SHARPENING A PENCIL.

Character.
No woman should marry a man till
she has seen him sharpen a lead pen
ell. She can tell by the way he does
it whether he is suited to her or not.
Here are few infallible rules for
her guidance in the matter:
The man who holds the point to
ward him and close up against his
shirt front is slow and likes to have
secrets. Re is the kind Of man who,
when the dearest girl in the world
finds out that there are 'others" and
asks him who they are and what he
means by calling on them, will assume
an air of excessive dignity.
The man who holds the pencil out
at arms length and whittles away at
it, hit or miss, Is impulsive, jolly,
good-natured and generous.
He who leaves a blunt point Is dull
and plodding, and will never amount
to much. He is really good natured,
but finds his chief pleasures in the
commonplace things of life.
He who sharpens his pencil an inch
or more from the point is high strung
and imaginative and subject to exu-
berant flights of fancy. He will al
ways be seeking to mount upward and
accomplish things in the higher re-
gions of business and art, and his
wife's greatest trouble will be to hold
him down to earth and prevent his
flying off altogether on tangent.
The man who sharpens his pencil
all around smoothly and evenly, as
though 1t was planed off in an auto
matte sharpener, is systematic and
slow to anger, but he is so undertaking
from fixed principle that he would
drive a woman with a sensitive tenn
permanent to distraction in less than
six months. On the contrary, he who
jumps in and leaves the sharpened
wood as jagged as saw teeth around
the top has nasty temper and will
spank the baby on the slightest provo
cation.
The man who doesn't stop to polish
the point Of lead once the wood is cut
away has a streak Of coarseness in his
nature.
He who shaves off the lead till toe
point is like a needle is refined, Coli
cate and sensitive. He will not bo
likely to accomplish so much as his
more common brother, but he VIII

a good man to tie to.-New York Press

Painful Memories.

The best man thought he'd take Il

would wish it, and up in the room
where the presents were displayed,
alone and unhappy looking, he came

beat his breast" lie was wandering
about, looking at silver, and cut glass
without seeing them, and the best man

He Knew Their Secrets.

Bishop Donahue, of Wheeling, w.
Va, is a very conservative prelate. He
shares the views of many other bishops
in his communion concerning secret so
cleties, and as a consequence, when the
Knights of Columbus was organized in
his diocese, he was rather chary in af-
fording them official recognition. Final
ly, he became convinced that the order
was not inimical to Church or state,
and as a proof of his satisfaction tt
tended one Of their annual gatherings
A member of the order attempted to
twit him on his skepticism, and he
promptly retorted:
"You young men imagine that you
belong to n secret society; but you are
very much deceived. have. been up

There Is a sort of woman whom all
women despise and most men adore,
and that is the bit of fluff who can't
do anything for herself-when there Is
a man around.
She Is not always a pretty woman.
If she were, women would forgive her.
She is not always little woman. If
she were, women could stand her.
But sometimes she is old and big and
fat-but- helpless. Helpless, too, In
maddening ways. She can't get up a
flight of steps alone, or over a muddy
crossing. She never can swim, so she
requires all the men on the beach to
pull her up when she falls down in
the water. Then she generally weeps
and does kittenish things that make
other women long to slap her.
The men may regard her as a null
sance, but they bear with her and wait
on her until self-respecting women, who
can tie their own shoe laces and button
their own gloves without calling out
the fire department, wonder if it pays
to be self-reliant and strong.
Did you ever take the trouble to
watch one of these women? A small,
rather pretty woman, mean, who was

has to. But wait until the mouse

tells her will resolve itself into man
Presto! Both her shoe laces come un

everything in sight becomes unbuttOned
Yes, said everything in sight.
The man appears, and no matter how
much the other women may want him

her timid, upward glances tell him oI
his strength and bigness and viking
like qualities Of mind and soul ant

Meantime the properly hooked and
buttoned women have to stand around
and grit their teeth and make up their
minds never to be caught again with
everything done. They register vow
that If 1t Is as easy as 1t looks they
will come undone somewhere and make
man tie 'em up.
Oh, the motor wells which have to be
kept in place-by man for the help,
less woman! The way she can stumble
over her own feet, If there are no rocks
handy, and the fool way the men fall
into her traps!
Helpless women are regular man
snares.
They ought to be regulated by the po

another good feature. 1t makes a con.
venient entrance to the kitchen as
well as to the cellar. A grade en-
trance costs but little when building
and 1t is a convenience as long as the
house Is occupied. A house as large
as this needs furnace, and this grade
entrance is worth a good deal Just to
get In wood, kindling, etc, and to get
the ashes out as they accumulate. An
easy entrance to the cellar is an In
ducement to keep the cellar in good
order. while an awkward cellarway Is
a producer of litter because the
temptation is strong to pile up the
ashes instead of carrying them out.
Building the kitchen, the toilet
down stairs and bathroom upstairs all
close together is money-saving ar
rangement, saving in time, in plumb
ing materials and ii is better alto
gether because the connections, angles
and lengths of pipe all work to ad-
vantage. In selecting house plan It
pays to look into all these little do
tails. Every foot of pipe costs money
and a doubtful connection is likely to
make trouble at any time. Owners OF
houses are not supposed to be exports

always like to see front hall and
front stairway, because 1t is the most
satisfactory entrance to house both
upstairs and down. In this hall there
is seat by the side of the STAIR
which adds TO the appearance. and
there is good closet for coats which
is a great convenience. There Is room
in this house for large family. as It
contains five bedrooms and the liv-
ing rooms are quite large. 1t is twenty
eight feet six inches wide by forty
three feet long, exclusive OF the front
porch. While prices of labor and build.
ing material vary In different parts OF
the country and IL is difficult to make
a satisfactory estimate it may be said
that house like this should be huilt
complete for $4,000, where conditions
are all favorable.

This is a wooden house built on the
story and n half plan, having four
rooms down stairs and four rooms on
the second floor. One feature about
this house that will strike every WON
an fayorably at the very start is the
amount of closet room. A great many
good sized houses are not convenient
because they lack proper storage.
Clothing and other accessories and
necessities accumulate with the
years and IL is necessary to have
some place to put extra things when
they are not In use.
A woman used to consider herself
lucky If she had one clothes closet, or
clothes press, as II used to be called
In New England. In fact the word
press was quite expressive, because
such accommodations were usually
made movable and they were so small
that when woman hung up three
dresses she had to press the door
shut, II she ever got 1t shut; but
builders of houses have grown liberal
with advancing years until now the
best architects can make plans with
accommodations of this kind without
the slightest twinge of conscience.
Some plans lend themselves better
to a suitable supply OF closets than
other houses that are equally roomy.
In this case advantage Is taken Of the
low space under the roof near the
caves. Closets built like this have
sufficient head room to get inside at
the door and the sloping wall offers an
advantage to hang things on because
you have one set of hooks over an
other set and the articles will hang
free, SO this waste room when worked
into clothes closets is an actual ad-
vantage, in fact 1t is great inven-

The frog made jump. 1t was fair

"Eben put his jumping frog on the
ground and waited to see It give three
joyous leaps. Instead of jumping the
frog gave little culver and then
rolled over on his side. Eben triel to
stir him up with stick, but the frog
was beyond stirring, In his anxiety
about his pet Eben forgot 1t was sort

And the rest of the crowd seemed to
