Swearing is growing less, decidedly
SO, writes Edward Box in The Ladies'
Home Journal. "All students of men
agree in this view, just as excessive al
coholio drinking is falling into disuse.
The principal reason for the decline Of
both excessive swearing and drinking is
that men are getting more and more
careful to refrain from any habit which
places their self control in peril. So
ciety is constantly growing more i'm
patient with man who lacks equipoise,
while the keener demands of business
necessitates men being more moderate
in all things. The basis of the change
may be more material than spiritual,

Trading Rat.

OF all curious animals which man
has come across and studied probably
none can compare with kind of rat
found in the Rocky mountains Though
for long time we'll known to trappers
and lumbermen, it is only lately that
any naturalist has studied these peculiar
little beasts.
Although called rat this little ana
NAL is larger than an ordinary rat, with
body eight inches long. 1t is very
pretty creature, with soft gray fur and
a squirrellike tail, easily tanned and a
delightful pet. The trappers long ago
gave it the name of the trading rat, !"
from its curious habit Of never stealing
anything without putting something in
it's place.
Two young women camping in the
highlands of Wyoming left the lid of
their cracker box off one night. Ia the
morning all the biscuits were gone and
the box was filled with an understandable
mixture of chips, scraps of leather,
sticks bones, dried heans--in fact, ev-
erything movable near at hand.
The trading rat builds very beauti-
full nest, sometimes two feet in height,
and is very clever at storing food. 1t
has violent fancy for anything of a
bright red hue. -Philadelphia Inquirer.

at is curious fact, said an expert
sneed New Orleans photographer, THAT
it isn't the handsomest women who
make the handsomest pictures. Why is
it? Well, beauty nearly always owes
her charm TO something beyond the
reach of the lens-to her complexion,
her hair or the viyacity of her express
sion. Very few such women have regu-
lar features, and when they are repro
duced in plain black and white they are
at great disadvantage. Their photo
graphs are generally unsatisfactory and
are really not correct as likenesses. On
the other hand, woman who is re-
garded as homely may have singularly
perfect lines. but attracts no attention
through lack of color and animation.
"I'll cite you queer instance: A
dozen or SO years ago Maude Brans-
combe was the most popular model in
the United States for Photographic art
studios. Her best pose was as a nun,
and her pictured face was strikingly
beautiful. Thousands upon thousands
of people have raved over her loneliness,
but the real Miss Branscombe whom l
had the pleasure of knowing, was de-
mure, pale little woman who would
never in the world attract the slightest
attention in a crowd Without doubt
she was passed unnoticed by many
person who treasured her portrait as
marvel. New Orleans Times-Demo'

His Signature.

An elderly man stepped into big
hotel the other day, accompanied by his
wife, and asked for ROOM When the
polite clerk gave him pen and placed
the register before him, he looked visi
bly, embarrassed, but he took the pen
and bent over the book as though he
had nerved himself to some desperate
task.
He started to write and then stopped
and began to think The clerk, Of
course, didn't know what the trouble
was or else he would have volunteered
his services. After painful pause the
ruralist started in to scratching some
more.
After the expiration of fully five min
utes the farmer threw down his pen
with sigh of relief, wiped the perspira-
tion from his brow and rejoined his bet
ter half who had been waiting in the
lobby during the ordeal. The clerk was
curious to see a signature that required
such an unusual length of time to exc
cute. The clerk is solemn man, but he
nearly went off into fit when he saw,
in big, round script, this legend:
