She Didn't Trust Him.

From the New York Sun.
Do women trust implicitly In the courtesy
Of men? Apparently not In all circum-
stances, as was brought rather painfully to
one mild-mannered man in an elevated car
recently.
The man was standing holding on by
strap in front of woman sitting. while d.
rectly back Of him on the opposite side or
the car was another woman standing.
When presently the train drew near 70 the
station at which. as 1t now appeared. the
woman sitting. in front of whom the mild
hammered man was standing. intended TO
get off, she reached forward and around the
mild hammered man to the woman standing
back Of him. to indicate to her that here
was a seat she could have. And she didn
rise from her seat to do this; she didn
give the man any chance whatever to seize
1t. not the slightest; but still keeping II. she
reached forward and around him ana
touched the other lady, and then kept the
seat until the other woman was where she
could be sure of 1t.
All Of which gave the mild-mannered man
quite a shock.

Moody attended the Pickering School, the

the exercises Mr.. Justice Moody's father
was asked to remain. and was told by the
teacher that his son had shown such I'M

him the best education possible, and he
would never be sorry.
Leaving the public schools, William H.
Moody was sent, for short time only, to

Increased deformity is added to what may
have been merely foot strain in the first
place. A durable case has become well nigh
incurable and the medical profession l.
again justly liable to well-deserved cen3ure
Any factor which tends to diminish the
muscular power of the foot may cause fla
foot. A great increase in the weight borne
by the foot may cause it,
This increase in weight may be actual,
such occurs in people who put on great
deal of fat. or IL may be relative. such as
occurs in athletes. jumpers especially. But
by far the most common cause Is a cramp-
ing of the foot, brought about by improper
shoes.
For treatment of this condition mechan-
icil support to the deformed foot is practl-
csl!y all that * necessary. This mechanical
support is best afforded by means of the

1t is a far cry from the first Moody an
cestor to those of today. yet looking back
into the past one recalls traits handed down
from father to son which have made Mr..
Justice Moody's characteristic qualities.
The first of the family was William Moody,
the emigrant, who had three sons, Samuel
being the direct ancestor of the justice, and
history relates that both father and son
were men of note. both in the ecclesiastical
and civil affairs of the town.
Many of the Moody family stood high in
the ministerial field. and among them was
Rev. Joshua Moody Of Portsmouth. re-
markable for his firmness of character,
and who suggested the escape of Philip
English and wife from prison at the time
of the witchcraft delusion.
Rev. Samuel Moody is well known
through his connection with Drummer
Academy, of which he was master. During
his regime the academy was at the height
of it's prosperity. The little parish OF
Byfeld, the ancestral home of SO many
distinguished men. held no greater mathe-
matician than Paul Moody. the grand
father Of Mr.. Justice Moody. 1t was he
who invented the first pillow in America
He was the father of a large family OF
children, Henry, the son, being the father
of Mr.. Justice Moody.
