JUST HOW SOME MEN
SHARPEN A PENCIL

No woman should marry a man till she
has seen him sharpen a lead pencil. She
can tell by the way he does IL whether
he Is suited TO her or not. Here are a
few infsllible rules for her guidance In
the matter:
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 fnds out that there are
others and asks him who they are and
what ne means by calling on them will
assume an air OF excessive dignity.
The man who holds the pencil. out at
arms length and whittles away at IT, hit
or mss, Is impulsive. jolly, good-natured
and generous. .s
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 ana
imaginative and subject to exuberant
flights OF fancy. He will always be seek
Ing TO mount upward and accomplish
things ir the higher regions OF business
and art. and his wife's greatest trouble
will be to hold him down 10 earth and
prevent his flying OF altogether on a tan
gent.
The man who sharpens his pencil all
around smoothly and evenly, as though
II were planed off in an automatic shar-
pener. Ia systematic and slow to anger.
but he is so undertaking from a fixed
principle that he would drive a woman
with sensitive temperament TO distrac-
tion In less than six months On the con.
trary he who jumps In and leaves the
sharpened wood as jagged as saw teeth
around the top has a nasty temper and
Will spank the baby on the slightest pro-
vocation. There are certain women who
can manage that kind OF man beautiful
ly however. snd IL he gets a wife with
calm, persuasive eye he will come down
from his high horse In a few minutes and
be as meek ne a lamb.
The man who doesn't stop to polish the
point OF lead once the wood is cut away
has streak OF coarseness in his nature.
He who shaves of the lead till the point
Is like needle is refined. delicate and
sensitive. He will not be likely to accom-
plish so much as his more common broth
er. but will never shock you and IL with
out doubt a good man to tie to.-New
York Press.

HIS SCALP TORN
BUT he ESCAPED
SERIOUS INJURY

man who told the hospital physicians
that he is Fred Johnson and had been
living at a South Main street lodging
house, was struck last evening by a train
near the Union avenue bridge between
Olneyville and Arlington. and his scalp
was torn open.
The train had been picking up cars at
Arlington and was on its way TO the
Dixie street switch TO go up the Pascoag
line.
Trainmen Thomas Dauphinis. Al Ber-
nard and ]. j. Helmer were on the en-
gine pilot when they saw Johnson and two
others cross the track; but the two
jumped out OF the way when the train
approached, while johnson seemed 70 be
unable 10 do so.
DaIphinis pushed johnson from the
tracks. but not so far as 10 save him
from the injury he received, and he was
taken 10 the Rhode Island Hospital in the
ambulance.

II has been said that the secret OF
woman's age is more often revealed by
the appearance OF her hands than by her
features or figure. The reason for this is
not far 10 seek-comparatively few wom-
en- take the trouble to disguise the first
signs OF Increasing years in this respect.
Wrinkles. loose skin, red and pronounced
'knuckles. scanned palms. short. brittle
nails and prominent veins are alI-accord-
ing to an unquestioned authority-signs
OF the encroaching strides OF time
American and French women give con-
siderable attention 10 the preservation OF
their hands. When the first disiguring
signs appear the hands should be thor
oughly saturated each night in grease.
The skin is made TO absorb as much fat
as possible. According to some specialists
the nails should be soaked each night in
skim or sour milk. though this will take
more time than the average woman may
be disposed 10 give. Soaking the fingers
and the backs OF the hands in warm
milk Is without doubt an excellent means
OF eliminating wrinkles and improving the
texture of the skin The sweet oil treat
ment is another method much favored
and Is especially recommended where the
skin has become hard or scanned. Bring a
small quantity OF the sweet oil to tepid
heat. then hold the hands in this. after
ward rubbing the oil well into the hands
Lemon is favored as a bleaching agent
and the application OF a little warm lem
on juice to which has been added a little
borax will help TO whiten the hands AL
ways dry the hands thoroughly after
washing and slip on each night a pair OF
loose leather gloves carefully nended as
to finger tips. II the hands are creased
the gloves will soon become sufficiently
coated inside to act as an emolient.

CONVENTION OF
TRANSFERS HAS
FIST FIGHTS

Chicago, Aug. TT yesterdays de-
velopments are any indication OF what
Is TO come. there undoubtedly will be
some lively times in the convention OF
the International Brotherhood OF Team
sters.
The fourth annual convention of this
organization began yesterday In. a be-
wilderment OF electioneering for the
presidency. and so bitter did the feeling
grow between the different factions
that IL was necessary for the police 10
maintain order
The contending factions are headed
by President c. p Shea. who Is seeking
reelection, and by Albert Young. for
mer president OF the organization. ~.
Thomas Martin, a leader OF the New
York delegation, which is opposed TO
Shea, became involved In an argument
at the doors OF the convention hall with
some OF Shea's followers. Angry words
soon led TO blows, and when the police
arrived In answer 10 a hurry call, Mar
tin was lying unconscious on the floor,
while one OF Sheas adherents sat
astride his chest beating him in the
face with both fists. Several persons
were arrested. but all were released
later on bonds.
John Buckley OF Boston. an admirer
of Shea. became involved In a fight with
some OF Young's friends. but the police
quickly separated the belligerents
About the only business transacted
yesterday was the seating of eight New
York delegates. There are still 46 OF
these delegates unseated, and IL Presi-
dent Shea has his way. not more than
three OF the as will be allowed to take
part in the convention.
