WHY INDIANS PAINT.

Once an old Apache Indian, when
asked the question why the people
painted their faces, told this little leg
end:
''Long ago, when men were weak
aud animals were big and strong,
chief of the red men who lived in
these mountains went out to get a
deer, for his people were hungry.
"After walking all day he saw
deer aud shot at it, but the arrow was
turned aside and wounded mountain
lion, which was also after the deer.
When the lion felt the sting of the ar
row he jumped UP and bounded after
the man, who ran for his life.
"He was almost exhausted, and
when he felt his strength giving way
he fell to the ground, calling on the
big bear, who, you know, is the
grandfather of men, to save him.
"The big bear heard the call and
saw that to save the man he had to
act quickly, so he scratched his foot
and sprinkled his blood over the
man.
'sNow, you know that no animal
will eat of the bear or taste OF his
blood. So when the lion approached
the man he smelled of the blood and
turned away, but as he did so his
foot scraped the face of the man,
leaving the marks of his claws on the
blood smeared face.
'sWhen the man found that he was
uniniured he was so thankful that he
left the blood to dry on his face and
never washed it at all, but left it until
it peeled off.
''Where the claws of the lion scrap
ed it off there were marks that turned
brown in the sun, and where the
blood stayed omit was lighter. Now
ali men paint their faces that way
with blood and scrape it off in streaks
when they hunt or go to wal"

GETTING ON IN THE WORLD.

This is not beauty article. But
the language of the beauty article is
none too strong to apply to the army
of the unemployed when it says that
it is both positive and a paramount
duty to look well. So strong is the
value put now on personal appearance
that it is true more than ever that only
the rich can afford to disregard the
way they look.
This does not mean mere phyS
attractiveness in either man or woman
"Send me a good locker" was the
telephone message which came to a
large agency for a bookkeeper and
general Office woman. II don't
mean pretty, you know, but one that
knows how to dress-the tailor made
kind who visit the hairdresser and tEeI
manicure. OF course, I know it costs
but we are willing to pay for it. .
So great stress does one of tn
large stores lay upon the details 9
toilet that it. prints little booklet
which it distributes to all employees,
that has useful hints as to the care Of
hair and nails, the wearing of tasteful
and fitting dress, and with many lit
tie hints as to the proper day costume
of both men and women.
It is not only inside stores and of
fees, or with the better grade of ems
ployers now, however, that careful
dress is insisted upon. A large cas-
tern house has recently put its boys
who carry parcels from the wagon to
the door in complete and stylish uni
form, matching that of the drivers
upon the wagon, and which is kept
in as neat and even more perfect con-
dition.

Love so enduring and ardent as fits
it to be the homes cornerstone must
be the result of something more than
a hasty fancy, and, by the way, this
mornings paper tells me of a couple
who met at a seashore resort yester-
day-fell in love at first sight and
were married after an hours acquaint-
ancel No doubt the same newspa-
per will have something less sensa-
tional to report of the same persons
in a decade of days or months Love
should be built of sincere respect, and
this should arise from thorough ac-
quaintance. This respecting love does
not claim the perfection of its object
because those worthiest Of your heart
and most admiring affection may have
many faults, but they are what may
be called superficial faults; they are
not the crimes of falsehood, mean
ness, cruelty, self-serving or unfaitb.
To have proper groundwork for
love in a thorough acquaintance,
young people should not rush into
engagements after short intimacy,
else in little while longer they may
discern that there is no congeniality
between them. Neither do I believe
in engagements formed between the
Young. Because conditions become
awry, the engagement often tram
mels them. and can produce only
misery. My dear girls, the home
question, and those who make it what
it should be, is, as you know, a great
hobby of mine, but I don't want to
weary you by riding my hobby too
long. Next week, maybe, I'll tell
the boys few things expected of
them when they are making ready to
drive in double harness. Two fair
samples of humanity make much hap
piness abound when they direct their
powers Alright. Honest hearts, capa-
bic of loving, with courage to do
their duty day by day, with strong
resolves, can live down disasters and
repair many mistakes. In this world
we walk according to our lights.
Does the light burn low because we
were started in life with very little
oil in the lamp! Or because we have
not been taught to tend and trim it
properly? Girls, consider and reflect
and act wisely and well, and you'll
always have my esteem.

COMMON sense is the knack of see
ing all things as they are, and doing

HERE is the bitter cry of a poor
young man on the subject of wedding
gifts. IT am asked to endless we'd
dings," lie said, solely tor what the
happy but grasping pair can get out
of me
IT have seen the blue eyes of a
rather nice girl gleam like the eyes
of a bird of prey when she said that
people were SO stingy now with we'd
ding presents, and that if anybody
dared to send her the brass inkstand
which had cost a guinea she would
pack it back. She knew had given
brass inkstands to three of her dearest
friends
MRS. JoHNsoN-"I wish I could
think of something to keep my hus-
band at home nights"
Mrs. Smithson-"Give him an ati-
tomobile. -
Mrs. Johnson-"He'd be out more
than ever then"
Mrs. Smithson-"No, indeed. My
husband got one last week, and the
doctor says he won't be out for six
weeks"
THE Rest He Needed-"Mrs. Nag
get," said the doctor, your husband
needs rest. He must go to Europe
for three months" ooh, splendid !"
she exclaimed, "I'll be delighted to
go there" every good. You can
go for three months after he comes
back. That will give him six months
rest"

landed in this country with bare feet
and now he's got millions. Gee
whiz he must be regular cent?

Are YOU tired Of Aunt los ramb-

so, shall I put a stop toit? Some one
once said, but not to me, declare
''that putting a stop to a woman's
tongue is said to be a difficult ptinc-
tuation." Wonder who it was ?
I'll wager it was some misanthropic
creature who remand behind the
door out of sight of all women. He
had not had the fostering benefit of
well-laid foundation of trained pa
renthood.
Do you need cure for headache,
which is often the accompaniment Of
the spring weather? Here is good
one, said to be quite eficacious, and
simple and easy. Walk backwards !!
No one knows just why it helps, un-
less the reflex action of the body
brings about reflex action of the
brain. At any rate. ten minutes
might as well be given to this exer-
else as ten minutes wasted in groaning
with pain.
Girls, if any of you are going abroad
don't forget to include among your
traps one of the little scrap books,
decorated with "My Trip Abroad. ;"
One of the most enjoyable mementos
of a foreign trip is scrap book, fill
ed with reminders of the journey.
One girl 1 know, who has travelled
pretty nearly all over the world, has
several, and finds them very inter-
esting. They include the voyages
and return, menus OF importance,
cards of noted persons she has met,
photographs of places of interest,
passports and knick-knacks of any
sort which might have value ina rem
iniscent way. College girls keep
"Book of Stunts" on the same order
and in after years the looking over of
these help to keep alive the days of
"Auld Lang Syne."
Can it really be true that we like
to be humbugged by the mean sharp
ers who are ever on the alert for
victims? Hundreds of people are
said to have been duped by a man
tout West" who, it is alleged, in
answer to advertisements offering to
tell how ''to get fat for five dollars" )"
after the reception of the money,
wrote to his inquirers to Ito get it at
the Butchers" He is now under
arrest on the charge of using the
mails to defraud. Every day brought
him piles of banknotes from his cor
responents. Anothers scamp adj
vertised to tell chow towrite without
ink" for twenty-five cents, in cash
or stamps. He also did rushing
business for time, and the answer
he sent to his victims was use lead
pencil" It is hard to conceive of the
smallness of the mind that can hatch
out such schemes as these and similar
ones.
Speaking of fat and lean, very
sensible woman, who speaks by the
card, advises to use cream, whenever
you can, instead of oil prescribed by
the physicians so much nowadays.
It's lot pleasanter, and every bit as
good for the purpose. Take a
glass of cold, creamy milk for refresh
ment, and sip cup of hot milk for a
stimulant. Used externally, it is good
for a massage, whitening and soften
ing the skin, preventing wrinkles, and
soothing tired nerves. There are a
hundred ways in which you can revel
in cream and save doctors bills

Wrong When He Lost.

From the best information OBJ
tainable it appears that Mr.. Thomas |
c. Duncan, late president of the
Union and Buffalo cotton mills, had
the entire endorsement of his di-
rcctors for his speculation in cotton,
so long as he made. money for the
mills.
When he lost they saw it in a
different light and had qualms of
conscience as to the morality of the
thing.
Speculation in these circumstances
appears to be reprehensiblc, almost
without excuse, although the temp
tation is always cnticing and often
becomes irresistible. There also
appears to be scant room to blame
Mr.. Duncan for anything but tai
Judgment in the case of the Union
and Buffalo cotton mills.
He has been bcncfactor to Union
and has gotten together handsome
properties. 1t is pity he could
not have taken better care of them
and of himself. = Carolina Fielr.
There is great deal Of philoso-
ply in what the Anderson Mail
says: 1t might have been differ
ent if Mr.. II. &. Duncan had been
on the other side of the cotton
market" In that case would the
profits made by his successful cot
ton speculations have been placed
to the credit of the concern without
protest? Were profits ever made
and used in this way?-Ncws and
Courier.
Why do you ask such questions?
Are you joking? Did you ever hear
of any kick against the player when
the player of the game played on
the right side? Ncwberry Herald

not cancelled the last cotton con-
tracts, today the Union and Buffalo
mills would have a million dollars
