ARE MEN OR WOMEN
Drawer IN FACING DEATH?

How do men and women face death
when the sentence is pronounced by
the doctor? A medical man tells us his
experience.
Tell the man of higher type and
greater intelligence, he says, that he is
facing death and he begins to fight,
demands a consultation, talks about go
| ing to specialists, and fights grimly to
the finish. Tell a woman the same
facts and she lies back to await her
fate. All women are fatalists.
On the other hand, tell a man that
he has one chance in a thousand to re-
cover if he will undergo an operation.
and he will trust to his own strength
and endurance rather than undergo the
knife The woman will choose the
thousandth chance, and submit to the
operation with astounding calmness.
The dying woman thinks first of her
children and her future. The dying
man thinks first of his wife and theE
of his children. And, most remarkable
of all. no matter how destitute man
has been, no matter how untrue he may
have been to his wife, in that supreme
hour when he faces death he seems de-
sirous of righting every wrong he has
done her. She is the object of his so
licitude Hers is the face he wants to
look upon last.
The man thinks always of the ma
terial welfare of his family. He wants
to make sure that his business, his in
surance papers, everything is prepared
for their care and protection.
The woman thinks less of the money
or property she may have to leave her
loved ones than of their care after she
has gone. The property, she thinks, can
take care of itself but who Will help
keep her babies together, who will
make a home for them and their ia
Their?
Unselfshness, strength Of character,
and calmness, these are the unquestion-
able traits of nearly every man or wo-
man face to face with death. Their
last hours, whether seven or one, are
given over unreservedly to those they
love,

Kissed Them All.

A famous statesman prided himself
on his success in campaigning, when
called upon to reach a mans vote
through his family pride. On one of his
tours he passed through a country town
when he came suddenly upon a charm
ing group-a scomely woman with a
bevy of little ones about her-in a gar
den. He stopped short, then advanced
and leaned on the front gate.
Madam" he said, in his most ingra-
tiating way, may kiss these beautiful
children?"
Certainly. sir" the lady answered
demurely.
They are lovely darlings," said the
campaigner, after he had finished the
eleventh. Il have seldom seen more
beautiful babies. Are they all yours,
marm?''
The lady blushed deeply.
''Of course they are-the sweet little
treasures" he went on. From whom
else, marin, could they have inherited
these limpid eyes, those rosk cheeks,
these profuse curls, these comedy fig
ures and these musical voices?"
The lady continued blushing.

TO A YOUNG GIRL.

Dear, you are grave and silent as you
look
Up from the quiet pages of your book.
Put up your care.
Bright is the sunlight falling on your
hair.
Has some old legend told its ancient
woe?
Nay, it was lives ago.
Grieve not, but let your gladness lightly
In happy ripples, glancing in the SUM-
If you but knew
l see the morning of the world in you.
1 see life upward springing,
Light around you clinging.
And in your eyes the dew.
And if into our fair compani lnShip
Out of the pages of this tale should
slip
Some hint of sadness-put the story by.
Lo, let them pass, world-weery queens
and kings.
Rise, rise rejoicing, like the lark that
sings,
Cleaving the misty sky.

INGENIOUS Johnny.

Mother had a bright red apple, which
she wished to give to the children, al
the same time teaching the little broth
er lesson in generosity. Johnny had a
peculiar fondness for apples.
Calling him to her side, she said
Now, dear, mamma has a NICE rosy
apple to give you, and she wants you TO
be generous" That word was not in
Johnny's vocabulary, so he said: Nam
ma, what do you mean by being gener-
ous?"
"Oh, dear. that means you are to di-
vide the apple into two parts and give
sister the larger.
Johnny was silent. Suddenly his face
frightened as he handed the apple again
to his mother, saying: Mamma give IT
to sister and tell her to be generous"

Wise Horses.

Friends of domestic animals, who study
their dispositions and characteristics, are
often called nowadays Mature takers
by their unsympathetic critics. Probably
these same critics consign all animal
stories to the waste basket and smile in
tolerantly at the ''foolishness'' of the mar
rator. But an interesting story of the
sagacity of horses comes from a town
in France. The chargers of a squadron
of dragons were taking a bath in the
river, and the troopers were looking on
Suddenly some thirty of them rushed to
the bank, and, ere they could be stopped
dragons went in search of the fugitives
At last they gave up in despair and re-

got back to the stables and were in their
own stalls without so much as a scratch
