Bows and Girls Of Arabia.

A traveller in Arabia who passed a
wear among the people tells that he did
NOT see a single doll in the hands of a
girl nor observe one playing at keep
ing house" in any way. Neither did
the traveller notice an Arabian boy
playing at ball or marbles.
Speaking with a grave sheik on the
subject, the latter said to the stranger,
"You must be queer people in the west
to let your young folks get their hands
dirtied in SPORT
The Arabian lads, it seems, walk
about trying to look like little men as
much as they can when not engaged
in acts Of duty or in learning essential
things -----

CLEVELAND AND GRANT.

Copyright. 1905. by Edwin A. Nye.

CLEVELAND AND ONHNA'
Sweet are the uses OF adversely.
1t may not seem so sometimes.
To him who is exercised thereby the
Christening may be not pleasant, but
grievous. yet lit works out far more
exceeding weight Of glory"
Which Is proved again In the career
Of Grover Cleveland and by the career
of every great man.
No one has ever trOd the higher
planes of life except he has come up &c
his place by way that sometimes was
dark and stony.
There was time in the life OF Grover
Cleveland when he had TO decide be
tween the demands Of his party ano
the demands of his consctence-on the
one hand the tumult and the shouting
of the captains, on the other the WINS
nering of the inward monitor. Ana
treading the wine press alone. he shul
his ears to the shoutings and listened
TO the still. small voice.
Grover Cleveland had his falllhgs.
but he will always stand In the recol'
lection Of his countrymen superb hg
ure of moral courage.
He faced detraction and SANDER
Some of 1t he lived down. Some OF
his detractors he won over. There are
those who believed to the day Of his
death that going into Office poor he
came out a millionaire. 1t remained
for the probate court-when this stub
born patriot was in his grave-to show
the world that he was not rich man
Adversely made him great.
His efforts to DO the right ana hl'
bravery TO suffer wrong shaped hin
into the full measure of real greatness
1t was so with General Grant.
If was dark for him when the com
maudant of that lonely post on the Ia
cifc coast gave Grant notice that IL
must reform his drinking habits or re
sign.
And Grant did both.
Vicksburg was not the first grea
victory for Grant. Down on that llttI
forest farm near st. Louis he laid sieg
10 his fell lust for liquor and con
Quered It.
Like Cleveland. he was greatly abuse
bv his fellows. To this day there ar
many who believe he was drunhard.
Nor was AppomattoX IFS latest viz
tory. It was when he was old an
broken in fortune. mortolly stricken b
disease. fighting death with broke
sword. he rose to the full height
real greatness and sent to all his coul
trymen his dying cxhortation:
"Let us have peace.
Cleveland and Grant are far beyon
the reach Of partisan rancor ana ce
sure of the multitude their grand II
ures lit up by the pure sunshine
merited fame.
Adversely made them great.

A WILD RACE.
When the First Pony Express Was
Nearing Sacramento.

Mccarthy OA~t eit'~'NS'
Cornelius Cole. ex-senator from Cali
fornia, tells in his memoirs how the
first pony express reached Sacra-
mento Cal. long before the first trans
continental railroad was surveyed:
"Tbose who were there TO witness 1t
will never forget the arrival OF tho
first of these express messengers at
Sacramento. 1t was an occasion OF
great rejoicing. and everybody, big and
little. old and young, turned out TO
see the fun. All business for the time
was suspended. Even the courts ad-
idurned for the event A large num-
Der of the citizens Of all classes, grave
and gay mounted on fast horses, rode
out some miles on the line to meet the
incoming wonder.
"The waiting was not long The III
lie rider upon his blooded charger, I'M
der whip and spur, came down upon
them like Il meteor, but made not the
slightest halt TO greet his many VISIT
ors. Then began race Of all that
waiting throng over the stretch back
TO the city, the like Of which has never
been seen. 1t may have been rlyaled
In speed and confusion by some OF the
cavalry disasters during the war thal
presently followed, but the peaceful
people Of Sacramento, am sure never
beheld anything Of the kind before o.
afterward.
"The whole cavalcadc, shouting anC
cheering. some waving banners anC
bareheadcd, riding at the top Of thei
speed, dashing down street, nigh

Ono View of the Kiss.

The olfactory kiss is Monaghan. The
nutritive affair is European. The Mon
gollan kiss is with the nose. The Eu-
ronean kiss is with the mouth.
The Monaghan kiss indicates that
the party shifted would be an agree
able prey. The European variety indl-
Gates that the party embraced would
make delectable meal.
They are but the different forms OF
the same instinct of preseryation-the
give and take of wild beasts

The Iinn,s Attack.

As 10 a lions method of attack Fred
erick Courteney Selous says in his
book: AS q rule, l think, lion SEXES
n sleeping man by the head, and IN
that case. unless it is a very old ana
weakly animal, death must usually be
instantaneous. as its great fang teeth
will be driven into the brain through
the thickest negro skull" Similarly
when q lion attacks an animal 1t tries
70. get at the head or the throat-at the
vitals of the animal Says Mr.. Selous'
"NIv experience is that when single
lion tries to Kill an OK or buffalo II
invariably seizes it near the muzzle
with one paw and usually succeeds IN
either breaking its victims neck oil
causing it to break it Itself by its OWL
weight in falling When several hons
attack an OK or a buffalo they VII
often bite and tear it all over and tax
n long time to kill it."

TEE HOT WEATHER FACE.

Yes, the weather is warm.
Read the fact, writ large, on the hot
weather faces about you.
See the scowls?
Look at the faces.
Beads Of perspiratIon are on them.
The faces tell story Of sticky clothes
and burning feet. The air is murky'
and the faces frown. Brows are cor
rugated. Mouths droOp at the edges.
Ewes are sullenly glazed. Gestures OF
dissent and protest. Frowns' Sco"lS'
Look at the faces.
These are the faces you frequently
see. But they are distorted. They re-
pel YOU. You dare scarcely smile into
them, though ever so feebly. Thunder
clouds, ready to burst in anger sit on
the common browS
And so. though you may try TO look
pleasant with the angry, fussy bunch
of humans about you, before you are
aware. so much are we all Of kin, your
own temperature goes up notch OF
two.
But wait.
There's a face that is different. 1t
is the face of a woman-a rare woman
She is hot, like you, like the others.
Undenlably her face is somewhat red
But her brow is placid. Her eyes have
q laugh in them. And her face IS smll-
ING, II is the smile that will not come
off. What a relief to look at the pleas
ant face and note the cheerful manner
You forget your troubles, and your
temperature drops just little.
What a handsome face. And how
uglv the faces Of the others by com
parison! The other women are better
dressed than she, some Of them, but
They spoil all their beauty by the III
sistent crouch they carry. And the
more grouchy the hotter they become
and the uglier.
There's another face-a mans race.
Good humor radiates from ever,
vantage point. Jollity is bodied 1oru
from scalp lock to double chin. IL
nerspires. but smiles He mops III
face. but his eyes are saying, ITS a
ways warm in summer" He appear
TO be a little cooler than the Others
He really is cooler
How is that?
why. there's physical heat and mel
tai heat That is TO say, you ar
warm. You say to yourself, i
hot" You go on believing you are Nc
and saying, My, but its hot" I'D
result is-and this is entirely scientlI
YOU pile mental heat on the top
physical heat. You are hot in bod
you also get hot in mind. That IS
bad combination, because the ment
heat is more dangerous than the phy
ical =,
The best way to save yourself u
heat is to forget 1t. Smile and co
off
And. whatever you do, if you mu
put on a hot weather face, keep 1t
yourself. Don't put it into circulation

PLAIN WORDS TO A YOUNG MA

PLAIN 'WOkDS ~ - AN~
Young fellow!
The girl who works at your side
If you don't watch out-will forge
ahead of you.
Honest, now
Girls are steadier, as a rule, than
BOYS. They are more dependaoie'
They do their work in better form
They are prompt and neat. They
can be trusted. They do not LOAF
They are conscientious. They are ac-
commodating. They are pleasant III
their ways.
The girls do not smoke.
They do not drink.
They do not gamble.
In plain words, the moral character
of girls, partly because society holus
them to a severe standard, IS hlghel
than that of boys, as a rule. Is II 10
so?
Many young man thinks character
,s on unimportant factor in business.
Don't you make that error
You cannot. must not, indulge Dat
