"HE one subject which retains al
ways a deep and abiding hold on
feminine interest is personal beauty.
a It's Guest is endless.
Nor need we deny the impeachment,
for does not Smonides place the
divine gift of beauty as the second
great blessing in life, health only taking
precedence One of the great powers OF
tho world, it has always been; that it is
also Glove, poetry, heroism," is strong
assertion perhaps. but one with several
grains of truth in it.
In older days beauty was personihed.
In Greece, witness Aphrodite; in Egypt,
Hathor in Persia, Anahita; in Carthage.
Tanit; in Babylon, Mylitta; in Byblus,
Baaltis; Ashtaroth among the Sidonians
and Aschera among the glades of Judea.
Then came a time when it was con-
sidered unworthy vanity to think about
or discuss the subject and the body was
to be treated by all wise people with con-
temptuous indifference. Nowadays, hap
PLY, we consider it positive duty to pre-
serve and cultivate all the gifts entrusted
to us by nature. and to try to turn de-
fects into attractions, for every one-the
maiden of sixteen, or the matron Of sixty
can be in some way pleasing, and
should be: "the woman who does not
please is a false note in the harmonies OF
nature"
Although we may not all be radiant
beauties. it is something each owes to her
self to take care that her good points are
not allowed to deteriorate through neg
lect of the many details which go to make
up the personality. This means that we
are to get on more intimate terms with
Hygeia; learn her ways and follow them.

 Some people are very envious of each other. We have two short and fat citizens in our little city who are very jealous so much so that theyare continually crack ing jokes and in way ridiculing the actions of one another. The Dr. recently exposed the butter milk racket and since that time the insurance agent has been lay ing for him. They have each oth- CT nicknamed, the doctor being known by theappellation of Hill Billy" for MT. Rightor says he is from the hills of Mississippi and his name is Willie. Dr. Nc Cain was born at Cold Water, Mississippi some years ago and that is no doubt the reason he drinks so much cold water and things. He has been in evidence since that time. During his lu- cid intervals, he is a most excel lent doctor dealing extensively in poultices and pills, of which he makes a very good brand. He can tell the difference between turpentine and petroleum nearly any time he desires to by simply tasting of them. If one tries to show off and hands him chalk and asks him if it is quinine or nor phine he refuses to answer but gives you a reproachful look. MT. ftightor's cognomen is 'bear". He came here from Helena but is earnestly trying to live it down. He usually wears nice hat and sometimes removes it when he meets d lady. At his spare time he is engaged in the insurance business, being a hus- tier of no small degree. He has done quite a good deal of business in our county, and expects to do a agreatdealmore. He represents some good companies and that speaks for him. But Mir. Rightor is very good off hand speaker himself. His work requires lect- ures every once in a while, and it is said MT. Rigtor has no supe- rior in putting candidates asleep, and thus causing them to believe all they hear. He can tell a good story and laugh at it as heartily as anyone. The insurance man says that doctor Mccain has the traltS Of a mountain goat to a great extent. He is full of mis- chievousness just as the animal referred to. Always in trouble of some kind, even at his dinner table if Tom and Bob McFalls happens to get near him. All the boarders at thatplace, says Right or, have noticed sudden nervous spells that possess the doctor and when under the spells they have learned to rush awaylfrom the table to avoid a scene. The bear is very anxious to marry him off and see if that will help matters for he says he wants to be relieved from the violent ex-
