Life is Real.

stunned for a moment if You
should ask them Wnat they lived
for. The fact is, too many are
just drifting with the tide Of
time without purpose. The
young person is excused by rea>

older person should be brought
to view life in its seriousness, its
earueStne
The neophite should learn
early to have purpose in life
and to adhere to the purpose or
purposes for which he lives.
Years may be spent in aimless
living, which years will be al

somewhat in discussing the lack
.Of the prospective, has the fol>
lowing worthy reflections:
"Lite is a science, and unless
one regards it as such he is not
likely to make much of it. Most
Of US, however, do not take life
seriously enough for that. That

There is, we fancy, a lurking
conviction IN most Of our minds
that the world owes us a living:
and when a man fatteTs himself
that he IS a creditor in this
sense, he IS not apt to exercise
nis wits over much. If the world
does not give us that living

OuI fault when a mercantile con

"As a matter of fact, most OF
us, we suspect, are going through

seriousness is not essentially a

and in their conversation failed
slgnally to conform to this de

tative; a man is serious when he
is thoughtful, not merely when
he is displaying a grave demean-

"Now. thoughtfulness is the
result of three things. viz: the
collection of the widest rray Of
facts possible, the most careful
correlating OF these facts when

for thought is not thought at all;
it is mere impulse, aud can be

Be Ready to Encourage.

Tom belonged to settlement
school and the school had turn
lshed most, if not al the real
happiness he had ever known.
Here the good in him was devel>
Ioped until somehow he began
to forget the bad.
He was a sturdy little athlete
and won most Of the races and
other contests Cf strength.
Through various winsome traits
he had found his way TO the
heart of his teacher and she was
always interested III his success.
One day arrangements had
been made for foot race. Several
boys were to run, although
everybody was sure that Tom
would win.
The preIiminarjcs were settled
race started, and the boys were
off over the course. Tom led
clear and free for about halt the
distance, then, to the surprise\cf
everyone, Johnny began to gain
upon him. Jim was just behind
Johnny and running vigorously
Tom S feet seemed to grow heavy
and Johnny steadily decreased
the distance between them. until
finally he shot past Tom. and,
with a sudden squirt, gained the
goal iul1y five yards IN advance.
Jim was close behind, and he,
too, sped over the line little
ahead of Tom, enough to give
him second place and to leave
Tom out of the race.
"Why, Tom, what was the
matter?" asked his teacher as the
defeated boy came toward her
with the tears streaming down
his face
His only answer was a sob.
"Tell me what happened,
Tom. "
Tom dug his knuckles into
his eyes to dry his tears and
tried to tell his story.
Il started all right, you know
"Yes, you led them all"
"But when l got hall way
there the boys began to call, &c
it, Johnny, you're second
Hustle, Jim, you're gaining.
Run, Johnny, run, you're most
up to him But nobody said,
go it, Tom and somehow it
got into my legs and they
wouldn' t go" and Tom, drop
ping to the ground i'll a heap
cried as though his heart would
| break.
Moral MANY have fallen in
life because there was no one to
| say, go it, Tom"

LOST PORTRAITS

The Tooth anniversary of the INSTALL
alton of John Marshall as chief justice
of the United States, to be observed
February 4, makes timely the discovery
of two Marshall portraits. There are
paintings of him in the supreme court
building, one in the Boston Atheneum
and replica in possession of the Har-
ward law school, but very few others.
one of the newly discovered portraits
was found by a Pittsburg lawyer in his
attic; the other had been hanging in
Waukegan, ILL.,. for % years, with the
face turned to the wall. This latter
was made by Il. l.. Hammond, an ar
fist well known in the early part of
last century, and was in part a repro
duction of a portrait by Chester Hard
ing, for which Chief Justice Marshall
sat in 1928 For many years it was
owned by John Preston of New Ips-
witch, n. H., Mr.. Hammond's brother
in-law, and finally again came into the
artists possession. He thoughtlessly
painted on the reverse side a portrait
of his dead sister, and after Il years
gave the canvas, with a portrait on
either side, to his niece, Mrs. H. NJ
Underwood of Waukegan. The likeness
of the stern old jurist had no attrac-
ton for her, and the picture was franz
ed with reference to the smiling face of
the young woman on the other side
Since then this likeness of Chief Justice
Marshal has been staring at the wall.

NOMANSNADLY NEAPM.LTVED THREE CENTURIES
STYLES OF FANS THE LADIES
PREFER.
There is no Definite Style Now-And
Any Kind Can BE Carried That Is
Desired.

Some one has said that woman's
best weapon is her tongue But that
was certainly not as chivalrous a view
as the one expressed by the gallant old
COurtier who declared wOman's dead
lest weapon to be her fan.
And you come to think of it, what
artifCe article carries war into the
enemys camp one-half so effeCtually
as the curve of a pretty fan, just dis
closing a pretty wOmans rounded
/ cheek or the cupid's bow of her lips?
Just take one long ObserVant look
about the next crowded ball room you
happen to be in, and you'll find as many
fans as there are feminine peTsOnages
Are any of them permitted to swing
! in idle luxury? Aren't most, if indeed
not all, doing valiant service in the
same old warfare that has gone on
since the first coquette started the
fashion.
The fan is as irrevocably associated
with the Spanish woman as is the lace
mantilla with which she Grapes her
duslly hair. In her hands it is a weap-
on to be reckoned with. The Cuban
woman who made such a stir among
our brawny collegians this summer
were able to teach their American sis
ters a trick or two with the fan well
worth knowing.
AS to the style of fan to carry; it is
simply a matter of choice, and the vari-
tlN may ne even greater imam the NUM-
Der of gowns hanging up in your dress
ing room.
When you stop to think of it, fans
are not often the object of personal
selection; on the contrary, they usual
ly represent the mark of affection for
us of our dear friends and dearerrela-
tives. Where is the girl who doesn't
own to having at least one priceless
bit of ivory and gold or tortoise shell
and flmy lace tenderly swathed in cot
ton and carefully laid away with re-
gretful signs for the money so lavishly.
yet kindly, spent for such a useless
gift?
There was a time when the fan was a
necessary adjunct of the feminine toilet,
and if small fans were in large ones
were out; and when the glossy ostrich
feathers were the correct thing with
which to create a gentle breeze, then
the fan of shimmering gauze was ban
ished to ObScurity Now a woman car
res whatever fan happens to suit her
fancy.
There is always something sumptu-
Gus about gracefully waved plume of
of long curling ostrich feathers, even
though the breeze it creates is far too
gentle to be refreshing.
The real French fan is always in
good taste but it is not often carried.
The delicate material and exquisite
workmanship make it too much of a
treasureship make it too much of
breakage.-NeW York Herald.

ANDERSON, Ind, Jan. 3.-Joseph
Specie, a file worker, died here yes
terday at the home of Thomas Nealis.
His widow began to make preparations
for the funeral and the time was set
for Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, so
that the file workers might attend in

arrangements Mrs. Specie decided to
remove the remains of her husband
from the Nealis home to that of her
parents, but here an unforeseen diff

called to remove the body Mr.. Nealis
refused to give it up unless the widow
would first pay a large sum which he
held against her head husband. Nealis
claimed that he had boarded and wait
ed on the late Mr.. Specie during his
illness and that he was entitled to re-

WONDERFUL MARKsMANsHIP.
Apache Indian is Champion With
Calling Guns.

Every one who goes to the Arizona
penitentiary, in interested in the gat-
ling guns which are paced on the guard
stands arranged at intervals along the
top OF the walls. The largest and prin-
cipal gun is in charge of a young MeXi-
can who boasts of his Apache blood
He is rated as the best marksman with
gatling gun in the United States
Gen. McCoek of the United States
army says that his manipulation of the
complicated weapon and his accuracy
of aim are simply marvellous. The
young Mexican has an excellent field
for target practice over the ella mud
flats Just above the prison. A tin can
six inches in diameter placed at a dis
lance of 700 yards he will hit four times
out of five with the gatling gun. When
it is remembered that he can fire 500
shots a minute the possibility of a
convicts escape is too small to calcu-
late.
A recent test of the craftsmanship of
this young Apache gunner was made.
From behind a stone wall 100 tin cans
of the size of common fruit cans were
thrown one at a time haphaZard in the
air, just as clay pigeons are automa-
tically thrown at shooting matches.
The Apache had his gun ready and had
to aim as quick as a flash at each can
at a distance of $50 yards. He pierced
81 out of the 100 before they fell behind
the stone inclosure.-Yuma CorrespOn-
