ON BEING POPULAR.
The New vsew--A Thing That Is Ev-
cry VVOman's Blrthright.

There Is a new view about a wo-
mans right to want TO be popular II
IS ia harmony with the modern view
Of her right TO Dee beautiful Ii is a
very honest and straightforward view.
Briefly stated IN The New Idea Maya
zine Il 81:
Beauty is Il normal condition; hence
the love of IL Is not only sane. but to
be cultivated. TO be charming and
gracious and generous is to be loved,
and TO be much loved Is 10 be popular:
so, again, popularity rightly consider
ed, is not only sane, but also condi.
ton 10 be cultivated.
THIS wise, new conception Of the
right 70 want 70 be a part Of the beau.
~ aud charm Of The universe may be
q natural reaction from Puritanism,
and II may Be Il wider understanding
OF the fnct chat lovcliness IS normal

was q premium on deformity of body

It mny be. of course, That the Amer
lean girl has not done an these things
but certainly She stands for them, an,
her popularity OH two continents Is ga
prone.
The point worth considering, Il Seems
Ca me, is The possible ethical develop
ment TO be achieved In the gaining o.
popularity. To be much liked and de
sired nowadays a woman need not b'
beautiful or witty or rich or the In
heriter OF social prestige.

WAITED FOR HIS REVENGE.
After Two Years Drummer Got Even
With a Faithless Competitor.
New York Evening Pc


Drummers' stories are not Sc plentiful
as they were years ago in the days of
slow trains. inefficient telegraphs and
fierce riValrieS between merchants who
probably be acting together in some sort
of a combinat ton. Here IS a yarn from
the old flavor about it: Two drummers,
Benson and Moore, became acquainted
on the road and though they were strong
competitors, they came to be the best of
friends. They met at a hotel in Raleigh,
n. c., one night and conversation de-
Veloped the fact that they intended to
work the same towns on one OF the roads
leading out OF Raleigh the next day.
Both counted on working four towns be
fore sunset.
1t was in the summer time and neither
man was anxious for a contest of wits.
so when Moore proposed a community or
interests Benson eagerly accepted his
proposition. There were seven towns and
they each took three, agreeing to meet
at the seventh after the days work was
over. When they reached the seventh
town they put up together in the same
room at the leading hotel Each had done
a good days business. but IN order TO
keep in practice they decided to fight It
out over the business in this town the
next morning
about the fight of the next day. Benson
was q very heavy sleeper, but Moore
promised to wake him at an early hour
He did not keep his promise. Benson
awoke at 10 O'Clock TO find Moore gone
and the room locked tight. BY the time
he was able to get out and down town
Moore had sold to every merchant in
the place and caught the limited for
Raleigh. 1t took Benson more than two
years TO get even. At last his opportunity
came. Yellow fever was raging on the
gulf coast and a shotgun quarantine had
been established in southern Alabama.
Benson landed in one Of the best towns
and learned that Moore was to arrive
the next day. Without hesitation Ben
son informed the excited authorities of
the town that a man who had been eN-
posed 10 FEVER IN a Mlsslsslppi town mao
declared his intention to defy the quar-
antine. He gave an accurate description
of Moore and the officials began to
watch every up train. When Moore
reached the town the next morning he
was nabbed by the local authorities,
placed in the pest house and kept there
for three days. In the meantime Benson
secured all the business in every town
in the surrounding section Before iedV-
ing he wired Moore his congratulations,
