 A DEADBEAT.
 He beat drum
 In Berger,s band;
 He beat his son
 With heavy hand
 He beat his way
 To distant parts
 On rails and boats
 And farmers carts.
 At beating this
 And beating that.
 His creditors
 And ele the cat.
 He seemed to take
 great delight.
 BUT
 His wife beat him
 At home at night.  Now that the claim has been made that deadly microbes turk in street car straps, we will have a better excuse than ever before to sit tight in our seats and let the woman with the bundles stand up. A boil on the neck is worth two in the pot.
 A woman left her baby in the street to pursue a man who had stolen aier purse and the baby was struck by trolley car. The incident merely illustrates the tend eney of modern times.

KEEP YOUTH AND BEAUTY.
Relaxation Urged on the Weary and
the Lazy Equally Urged to Go
Out and Walk.

Is not your youth, your beauty land
this means your healthy worth keep
ing?
Can you with complaisance look for
ward to being faded, haggard or beer-
ish and ailing at 80 or 35?
Will you not be frank with yourself
now before it is too late-and so
plan your life that a rest period may
lie yours each day? Take a time to
call your own, when, closeted in your
own pretty boudoir ard clad in a loose,
warm dressing gown, you may fling up
your windows, indulge in a dozen deep
restful breaths, lifting the chest and
head high, and then after taking a few
gentle trunk turnings to right and
left-bending and twisting in all direc-
lions to keep the waist line supple and
the figure youthful-fling the arms up
over the head and make great sweep
ing circles with them to help the cir
cula.ion at important nerve centers.
After indulging in a few deep knee
bendings and half a dozen more deep
breaths as a finish, throw yourself on
your couch-relaxing every muscle and
driving all thoughts and worries from
your brain-simply rest mind and
body. You may even sleep, if you
will, for from 20 minutes to an hour.
This relaxed rest will do you more
good than two hours sleep taken un-
der different circumstances, declares
Nine Hebe, in the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
But see to it that your window is
open a little both top and bottom dur
ing your rest and that you have a light
warm covering thrown owe you, as
you must avoid chill after exercise and
during the rest period.
Again, you who are sick, do not al
ways order your carriage when you
have but six or seven blocks to go, for
a brisk walk in the open air will help
keep you young and is often actually
necessary to your health,
| believe it to be a fact that the So
called rich often fall into dangerously
lazy udDltS HIOuSu Inc CouFCh1CheoI
and luxuries that their wealth sur
rounds them with.
And so to the girl who is forced to
walk from six to ten blocks daily,
say, be thankful, and do not waste
your time in envying your wealthy
neighbor. Fate DEGREES that you must
take this life-giving, health-retainine
exercise each day. -
When fatigued after a trying" day
or tired out from social duties, throw
yourself upon a bed or couch and re
main in the first position for five full
minutes without removing hand o.
foot. The body is suddenly relaxed
and a sense of compete rest takes tn
place of the strain that results from
being too long upon the feet.
Perfect reposc may be gained by ly
t ing on the fiat of the back for half al
hour at a time, with hands out
l stretched. Let the head rest upon
, pillow that is not too high. If vol
! cannot sleep, close your eyes and pu

words, uttered as they were in a mo-
ment of mischievous gallantry, had
brought to his mind the truth that he
was about to take a plunge that would
separate him from all that would recall
Renee and her surroundings to him.
Here at Quebec the familiar accents OF
her mother tongue, the sight Of her
countrymen, and all that p~ertained to
civilization, had served to lessen to

morrow on, savage sights and sounds
and the unaccustomed environment Of
primeval nature would emphasize to
him his loneliness and separation. His
glance fell upon a star burning bright
er than it's fellows, and he recognized
in it an old friend. n that had kept
him company through many a solitary
vigil, one that had presaged victory for
him before more than one battlefield,
one that he realized was looking down
even then from French skies and was
guarding his hearts treasure, wherever
in that broad land she might be.
The words that fell upon his a met
with a slumbering comprehension, but
the touch aroused him. The contact
of the fevered hand seemed to burn
him, seemed a proclamation of the
thoughts of the revery he had faller
into.
He was awakened in an instant;
the full meaning Of the woman's ac-
cents flashed over him. He realized
that in the playing of his part he had
gone too far. He started back a step.

foot angrily. "He can console himself
out of the next shipload Of girls. That
is the sort of wife that world suit

shoulder and ga&ed into her face, il
Illuminated by a ray of light from the
window. The woman's lack of prin-
ciple appealed less to his anger than
did the realization of the fateful con-
sequences to himself had the vile plot
succeeded, the full details of which
from the day he arrived to the pres
ent moment flashed clear and distinct
through his mind.

dent tone, as he sought vainly to con-
troll himself, ibid / not say that there

fell across her face; it was that Of
