He was respectable looking man,
and, judging from his appearance, he
was a butcher by trade, and this be-
lief was verified a few minutes later.
He carried white apron under his
arm, and as he entered a car huge
cleayer dropped from the bundle to the
floor. A youth who had not reached
the age Of discretion sank out merrily,
Say, mister, you dropped your pocket
knife" The passengers laughed, but
they could not help but think that the
youth took long chance on kidding a
man with cleaver.-Albany Journal.

WILD GIRL HAUNTS FOREST
Is Captured by Town Marshall
Beauty Wears Complete
Male Attire.

Sandusky, O.-Pretty Stella Wood
who attempted to commit suicide three
times during the past four months, was
brought to this city by Marshal Op-
perman. of Huron township. on an in
sanity charge preferred against her by
her father. Michael Wood.
When caught she was completely
clothed in male attire, including blue
trousers, black shirt. overalls, jump
ers, a vest and black cap. The mar
shall did not wish to bring her in such
an outfit. so the ladies of Huron were
appealed to and they furnished a suit
able outfit.
The girl comes from a good family
in Huron. and her action has been a
mystery to the villagers. For over
three weeks she has been fitting
through the woods and along the HUI
ron beach attired in mems clothing.
Her father first tried to catch her
but every time she saw him coming
she ran like deer and disappeared in
the woods. At last the aid of the viii
lage authorities was asked and Mar
shall Opperman caught her along tho
beach.
She had been afraid to approach near
the camps for fear of being caught but
the campers set out food at night and
in the morning it had disappeared. she
having come after it in the dead ri
night.

THE RIGHT ATTITUDE.
Word Of Warning About Being Con-
scious of Ones Dress and About
Bad Habits Of Posture.

To 40 women who have "pose,
there is just one who has ''poise." TO
40 women who walk with locomotor
ataxia jerk of the hips and snobbish
tilt of the nose there is just one who
glides along as if walking were per-
fectly natural and no trouble to her.
To 40 women who wear their clothes
as though they were photographers
models on parade there is just one
whose clothes seem a part of her.
If q woman could only purchase her
gowns and hats, put them on and then
forget them, she would be doubly
charming. The average woman carries
her frock about in her mind as we'll
as on her back every moment. If it
is pretty and well-ftting she plumes
herself, gives her walk an extra hitch
and her head a more unnatural tilt.
1t the frock doesn't suit her she is
miserably conscious of it; she keeps
Jerking at it here and pulling at it
there, forgetting that the one thing
which can make a bad frock worth
looking at is the good carriage and un-
conscious expression of the wearer.
OF course We cannot expect every
woman to have mental poise. We
aren't all born with it and very few
of us can cultivate it. The best some
of us can do is to simulate it by the
adoption of the tilted chin and the
naughty, Indifferent Gibson express
sion. Yet these things do not deceive
| anybody who is worth deceiving.
Physical poise every woman can at
tain. BY physical poise I mean the
ability to walk gracefully and uncon-
sclcasly, to glide up and down stairs,
to sink instead of to bounce into a
chaIr, to use her hands as though they
were part of her and not merely at
tachments at the ends of her arms.
The first thing to learn in the acqui-
sltion of poise is to stand squarely
upon the balls of your feet, not upon
the toes, nor the heels In high French
heele1 shoes this Is next to impossible
yet 1t is by no means necessary to
wear nat, common sense heels in or
der to accomplish it. If women could

Superhuous Mathematics

A story is told of certain famous
inventor who is fortunate enough to
be able to employ large staff of en-
gineers and mathematician to aid him
in the solution of knotty problems
Some time ago the inventor desired to
find the cubic capacity of certain YES
sci OF unsymmetrical proportions. and
asked his mathematicians to solve the
problem. AS the story goes. the
mathematicians spent weeks of time
filled their books with their calcu]a-
lions and finally presented what they
said was close approximation to the
true result. Thereupon the famous in
ventor placed the vessel on a plat
form scale, filled it to the brfm with
water, obtained it's weight when full
and when empty, and in a few minutes
he had result as good as the mathe-
maticians-for that particular vessel

roasted alive here the other night by
another boy named McLain, who dashed
a can of gasoline over the clothes of
young Christian and then applied a
lighted match.
Christian was playing on the street
with several other boys when McLain
walked up swinging a gasoline can.
After twice threatening to roast the
Christian boy alive he finally made his
word good. He unscrewed the cap of
the can, rushed upon Christian, and
drenched him from head to foot with
gasoline. Before the unfortunate lad
could get away he touched lighted
match to his trousers. which were
soaked with the gasoline.
Instantly the boy was enveloped in
flames. He fell to the ground screaming
in agony and fighting the fire. Many
persons ran to his rescue aud succeeded
in extinguishing the flames. Every
stitch of clothing was burned from
young Christians back. He will die

could exert at the cat. She struck the
animal sQuarely on the head, knock

She found an old two-pronged pitch
fork, both points of which had been
broken off, and returned She tried to
stab the cat to death with the fork,
but the blunted prongs were not sharp
enough to penetrate the tough hide.
The animal fought fiercely, but she
managed to pin it down by holding the
fork upon it's throat. She showed it
downhill toward an old gate nearly 200
feet away. Several times the claws of
the hind feet struck the young wom-

the gate she found a bar of iron. and
with that she beat the wildcat to death,
