BIOGRAPHIES
Of BIG MEN

On the 10Th OF May, 1893, the great
French novelist, Honore Balzac, was
born at Tours, France. His father was
a man of some attachments and much
originality; eccentric, IA builder OF air
castles and health faddist who livca
to the age of SO. Balzac's mother seems
TO have been nervous. excitable wo'
man, standing as dictator In the home
and most severe with her children. She
never quito understood her talented
son, who In turn felt no real tender
ness for his mother, and there seems
To have been much friction between
them after Honore reached mans es-
tate. And yet the natural links OF
blood bound them together, and In latel
life Madame Balzac came often to her
sons financial aid when he was hound
ed by debt or wished to raise monty
to further some of his wild schemes
for gaining wealth. We must app:a
ciate these loans on the part OF the
mother when we know that she was
obliged to deny herself the small com
forts OF life to meet her sons demands

As child Balzac concentrated hi
affections ON his sister. Laura, whoL

SMILES and Toodles were twins. They

iles and Toodles was getting bit too
old for dolls. for she had been sent
away to a private school the year be-

quite a young lady, although she was
but 10 years of age.
And so II was that the twins sighed
for change and excitement Often they
looked down from the nursery window
into "a pretty park that bordercd the
opposite side of the street and watched
with lonely hearts the children playing
there. So many little girls came TO the
park every day. bringing their dollies
with them for the air and recreation.

their lonely, uneventful life to some

A Horses Nose.

A man at the horse market recently
refused TO buy an apparently desirable
animal on the ground that 'he had
Roman nose"
"A horses nose tells whole lot
about his disposition" said the reader
OF equine character. IAN animal with
O prominent nose has courage and
stubbornness In equal proportion; con-
seduently he makes first class baker.
Noses Of the pancake variety indicate
meekness. A nose that Is wide be-
tween the eyes denotes trustworthl-
ness. A generally vicious temperament
accompanies the nose that narrows at
the top. Horses that run away, bite
their neighbors and kick the dash
board into flinders have that type OF
nose. A horse with broad, faring NOS
trils Is a high liver: also he Is lazy.
The thin, sensitive nostrlls belong to
racers and high class carriage horses.
Fire department horses usually have
the aristocratlc nasal lines. Deep hori-
zontal ridges In horses nose indicate
humility and even solemnity. Minis
ters horses and those driven by under
takers are frequently marked by that
popularity. or course, there are ex-
ceptions to those deductions, but tax
