ut is deeply and touchingly signifi-
cant of the uplifting influence Of wo-
man over msn that the first heart
throb of boy is always accompanied
by ablutionary symptoms" says Doro-
thy Dix in Ainslee's. 1.-THE earliest In
dication that a masculine creature
gives of susceptibility to the fair sex
is when he first voluntarily washes be;
hind his ears. Up to that time his
morning bath, except upon compulsion,
has only described a small circle, TAX
ing in his eyes, a segment of his1cheeks
and his chin. A thorough scfubbing
he has regarded as one of the tortures
of the inquisition, combing his hair he
has looked upon as foolish waste OF
time that might have been spent on
tops and marbles, while brushing his
clothes and shoes has seemed a con-
temptible trucking to the effete Gus
toms of society that was unworthy Of
an intelligent human being.
Suddenly all this is changed. Some
morning the boy appears abnormally
clean. He develops a mania for scent
ed soap. His ears are beyond re-
proach, and IL he has the making Of a
lover in him he begide to manicure his
nails. He becomes critical about col
lars and neckties. His family say,
How Tommy is improyingr and his
mother congratulates herself that her
lectures are bearing fruit at last.
"In reality 1t is the first premonition
of love-vague, inartlculate, intangible,
but unmistakable. No man ever real

Tommy's newly awakened desire to fix

woman. He does not understand its
portentousness. and he may still out

the die has been cast. The disturbing

The Capitol and the White House.


The street urchins of Washington to.
day would hardly know by the names
assigned them on the original maps the
two chief buildings planned for the
national capital. The capitol was then
the Congress house" and the White
House the Presidents house." The
exposure intended for the front in each
building has since become for practical
purposes the back The capitol was
made to face east, but landowners
pushed up their prices so that the city
grew on the west and is there today.
The White House was made to face
the Potomac river on the south. after
the fashion of the Virginia mansions of
its day, but is thought of by the Amerl
can people as facing Pennsylvania av.
enue, or toward the north. - Youths

The Mousquetaire. Partisan jour-
nal founded by Alexandra Dumas,
grew and fiourished for short time
and then became extinct. 1t was car
ried On during a brilliant existence
with an astonishing disregard Of bust
ness methods commonly in vogue. Its
staff was the largest and most varied
ever known. Persons would walk into
the office, propose working for the pa
per and find themselves Mt once ac-
cepted.
What will you allow meT new
man would ask.
"Whatever you like, my boy" Du-
mas would return. by the way" he
would explain to every new aspirant,
I'VE must understand one thing: l
mean you to be handsomely paid. You
must have 1000 francs a month. and
If you should want a months pay In
advance now, don't scruple to ask for
it."
Everybody was dazzled, and Dumas
himself more than all the rest. No
business enterprise, however, could ex-
list on such basis and the journal be-
gan to languish. Then a man named
Boule proposed taking the speculation
out of Dumas hands. He offered the
great man ZOE francs n day, which
meant more than $1,000 year.
Here" said Boule. Is checkbook
full of those little tinted leaves you are
so fond OF. Every morning you have
only to write your name at the foot OF
one. send 1t into the office and touch
your 100 francs.
Dumas loved money, and his face
beamed with delight. "But suppose"
smd he, that some day should want
300 or 400 francsT
"WeIl, all you have to do Is to SEND
in three or four of your checks. Moth
ing is more simple"
The book lay on the authors desk,
delightful and ready resource. Did q
creditor call? A slip of paper. and he
was paid. A poor woman was about to
be turned out into the street. A few
more slips, and she WAS relieved. At
the end Of the week nothing was left
of the book but the cover. Then Boule
changed his mode of procedure
