Personal Power.

That a straight body has much to
90 with worldly success is the Opin-
ion of writer in the Outing Magazine,
who says: II shall try, in the briefest
manner possible to make clear two
things of which am firmly convinced.
First, that there are possibilities OF
physical development far beyond the
present achievements; and secondly,
that there are certain very simple
methods by which these possibilities
may in every case be attained. The
first object of physical methods should
be to strengthen and expand the body.
The world may, in a broad. general
way, be divided into two great classes
the erect and the inerect. the strong
and the weak. The epoch makers. the
Cromwells, Luthers. Napoleons, Well
ingtons. Washingtons and Websters
have been men marked by a
straight spine and broad, high, deep
chest. The mastered millions, the de-
feated ones. have been the inerect.'

THE FIRST GRIN.

Well, baby wee, just yesterday
You smiled on me in such way
With such toothless, winsome grin
AS opened gates to let me in
To let me in and make me glad
The joys of being just dad.
Twas your first grin, and, allow.
l feared you didn't quite know how
TO crack a smile; you've looked so glum
At me just ever since you come
That was worried, avow;
But that's all past and done with now.
I was just holding your wee hand
When you looked up with such bland
And gummy grin, swear to you
I didn't know just what to do
But brought my foot down with a thump
That brought your mother on the jump
An, when pointed down at you,
She gave look an she grinned, too;
An there we were punched up, we three
Each one a-grinnin'; seemed to be
A regular grinfest; bless your heart,
May you and laughter never part

sat before the hearth in my dark
ened study. was musing upon q
strange addition which the afternoon
had brought to my curios. 1t had come
from Spain-whence the source OF
donor I knew not.
My curio was an iron tongue, eaten
with the rust of exposure, corroded
with the age Of centuries. Here and
there were seams and cords that stood
out like swollen veins in the forearm
Of laborer. The rust / first mistook
for blood. Blood was not incongruoua
with the fantasies which this strange
thing sent swirling through my brain.
Then there were two indistinct in.
scriptions, almost eaten away by the
boneycombing of the elements. At the
upper end of my iron cudgel deciphered
by aid Of the microscope an indistinct
date-1540. It was set across coat-of-
arms. The escutcheon I could not
make out; I thought, however, that
saw a bishops inter and heads
mans ak. On the swollen head was
cut in cruCe letters: "The Tongue OF
Roland"
With my strange cudgel of rusty
black came a scrap of parchment, evil

in letters bolder than the rest the title

entry:

~ ~
ical American Girl. .:~

Washington.-At high noon of Sat-
urday, February II, in the great East
room of the White House, will end the
distinguished social career OF Miss
Alice Roosevelt. and at the same mo-
menr there will begin the social career
OF Mrs. Nicholas Longworth.
For four years Miss Roosevelt has
been the leader of the young social set
called as rule the dancing set-of
Washington, and in fact OF the nation.
During those four years she has been
constantly before the American people,
petted and feted by them, and ac-
claimed by princes and rulers and ma
lions the world over. Few, if any,
girls the world has ever known have
had so distinguished career as this
simple, unassuming daughter of an
American president. No girl was ever
wo0ed more ardently than she has
been. The man who on February II
will become her husband has been an
almost constant attendant upon her
for at least two OF the four years she
has been before the public.
Now ends the picturesque career of
Alice Lee Roosevelt. Whatever she
may do as Mrs. Longworth, of Cincin-
natl, she will always be remembered
by tho people. who have elected her
father their president just as Alice
Roosevelt. What she did and what she
was as a girl will always hold the first
place. no matter what the future has
in store for her as matron.
Not since Queen Victoria was mar
rie1 to Prince Albert IS years ago has
there been a wedding in which the
bride has been the center of such
worldwide interest as will be the case
on February II. When that slim girl
Victoria, monarch in .her own right
of the greatest of the powers, walked
up the aisle of the royal chapel on al
mosr the same day of the same month
in 1910 to meet the man of her own

gate about $450,0O0,000. If Missouri,
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory are

Florida in the last two years gained
45.4 per cent, and Arkansas nearly as

was 21.8> per cent. Maryland's deposits

Calls Fireman to Aid Stork.

Richmond. Ind.-When the stork
was about to visit the home of George
Oblinger one midnight recently ne
rushed to the telephone and excitedly
asked for mo. e." A male voice
asked what was wanted, and Mr.
Oblinger replied. Come quick to 535
North Fourteenth street." A few mo-
ments later Mr.. Oblinger was SUR
prised to see the firemen rush up to
his house and demand to know where
the fire was. He protested that there
was no fire, but the chief insisted that
he mad called the department over the
telephone. and it then dawned upon
him that he had called mo. 81 i'll
stead of ''207." which is the physi-
clans telephone. The next day the
happy father sent the fire boys box
of cigars and asked that they say
nothing about their run.

bound together by a web Of stone
and wooden bridges. In the heart of
this inland archipelago was spread a
broad plaisance. From it's martial
torders rose four-walled tower,
capped at height of half thousand
feet with golden dragon. Beneath
the dragon swung monster bell.
The city was Client. The inscrip-
ton across the bell was simple: my
name is Roland; when I am rung has

Jean de Lannoy was the bellman.
For 60 years he had swung upon the
hempen chain which loosened Roland's
tongue. He had called the burghers
together to fight back invasions of the
northmen. He had signaled for rebel
lion and seen plebeians plunge their
swords in one another's backs.
But to-day Jean de Lannoy was in
grief. He was pulling, slowly and
sadly, the final stroke upon the call
which brought the weavers from their
work and finished their day of toll.
Roland's tongue beat out two pea;s
which echoed across the city painted
scarlet by the setting sun. Scarlet was
fitting hue, for Flanders had Just
washed herself in gore. Then. as
though in echoing challenge, rang out
the sharp shrill notes of a bugle. DE
Lannoy hastily fixed the hempen rope

scended the stone stairs to the prison
door. He was met by a stout knock
upon the outer door.

CnO1ce, the eyes OF the world were in

There has never been so interesting
bride since then. Beautiful Alexan-
dra, heralded by Tennyson, invoked
the love and admiration which have
never since failed her in England,

sitior came to her by marriage. Queen
Wilhelmina, the only queen in her own
right to be married since Victoria, was
an interesting bride, but Holland has
not the prestige of great power.
Nellie Grant, the daughter OF a
father famous and beloved. was the
cynosure of al eyes in the north when
she married. But the United States,
torn by a recent war. comparatively
unrecognized as world power, had no
such prestige then as now.

The Morgan Horse

Middle-aged men frequently are
heard to long for such a Morgan
horse as they had in their youth.
"They seem to have gone out of
fashion," is their sad conclusion.
The Department of Agriculture is
attempting to restore the full-blood
Morgan to general favor An ap-
preparation of fifty thousand dollars
has been made for experiments in
breeding Morgans at the government
station in Burlington, Vermont, and
government agents have been look
ing for good surviving types. No
better horse for the man who owns
only one or two animals was ever
developed. The Morgans descend
ed from the famous stallion Justin
Morgan, foaled in 1889, are good
work horses, and frst-class on the
road before carriage; besides they
are intelligent and docile.
