Beauty and AniiabiIity.

Despite some opinions to the con.
trary. 1t is apparent TO observant eyes
that many girls who are possessed Of
n good share of physical charm do not
exhibit that amiability and klndliness
Of spirit which are qualities possessed
by the palmer girl.
There is n certain amount of pride,
yerging on haughtiness, which. in the
beauty, seems TO be an obstacle to affa-
billty. They rely on their good LOOKS
for their success with women as well
ms with men, and they do not take 1t
Into consideration that anything more
Is expected Of them than TO look pretty
and charm the eye. writes Mrs. NJ. l..
Bean, In American Queen. They are
also apt to assume an attitude OF con-
descenslon toward others-and all on
the strength of their superior looks.
The plain girl, knowing that she has
no personal beauty to depend upon for
popularity, cultivates an amiable and
affable nature, thus appealing TO others
In more real and permanent way.
Beauty Is truly but skin deep. but a
beautiful nature will. In the long run,
win more frlends-true. lasting friends
than all the flashing eyes and pearly
teeth In the world.
In justice to pretty girls. however, II
cannot be denied that there are some
as aminble as they are pretty, but this
Is not the rule. by any means. There
are others who are really amiable. but
who make no effort TO exhibit the fact
except on cer.ain occasions. These girls

he entire class does not number one

Typical Americans must be drawn in

PRESENTED TO PRESIDENT
Varied List of Articles Given
to Roosevelt

TACOMA, May 2s.-The things
given the president range all the way
nom elk's antlers to bowie knives,
from Navajo blankets to horsehair
brides. There are just sacks Of In
dian work-moccasins, belts, baskets
and pottery. Most Of the pottery was
given him down in New Mexico by
the Pueblos.
Down at Albuquerque they gave
the president a fine Navajo blanket
with the picture Of the plain but re-
spectacle squaw that made it. They
also loaded him up with a buckskin
suit that he wouldn't appear in for
a second term. and h~orsehair brides
that were made by two eonvicts in the
penitentiary. One of the back-slid-
ers from the straight and narrow hap
pened TO be a horse thief. and for this
reason-if for no other-the president
baked at receiving the brides.
At Albuquerque the president vas
threatened with the presentation Of a
performing bear, but escaped. He did
not elude the gentleman with a live
badger at Sharon, Springs, Kansas
however, for the cute little critter is
on board the train and will go back
to Washington With the president, If
ii is not killed with kindness IN the
meantime.
While recording the presents re-
ceived, the silver and gold plates, he
has been given should not be omit
ted. These are worth a good deal of
money and generally contain an in
scription giving him the Freedom of
the City" AS a usual thing, the
Freedom of the City" is a pretty
cheap present, but when it came on
a solid plate of gold. it is not to be
despised.
President Roosevelt will probably
hand over to the national museum a
good many of the presents he received
on this trip. 1t will be impossible for
him to find place for them al either
the White House or his home at
Oyster bay.
