To Be Ponular.

II Is astonishing how much you can
learn from people in social intercourse
when you know how TO look at them
rightly, but 1t is a fact that you can
only get a great deal out Of them BY
giving them a great deal yourself
The more you radiate yourself, the
more magnanimous you are; the more
generous Of yourself, the more you
viii get back.

smiled in vexed way Then he took
a leech out of a glass jar
Let me show you. something" he
said. Bare your arm"
The cigaret tiend barred his paIe
arm, and the other laid the lean
black leech upon it. The leech fell
to work busily It's body began to
swell. Then. all of sudden, kind
of shudder convulsed it. and 1t fell to

took up the little corpse between his
finger and thumb. Look at it," he
said. Quite dead. you see. You

smoker sullenly.

And the physician clapped two
ieeches on the young mans thin arm"
If they both die" said the patient,

Even as he spoke the smaller leech
shivered and dropped on his knee

one fell beside it.
This is CHASTITY" said the young
man. Il am worse than the pestilence
to these leeches."
1T is the empyreumatic oil in your
