New York Tribune: The New Or.
leans IlInes-Democrat tells of q citi-
zen who has set out to solve the prob
lem why strong men always weep
When anything unusual happens, but
At last accounts he was as much in
the dark as ever. He had, however,
coltateei asfew recent instances which,
ne viii Eigeonhole, with the hope that
light OF other happenings they
may give him q clue to the mystery,
instance, when q Frankfort, Ky,
Jury, thesother day, acquitted Colonel
Colson OF murder 1t was reported thai
many strong men wept." Or, to 20
back q few weeks, when the relief Of
Ladysm1th was announced in London,
strong men wept, and when the queen
visited Dnblinsthe multitude shouted
itself hoarse. But not so the stalwart
band of strong men" They lived up
to their glorious traditions ana
"wept.' So. also, when the new play
by Rostand was produced recently in
Paris we are told that STRONG men
Wept." Hardly al week passes in
which something does not happen
compelling strong men to weep. It
would appear, indeed, as though they
must have organized themselves into
a sort Of secret band Of weepers, with
lodges oil over the country, pledged to
send weeping members to any local
affair where weeping can be properly
reported. Otherwise there does not
seem to be any explanation Of the
widespread prevalence Of the prac-
tice.
Now, why should strong men es-
peciallY weep? Or, for the matter Of
that, why should men, whether strong
or weak. weep, since weeping has al
ways been regarded as the prerogatiye
of woInan? WHAT'S the meaning of

Youthful Reasoning.

Detroit Free Preas: A Detroit
teacher was illustrating an arithmei-
cal problem to d junior grade class.
"Now,'' said she, Il have two apples
in this hand and two pears in the
other. How much does that make?"
Up went several tiny hands, and
Johnny being selected to answer, re-
piled that the total suln of objects
was -four"
-Four what?" inquired the teacher;
"four applcs?"
No" said Johnny, only two APP
PIES"
All Of the class seemed satisfied
with this answer except u little fell
low III the corner, who remained ST.
lent and thoughtful. He was Rube.
the milkman's son. The teacher, OBJ
serving his abstraction, said:
whats the matter, RUDE; don't
you think that's right?"
There was a pulling expression on
little Rube's face as he replied:
We'll, in dc mornin',. when me fsz-
ger takes two quarts NV milk and two
quarts NV water it always makes four
quarts NV milk"
And Rube, the milkmnn's son,
seemed hurt when the teacher
laughed.

Baltimore Herald: A certain philos-
,opher declares that a woman is
known by her mouth, not by the
words that issue therefrom, but by
the shape and color of the lips and
the lines and dimples that gather
about this important feature. He Is
supported in his theory by
sphysiognomists, WHO all enndeavor to
prove that no woman with the small.
re%dlipped Cupid bow mouth, SO
praised in song and story, wa ever
intellectual or generous Of heart, and
1t is consoling to those whose mouths
are not in accordance with the lines
OF beauty laid down by the poets to
be told that a wide, straight mouth.
with strong, white teeth denotes;
the woman of superior intelligence,
goodness of heart, strength of mind
and n thousand andgoneg other sterling
qualities which one likes to think she
possesses.
1t is the fashion at present for wo-
men to hold their lips apart. This is
supposed to give that innocent, visit
full, wondering expression which was
the peculiar property of the heroines.
Of old-fashioned novels. but which BIZ
cycle riding and kindred modern
amnsements have caused to vanish. II
is difficult for the thin-lipped, deter
mined woman to acquire this trick,
but perseverance works wonders.

Detroit Free Press: .That recalls

glasses from his nose to his ear and
tossed aside his paper. II was just

Army post against sports on Memorial
day.

old soldier that / accepted. He ranked
as captain when honorably dis
charged, but there never was a COM
Misunderstanding that was SO chock full
of patriotism.
when | arrived on the scene there
was q little German band playing
nothing but national airs. It inadyer-
}tently struck up some foreign air, but
the captain rushed out, swung his
arms and said something to the
leader.
The entrance wns festooned with.
flags, the inside was bright in the col
ors of Old Glory, there was n brass
cannon in the unused fireplace, and
even the flowers weregred, white and
blue. We sang American The Star
SPangled Banner and Marching
through Georgia. and the captain
made q speech to terrify all foreign
ers.
Then We went to dinner, the band
blowing for all it was worth. 1t was

good old colors were there in profu-
sion. The captains grace came within
mn ace of being n Fourth of July orn-
ton, and when the decorated walters
came in they were stepping to q
blood-stirring match.
The climax was reached when the
huge. steaming and savory roast wa
carried to the table and placed before

drew his sword and with it he carved
the roast. Not a person at that long
table had a desire to laugh, and that's

story:
"0nce when we were going down il

had been considerable joking about the
new arrival, and as we passed she came
ont to hang up her washing on the line.

snapped a shotgun for-and when ]
saw the New Brunswick girl hang up a

well, we got down into the Territory
and among the Indians. They are great
gamblers, you know, and we bet with
them everything we had. We raced and
won from them all the money and
blankets thc!y possessed.
The blankets wore United States
army blankets, but We can use them by
cutting out the u. s. AT last we came,
down to foot runners, and the Indians
brought out their man. He was tall,

they were holy relics.
