LOOKING Under the Hat.

You seldom will find brainy man
with a round head The head that
contains let's OF brains either is very
long from front to back or else irregu-
lar. You can learn something OF a
mans mental ability by the hat he
wears. If his head is so bumDy that
it seems as if he could never get
hat to fit him he probably is gen.
ius or crack-a-iack in some particu-
lar line. If his head is long from
front to back. he is a clear thinker
and smart as whip. So if your hat
costs more money than your friends
hat does. and you are harder to fit, be
consoled by considering that your
brain is worth more.-New York

Two weeks later Hillboro was
scandalized at the news that Frank
Horstman had taken Judge Lafan's
stenographer, Nella Webb, to the
Knights of Pyt.hias dance at Ames

Hillboro boys called "stunner."

petulence, said to himself that Nella

liked, was a jolly good chum. She

Frank said she would have been the
very best sort, If she had not smoked
cigarettes on the quiet. But at any

said she hated spoony men.
When Clarice heard the gossip, she
shut herself up with a new paper

the firm belief that the heroine of the
tale had never suffered a tenth as

as soon as Frank had established his
right to a partnership in his fathers
business.
Therefore all Hillboro was greatly
amazed, in fact, properly shocked,
when Amy Judson told Carrie Frayne
that Clarice had told her that every
thing was over between her and
Frank; indeed, they had never been
really engaged-just a foolish boy and
girl love affair-that was all.
And it certainly did look as if every
thing were over between the two.
Frank had come to her bubbling over
with details of a little transaction
which meant much for his prospects.
Clarjce had looked first bored, then
irritable, and finally had said she was
tired of petty business affairs. Frank
mad followed this up with a remark
about their common interest in his
future, and then-the deluge.

AS KNIGHTS OF OLD
BY WINTHROP SANFORD.

From a long course of novel read
ing Clarice Rector had graduated into
n nermanent, if self generated, atmos-
phere of romance. She parted her hair
madonna wise\and coiled it low on
her neck, with a creamy camelia
peeping from above one pink ear. She
affected violet tints and clinging
gowns, and, after five of her favorite
heroines had been described as pos
sessing svelte figures, Clarice took TO
delsarte and vigorously denied herself
sweets.
Frank Horstman had graduated
from the high school into his fathers
store and promised to become what
llis father termed "a business man
from the ground up" He wore ready
made clothes and banked a part of his
-camelia a rose and asked her whether
she was not afraid of tripping over
her long frocks.
whereupon Clarice decided that
Frank was not her affinity. A man
who could not differentiate between
the flowers worn by his sweetheart
and those chosen by other girls, who
preferred flounces to slender, allur-
ing lines" as her favorite novelist de-
scribed the clinging, short-waisted
gowns in which she and the aforesaid
heroines appeared, was certainly not
the man to make her happy.
Further, Frank had never said that
he wanted to make her happy. He
had an unpleasant prosaic faculty for
remarking, as he took the Rector or
der over his fathers counter.
Il planted twenty more at the First
National yesterday Clarice 1 think

That morning Ted Rector dropped
into the store to have his skates oiled
and frightened. Teddy had not per-

to interfere with his friendship for a
man who was an authority on sports.
81 could have had this done at
home" he confided to Frank, only
nobody has time to notice me. Every
body's working on Clarice's dress for
Judsons party. She's going to be
Queen Elizabeth. Gee, you ought to
see the ruff1e she's going to wear
round her neck! And Jay Hughes is
going to be Sir Walter Raleigh, the
chap that lays down his cloak for her
to walk on. l heard him tell her there
wasn't coat in all Christendom good

webbing screw a vicious twist.

Ted. Hes the mushiest ever. Don't
see why you let him cut you out with
Clarice. 1 don't want him for a
brother"
Frank scowled over his work all
morning, jumbled his orders to the
utter distraction of the delivery force,
and finally knocked off work early in
the afternoon and went into executive
session with Mrs. Deems, the seam
STRESS whose geraniums had been one
girl of his heart.
The night of the Judson masquer-
ade, the entire Rector family gathered
in solemn conclave to watch the fair
Clarice receive the finishing touches
of her regal costume. There was a
sharp twang of the doorbell and
Clarice exclaimed nervously:
"Oh, dear, he is too early. Teddy,
you run down and tell Mr.. Hughes
I'll be ready in a few moments.
Mother. where is my fan? And. OH
father, you're sitting on my mask"
Teddy accomplished his errand with
amazing haste and returned with an
odd-looking, three-cornered note.
HE says TO read it at once" was
the mysterious message of the excited
boy.
Clarice reached for the mote then
handed 1t with nervous laugh to her
mother.

Value of VivisectiOn.
Much of the recent progress in
medical science has been the result
of vivisection, to which so much objec-
ton is made in certain quarters. But
even if vivisection entailed all the suf-
fering on the part of the lesser ami
mails which these gentlemen attribute
to 1t, 1t would still be right. Even then
1t would be only the sacrificing of the
lower to the higher animals, and this
is in accordance with the inexorable
law of nature that insists on the COM
pei satory survival of the fittest.
But, in truth, vivisection does not
entail suffering. The life of the ply
sician is given over to the alienation
OF human suffering, and he would be
the last person to infiict pain needless
ly upon any living creature.
AS l have already indicated the
foundation of the progress recently ac-
complished, as we'll as that greater
progress which is hoped for, lies in as
sisting nature to effect her own cures
by adding to the patients power of
resistance. Drugs are sometimes a
help, but pure air, pure water, light,
more light-these are the great agents,
the use of which, properly directed,
are now the physicians chief reliance.
AS we learn and practice more along
those lines, the number of diseased
persons in proportion to the whole is
sure to diminish steadily and marked
ly. The race of the future with better
education along these lines will be
stronger, healthier, and, therefore, on
a higher level mentally, morally and
physically, than 1t now is or ever has
been.
THE many medical congresses now
being held and the discussions and the
interchange of views which these give
rise to, the eager study which the ply
sicians are giving to their profession,
and the wide general interest taken in
everything pertaining to health, are
big factors in the progress of the pres
ent and the future. To these should
be added the vast influence of the mod
ern press which is always ready 10
open its columns for the spread of
such information among the people"
