MEN WHO CHARM WOMEN.
One Writer'S Opinion, Which Con-
tains Some Practical Hints.

The man who charms all women must
have the suggestion Of bodily strength.
1t may be a strength which has been
inspired, but the signs of it must be
there The man whose face is peak
ed" whose eyes are not StraightfOr-
ward, whose hands are thin and dry and
Sallow. never charms a woman. If a
woman We're always to tell the honest
truth (Which I am now doing), she
would say that the man she found fas-
cinating was the one she never laughed
at; who had no point on which her
sense Of the ridiculous could rest He
is not necessarily serious himself, ex-
cept in all things which concern her
She is delighted TO laugh with him.
1t is humiiiating fact that a woman
notices, first, the way a man stands on
his feet. The strength and power OF his
legs and feet may typify to her his
position in the world. The man who
trOts along may be of an angelic dispo-
sitiOn, have the face of a Raphael, and
the intellect of a sage. but no woman
ever Worshiped him. She wants him to
step boldly.
Women seldom find a smiling man

The barrels were soon put on the

twins ate the food as if it had been a

It didn't take Mr. Mason long, with
the help of a coal shovel, TO fill seven
barrels with the nuts. He left the pan

all kinds.
On the way home they met Knee

seven barrels Of burrle55 nuts he con-
graduated them. Although my eight
barrels are burrless now, and haven't

The twins did not say that they had
secured any priekers themselves. They
We're really too tired to say anything.
That evening their mother boiled and
roasted a lot Of the nuts, and they were
very good no better than ordinary
nuts, but excellent, nevertheless. But
strange to say, the boys did not care
to eat any, They may have been too
tired to eat or they may have thought
that such hard-earned nuts deserved a
better fate, but, whatever the reason,
the nuts went begging as far as Ma
son and Jason were concerned, and so,
after a few days, they were all shipped
out west 10 a tOOthless minister, to
whom a box Of goodies was expressed
every fall by the missionary society
It would be pleasant TO be able TO
say that the boys were cured Of their
lazy ways, bit, as a matter Of fact,
they still coast to school and skate to
grandma's as Of old, 50 the lesson of
the burrle5s nuts was lost on them.

Anderson SandeTson gathered five bar

OF course, any of the boys would have

determined to discover this tree and

out Of bed and actually dressed without

Death of John A. Morrice.

Shiawassee county lost one of her most
value and trusted citizens Tuesday when
John Morrice, of Morrice village, died very
suddenly of heart disease. Mr.. Morrice
was about fifty years of age and had
in former years always enjoyed the best of
health, but recently heart trouble has been
constant source Of anxiety to himself and
family. Just recently, however, he seemed
to be considerably better SO that the end
came qaite unexpectedly Tuesday and was
great shock to his family and friends.
Mr.. Morrice had been a resident of Perry
township or Morrice village for many years
and had held the esteem of his associates in
every respect during his active and useful
life. He was one of the best farmers in
Perry and made a splendid success of the
business. In politics he had been many
times honored by his fellow citizens, having
held every township Office and having rep
resented the town on the board of supervis-
ors for many years. After giving up the
actual hard work of the farm and moving
to Morrice village he was elected president
Of the village and served his constituents

was prepared for burial. Drs. Hume and
Scott were called to dress the wounds of the
women and they were pronounced not fatal.
Mr.. and Mrs. Scott had been married
about ten years, living in West Superior,
Wis, before they came to Owosso where
Scott was employed in railway car
shops. In the latter place Scott was gener-
ally we'll liked by his fellow employees and
the feeling that his wife had for him may
be partly realized when it is known that she
even the next morning had apparently COM
pletely forgiven him and assured the neigh
bors of her belief that her husband must have
been insane. At her request the funeral
was held In their own home Wednesday
afternoon. Scott was member of the
Modern WoOdmen In which society he car
ried policy of thousand dollars in favor
of his wife The members of the Ow0sso
lodge attended the funeral In body.
