Not So Very Weak.

The train was on a windy pass in the
Rockies. There were in the car few
miners, two cowboys. a woman, who
looked i'll, and a man clothed in very
British tweeds. He was evidently used
to roughing it and sat beside the open
window Indifferent to the cold air that
swirled into the car.
Behind him sat the woman, SILVER
ing. Across the aisle was large
boned westerner. He did not seem to
mind the wind himself, but he gave a
kind. solicitous glance toward the wo-
man.
After an hour of shivering she leaned
forward and asked the man in front of
her to close the window. He paid no
attention to her request, except that he
looked straight ahead and said, ad-
dressing himself to the world at large.
Americans seem to be weak lott
Then the tall man across the aisle
rose slowly. His head came just under
the bell cord. He reached across the
tweed suit, pushed the owner Of it
rather rudely into the corner of the
seat laid hold Of the window catch
with his big thumb and finger and sent
the window down with q slam.
Il guess we amt so very weak, pard-
uer," he said.

announced that doubtless there were
bears at the next station that ate up
little boys who cried. The yo6ngster

through interest in outwitting the bears
as through fear He became cheerful

whtstler,. WHITE Lock.

As long as the name Of James Nc
Eeill Whistler lives among those who
saw him it will recall the famous white
iock which stood out so conspicuously
from the mass of his black hair. It
was, as he used to say himself. well
placed" and was always treated from
the harmonious point of view, to devel-
op its greatest effect in his appearance.
One day when Dorothy Menpes, daugh-
ter of the well known English artist.
Mortimer Menpes, was a baby and was
asleep on her pillow. Whistler went to
see her. 4 white feather had by chance
settled on her head and lay in a spot
exactly corresponding with the white
lock on his own head. ''That child ia
going to develop into something great"
he exclaimed, "for, see, she begins with
q feather, just like me!'
