A CLARINC ERROR

Here II Z remarkable instance Of how
q blunder-one Of the most obvious and
glaring blunders possible-may escape
the notice Of a whole army Of proof
readers and editors:
A. B. wrote q certain paper for a pop
ular journal. This paper went through
certain successive stages during the
process of production. At each stage
1t received a new reading from begin
ming to end. Thus:
1. 1t was written In MS. Then IL was

completed. and sent to be typewriter.
8. The typewriter read it through be-
fore sending it back.
4. The author corrected the typewrit-
ten MS. carefully and sent it in again.
8. 1t was then set up in type.
6. The author received a proof. which
he read and corrected. sending it back
for press.
Z. The editor or the sub-editor read
1t finally and passed 1t for the maya
zine.
The paper thus had at least seven
readings. Yet a blunder was passed.

if he did not make it-of a most ele-
mentary description; one that leaps to
the eyes, one that stands out of the
page calling on everybody to spot it,
correct it, put an end to it.
The blunder was simply this. A GER
tain strike of workingmen was spoken
of as undertaken for "lower'' wages
instead of higher" How the word
lower" got there-whether the author
wrote it in the first instance. or the
typewriter, or the compassionate is i'm
possible to say. Probably it was an au-
thor's mistake. A long succession of
readings of the passage followed. Not
one of the readers discovered the mis-
take.-Tit- Bits.

:HOW TOCHOOSEs
:: A WIFE. :.
BY DOROTHY FENIMORE.

-" HE man who would a-wooinx
go had better think over what
dorado Taft, Chicago's cele-
brated sculptor, has just init
mated, that the expression OF a
woman's lips, even when she keeps
them discreetly closed. tells to observ-
ers the story Of her character and dis
position. Beautiful eyes," says he.
"a woman may have by way OF inher-
itance. but the mouth she makes her
self"
In declaring that the mouth il the
most delicate register OF human emo
ton and of character Mr.. Taft agrees
with Paolo Mantegazza- the Fiorentine
professor. who Is the greatest living
authority on love. "The SOUL. declares
the latter, ''dwells In the expression or
the mouth. Here converge, as their
natural center, the yearnings OF love
and of desire AS the eye expresses
thought, so the mouth reveals feeling.
Compare, suggests this expert, the
emotion which Is awakened in you by
pair of beautiful eyes with that which
a beautiful mouth inspires. The nrst
may strike you dumb with admiration,
but at sight of the second you fall
dead in love. The eye Is the azure heav-
ems, the mouth Is the earth with its
perfumes.
The mouth interprets both mind and
heart, he says. In its silence even 1t Is
eloquent. Its upper lip carries mes
sage. It's lower lip has a story to tell
It's delicate curves In repose speak as
effectively as do its rounded curves In
laughter.
And now for specific instructions:
The best way to study a woman's
mouth, it seems, Is to get Ia view of II
in profile in dim light, Yhere slight
shadow will be thrown Upon the upper
lip. The mouth whose upper lip pro-
jects over the lower one shows good
heart and a tendency toward sentiment.
The loyal girl has lips which advance
equally. When the lower lip projects
beyond the upper one its owner has an
irritabl disposition.
There you are; now go ahead, you
who had your salary raised at New
Years, and think that you can afford
the luxury of a wife. Whatever other
attractions a maiden fair may have
soulful eyes, soft hair, bewitching girl
ishness-disregard all these inviting
charms, and as you walk beside her in
the moonlight on some warmer night
than this concentrate your attention
upon the expression of her mouth.
And you, pretty girl, who likes to be
liked. who desires to be beautiful, you
had better keep in mind that your lips
are telltale, indeed, that they give you

POOLING THE PEOPLE-W.. City.
A very close search Of all the works
OF reference, of quotations. savings OF
great men, OF the sayings OF Abraham
Lincoln, OF the biographies and books
that have been written Of Lincoln and
the biographies and sayings OF Horace
Greeley, fail to disclose the author Of
the oft-quoted phrase. You can fool
some Of the people all the time: YOU
can fool all the people some of the time.
but you cannot fool all OF the people
all of the time" which has so often
been attributed to Lincoln. IL Is prob
able that 1t was used by some speaker
during a political can ign. but IL IT
had been used by liz oln. 1t being
such a striking sentence, 1t certainly
would have been Incorporated in his
sayings" Whoever used 1t evidently
got his idea from the following written
by John Stirling, to be found In his
Essays and Tales. There Is no lie

is no man who does not believe nanv
lies. and there Is no man who believes

The figure has always played an
important part in history. 1t may be
interesting for boys and girls to read
a few of the traditions in which it fig
ures. 1t is said in ancient history that
on the 7th day of the 7th month there
was a holy observance ordered to the
children of Israel. They feasted
days and stayed days in their tents
The 7th year was year of rest Al
the end of Z times years began a
year of jubilee. Every 7th year the
land lay fallow. Every Z years there
was grand release from debt and
