the lady had some special reason for
this queer performance. Then lie

Accordingly OH the fourth or fifth

the pitcher from her hands and filled

Indiana and War Paint

The Indians have tradition that
tells how the custom of painting their
faces originated. A certain big chief
while hunting deer was chased by Il
lion and fell exhausted, calling upon
the Big Bear, which Indians believe
was the grandfather of man, to save
him. The Big Bear heard and went to
the mans assistance, scratching his
foot and sprinkling the blood over him.
No animal will eat bear or taste his
blood, and when the lion smelled it he
turned away. But in doing so he
scratched some of the blood off the In
dams face with his claw by accident.
When he found himself unhurt, the
Indian was SO thankful that he let
the blood dry on Ills face. With the
marks of the lions claws this gave the
effect Of stripes, and ever afterward
when going on hunting expeditions for
man or beast the Indian painted his
face in stripes as charm against
danger.

1t is strange that SO strong Il preju-
dice against the left hand has livel and
increased for centuries when there is
no natural or physiological reason for
it. Examination of the skeleton Of a
person who was strong, healthy and
well formed in life shows that the
bones of the left hand and aliii arc Just
rs large and capable as Those OF the
right. The study OF physiology shows,
too, that the muscles and liguments
and cartilages that fastened that per-
sons arms to his body and gave them
the power of motion We're made to do
their work just as well on one side Of
the body as on the other. If the left
side was the weaker, 1t was because of
the failure to exercise it as freely as
the other.-Scrap Book.

Gripping the reader fast with
its tale of the osfoundino Trans.

Gripping the reader fast with
its tale of the astounding trans
formation, in one day, of a
ragged London waif into the
possessor of incalculable wealth,
this story by Louis Tracy meas
ures up fully to the standard of
this romancer's other popular
tales. In the un folding Of the
story he depicts NOT merely The
change in the hero's material
instances, but the interesting
development of his character.
The stirring adventures in which
Philip Arson became emoroliea
by reason of his suddenly ac-
CURED riches, literally sent to
him from heaven, his loyalty to
the girl friend of his childhood
and his manly efforts to win her
love, are among the many ele-
ments of a plot which is de-
peloped with Mr.. Tracy's well
known skill.
