Dislike Curly Haired Men.

1t is not generally known that there
is a well defined prejudice against
curly haired men when it comes to
choosing a jury. When asked to ex-
plain the objection to curly haired men
a prominent lawyer said:
when / was just starting life my
legal mentor inculcated that idea very
forcibly into me- He said that curly
haired men almost invariably had been
the pampered darlings Of their parents
and in their youth had been so ac-
customed to having their own way
that they had grown up in the belief
that everybody on earth was wrong
except themselves. In this way the
seeds of opposition were sown, and
as men they made it point to dis
agree with everybody and everything.
If every other man on jury voted one
way they would vote the other. They
usually are as stubborn as the day is
long; hence a curly haired man never
goes on jury if I can prevent it,

bravely; please, Mr.. Sturgis, may

The manager expected to glover at
this bold request, but the man in him
smiled instead. He. too, noticed a diff
ference, and her pluck appealed to him.
He would try to let her down gently.
"What experience have you had?" he
inquired.
"Only in college," she replied, ''but

could contain himself no longer, brought
her to herself.

the look of gratitude she gave him he
suddenly conceived the possibility of a
secondary meaning to the phrase.
Aloud he only asked, You haven't

Miss Dobson's
Chance.
Copyright, 1905, by P. c. Eastment.
By Katharine Kingsley Crosby

Her name was Dobson, but she in
BILE, not in any conventional way, like
a process of law or getting married,
however, but simply by going upon the
stage. In pursuance of this plan she
haunted the office of the theatrical
lI.n;rar. Malcolm Sturgis, far up on
;Se ion floor of one of the older Office
buildings in that part of the city which
tie casual shopper never sees.
The elevator boy got to know her
very we'll Jim was susceptible
youth and when on one of her ascen-
sions Miss DObson CHANGED to drop the
circlet of blue ribbon which tied her
left sleeve above a dimpled elbow he
made love knot of it and decorated
the controlling lever. His passengers,
if they noticed it at all, doubtless
ascribed it to some hidden aesthetic
warnings
From all this you may guess that
MISS OOUSOn was pLCttJ, Will " ~tN'
very true, and, moreover, dainty and
girlish, which does not always follow,
with wide gray eyes and CLINT of
gold in her soft brown hair.
She had a reserve of temperament
and dramatic power which her COM
plexion and bearing quite belied, how
ever, and it may have been this which
made it so hard to get hearing in the
Office above stairs.
Jim had carried her back and forth
now for over month and noticed that
her color was beginning to fade, a fact
which proved it to be her own at least,
but also suggested that her ambition
was slowly consuming her with its
white heat.
He knew her type, for he had seen
ii before, and it never gave up.
But this girl was younger and fresher
and-well, different, Jim thought. He
was a chivalrous chap, and he lay
awake nights thinking how he might

Relatively of knowledge.

The RELATIVELY of knowledge" means
that you can know things only as they
are related to your faculties. The
thing in itself and apart from the way
it appears to US is unknown and I'M
movable. Absolute knowledge is out
of the question. In word, we know
appearances, but never the reality be-
hind the appearances; the shadows, but
never the substance itself. In fine, the
gist of the doctrine Of the "relativity of
knowledge" is that our so called knowl-
edge is only phantasmagoria. We
know the appearance, but we have no
means of deciding whether the appear
ance is true or false.-New York Amer

any good to speak to Mr.. Sturgis, the
manager, about her some morning.
Malcolm Sturgis had given the boy a
five dollar bill the previous Christmas
and always passed the time Of day
when he was not thinking about some
thing else, but somehow his manner
did not invite liberties.
A second month passed while Jim
still pondered over the problem, and
Miss DObson's neat black suit was
wearing shiny at the seams in spite of
careful brushings. Then the emo came
It was late in November, when the
days are very short and dusk falls
early. Miss Dobson had been waiting
for the time when the door of the
great mans office should open and she
be hidden to enter.
So she had waited all these weary
weeks, watching others pass in and
out and reading on their faces what
their fortunes had been. In spite of
the despair which she so often saw
her own hope never faltered, for she
was sure of herself and her powers.
For this reason she was still sitting
there, though it was after and every
body had gone except the manager.
Suddenly the door opened, and NAL
com Sturgis hurried out and crossed
the room into the corridor outside,
where the elevator was waiting. The
girl sprang up and followed, and the
door changed upon them, the two of
them, and Jim.

so suddenly that it fairly bounced.
Instead Of her speech Miss Dobson
