THE S~TEREOTYPED SMILE.
Man Wearing a Castiron Smirk a Con-
spicuous Feature Of Philadel-
phia Suburb.

Many daily travellers on a morning
and evening train to and from one OF
Philadelphia's suburbs have noticed
for a number of years a man, now past
middle age, who wears a perpetual
smirk. This mar no doubt thinks he
is smiling and looking pleasant, but
the smile is SO purely mechanical-a
mere contraction of the muscles, eked
out with an oleaginous leer-that the
fixed, set smile is wholly unpleasant
and repellent. He is known as the
man with the s]tereotyped grin, says
the Philadelphia Ledger.
1t so happens that the ma with tile
castiron smirk has written several es-
says IN the duty Of being cheerful and
of irradiating pleasantness in daily
life. He is a s%ociologist and reformer,
and has in mind several beneicient
schemes for the right ordering of tn
universe; but his wife cannot live
with him; his brothers have quarrel
ed with him and his sister and his
daughter-in-law do not speak to him.
He started in life with a good idea
drill your thoughts, shut out the
gloomy and call in the bright"-but he
failed to put it into practice, because
his smile and his pleasantness are
merely on the surface, while his heart
action is defective.
Almost everyone must have noticed
among his acquaintance a certain
number who, in their casual greetings
on the street, use the mechanical
smile. The muscles of the lower face
are contracted with evident effort. TIL
sudden relaxation of the muscles dis
closes a blank face, which, by reason
of the quick transition, leaves a most
unwholesome, forbidding impression
just the opposite Of the intention Of
the specifically polite contortionist.
A sensitive man with genuine feeling
would much rather be sworn at than
greeted with that kind Of a smile.

PREVENTION OF CRUELTY.

and so when he is taught anything
new it jars MIN. Any man with horse
sense would know that it takes years
to learn how to rope steers, and keep
from being tipped off the horse, and
ruiz over by a procession of cows, but
because pa had lassoed h.tching posts
in his youth, with a clothes line, with
a slip moose in it, he posed among
cowboys as being an expert roper, and
where did he land? In the cactus.
He was just meat for the natives
to have fun with, and he has sure
been hashed up on this trip. But the
worst of all was this trip to the buff
falo ranch, to secure buffaloes for the
show, and if i was in pas place
would go into retirement, and never
look a man in the face. Pas idea
was that these buffaloes IN the ranch
were Just as wild as they used to be
when they run at large on the plains.
When we got to the ranch at evening,
pa put in the whole time until it was

man and his hired man what great
things he had done killing wild ami

said the ranchman, winking at the
hired man. How did you keep from
being gored?"

NAL to get the best Of me" said pa,
looking wise. You see, when the bull
came over the hill | gave him a cou'
pie of shots, one in the eye and an
other in the chest, but he came on,
with his other eye flashing fire, and
the hair on his head and on his hump
sticking up like a porcupine, and the
whole herd followed, believing and
fairly shaking the earth, but | kept my
nerve. | shot the bull full Of lead,
and he tottered along towards me,
bound TO have revenge, but just a. he

in the one eye, like this" and pa cer-
tainly did look fierce, "and he threw
up his head, with me hanging to his
hair, and when ! came down ! kicked
him in the ribs and he gave a grunt
and a mournful below, as though he
was all in, and vas afraid of me, and
went off over the hill, followed by the
herd, scared to death at a man that
was not afraid to stand his ground
| against the fercest animal that ever
trod the ground. Now, come on and
help me find the carcass" Pa looked
as though he meant it.
well, you are a wonder" said the
ranchman, looking at pa in admira-
ton. Il have seen men before that
could lie some, but you have got An
nanias beaten a block. Now we will
go to the house and settle this thing,
and | will send my trusty henchmen

Then we went to the house and got
dinner, and the men drove up the buff
falo into the barnyard and fed them
hay, and we went out and played
with the buffaloes, and pa found his
bull hadn't a scratch on him, and that
he would lean up against pa and rub
against him just like he was a fence

The ranchman told pa they had been
stringing him, and that the animals
were so tame you could feed them out

shooting blank cartridges, and the
only thing he regretted was that pa
would lie so before strangers. Then
pa bought the herd for the show, and

measure Of salt, but fell down and
spilled the salt on the grass, and be-
fore he could get up the bull was so
near that he dassent run, so he laid
down and played dead, and the buffa-
loes surrounded him and licked up the
salt, and paid no more attention to
him than they would to a log until
they had licked up all the salt. Then
the bull began to lick pas hands and
face, and pa yelled for help, but we
got behind the ridge and went around
towards the ranch, the ranchman tell
ing us that the animals were perfectly
harmless and that as soon as they had
licked pas face a little they would go
off to a water hole to drink, and then
go out and Craze.
We left pa yelling for help, and |
guess he raj praying some, cause
once he got on his knees, but a couple
of pet buffalo calves, that one of the
rancher's boys drives to a cart, went
up to pa and began to lick his bald
head, and chew his hair.
Well, we got around to the ranch
house, where we could see the herd,
and see pa trying to push the calves
away from being so familiar, and then
the herd all left pa and went back
over the ridge, and pa was alone with
his empty revolvers and the peck
measure. Pa seemed to be stunned at
first, and then we all started out to
rescue him, and he saw us coming,
and he came to meet us.
Pa was a sight. His hair was all
mussed up, and his face was red and
sore from contact with the rough buff
aloes' tongues, and the salt on their
tongues made it smart, and his coat
sleeves and trousers legs had been
chewed of by the buffaloes, and he
looked as though he had been through
a corn shredder, and yet he was still
brave and noble, and as we got near
to him he said:

suit into the wagon, hurried toward

from town, he stood up in the wagon
and peeled" and threw the despiscd
old suit into the creek. Then he
