HEART TO HEART TALKS

JESSE JAMES. JRs HONOR MAN.

JESSE JAMES, JR., HONOR MAN.
 Jesse James, Jr.-Honor Man.
 lie was a boy with a handicap,
 But he won out.
 Jesse James, Jr., of Kansas City Is a practicing attorney and stands high n his profession, though but recently ad- mitted to the bar.
 He Is self-made in the highest sense.
 His father was killed when the boy was 6 years of age. The ugly brand of the outlaws son was upon him. He made that shame a stepping stone upon which to rise to higher things. When he was P years old he quit school of his own motion. He said he was old enough to work and support his mother.
 This was the boys way:
 He worked in a packing plant. He saved his money and opened cigar store. He wrote a book defending his fathers name from unwarranted islanders. The book sold well. When he was 21 years of age he had S7o0 in bank and owned the neat cottage in which he and his mother lived.
 More than that
 All the time he kept up his studies, taking a regular high school course, his mother being his teacher. He entered the night law school, where he graduated with honors In a class of 37 applicants for license to practice law he stood at the head and the board of examiners said he has the best legal mind of any young man who has recently appeared be- fore them.
 Pretty good for the outlaws boy.
 Today Jesse James, Jr, is worth $1O,0O and is fairly launched In his profession. He is married to a fine girl He has never in his life tasted whisky, beer or to- bacco. He Is known to everybody in Kan sas City .as a scrupulously honest young man. Which proves again that the things outside of a man cannot overcome the l spirit that is within him. | The human will Is king. l It dominates. It overmakes and molds and fashions every other faculty of the man. It dictates. It compels. This Is true, young man: ] If you determine that you will be eer- 1 tain sort of man or accomplish certain things, holding fast that determination; 1 If you will keep on trying to be or do, you will, by the wonderful power that Is in you, do what you want to do or pe 1 what you want to become.
 Jesse James, Jr., proved that. He determined to cover the stain Of the family name by making that family name | all luminous with honor If he lives he may be governor of Mis- souri some day. He aims at nothing less.
 Speed him in this laudable ambitionl

COMPREHENSION QUEEN.

recent cable dispatch tells about the wardrobe of Queen Marguerite, said to be the greatest in Europe. This queen does not wear a gown more than five times, no matter what it costs. She has famous jewels. F
 And her handkerchiefs!
 She has one which is the finest prod uct of the lacemakers. valued at $3,0o0 It is so dainty the weight of it in the hand is imperceptible. It can be folded up in a gold case as small as a doll s thimble.
 All of which reminds us
 We knew a Queen Marguerite once. We called her Maggie" for short
 This queen had eyes like fawn's, glo- rious hair, a mouth kissable beyond all peradventure, a complexion like the rosy tints of early morn. She was graceful as becomes a queen, and could climb a stake and ridered' rail fence in way that would stagger all the royalty of Eu- rope.
 Queen Maggie wore her dresses more than five times. Indeed, she did not have more than five dresses all told, if she had that many. We remember three of them. There was the linsey woelsey. In that gown she mixed the cows. got breakfast for tine shands," and did chores about the house. She had at least two others, both calico.
 Those calico dresses!
 She wore one to school. There were polka dots over it. And when she put over it a white apron with shoulder straps she was sweet in linsey wool sey Tn calico and apron she was every inch a queen. The other calico was worn to church on Sunday. It was of a check pattern and accompanied by some ribbons. You might ponder long as to which costume was the more be- coming.
 Her handkerchiefs!
 None of them cost $3000, perhaps none of them so much as 30 cents dainty white linen mostly, a bandanna or two. And when she put the white

Don't get out of your bed in tho morning and go immediately to the window and breathe deeply 20 times or 10 times. Don't stand at all in front of the window just after you arise.
 Why?
 Because while you have been sleeping your blood has withdrawn itself from the skin surfaces and your nerve forces have concentrated themselves at inside centers. If you expose yourself under these conditions, unless you are very strong and robust you are likely 10 catch your "death of cold"
 Don't take a cold bath the first thing in the morning after you arise.
 Why2 For like reasons-your blood is not in the surface. It has not been needed there. The bedclothes have kept the skin warm. And a cold plunge at this time, unless you are quite strong, will do you more harm than good. If you take cold bath immediately after brisk physical exercise, which brings the blood to the outside, or If you take cold bath following hot bath, which produces the same effect, you may get some bene- fit.
 Don't drink a glass of cold water as soon as you get out Of bed. If you uIlnk aDyIDlnB DeIOT0 DTeakldSls ldh6 IL little sip or two of hot water.
 Why2
 Because the stomach is not ready to do business before breakfast The blood is withdrawn If you douche 1t with cold water at such a time, you chill that organ and derange its functions; also, if you pour a lot of hot water into 1t, you wash out the gastric juices and impede digestion.
 Don't take violent exercise before breakfast nor immediately following breakfast.
 Why?
 Because your vital forces before break fast are low and need recuperating from within. After breakfast the processes of digestion should not be interfered with until the stomach gets a chance to begin operations.
 But you say
 These don ts contravene popular beliefs in some respects and the advice of "health magazines" In others. That may be true, but popular opinions may be wrong, and health magazines are not in- falllble.
 We have gathered these truths from a hygienist who has given these matters a lifetime study. In his field he is a good authority.
 Besides
 The reasons for these views are given, and they correspond with reason and common sense, the best authority of all.

 The fact is that we should choose at Chicago man for second place who is entirely worthy of taking the presidency at moments notice. Five presidents have died in office and there Is no guar antee that the next will not share this fate-which God forbid. Doubtless it is difficult to find a man of the right cali- bre willing to take the thanldess task. but this is an occasion where man must be drafted if necessary and look as pleas ant as possible.
