The Tell Tale Voice.

"If you want to tell whether or not
the man you are talking to is telling
the truth don't look him in the eyes,"
said a Denver bank teller to some
friends. 1T is the voice, when you
don't look at the eyes. that tells you
whether the other fellow is lying. We
use the system frequently in the bank.
A man will come in to tell us some
business tale. We look at his feet or
his hands or his knees, but never in
his eyes. If he's telling the truth his
voice will be firm and straightforward,
and the absence CT your gaze in his
eyes will not affect it. But if he's
lying he'll be confused by your ac-
tion, and his voice will tremble; he'll
hem and haw, and clear his throat.
You may rest assured then thas he's
stringing you"

Queer idea Of Enjoyment.

DIR. Juliet Severance writes in the
Vegetarian Magazine:
Il am often reminded Of clinic
case brought before the class when l
was in medical college in 1858. The
man had gout and rheumatism, both
the small and large joints being i'm
movable, and his suffering was severe.
DR.. R. T. Trail, professor of theory and
practice, was explaining to us the i'm
portance of very strict and abstemi-
Gus diet. The poor fellow tried vainly
to turn his head, and grunted out: I
can't. go that; want to enjoy life
while | do live"

Boy In Misery IL Years-Eczema In
Rough Scales, Itching and In
Manufactured by cuticura.

"Cuticura has put stop to twelve
years of misery passed with my son.
AS an infant l noticed on his body
red spot and treated same with differ
ent remedies for about five years, but
when the spot began to get larger l
put him under the care Of doctors.
Under their treatment the disease
spread to four different parts of his
body. During the day it would get
rough and form like scales. At night
it would be cracked, inflamed and bad
ly swollen, with terrible burning and
itching. One doctor told me that my
sons eczema was incurable, and gave
it up. l decided to give Cuticura trial.

the time she reached an attractive

Several dropped in Mr.. Bangs for
few words and. the time passed very
quickly until four, when Spifins was
expected. At 4:1O the telephone
rang.

day. Well, say, that's good 81

Mr.. Bang found Spifilns and two
other men sitting at cozy table over
in a corner. IntroductiOns followed
and Bang soon discovered one of the
men could tell awfully funny stories
not the old timers you hear every
where, but brand new ones. And all
the while that Bang enjoyed himself
he argned that he was getting closer
to Spiffins and was the more certain
of the big deal going through success
fully. The only difference he could
see between talking to Spifins at the
office or spending few moments with
him at the club was the price of the
cigars smoked.

He was awfully put out about the in
considerate fight of time. Still, on
second thought, this was good bust
ness, and few details must be sacri-
feed when there's something big on.
Spiffins was entitled to some of his
attention and the other men were sure
to prove valuable acquaintances. And
what stories the fat one could tell! He
hoped he'd be able to remember some
of 'em. There was one amusing one
he must remember to tell Emily. The
memory of Emily recalled to his mind
that there were some social doings
that should have taken him home
early. Yes, he must break away from

Spifflns thought it would be nice tc

fell in with the idea and there wasn't
any way for Bang to get out of stay

he stayed. Maybe he could talk it W
little with Spiffins on the side.
Then some one suggested dropping
in to a good play. Bang was simply
