Where Country Boys Are Ahead.

The result of the examinations of
applicants for appointment as naval sp-
prentices at the recruiting office in
Chicago would indicate that the aver
age boy from the rural districts is in
much better physical condition than
his brother who has been brought up
in large city. The figures show that
one out Of every two of the young men
from the country is able TO stand the
test, while of the city applicants four
out of every five fall short in some par
ticular. 1t is true, says the Chicago
Tribune, that the boy who is brought
up on the farm or in a small town is
likely to spend more Of his time out of
doors than the city urchin. He is also
subject to less temptation in the way
Of acquiring habits which affect his
health. 1t is therefore to be expected
that as a rule he will have larger
muscles and a more vigorous physique.
At the same time, it is a matter of
record that during the civil war the
regiments which were made up Of dry
goods clerks and Office men from the
great cities stood the strain of long
marches and the hardships of camp
life much better than those made up
of tall and stalwart lumbermen from
the forests of Maine. Courage, indur-
ance and grit are by no means alto
gether dependent on height, weight
aud mere physical strength The
training of the country tends to make
a man muscular and at the same time
slow in his motions. In the city quick
ness, nerve force and adaptability to
changing conditions are developed
The country boy is used to a regular
and simple system Of life. When sub
jected to an entirely new and often ir-
regular routine he frequently breaks
down, while his less robust city brother
finds no difficulty in adapting himself
to it. It may be in this case that many
city boys who have lost positions be-
cause of bad habits, the effects of
which are discovered by a physical ex-
animation, apply for entrance to the
navy as a last resort, while young men
from the country are more likely to be
attracted to the service because of the
fascination which it offers to a boy
brought up in a small, quiet town.

Steer Falls From Moving Train

A few days ago a car was loaded with
cattle at Vesta, Neb-, and started on
its way to South Omaha. When the
train arrived at Tecumseh, it was no.
ticed that the car door was open, but
the stock seemed to be all right. While
the train was yet at the depot a steer
came running down the track below
ing for its mates. he was driven to
the stock yards and again loaded into
the car. Investigation disclosed the
fact that the steer had fallen out Of the
car more than mile out Of town and
being uninjured had at once given
chase to rejoin his com panions.

Refused to Strip.

NASHVILLE, March ia day or
SO ago a slim wiry looking individ-
ual, with flashing black eyes and
nicely cut cameo features, walked
into the recruiting Office of the
United States army at Helenwood
and asked 20 be enlisted. After
filling out the proper blanks the
slender looking individual was told
TO divest himself of his wearing ap-
parel, as he would have to submit
to physical examination.
Upon hearing this the applicant
became highly indignant, and with
a volley of oaths declared he would
never submit TO any such ordeal.
The recruiting officers realized that
representative Of the weaker sex
was endeavoring TO gain admittance
into the regular army.
After allowing her indignation
gradually to effervesce, and ex-
tracing solemn promise from the
recruiting officers that they would
never divulge her name, this mod
ern Belle Starr walked out of the
office, mounted her horse and rode
away like wind, leaving no one any
wiser as to whence she came or
whittier she was going.

A Woman Sign Painter.


The best sign painter in Knox
vile, Tenn, is woman. She took
up that business because she liked
to work with paint and brush, bat
couldn't study art in the elaborate
fashion of other girls, and she saw
an opportunity to earn a good liv-
ing and make things around her
better to look at by improving
some of the unsightly signs in the
neighborhood.
She learned 10 handle paint brush
es and to carry out her ideas by GO
ing TO work in painters shop for
four years and thus paying her way
at the same time. Now she is in
business for herself and is doing
we'll.
Any day she may be seen about
Knoxville in a golf skirt, hut in
stead of golf clubs she carries a
small ladder, paint box, brushes
and foot rule. And every body
there says that Knoxville street
signs are very much more attractive
than they used to be.
