Dtchie was a sentimentalist. He fell in and out of love as. naturally and harm lessiy as small boys fall in and out of a skating pond. Dickie's flights were err ratio as those of { badly teed golf ball. also, like the bah, he was continually smacking up against bunker. Once, for instance, just as he was starting for a dreamy stroll in the Park, his sister,. ar- irving from a tea, new booted and ago. nized, hustled him off to make an engage ment at Mime. Albert's. The foot of sis ter was by no means too large for her shoe; her shoe. she explained. was a trifle too small for her foot.
 ''Oh, we'll" unused Dickie, "a sentimen- talist like myself has no business in the Park, anyway. Heaven knows I'm bad enough elsewhere. I look in a greasy pawnshop and reflect that if I bought that old violin and traced it back it's owner might prove to be The One; take a prosaic. sweeping elevator and ina zine that She is waiting at the twenty-third story; change at Fiftieth Street for 2 Harlem train. and am suddenly seized with the conviction that She is standing , on the Fifty-ninth Street platform; lift up the receiver, and tremble to think I detect Her in the voice which says.

 Dtckie stepped into long room. car peted in moss green, upon one side of which stretched voluminous curtains of the same shade, hung on brass rods, through whose crevices could be seen glimpses of hairdressing. Opposite ran a row of white, thin legged tables, each scattered with glistening manicure iAstru- ments and surmounted by a green, glori- hed pincushion, upon one of which lay the hand of a gentleman who was trying to look as If he weren't married, while over his finger tips bent queenly crea- ture trying to look as if she didn't know otherwise.

AS he waited in the luxuriously couched anteroom there sounded through the par tition plaintive little drawl that caught him across the chest as agreeably as a deep inhalation from his favorite pipe.

A Hyxienic Hint,

Hygiene authorities strongly advise
the alternate day system for the wear
ing Of outer clothing. They urge the
danger of daily use for any article of
clothing. Outer clothing. it is also ad-
vised, should upon removal be hung in
current of fresh air and thoroughly
brushed. The practice of placing wool
en- garments, warm from the body and
filled with the dust of the street. in
closed closets is said to be most inju-
rious to health. For shoes. as we'll as
all other unwashable articles of appar-
ell. thorough airing every other day is
advised as being both economical and
healthful.

Stepping to the Curb.

"Did you ever notice." said the man
who prides himself on his powers Of
observation, that every one Uses the
same foot almost every time in step
ping up or down the curb ut street
crossing? Maybe you haven't, but it
is a fact just the same. 1t may be the
right foot that is used or it may be the
left, but it is the same one pretty much
all the time.
The movement is made so often that
it becomes a habit of the most tena-
cious kind BY one of those involun-
tary actions of the nervous system the
nerves Of the eye and the leg and foot
work in unison. The eye of a person
approaching Il crossing gauges the dis
tance to be traversed before the final
step is taken, and the stride is regulat.
in time to take it. The same thing hap
pens when the curb on the other side
of the street is reached.
Sometimes. especially when one is
walking rapidly or when the street is
crowded, it takes 4 deal of jockeying
to get the chosen foot into position. but
the rule Is seldom broken. You needn't
try to find the truth Of this principle by
keeping tab on your own steps. for in
SO doing your will power will come in
to play and you will use whichever
foot you please. Just watch some other
fellow. and you will find out that what
I am telling you is fact" ."-Philadel-

Parker. ", Cleveland.


Cleveland's second administration
was disastrous TO the prosperity of the
country: nevertheless, history will give
much credit to Cleveland because of
his obstinate defense Of the gold
standard against the assaults Of bis
own party in congreSs, and because Of
his Venezuelan message.
But while Cleveland was doing his
best to preserve the gold standard.
Parker was voting for free silver. And
When Cleveland wrote his Venezuela
message did he have the moral sup
port OF the candidate who In his recent
speech Of acceptance condemned as
extrayagant and unjustified the Re-
publican policy Of getting the nation
in readiness for war?
Had It not been for this very policy
40 pursued by preceding Republican
administrations, President Cleveland's
famous Venezuela message would have
been an empty :'bluR."

Nearly every American citizen who
will vote for president in the coming
election will also vote for represent:
alive in congress. It is to bes hoped
that no Republican will fail to vote for
the Republican candidate for congress
in his district. While the national
honor and the public welfare demand
the election of President Roosevelt.
and while the reasons for his election
are overwhelming and unanswerable.
those for the election Of Republican
house of representatives are equally
SO. With a Democratic house Mr..
Roosevelt would be almost helpless to
carry out the great Republican policies
to which he is committed. No Repub-
lican should be induced by any con-
sidera ton not to vote for the Repub-
lican candidate for congress in his dis
trict.
