LAID OUT THE WASHER.
Which Shows That the Age of Chivalry
Has Not Passed.

A Pennsylvania railroad train was bowl
ing northward out of Wilmington, Del,
day or two ago, when a tlashily-dressed
young man passed through the coaches. As
he got beside a neatly-attired young woman
he was heard to murmur something that
made her eyes flash and her face assume a
look of pain. The fellow left the car, but
soon returned, and again he addressed the
fair passenger. Then she arose with indig
nation half checking her, and asked aloud:
SIS there gentleman in this ear? This
person has grossly insulted me-"
There was a gentleman on hand, fortu
nately. He was ex-City Councilman
Thomas f. Stockham of Camden, who had
not forgotten his athletic training, and in
about four seconds the masher was wishing
he had never been born. Mr.. Stockham's
good hand, scientifically and energetically
applied, made the fellow below for mercy,
while everybody else in the car applauded
with vim. When Mr.. Stockham finished
the masher he skunk off into the smoker
The Camden mans prompt and courage
Gus move elected the warm thanks of the
young woman passenger, and she must
have managed to learn his identity, for
yesterday well.known attorney of this
city called upon him and expressed his
warm thanks. The attorney said he was the
young woman's brother, and he was mighty
glad to know Mr.. Stock ham. philadelphia

blue eyes, especially in combination with
blonde hair, are esteemed so highly as a
feature of feminine beauty.
Men have light eyes oftener than women,
but in the intermediate grade of color be-
tween light and dark the percentage of the
two sexes is very nearly, though not quite,
the same. In this intermediate category
are brown and hazel eyes, neither pure
light nor genuine black The percentage
OF these among men is 43 and among
women, AL. The percentage of dark. or
more properly, black eyes, is larger among
women, heing POI per cent. of the whole
number, while among men it is 1913 Per-
haps it is the relative rarity of dark eyes
among men which estab ishes the rule that
dark eyed men are esteemed by women to

eyes than blue eyed mrn

TALE OF A RUNAWAY PIG.

In the old home we once had funny
little pig He was generally to be seen in
the act of running away. Hardly ever do
| remember seeing his face toward me- He
also had the krack of getting away from all
the other pigs.
The field next to the house ''home
field " as we used to call twas a kind of
common for the hogs, cattle and fowls.
The next was potato field, and the little
pig had taken it into his head to get into
that one How he got in no one could tell,
for the field was we'll fenced and there was
no opening through which he could enter.
How did he get in?
One day watched. He wandered in
sort of unnoticeable way toward crooked
old log, across which the fence had been
built
Suddenly, though closely watching, |
lost sight of my little friend. But before |
had recovered from my surprise | was as
tonshed to see him in the potato field.
well, now, that is very strange" |
slid. 'IIow did he do it?''
| went to the old log, and 10, it was
hollow. The whole trick became quite
clear to me-
went into the potato field to drive him
out intending to steer him toward the end
of the log so that he might get out the
same way he got in. Here he had the hest
OF me entirely. lie either could not or
would not see the log and maintained such
an air OF Ignorance on that point that | had
to give up the task in despair, drive him
ont by the gate and bring him home by a
long-round- about way.
The next day | made up my mind to
play a trick on him, and did | went
out very early and moved the log just
'home field"
Then | stood some distance off and
watched. | never we're amused in my life
He separated himself from the other pigs
and then went toward the log and got in
and through it and as he evidently
thought got out into the potato field. |
can understand this by the way he imme-
dlately began to sniff for the potatoes.
But, finding none, he seemed somewhat
puzzled.
Somehow it dawned on him that he was
still in the "home field " and he concluded
that he had not gone through the log. So
he went through it one more, but only to
find himself again in the ''home field
This seemed to puzzle him more than
ever. He looked around in establishment
| could clearly see that expression on his
face. For moment he stopped and was
evidently thinking very hard. Once more
he got through the log with the same re-
suit of finding himself in the "home field"
This time am sure, if he could have
talked he would have cried out "spooks!"
He stood quite still for few seconds,
shifted the air, and | could distinctly see
the bristes on his back gradually rising up
on end. Suddenly he uttered peculiar
kind of "bock" and ran with all his might
toward the other pigs.
The little pig was meyer seen in that
part Of the field again. Many time we
tried to drive him to the old log but we
could not get him to go.-Ladies Journal.

is the reason for the formation of the new
