
| and made it presentable by cleansing
the shopworn spots. My conclusion as
to her lack of natural taste is strength
ened by the fact that with the blue
coat the child is wearing pair of green
mittens much too large for it,"
"Then there is but little hope for
the future of the poor little thing, I
SUPPOSE" said the young lady.
"Nonc whatever, the laws of heredity
being what they are" replied the young
man, with unsuitable confidence.
IL am very sorry to hear you say
that, Mr.. Burlington" said the young
lady, "for the child is my favorite niece,
whom her nurse is taking home after an
afternoons visit to Cousin Hildebrand's
children"
The child's aunt seemed much amused
at her escorts discontinue, but he said
little which had any relevance to the
theme. What he thought may be
imagined when it is noted that the

cULTTvATING PERSONALITY.
Il Is Well Enough to avoid the Common

Cultiyating personality is all right,
girls, provided you go about it in the
right way. Don't, for instance, acquire
it at the expense of self-repose.
You can all to easily become known
as the girl who rumples her forehead,
uses her hands like deaf mute, punctu-
ates her conversation with spasmodic
little head jerks, and otherwise inn
presses her audience with the idea that
she is indulging in mild form of social
athletics.
There is, of course, such thing as
perfume personality, and, what is more,
il doesn't, as some people contend, come
from the exclusive use of soap and
water. Il comes from a liberal employ
ment OF sachet powder among your be-
longings, and, of course, it takes money
tc crafty the whim. 1t is notion, by
the way, that must be very fastidiously
manipulated or your friends will dub
your tastes vulgar. Any sachet or scent
suggestive of musk is distinctly bad
form.
Priestesses of hygiene strive Tor a
well-groomed personality. This is more
pleasant to the disciples of body culture
than the hall-marks of beauty or bril-
liancy.
Some young women attain a corre-
spondence personality. Their writing.

white-winged messengers they dispatch
by mail carry with them certain details
of good breeding that invest the author
with charming atmosphere of good
taste.
Dress individuality comes from many
sources. Sometimes you can get it in
one way; sometimes in another. A
tamsel with neck that is perfection
secures her dress individuality by ig-
noring high collars when universally

Washing the Summer Ginghams.

AS wooden dresses are cleansed and
put away, ginghams and other wasl,
goods of summer will make their ap
pearance, and some will soon require
laundering. This is good plan to fol-

BASELY DECEIVED.

This Man Has a Grievance Against the
Weather Bureau.
1t was one of the hottest days that
usurped the privileges of balmy spring.
The sun beat down until mist OF heat
came from the stone walks and the
brick walls. Toward a furnishing store
a fat man, among Detroit's best-known
citizens, made his weary way. In one
hand he used two handkerchiefs as q
mop, while with the other he kept up
the busy action of a palm-leaf fan. Per-
spiration ran in merry rivulets down his
shining face, to be absorbed in the wilt
ed collar and collapsed shirt front that
were immaculate an hour before. He
was painting with the respiratory unc-
ton of u porpoise and at intervals NUT
tered excavations that Kissed with
steam. His hair looked as though he
had been swimming, and his nose was
beaded with glistening drops:
:'Show me straw hat" ordered the
man of flesh as he settled down on the
little round seat that at once suggested
the frail stem of great toadstool.
"Looks like rain" ventured the clerk,
who is always under orders to be pleas
ant.
Don't look bit like rain. Weather
forecast is for dry spell. This one
will do. Now I'll get some pie-plant
leaves and put in it. Don't propose to
have my brain baked"
An hour later he was on the wooded
Fart of the island, handkerchiefs and
fan still in commission. Suddenly, as
ii the heavens had opened, he was
deluged with rain. The mucilage from
the hat mingled with the extracted
green of the big leaf, poured down over
his head, neck and face, blinded his
eyes, filled his ears and streamed over
his natty light suit. He swore out
rageously as he CROPPED his way to the
landing, and by his hopelessly bedrag-
gled appearance excited the passengers
to say that the poor fellow must have
been drinking to cool off and then went
in bathing without thinking to take
anything off. He was a study in water
colors that might have been mixed by
nature IN frog-pond. Now he is going
around with a blank check trying to
hire some big lawyer to sue the govern
ment for damages because it made false

FORGETTING.

How often the cares of yesterday,
The past with it's ghost of pain,
Rise up to our burdened souls to-day
And we bear them all again!
Yet, why should we worry and grieve in
mind?
The past can return no more.
"Twere better forgetting the things b.
hind
And reaching to those before.
1t matters not what might have been;"
The great are the things to be;
And the highest aim is to now begin
To live for eternity.
Then, leaving the changeless past for aye,
Forgetting its trials and tears,
Step out in the newer, brighter day
And live in the coming years.
