Women. strength In Tears.

The weakest woman in all the world
is armed with one weapon against
which mans pride and strength are
powerless. Her tears will win when
everything else has failed. A woman's
tears move her own tender sex as well
as the sterner masculine brutes. Old
and young yield to their potential
spell, and when the woman happens to
be pretty there is no telling what will
follow when her bright eyes grow
misty with these messengers from a
wounded heart. 1t is folly to attempt
to stand out against woman's tears.
They have caused revolutions. They
have made and unmade many a great
cause. They can be met in only one
way unconditional surrender.-E1-

A Joke o,Ren Didn't Appreciate.

Max O'Rell was booked to lecture in
Hartman's hall in Grand Rapids a
number of years ago. Carroll Hart
man was having serious time In in

see the merits Of lecturers.
There was a big sale for the ORell
lecture and Hartman wandered over
to the Morton House. In the afternoon

him his fee Of 500.
But have not delivered the lecture
yet. Suppose l should die before to-
night" said O'Rell, who could not I'M
derstand why a manager should pay
for something not yet delivered.
ooh, that's all right. I'd exhibit

witty Frenchman never recovered from
the shock of Hartman's remark. At
any rate, he refused to lecture in Grand
Rapids again.-Detroit Free Press.

During all the ages nature has ia

conditions which make them far differ

ant, than any other in the world. OF
all the creations Of the living world
none is so great in size, so majestic in
presence, as the mighty trees of the
Sierra and the Cascades. For here the
air is always fertile with moisture,
clouds blown in from the Pacific ocean

The soil is deep and spongy with CEN
turtles of decomposing vegetable matter,
furnishing an unequaled nurturing
place for vegetation, and there are no
extremes of heat in summer or depths
of cold in winter, says the Century
Magazine.
Every condition has been favorable
to unexampled eXuberance Of growth
not only of the largest trees. but of all

THE LARGER FOOT.
See If This Shoe Salesman's Theory
Fits Your Case.

"The question of which foot to fit
first is an important one to u.s. said the
shoe salesman. 1T may seem strange to
you, but it is rarely that we do not ex-
perience some trouble in fitting one
foot while the other is easily covered
A popular belief obtains that the left
foot of every person is the hardest TO
fit, and consequently many shoe clerks
always try shoe on that foot first. 1t
is not true. however, according to my
observation, that there is any infieXible
rule rs to which foot to try first. 1t IS
true. nevertheless, that in majority
of cases if you succeed in fitting the left
foot YOU will have no trouble with the
right. My practice is to try both feet
before l pronounce a pair Of shoes a
perfect fit. Then / am sure of avoiding
any mistake growing out Of peculiar
ities of foot formation. No two per-
sons have feet formed exactly alike,
and the shoe salesman who thinks so
and is governed accordingly will meet
with many complaints.
"For some time 1 pondered over the
problem of fiSing shoes to feet, and es-
pecially as to why the left foot should
be considered the standard by which
to be governed. The only rational the
DRY I have ever been able to evolve Is
very simple one when you come to
consider it, Nine out of ten persons
you meet are right handed, as we say.
About one person in ten, or perhaps the
per cent is even less than that, uses his
left hand. If you will observe persons
who use the right hand when they are
standing and talking they invariably
rest their weight on the left foot. And,
vice versa. left handed person will
rest his or her weight on the right foot.
The result is that with right handed
persons the left foot is probably frac-
ton larger than the right foot, and the
shoe clerk must inevitably find this to
be q fact sooner or later."-New Or

ROMANCE IN VARIED GUlSE.
Definition of the Word Is Susceptible
CT Wide liberalization.


What is romance? Even the COLO
ouial use of the term is varied. When
we say you are romancing" or call
anything romantic as distinguished
from what is real or what is true we
mean one thing, but quite another
when we apply the term romantic to
natural scenery. And in this applica-
ton we must distinguish between the
effect upon us of that which we call
romantic because of human associa-
tons with certain sights or sounds and
that wildness Of nature which we call
romantic because Of its absolute dis
ISOLATION from anything human.
Keeping out of mind the use Of the
word in artistic and literary criticism,
let us try to find what element Of
reconcilement there is in the diversities
of colloquial usage.
In all that is generally called TO-
mantle in the cases above mentioned
there is the common element Of
strangeness. We easily revert to what
must have been the original sense Of
the word in its connection with those
medieval notifications of the Latin
tongue known as the romance Ian
guages The Saxon or Celt would
have found his native tongue sufficient
for all ordinary needs, but If he
caught the Roman air in any way, by
travel or refinement Of taste and habit.
he would, to meet the newly developed
need, borrow the graces Of the Roman
speech-that is, he would romance

The Best Way to Preserve n Body.

There is no other way in which a
body can be preserved so long, leaving
freezing and mummification out Of the
question, as by burial in lead coffin.
If the receptacle is alright, lack Of
oxygen brings putrefaction almost If
not quite to pause. and the face Of
defunct person may be recognizable
after a long period of time. The at
tempts frequently made TO destroy
bodies by covering them with lime
usually have the opposite effect, pre-
serving them by keeping out the air.

Fanatics all over the circuit are be-
coming desperate enough to write sin
cere notes Of inquiry to T. Hickey re-
garding this unkind passing UP of the
great American wash day. A close
study Of the table of playing dates
compels the belief that the league lead
er got his data from mutilated CAL
endar.
Another theory is that. having
started in life as proprietor of a
smoke house that boosted of a COM
plete slate Of all the daily games and
standings Of the clubs, T. Hickey had
a chance to study the ball tossers at
close range. Being a close observer,
the league leader noted at the tanning
bees of the stars who gathered in to
look at the results and stand in the
way Of customers that playing to the
stands was a popular stunt with many
Of the famous ones every time the
morning papers announced a ladies'
day.
T. Hickey remembered this when he
assumed the reins of a baseball league,
and spent several years endeavoring
to hit upon a plan to make the play
even every day in the week without
putting binders on the more handsome
Spangle Wearers.
Ladies' day could not be rubbed
from the list of extraordinary attrac-
lions, so the shreWd president did the
best he could. Knowing that the gen.
erous hearted magnates were victims
of the habit of throwing open their
gates to the women the day that the
Washtub called loudly for attention, T.
Hickey carefully punched out every
Monday possible on the playing list.
In doing this t. Hickey knew that he
was drawing singing remarks his way,
but having studied the ball players at
close range he was determined to save
the game.
Our esteemed club owner, the pop-
u1ar Mr.. Havenor, of Milwaukee. and
fe wothers have long ago noted Mr..
Eickey's yelled Intentions and are do
ing the best possible by extending an
other free day to the members Of the
better sex. This completely nullif1es
the league leaders scheme, and, with
out doubt. the inventor of ball toss
er's binder will be hailed with delight
by the president Of the American as
