Wom.n We'll Groomed.

Women of to-day are particularly
we'll groomed They see that their hair
Is kept In excellent condition and their
nails are beautifully manieured: they
indulge in facial massage and buy
creams and lotions galore to preserve
what good looks they have, but there
Is scarcely one who considers her eX-
preston sufficiently to keep her mouth
pretty 1t Is the mouth which tells
the tale of fretful and irritable dis
position. This is the feature which
acts as a glve-away when woman
wishes to appear what she is not. Just
notice the mouths Of women whom you
pass ON the street or In a car. Hard
~ one is sweet and pleasant and smil-
ing. If the woman is by herself and
not talking. There Is scarcely one
who does not have dropping corners
or a pouting expression that is I'M
lovely or that does not show irritable
lines to prove that is owner is not
quite happy. A small fortune may be
spent in cosmetics and messages, but
il my ladyen does not watch her
mouth and keep it sweet her money is
wasted, for she cannot be pretty or
considered good looking. Then, again.
a perpetually smiling woman Is an Of
Tense against taste. Richard Harding
Davis wrote something about what a
tiresome creature she was, but a hap
py-looldng. well-groomed woman, with
sweet, expressive mouth, is the love
liest thing in the world, and there are
mighty few of them.--Chieago News.

Behavior is a mirror In which every
one displays his own image.
Originality blazes new track while
eccentricity runs on one wheel in an
old rut.
1t Is better to suffer wrong than do

than not to trust.
Some men stand on principle and
some others probably would II they
had II to stand on.
When you step up on one promise
you will always find a higher and a
better one before you.
A laugh to be joyous must flow from
Joyous heart, for without kindness
there can be no true joy
The art of saying appropriate words
In kindly way is one that never goes
out of fashion, never ceases to please,
and is within the reach of the hum
blest.
The domestic man who loves no
music so well as his kitchen clock and
the airs which the logs sing to him
as they burn on the hearth. has solaces
which others never dream of.
God Is in our souls, as our souls are
In our bodies. He never ceases to
speak to us; but the voice of the world
without and the tumult of our passions
within bewilder US, and prevent us
from listening to him.
My heart is fixed firm and stable in
the belief that ultimately the sunshine
and summer, the flowers and the azure
sky, shall become. as 1t were. inter-
woven into mans existence. He shall
take from all their beauty and enjoy
their glory.

PUTTING PINS IN PAPERS.
Two Little Girls and Machine Pack
Thousands in a Day.

According to the Merriam census,
there We're used in these United States
during the year 1900 no less than l..
100000 pins. This count excludes hair
pins, safety pins and others, which,
for various reasons, bear the common
family name. and confines itself mere
ly to the familiar and necessary ad-
junct of the every day toilet The
first pins made in this country were
very crude indeed merely Bit of
wire twisted into knot for a head
at one end and sharpened to a point
at the other. Their successors of to-
day undergo Il surprising variety Of
operations before they are considered
fit for use,
In comparison with the size Of tho
object manufactured the operations
seem bewllderlngly numerous, but II
there be one process more remarkable
than another it is 'papering the pins. !"
The papers having been passed
through an ingenious machine, which,
at regular intervals, according to the
size of the pin, plnches up fold and
pricks hole In 1t. are ready TO re-
eeiye the pins.
For this purpose there is another
machine, worked By two children. One
feeds the pins. the other the papers.
The first part OF the machine is
box about twelve inches long, six
broad and four deep. The bottom is
composed of small square steel bars,
sufficiently far apart to let the shank
of the pin fall through, but not the
head. These bars are just as thick
as the space between the papered pins.
The lower part of the bottom of the
box is made TO detach itself as soon
as the row of pins is complete. Row
after row, at regular intervals, is re-
ceived and passed down corresponds
ing set of grooves, until it reaches
the ready pricked paper. BY the incest
possible adjustment these pins come
exactly to their places and are press
ed into them. BY this method two
little girls can In one day put up many
thousands of papers.

Startling Act of Heroism.
EScEE AiNeLY HANDY

A 10-year-old boy at Arvada, Colo
RADIO, recently displayed an act OF hero
Ism and devotion TO his brother that
entities him to almost any honor that
may be paid him.
Two little sons of Rev. J. Z. RAIDER,
aged 10 and 3, were walking up the
track of the electric road and were
crossing cattle guard when the little
fellow caught a foot between the bars.
Everyone knows how the cars speed
over the Arvada line. like a railroad
express at times. Soon the boys heard
car coming Mt the rate of perhaps
90 miles an hour.
The foot was wedged In so fast that
their combined strength was not
enough to release It. although they
tugged and strained. Then the eldest
boy, whose name is Cranston, started
down the track towards the car and
began to wave his hands and shout.
Motormen became very much aecus-
toned TO little boys doing that sort Of
thing and then jumping aside before
the car strikes them, so they do not
pay much attention to them. This lit
tie boy did not intend to leave the
track, although the motoneer blew the
air whistle and shouted to him. The
motoneer finally realized in time that
something was wrong and got the cars
stopped within few inches Of the boy.
The little Cranston declares that he
would have Get himself be run down
before he would have let the car pass
him and strike his younger brother,
Miles.
The motoneer went to the assistance
Of the younger brother and had to re-
move the shoe before the foot could
be released
