naturally his successor was selected
because of his opposition to such pol
icy. And that is for what Walter
Long, the new secretary, essentially
stands. lie is one of Ireland's alb
sentee landlords and is resolutely op-
posed to all concessions to Irish feel
ings. He is Il man of mediocre abil-
ity. without one atom of distinction of
any kind. For Il score of years lie has
sat i'll parliament, but never did any
thing to raise his name from the dead
level of commonplace party hack.
AS an absentee landlord, he stands fos
a system which has been the bane of
Ireland; and as an opponent to all
concessions to Ireland he has already
invited the hostility of the Irish peo-
pie. Instead of being strength ne
is weakness to the Balfour ministry,
which is rapidly lettering to its fall.

MEANING OF THE CHIN.
Experts in Character Reading Find 1t
Sure Indication of Affections.


The chin has always been consid-
cred to be means of judging the
possessor's character, and it is sur.
prising to witness the faith many
people have in that special portion
of the face. Many man has been
trusted because he had firm chin,
the observer not realizing that the
difference between firmness and OBJ
stinacy or brute force is sometimes
hard to distinguish.
But it seems that the chin is also
10 be considered in affairs Of the
heart, and this reveals interesting
possibilities to the student in physiog-
nomy. The pointed, narrow chin
points to an unsatisfied longing for
an ideal, and is, therefore, unfortu-
nate in love, as it's ideas are seldom
found. On the other hand, square,
narrow chin shows a loving nature,
and its owner will marry the man
she loves, be he rich or poor, above
or below her in the social scale. 1t
is dangerous for such a nature to be
unfortunate in love, as it will seri-
ously affect her nature, and she is
sometimes of jealous disposition.
A broad, round chin betrays an ar
dent. loving, faithful disposition-one
that may be trusted as capable of an
ardent, steadfast affection for its OBJ
ject.
The indented chin, which is often
wrongfully confounded with a dimpled
chin, shows an enormous longing for
affection and miserable existence if
such love is denied to its possessor.
So, after all, 1t may be the chin
that is responsible for many cases
of mutual attraction, which seems
incomprehensible to the mere observ-
er of the Observation-Disclosures
Ledger.

FUNNY STOCK.
Some of the Freaks on Pennsylvania
Wild Animal Farm,


Wild Animal Farm.
Come good crops or bad, the wild
animal farm does thriving business.
Its cosmopolitan population, gathered
from Asia, Africa. India, from every
cline, do not take kindly to farm
work. The camels refuse to pillow; no
amount of urging will induce tn
zebras to do the work of horses; nor
will the yaks or the sacred COWS do
the work of ordinary oxen. Actually
the farm is a great animal boarding
house. with "boarders" from all over
the world. The farm, which com.
prises some 300 acres, is located near
Allentown, Pennsylvania. Its popula.
tion last year numbered more than
800 head of different kinds of stock
and comprised a large and fairly com.
plete menagerie.
During the summer months the en-
tire population of the wlld-animal
farm travel about the country in the
vans of the Greatest Show on Earth"
Early each fall the animals return to
their quiet Pennsylvania farm to en-.

these same animals will remain per

a quiet country lane affects them very

camel can, shy at the most innocent
bush of tree, crash through high
fences or hurdle them. and go flying
over the surrounding farms to the con-
