that this desire is to be found in It's
rudimentary and in it's highly developed
form in the same country. the same com
munity, almost in the same family. The
anthropomorphic conception of the Al
mighty pictures him asking. in exteuua-
ton of some act of severity
'shall not do what viii with mine own?"
And the low conception of the family
relation makes the unrefined and tyranni-
cal man assert his right to control, abso-
lutely. for his own pleasure. the persons
OF his wife and his children. He resents
any attempt to interfere with that con-
troll. He conceives it to be conductive to
his dignity to assert his authority over
those dependent upon him. and like the
savage. believes himself greater for hav-
ing conquered the will of another.
This irresponsible domination is mis-
chievous. It Injuries the tyrant and the
oppressed alike. it il false form of
self-assertion. and like all limitations of
the good is demoralizing. 1t seeks
sham influence in place of the real. The
magnetism of a personality which intlu-
nnces others to follow it willingly and
joyously is as different from the domi
nation of an overbearing will as light
from darkness. The former is true
strength; the latter. weakness endeavor-
ing to initiate strength.
1t is not necessary for the superior man
to assert his superiority. People know it.
He does not go around advertising the
fact that he is wise. Others see it and
come to him for advice. If he be a good
hnancier they follow his lead in money
matters; if he be learned. they seek to
secure him as a teacher or adviser; If
he be good. they find themselves sudden
ly ashamed of evil-doing. His power is
not irresponsible, because 1t depends alb
solutely on his worthiness to lead. And
instead of weakening the wills of others,
it strengthens them by calling out the
qualities in which their leader is strong.

but they often thought what a Coca
Scheme it would be to lure Claude in
to the Kitchen and Fricasse him.
Mamma would come to Breakfast
wearing all her Diamonds, and she
would expect the entire Staff of EN-
ployes to drop everything else and run
to wait on Claude. So Claudio got it
into his Head that the entire Popula-
ton of this Mundane Sphere was put

moring him and giving him Nickels
and telling him that he was a Pretty
Boy His Mother and her Friends
would discuss his Beauty so that he
could overhear it. Claude became
Conscious and had the Swell Head
and began to look askance at those
who did not smell of Perfumery. And
for fear that he would underestimate
his Importance. his Mamma would tell
him several times a Day that he was
too good to play with the Brats.
She dressed him as much like a Girl
as possible, and had him wearing Curls
and stiff Skirt when he ought to have
been out playing First Base.
The very Idea of permitting the
Jewel to mingle with the Lower Class
es in the Public Schools gave her the

rcugh-shod. When he called them Mean
Old Things they threatened to give him
a Slap on the Wrists.
All he could do was to fly to Mamma
and pour out his Griefs For 10 years
Mamma always had something to talk
about, and that was, how Claude was

But no matter how often they threw
him down and then piled things on top
of him. Claudio couldn't free himself
of the Belief that he was a Pretty Boy
and that all the others ought to tell
him so and let him have his own Way
Even when he was 80 and had a bad
set of Whiskers and no Shape to speak
of, he wanted all the Women to rush
to him when he entered a Room. He
wanted to sit in somebody's Lap and
have her tell him that he was too Sweet

him back into a Corner and tried to
forget that he was present, he would
become Peevish and say "Oh, Fiddle!'s

DO YOU WEAR A FRowNERs
A New Wrinkle to Cure WRINKLES
.~- 1t Promises to Stick.

A New Wrinkle to Cure wrink1es.
1t Promises to Stick.
In the halcyon days of the South.
when time was no object with slaves,
and fair ladies scorned even to pick up
their own handkerchiefs, there was
felt among la haute societe a common
dread. 1t was that; of wrinkles-those
inevitable markings of Father Time.
Then a beautiful, complexion was es-
teemed to- beTone tof woman's greatest
charmsy The sunburned golfer had not
come -famboyantly into fashion, nor
was the literary wrinkle"--one deep
crease between the ye-brows-looked
upon with favor; neither had the rudy
coloring, the charm of to-day. while
redeemed arms exposed by rolled up
shirt sleeves would assuredly have
been regarded as extremely vulgar.
A delicate skin was the supreme de-
sire of every we'll born woman, and
considered half the battle in winning
a lover In the privacy of her own
chamber, therefore, she engaged in
such small arts as would enhance this
beauty, the amost efficacious being
strip of white ribbon or a soft hand
kerchfef tied tightly about her fore
head, that it might prevent it from
pickering, Or falling into set lines as
she sat reading or thinking. To fur
Their aid in smoothing out the brow the
band was dipped in cold water. Often
she slept at night with this band tied
firmly about her head.
In these days of ultra modernness
the subject of wrinkles is still one of
vast Importance and a new preventive
has been evolved. 1t is called by the
suggestive name of "frowner," and
consists simply of a rather stiff bit of
white paper about the size and, shape
of postage stamp, and having on its
back similar coating of gum. Espe
cially is it designed as a preventative
of the wrinkles between the brows or
at the corners of the eyes; and in these
places, after being moistened, these
should be pasted whenever one is about
to engage in some occupation that
causes the habit of "wrinkling."
At the fashionable shops of large
cities frowners are now as regularly
on sale as almost any other accessories
of the toilet. Many. however, prefer
to make them at home, a process sim
pie and inexpensive. 1t has also been
found by those who are ingenious that
it is best to cut them circular in shape
instead of square. as they leave less
of a trace when removed, Heavy writ
ing paper from which to fashion them
is available to all and a little dissolved
gum arabic will stick them on good
and tight.

been standing since early dawn in the
rain, knowing that the time allotted
to the masses for seeing the remains
OF the beloved President was so short
that not one-quarter of them could get
in; so, when the doors were at last
thrown open, a mad rush ensued,
breaking the bones and crushing the
breath out of many. 1t was an awful
sight, that half hour of pandemonium;
the roar of the mob, the frantic shrieks
of women, the terrified screams of
children, the powerless police, clubbing
right and left among those who could
not help themselves, being pushed from
behind by a mighty multitude, resist
less as the waves, of the sea, those in
the rear being ignorant of the fatal
damage they We're doing. 1t was over
soon and order restored.
The fanlt was not with the people, so
much as with. those who made made

Washington crowds are, it was a fear
tul mistake on somebody's part to give
less than four hours for the three hun
dred thousand citizens of the national
capital, augmented by many thousands
OF visitors from all parts of the coun-
try, to see the dead President.
Among hundreds of interesting Incl
dents with which we might fill every
page of this paper, was the electrical
power of the sweet old hymn, Nearer,
My God to Thee" When the honored
corpse was being brought from the de-
pot to the White house, as it's bearers
turned into the great iron gates, in rain
and darkness, some quavering female

under their dripping umbrellas, and al
ways accompanied by tears. Again,
just as the coffin was lifted from the
hearse to be carried into the rotunda,
while guards saluted, bells tolled and
bands played the Presidents favorite
hymn a little child, carrying a bunch of
white roses and a tiny silken flag,
broke the solemn hush by beginning to
sing, in her sweet baby treble:
'All that Thou sendest me,
In mercy given,
Angels to beckon me,
~ Nearer, My God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee"
The effect was magical; men and wo-
men, with tears streaming down their
voices in accompaniment to the little
one and the music of the band. And
thus goodbye was hidden to the quiet,
simple hammered gentlemen, who so
long went in and out among us, we'll
