SHARPENING A PENCIL.
In This Act, 1t Is said, You May Read
a Mans Character.

In This Act, Ii Is said, You May Read
a Mans Character.
No woman should marry a man till
she has seen him sharpen a lead pen
ell. She can tell by the way he does
it whether he is suited to her or not,
Here are a few infaliible rules for her
guidance in the matter:
The man who holds the point toward
him and close up against his shirt
front is slow and likes to have secrets.
He is the kind of man who when the
dearest girl in the world finds out that
there are Others and asks him who
they are and what he means by call
ing on them will assume an air of ex-
cessive dignity.
The man who holds the pencil out
at arms length and whites away at
It, hit or miss, is impulsive, jolly, good
natured and generous.
He who leaves a blunt point is dull
and plodding and will never amount
to much. He is really good hearted,
but finds his chief pleasure in the
commonplace things of life.
He who sharpens his pencil an inch
or more from the point is high strung
and imaginative and subject to ex-
uberant flights of fancy. He will al
ways be seeking to mount upward and
accomplish things in the higher re-
gions of business and art, and his
wife's greatest trouble will be to hold
him down TO earth aud prevent his
flying off altogether on a tangent.
The man who sharpens his pencil all
around smoothly and evenly, as though
1t were planned of in an automatic
sharpener, is systematic and slow tc
anger, but he is so undertaking from @
fixed principle that he would drive q
woman with a sensitive temperament
/ to distraction in less than six months
/ On the contrary. he who jumps IL
/ and leaves the sharpened wood as jar
ged as saw teeth around the top has
a nasty temper and viii spank the
baby on the slightest provocation
4 There are certain women who car
manage that kind of man beautifully
however, and If he gets a wife with
\ calm, persuasive eye he will come
down from his high horse In few
minutes and be as meek as lamb.
The man who doesn't stop to polisl
the point of lead once the wood is Gu
away has streak Of coarseness In hi
nature.
He who shaves of the lead till tn
point is like needle Is refined, dell
cate and sensitive. He viii not b
