Perhaps you like the cup that cheers"
Perhaps you gamble recklessly:
Perchance you're libellous In tone;
Perhaps you're prone to sigh and

Perhaps you're temper's very bad.

You think that no IN else Is right:
You firt with everything In sight;
You have an overbearing way,
Or tell your symptoms night and

Perhaps you dye the hair that's gray;

A Prehistoric Cemetery.

Workmen terracing King hill, an old
landmark Of northwestern Missouri.
which is to be converted into a resi-
dence suburb OF ST. Joseph, have un-
earthed a prehistoric cemetery. The
remains OF a race OF dwarfs, not allied
with any tribe known to have inhab-
tied this territory, and unaccounted for
by Indian legendary, repose on the
summit of King hill. A feature re-
markable in itself and especially
marked in connection with the dwarf
ish remnants of prehistoric man found
in this summit is the discovery OF
human bones. evidently those of a
giant, probably more than seven feet
tall and big boned. Low, fiat heads,
with small intelligence and marked
animal propensities, characterized this
people. Heavy jaws and strong, we'll
preserved teeth carry the records of
| their lives forward. Brutes, human
but inhumane, self-reliant, they are
a OF a lower order than any we
know today. Yet they honored their
dead. Shells such as are found on the
banks of many inland streams, plen-
tiful on the sandbars of the Missouri,
overlooked by King hill. and stones of
unusual hues, worthless in the COM
mercial marts OF today, the playthings
of children, were deposited in the
grayes.-Chicago Record.

AT noon my Charley called In n

days-and brought with him seventeen
fellows, not one Of whom | had ever

This was another absurd test OF

far from pleasing. for some OF the call

seemed disinclined to depart.
But my principal worry was about
Charley.
II had always supposed him strictly
temperate, but on this occasion he
drank n great deal. Oh. how l wished
then that I had taken my mothers adj

His face grew red, his eyes CLASSY,

One of the doors leading into the in
