Signs That Tell the Girl

Much of q girls nature is betrayed
by the little act of brushing a speck
off a mans coat If she picks off the
thread, or imaginary bit of lint very
carefully between the thumb and fore
finger, it is an indisputable sign that
she is woman of very practical and
executive charactcr.
On the other hand, if a girl should
brush the coat lapel of her tiance very
softly and tenderly with the second
and third finger of her hand in her en-
deavOr to remove an invisible speck,
it is a sure sign that she is more senti-
mental than practical. Tie man who
marries her will live in a continual at
mosphere of romance and bad house
keeping.
There is still another type of girl,
who will brush the speck off mans
coat with a broad sweep of the hand,
in which all the fingers and thumb play
a part. She is in all probability an
athletic girl, who excels at tennis, golf
and the links, and who will prove a
high-spirited, strong-minded woman
after marriage.
Then again, the girl who puts q flow
er in a mans coat with her hand held
jauntily uptu"ned from the wrist, and
the flower held in The tips of her fin
gers, is sure to be something of a CO.
quette, while the maid who gives you
only the tips of her fingers when she
greets you in the drawing room or pub
lie street is probably an ambitious girl.

Took His Word For IL.

When Walter B. Stevens, Secretary
of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
speaks ex cathedra he is usually to be
taken literally. He rarely jokes or in
dulges in any verbal pleasantly when
ION duty
In an after dinner speech or public
address, ccweyer, he has a fund of
quiet humor which he draws upon. Re-
Gently he was down for an address of
welcome before the Congress of Deaf
and Dumb, held at the Worlds Fair.
Usually punctual, he was a few mo-
ments late, and by way Of preface to
his address, he apologiZed for his tardi-
ness, giving humorous explanation
which was interpreted to his audience
in the sign language by an instructor
who stood on the platform.

Stevens, Il was stopped by a Jeffer-

CRUEL POVERTY
AROUSES HIS PITY
Robert Hunter Declares That Our Poor
VIII Soon Be Worse OFF Than
Are the Poor of Europe.
X X X X X

hand, what do the workers think of
the prevailing conditions"
"And what has brought about this
condition of affairs?"
"Unquestionably the economic organ
ization of society at present is respon-
sible for most of its stress"
"Do you mean the trusts?
81 am not specifying, and l am not
prepared offhand to discuss the rela-
tons of the trusts to the present eco
nomic conditions. / don't think, how
ever, that the conditions are due to
drink or any other ordinary cause The
causes are not personal, but social.
EVILS OF RECENT GROWTH
Seventy live years ago we had prac-
tically no poverty at all in this coun-
try, and there is no reason why our
condition to-day should be what it is.
We are not individually any worse
off. Economically, however, we are
much worse off.
"Unquestionably there should be
much higher wages paid to the work
ers, but that is only one OF the reforms
needed.
Fortunately, it is in the power of
the people to help themselves. l am
not in favor of aims giving. That does
no permanent good. And there is an
other growing impression that ought
to be corrected. 1t is that the rich are
always good and the roor always bad.
There is no question that this is false.
If you will take 1000 rich men and 1000
poor, you will find that they average
up about even"
Mr.. Hunter then took up his book
on Poverty" which has just been
published by the Macmilans, and
quoted the prediction of Charles Fou-
rier, made 100 years ago, that "vast
joint stock companies, destined to mo-
nopolize and control all branches Of
industry, commerce and Cnance, would
establish an industrial or commercial
feudallsm that would control society
by the power of capital, as did the old
baronial or military teuddlism by the
power Of the sword"
''If we are going to have an econom-
ical feudalism in this country" con-
cluded Mr.. Hunter, 'as strong as the
old baronial feudalism, it will be be-
cause the people do not prevent it.
They possess the power and the votes"

WISE WORDS.
aborigines

Feelings go long way toward max
ing facts.
Learn how to listen and you will
profit even from those who talk bad
ly.-Plutarch.
Gods justice, tardy though it prove
perchance, rests never ON the track
until it reach delinquency.
He that overcometh shall inherit all
things, and l will be his God. and he
shall be My son.-Rev. xxi, Z.
He who waits for God is not mis-
spending his time. Such waiting is
true living-such tarrying is the truest
peed.-Joseph Parker.
We boast our light, but if we look
not wisely on the sun itself, it smites
us into darkness. The light which we
have gained was given us, not to be
ever staring on, but by it to discover
onward things, now remote from all
knowledge. -Milton.

A Secret of Authorship

If you will take out the magazines
that came last month, or perhaps the
month before-it wouldn't do for me
to specify too closely-you will find in
one of them an article signed by q
certain great statesman whom every
body in Washington knows. The edi-
tor of that magazine wrote to the
great man, asking him to contribute.
The great man knew nothing what
ever about the subject suggested. He
isn't nearly so wise as he is famous,
anyway, and he asked a newspaper
man he knew to write it for him. The
newspaper man was busy, but he
spoke to member of his family, fe-
male member, and she-well, she just
exactly sat down and wrote an article
that has already been quoted far and
vide. The great man received the
credit, but L fancy the woman received
something more substantial. Anyway,
she is wearing a new fur collarette
that fairly makes ones mouth water
