Paradox In Taste of the Sexes.


Did you ever notice what women
eat?" asked a restaurant man the other
day. See those four women who have
just come in? I'll wager that l can
tell you what they will order before
they are seated. 1t will be either sal
ad, cream puffs or chocolate eclairs."
The women seated themselves, toyed
with the bill of fare and, sure enough,
ordered chocolate eclairs and coffee.
''If it were not for the men, we would
never sell piece of pie or meat" the
restaurant man continued. For some
reason women rebel at the thought of
beefsteak and such things. They want
something dainty. Even the feminine
acrobats of the stage close their eyes
in horror at the thought of roast beef"
When it comes to candy, though,
there is a paradox. Confectioners say
that almost as much candy is pur-
chased by men as by women. The
men buy it often to eat themselves too.
Zone of the best patrons we have Is a
former football player now practicing
law in this city," said candy man
yesterday. ''He eats everything in the
way of sugar from chocolate drops to
cream candy and always has box of
1t in his desk, just as some other men
have cigars to hand out. If you want
to make him angry, say that effeminate
men are the only ones who eat candy,
and he will give you line of argument
that would sell goods if he were a
drummer. r."-Philadelphia Telegraph.

His weight In Gold For the Poor.

"a Hindoo stood in scale, and hes
weight was measured in goldpieces.
That" said traveller, was the strange
spectacle that l once beheld in India.
There was a great crowd looking on,
and it took great many goldpieces to
equal the Hindoo's weight, for he was
fat. Finally, though, the big scale bal
anced, and then everybody began to
shout: "Tulabhara! Tulabhara! Tu-
labhara!' The fat man got out of the
scale. He and his friends took the
gold, and, going through all the poorer
quarters of the town, they distributed
1t among the destitute. This, was in
formed, was kind of religious cere-
mony among certain sect. Every
male at the time in his life when it
was thought his weight would be
greatest was put in a scale, and gold to
equal him in bulk was measured out
and distributed in aims. AS a rule,
each man was forty-seven when his
weight was taken. They hold in India
that at forty-seven a man is at his
fattest. t.'-Philadelphia Record

evening dress the men she had frown-

But theYe was no sign of her mother.
One wing was ablaze, while smoke
poured from every window Of the main
building. Perhaps it was too late.
With cry of anguish she broke
through the inner circle of figures and

Sparks from the burning landing above
rained down upon her head, but she
flung open the door of her mothers
room and staggered to the bed. The
room was empty.
She turned back blindly toward the
door. Smoke whirled in upon her,
choking, suffocating. The very walls
seemed to flash into flame.
She fell forward.
She awoke to the delicious coolness
of water dashed upon her. As she
opened her heavy eyes two anxious
faces bent over her. One was her
mothers, pale with terror, but I'M

she recognized 1t in spite of burned
and blackened skin and singed hair;
1t was Jacks.
With a little sigh of content she
closed her eyes again. These two that
she loved best were safe. Yes, she
acknowledged it to herself now she
loved Jack Selwyn.
And he had saved her. She had felt
his strong arm catch her when she fell.
After all the months of her studied un-
kindness he had risked his life to save
hers. She had been blind indeed, but
she had read her heart in the light of
the flames.
Now she put out her hand timidly

his to have and hold forevermore.

The art of cutting whole cheese in
to halves is known to few. Usually 1t
is attempted with a knife, and the re-
suit is not successful. The proper way
to do it is to use fine wire. Take Il
length of it sufficient to go round the
end; twist each of these ends around Il
clothespin so as to form two handles;
grasp these handles in the hand, loop
the wire around the cheese and pull
with a will; the cheese will fall apart
in cleanly cut halves. This method is
also excellent If bars of soap are to be
cut

Ohio Women workers.

Statistics recently gathered in Ohio
show that the average wage paid to
women is S4S3 a week and the average
cost of living 1924 week. The high
est average pay is that of women max
ing awnings, tents, etc; the lowest
that of girls in the big machine shops,
who make bolts, nuts and washers. In
Columbus women coffin makers aver
age $6.S3 per week. Low wages are
supposedly due TO lack of organization
among women.

to be found in one of Sewell Ford's
stories in Horses Nine" Here 1t Is:
In the stalls at Gray Oaks stables were
many good hunters, but none better
than Pasha. Cream white he was,
from Tire tip of his splendid yard long
tail to his pink Tipped muzzle. His coat
was as silk plush, his neck as supple
as swans, and out of his big, bright
eyes there looked such intelligence that
one half expected him to speak. His
lines were all long, graceful curves,
and when he danced daintily on his
slender legs one could see the muscles
aex under the delicate skin.

Why Many YOUNG Men FaI,

1t is the fault and the cause of the
failure OF go many bright, capable
young men that, being put into GER
tain workday rut, they make no effort
to climb or even crawl out of it; thew
do not seek the work that is not rou-
tine and go beyond the terms of the
BOND In search Of additional labor in
order to attract the approving notice
OF their employers. They do not GO
to their posts before nor remain at
them after the fixed hour. They are
content to do enough, and no more
than enough, to earn their hire. The
life of the average clerk is generally
genteel, easy, Clearly; he need not

ELI abeth"

The narrow, hot, sitting concert
hall was filed to overlooking with
the class of people who follow in the
wake of the song-and-dance girl in
the far West, paying lavishly for the
entertainment furnished by weak,
unmusical voice singing to the ac-
compartment of a wheezy piano or a
discordant fiddle called by courtesy
violin. On this occasion the audi
ence, composed mostly of miners and
cowboys, were treated to a surprise,
for the girl who sung and danced was
both young and pretty, with less
rouge and more natural charms than
any of her predecessors in the con-
cert hall stage.
She could sing, too, and that with
out straining her voice into a dis
cordance, and she danced the most
difficult fancy dances with a grace
and intelligence that showed not only
superior training but an artistic con-
ception of its value And her stage
by-play and side coquetries were as
effusive and harmless as those of a
child. The too vivid color of her yell
low hair was undoubtedly due to
chemicals, but it was one strong con-
cession to the tastes of her audience
She was billed as "The Girl With the
Yellow Hair" and tried faithfully to
live up to her reputation.
She was singing, with quaint
humor that had O serious side to st
a popular travesty, dancing down the
rude platform stage between the
lines:
ANY old place under my hat
Is home, sweet home. to me-"
As she danced to the edge of the
stage she stopped singing and for
moment stood poised motionless on
the tips of her slim, well formed feet,
her face rigid like a mask, quick
look of terror in her eyes. A man,
roughly dressed, with his trousers
tucked into his boots, had just enter
ed the place. He carried a buggy
whip in his hand, and was greeted
with cries of "Sit DOWN." "Stop inter-
ruptin' the singin'," and thankful for
the diversion of this criticism, 1.-THE
Girl With the Yellow Hair" started
her song anew and sung with so
much spirit and charm that she was
wildly applauded and danced off the
stage kissing her hand with inimita-
BILE grace to her fascinated audience,
who encored her rudely and loudly,
only to be told by the manager that
she would not appear again.
She had retreated to the back of
the hall to an alcove that served as
a dressing-room, where the man who
had disturbed her singing found her.

was not purposely brutal, but his
tones were hard and even-hard as
nails. The woman caught his arm.

she had time for severe and scourg-

the state had given the child to the
father, and the step she had taken in
a fit of foolish jealousy had become
irrevocable. John Demming had not
been an unkind husband so far as
words or deeds went, but he believed
that any woman who had roof pro-

meals daily should be happy, An alb

claim to tenderness. The woman at
