Though Moscow has nearly five

is." she replied. There's one day for
printing It and one day for illustrating 1t.
What more do you want?" The editor
moaned, as II in pain. and said that he was
very,very busy. The banality of this last
excuse maddened her to such an extent
that she said he should not have the ar
ticle at all, went out and banged the door.
On the following day she decided to give
him another chance, but the message was
sent out to her that the editor had died in
the night. Otherwise she would have tri-
umphed. That is the kind of lady that
succeeds In journalism. You must be firm.
and stand no sort Of nonsense.
At the same time, kindness has its uses.
Let the editor know that you have a great
admiration for him. personally. and that
you think an aunt OF yours used to be n
great friend of an aunt of his; also ask him
TO tea. Then. either he accepts any copy
which you send him, or he Is not a gentle
man. There are, of course, some low-mind-
ed reptiles who will not come to tea and
will only eccept copy. which they think
suitable. That cannot be helped-there are
black sheep in every profession. There
may even be editors who will drink your
tea, and even then will not publish your
poetry. But the really fine editor under
stands that his position has been given
him simply to enable him to make some
slight return for any social Kindness that
may be shown him.
I hope that those who have inquired will
act upon these hints. and let me know what
happens.-Barry Pain in Today.

There is a lack of breadth to the jaw,
which all men of extreme determination
of character have. This Is sometimes
called an indication of doggedness. but
the line between doggedness and firm
ness Is so fine that it Is difficult to say
where one begins or where the other
ends. Mckinley Is open to reason, judg-
ed by the formation of the lower part Of
the face, but whether he Is open to too
many kinds Of reasoning remains to be
seen.
His mouth Is Puritanical mouth.
By that mean he clings steadfastly to
the ideas which were driven into him in
his youth. Nothing can swerve him
from these. and it Is perhaps just as
we'll, as he was reared in an atmosphere
Of respectability strict and unyielding
to the more elastic ideas Of the present
time.
"McKinley's eyes are mild I should
judge him to be man who hates dis
cussion and argument. He is not COM
bative. He Is not optimistic, and judg-
ing from his mouth, 1 think he is inclined
the other way. His mouth is the pre-
dominating feature of his face. His
nose counts for little, his chin Is ordi-
nary, his forehead is a good one, but
not exceptional, but his mouth Is
unique"
The herald., 1896-07-19

tical talent. The lower part Of that fore
head indicates wonderful perceptive
powers, and ability to gather knowl-
edge, to dispense 1t simply and clearly.
In the top forehead Is found the reason
ing faculties. The forehead In the upper
part is strong and broad, showing origi-
nal forms of thinking and planning, and
giving to him the power to reason from
analogy. Here he derives his philosoph-
ical qualities, and we secure reminders
Of Webster in more ways than one."
A man who doesn't claim to be a pro-
fessor, but who has made the study of
faces a fad for the past twenty years.
says Of Mckinley: IF you will make a
close comparison of Mr.. McKinley's face
with that Of Napoleon, you will see that
there is no resemblance whatever. Ma
poleon's face was quite mild and inno-
cent looking. McKinleyas Is stern ex-
cept for the eees, which give 1t placid
expression. The adversaries Of the Ohio
man say he is weak. while his admirers
say he Is strong and firm. They are both
right and they are both wrong. Their
counter claims remind me of the old
story about the two men who had dis
pute about the road sign at a certain
point. One claimed 1t was black paint
ed sign and the other claimed 1t was
green. After they had called each other
liars they had fine rough and tumble
fight. One had his finger chewed off and
the other lost an ear. Then they went
to look at the sign to see who was right.
One side of the sign was green and the
other was black.
