ONE ON THE OLD MAN.-The youth
had adopted the pompadour method of
combing his hair and his father didn't
like it. The latter had an idea that
there was only one sensible and manly
way to comb the hair, that was to part
it on the either side. Everything
else was dudish and affected in his
opinion. Only a woman was privileged
to take liberties with old established
methods.
Young man." he said as he looked
the youth over,."you look like a fool"
There was no discussion and shortly
thereafter an old friend of the family
came in.
Its startling" he said, by way of
pleasant comment, "how much you re-
semble your father"

swered the youth.
The old gentleman looked hard at his
son for moment.
WELL" he conceded at last, II guess
your brain hasn't been affected by your
fool notions of hair dressing as yet

AZ Legal terms are often confusing
to those outside the profession, but
Judge Cleaveland, of New Haven tells
of an exceptional mix-up in which ig-
norance of the law was combined with
English spoken with a Weber and
Fields movement.
Judge Cleaveland's office is termed
Surrogate in New York, but in Connec-
ticut is called judge Of probate. One
day a German woman came into court
and announced excitedly:
"Chudge, my husband has joost died
detested. He left me and three young
infidels and 1 want an executioner ap-
pointed"
His honor was too staggered to re-
ply Immediately. The woman, fearing
some mistake, added:
"Ain't this the right place? Amt you
the chudge Of reprobates?"-New York

ADVISED THE CoURT.-Jim Webster,
a colored gentleman, was brought up
before a western judge for fowl steal
ing.
After the evidence had been given
the justice with a perplexed look said:
But I do not understand, Webster,
how it was possible for you to steal
those fowls when they were roosting
right under the owners window and
there were two vicious dogs in the
yard"
1T wouldn't do yer bit Of good,

dem chickens, for yer wouldn't do it
yerself if yer tried it forty times, an
yer might get yer hide full Of buck

yer wants to commit any rascality do
it on de bench, whar yer am at home"

but the affair had now gone too far to

upon his arrival at home young Nc

Of his injuries by his mother, a very

the story of his second encounter with
Mordicai, Mrs. Mccarthy said to her
son:

as the place Of meeting, and the time
was set for daybreak the next morning.

both parties, with their seconds and
the doctors arrived on the field. A quar-

action, behind a chump Of trees, in her
coach and unattended except by her
two Negro servants, sat the intrepid
mother of Mccarthy. She had come to
see her sons honor vindicated, to see
the stain upon the Mccarthy name
wiped out. Her son was apt to fall, to
be killed, even. To her an unavenged
insult to the family name was worse
than death itself. Being away some
distance she could not see well, and
she had instructed her servants to go
forward and hasten to her with the
news Of the result as soon as shots had
been exchanged.

and firm, the woman is selfish, morbid
and dominating. 1t Is the mouth that
desires to rule everything, and its own
er will ride to an end no matter over
how many bodies.
But where the line Is flexible, the chin
weak and the corners inclined to droop
there is selfshness without decision
egotism without character, melancholy
without cause.
The short upper lip, with depression
under the nose and the inclination up
ward at the corners, Is the merry
mouth. Here are fun and laughter
and the man who marries the owner
will find a wife with happy traits.
She will be appreciative of everything
done for her; quick to smile, and SYM
pathetic to pain, but never tragic. She
will have an artistic bent, and If the
line of her lower lip is graceful, her
tastes are daintily refined. She may be
trifie hoydenish, but never coarse.
If the corners dimple deeply, as they
turn upward, the lips are quick in re-
partee. Love Of ridicule will be strong
but not in a malicious vein.
Unusually red lips denote cruelty and
rapacity. Cleopatra had such lips.
A small mouth with lips slightly COM
pressed give an expression of shrewd-
ness and worldly wisdom. They say
quite plainly:
You may be able to take me In, but
want to be very careful that you don't
get taken in yourself"
Lips that are firm and a tri1e grim
are never afraid Of the truth. Lips that
are straight and finely cut, and when In
repose not unlike the lips Of statue
so perfect in their outline, belong to
cold nature.
AS to a mans mouth-if man has
cupids bow, have no speaking ac-
quaintance with him.
Did you ever see a man with small
mouth amount to anything? No. Did
you ever see a woman with a broad
mouth who was not genius? No. Did
YOU ever see a man with arched lips
drawn down at the corners who was not
either a cry baby or fiend? No. Did
you ever see a man with a straight
mouth and thin lips who did not cling
to a purpose until it was accomplished?
No. Did you ever see man with lips
turned inside out who was not an en-
thusiast? No.
Thick-lipped men are generally i'm
pulsive; thin-lipped ones, secretive. A
long upper lips means "get there" A
short upper lip means ''let things take
their se."-Exchange

SENSIBLE TO THE LAsT.-A good story
is told of late Dublin doctor famous
for his skill and also his great love of
money. He had a constant and enrich
ing patient in an old shopkeeper. This
old lady was terribly rheumatic and un-
able to leave her sofa. During the doc
tors visits she kept a one pound note
in her hand, which duly went into DR..
C.'s pocket One morning he found her
lying dead on the sofa. Signing deeply.
the doctor approached, and, taking her
hand in his, he saw the fingers closed
on his fee.

it! Sensible to the last!"

STUDY HER LIPS.
Maxims of Sheik Abdallah and
Others About Choosing a Wife.

MaXfms OF Shefk Abdallah anu
Others About Choosing a Wife.
In choosing a wife, let her be wo-
man whose lips do not droop at the
corners. This is the advice Of Sheik
Abdallah, the Persian sage.
If a woman's lips droop, her hus-
bands life will be perpetual mourning
time. Nor yet should they curve too
much upward, for that denotes friv-
olity.
Beware of the under lip that rolls out
ward, for that woman has no great
conscience. Select for wife one whose
lips are straight, not thin, for then she
is a shrew, but with just the fulness
necessary to perfect symmetry.
The mouth has more to do with MAX
ing or marring the beauty Of the face
than any other feature.
Few things indeed are so charming
as a lovely mouth and few so rarely
seen. There will be fine eyes and beau
tiful hair in profusion, but a perfect
mouth is hard to find.
It is not a feature that engages the
attention of unrefined or uncultivated
people, who are attracted by bright
eyes and brilliant complexion, but to
the reader of human nature the mouth
is an interesting study.
The cupids bow is the traditional
mouth of beauty, because, for one rea-
son, it gives an arch expression to the
face. To cultivate a cupid's bow, be
careful in closing the mouth not to let
the upper lip protrude; that it should
obviously extend beyond the lower lip
is excessively ugly, but, on the other
hand, it should not recede. 1t should
a trif1e more than touch the upperlips.
A mouth with the upper lip curved,
lower lip straight, full and we'll defined,
and a depression beneath, shows high
artistic sense, love Of ease and beau
ty, a fine moral nature and certain
coldness of temperament. If the chin
Is firm and rounded, that bespeaks de-
termination and physical strength.
The mouth Of sagacity is large and
always we'll closed. The line Of the lip
is firmly defined and a certain tight
ness about the jaws, when in repose,
is noticeable.
That woman will be keen, clever In
conversation and analytical. She will
not be easily deceived, and while good
conversationalist, knows well how to
act upon Talleyrand's maxim that
Language is given to conceal thought" "

the lines between the lips clear cut

ginning of the war it exceeded the linn
its of prudence. Although general Of an
army that is scarcely organized, COM
mander Of raw soldiers without expert
ence, making war among people who
are jealous of their liberty and Of their
property, as we'll as miserly in regard
to the succor which the war demands,
not even the slightest murmur has ever
been raised against him.
Political passions and civil dissen-
sions have been reused to the highest
pitch, but his character and reputation
have preserved him from every attack.
Having become the most powerful
among his fellow citizens he has shown
himself to be the most obedient sub
ject and the most faithful to the orders
of his superiors.
IF those who have known him inti-
mately deny him all these rare and
precious qualities which constitute a
great man, they cannot, however, deny
that it would be difficult to unite in a
more eminent degree the most of those
qualities which should belong to his po-
sition and which were necessary for
conducting the Revolution to happy
end"
The so-called murder Of M. de Ju-
knoxville" occurred in May, 1754, and
M. de Jumonville, with nine others, had
the misfortune to be killed because
Washington surprised them near Fort
Necessity when on their way to attack
him. Washington was then a lieuten-
ant colonel and in command Of an expe-
dition ordered by Governor Dinwiddie
to drive the French and Indians away
from the Ohio river.
Jumonville commanded a counter
French expedition and was murdered"
just as any other person Is murdered
who is killed on the field Of battle in
time Of war. In addition to killing ten
of the enemy Washington took % pris-
oners.
Luzerne is equally inaccurate in his
charge that Washington endeavored to
throw on the French the blame for de-
lay, in getting away from Newport to
Virginia. So far from that being the
case Washington endeavored in every
way to heal the irritation between the
French and American officers because
