AND HE STRENGTHENED HIS TIE
Chicago Post.)

(CnlcagO POST
Twas habit he had; he had formed
it in youth
Just the same as the habit of telling
the truth
Or the habit, of eating or rubbing his
ear,
Or of anything else that some of us
think queer.
In our game we must wait till the
fidget he made,
Till he Strengthened his tie-and play
,,asss 70 R7sg'+7e's's'za
He would straighten his tie, all I'M
consciously-yes,
But it got on ones nerves, as you'll
easily guess,
He would grab it and yank it until
it was straight
Though en- route to a train and a
few minutes late.
In his duties he never was careless,
or shirked.
But he Strengthened his tie-and
worked.
AS citizen he was a model, indeed;
OF his work for uplifting the masses
you'd read,
And his speeches were fine and con-
vincing and wise
But his hearers would watch him
with fidgety eyes
While he gave his cravat a swift pat
and a poke,
And he Strengthened his tie-and
spoke.
When he went forth a-wooing, each
smile and each sigh
Was deftly divided 'twixt damsel and
tie,
But his courtship was fervid and win
ming, and so
The sequel is one you may very well
know,
For one evening right plump on his
two knees he dropped
And he Strengthened his tie-and
popped
But at last he fell i'll and was going to
And a person in bed, you know, don't
wear a tie,
He was worried we saw, till we
guessed what was wrong,
Then we brought him a tie that was
narrow and long
And we put it upon him, all carefully
tied
And he Strengthened his tie-and died.

STOLE WIFE'S FALSE TEETH
TO SATISFY CRAVING

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Sept. 20
Starving to death because her hus-
band persisted in stealing her false
teeth, was the charge made in a di-
vorce complaint filed today by Mrs
William Schlesinger
Williams, his wife declared was a
good husband when they were first
married But once he went on an
election day spree, and when she
wept tosee the condition in which he
returned, he struck her in the mouth,
breaking several of her teeth While
her mouth healed she was slowly
starving, but finally she was able to
buy a set Of false teeth.
Her husband, instead of showing
remorse for his act, went from bad
to worse After she had been using
her false teeth few days they dis
appeared Her husband had disposed
of them. She bought another set and
these, like the others, vanished Now
she asks that she be granted a separ-
alton so that she can buy one more
set of teeth and then eat to her hearts
content

Earnings of Artists
(Amos stote in the Bookman.)


Howard Chandler Christy is said to
have cleaned up $4,000 in one
year; which sum is something more
than the combined salaries of all
the members of President Roose-
velt's Cabinet This may be an
exaggeration-it probably is, and
it should be- Yet that it is possible
for Christy to make such sum and
that it is probable that his income
for a tWelve-month has climbed well
up toward that figure, is proven by the
fact that his royalties on an edition
of one portfolio of drawings, the ex-
ecution of which probably occupied
less than month, was $4,000, the
first year it was out. The advertis-
ing value of Christy's name is so
great that he has been offered hand
some studio apartments rent free
if he would only move into them and
establish the reputation of the build
ing. Harrison Fisher is another
popular artist who has found the
public very practically appreciative
His career in many respects has
been similar to that of Christy's, also
his income; though it is doubtful if
the latter has ever reached the high
water mark set by Christy's star
year. Record has it that Fishers
brush brought him $4,000 in. seven
months at one time.
Henry HUT is also a member of
this class In ten years he sprinted
from $4-a-week artists devil in
a Chicago engraving house all the
way to a seat of honor in the real
artists club While the first year of
Mr.. Hutts career" were somewhat
stormy, at least they were proper
tionately short He early found him
self and fixed rising scale of prices
on his work This proved an excel
lent plan, the only change necessary
in the programme being readjust-
ment of the scale in order to fright
en- off the buyer with limited purse
| The real, financial success of these
| three men, Christy, Fisher and HUT
lies in their ability to produce. Elk

A WOMAN TO BE PRETTY
Mast Have Luxurlant and Glossy Hair,
No Matter What Color.

The finest contour of female face, the
sweetest smile of a female mouth, loses
something if the head is crowned with
scant hair. Scant and falling hair. it is
now known, is caused by a parasite that
burrows into the scalp to the root of the
hair, where it saps the vitality. The lit
tie white scales the germ throws up in
burrowing are called dandrufr. To cure
dandruff permanently. then, and to stop
falling hair, that germ must be killed.
Newbro's Herpicide, an entirely new re-
suit of the chemical laboratory. destroys
the dandruff germ, and, of course, stops
the falling hair, and prevents badness.
