TOLD BY THE THUMB.
One Way, So They Say, Of Reading q
Persons Character,

One Way, So They Say, Of Reading q
Persons Character.
The closer the thumb is set to the
wrist. the greater the amount Of amia-
BILE qualities person possesses. And.
conversely, the higher on the hand the
thumb is set. the lower the order Of his
mental and moral makeup.
Monkeys thumbs abut from the hand
at point close to the fingers. The
closer to this formation a human being
comes the more monkey-like intelli-
gence and character he is apt to have.
A thumb set very close to the wrist
shows sympathy for all in distress,
great generosity, independence, love Of
liberty for self and others and readi-
ness to share with the unfortunate.
When the second phalanx Of the
thumb is much longer than the nail
phalanx. there Is a discordant relation
between reason and win.
Reason preponderates to such an ex-
tent that the entire life Is spent in
planning what to do without ever do
ing.
A person Of this kind sees clearly
what is best for him, but lacks de-
termination to put 1t into execution.
He sees the goal and the steps neces-
sary for attaining 1t. but in the same
glance he takes In all the obstacles.
and while he is pondering the matter
the opportunity to win success escapes.

DR.. HALE ON
W0MAN'S WORK.

In his Monthly Talk" in the
Woman's Home Companion DR.. Ed
ward Everett Hale says:
Twill you please remember that the
bottom rock of American success is the
habit of determining that every place,
village, town, neighborhood, or what
ever you call 1t, shall have home rule.
If I and Mr.. Goodchild want to have a
road and a bridge which shall go back
to the rhododendron swamp, we build
the road and we build the bridge with
such help as we can get from Mrs.
Tucker or from Mr.. Champlin and we
do not write to a sub-prefect who writes
to a project who writes to an assistant
commandant who writes to another
commandant who writes to an intendent
who writes to a secretary or engineer
who sends word to us from the seat of
government whether we may build the
bridge and how we may build it. Lift
where you stand expresses the founda-
ton principle, the subsoil, the hard pan,
the bed rock of American life.
Nov, a very queer thing has de-
veloped in the evolution of this prln-
ciple. 1t has proved that where the
men of the country have been too busy,
or have thought they were, to attend to
their own ~aaffirs, the women have been
able to attend to them better thar the
men do.
Take this business which I have re-
ferred to of a neighborhood library,
feeding a region of not more than four
or five thousand people. The affairs of
that library, If. they are we'll conducted,
are conducted by the women of the
neighborhood. They know what their
children want, they know what their
husbands need. And it is very fortunate
for the neighborhood and the library
that they can harness the horses and
can drive themselves to the meetings of
trustees and select the books and tell
Miss Dorcas how many she may buy"

Talk about consideration TOT women

It means.
A young Newark woman who Is en-
ployed in an office in New YORK was
returning from business the other even
ing during what is called by many the

the river she stood outside to get the
benefit of the fresh air. which came
in pleasing contrast to the sitting
atmosphere of her office. AS the boat
bumped into the slip the passengers
crowded behind her, almost pushing
her over the little lattice gate which
separated her from a tumble into the
water.
When the gang plank was fastened
into place and the gate was opened

she lost her balance and stumbled for

she was trampled on pretty severely,

Women and Men.

Yet a woman is every bit as much
Impressed by the meaning of an oath
as is a man. Only in thinking of the
oath she also thinks Nof It's conse-
uuences, where a man does not. He
thinks, "Well 1 had to take my oath
so-ftss~up to me to tell the truth, and
let the poor brute suffer accordingly
And there you are. right back to the
old theory of unselfishness on the part
of woman and It's opposite on the part
of man.
A woman would be willing to bear the
discomfort of having a lie on her con-
science, If she thought someone else
was profting by it, but a man would
not think of the some n else at
all. Women are martyrs by nature,
but men, never, unless made SO by
circumstances.
No woman lies for the sake of lying,
as do some.m men. 1 am not thinking of
little white" lies just now. II she
took an oath, and felt that the truth,
and nothing but the truth. should be
made known, she would not lie, nor
could you make her.
But in every instance you must study
the woman Get to know her, and you
win have little difficulty in determining
her sincerity. Every woman's creed
differs just a little from any other.
WomenA are truth-tellers by nature

One of Whom May Reply
to Him,

PATTERSON, Jan. 13.-The publicity
being given to the presence of two
of the Mormon church in this
city, where they are seeking converts,
is responsible for the announcement
that Hans p. Freeze, a noted cam
paigner against the church of the Lat
ter Day Saints, will come here presently
n endeavor to explode the fallacy of
the Mormon teachings. Mr.. Freeze
came to Paterson on Saturday and ar
ranged to give two lectures.
He first called upon DR.. George G..
Wilding, pastor of the Market Street
Methodist Episcopal Church, and ar
ranged to speak in that edifice on Sun
day evening, January 26, on 1.-THE Nor
non Church in Politics" In this dis
course the speaker tells how Reed
Smoot secured his seat in the United
States Senate and also gives an insight
into the manner in which at least three
of the Western States. notably Utah,
are in the grasp of the Mormons.
Mr.. Freeze was also engaged to ap-
pear at the Second Presbyterian Church
on the morning of January 26. There
he will speak on 1.-THE Inside of Nor
monism."
Mr.. Freeze was born in the Mormon
church.
One of the Mormon elders declared
that he would attend Mr.. Freezes meet
ing and ask permission to reply to him.

PRETTY HAIR ORNAMENTS.

Now that hair ornaments are so gen.
timely favored, let me tell you about
something very dainty and pretty that
they are making just now. 1t is a cres-
cent of rosebuds. either white, red, pink
or yellow, and, by the way, you have no
idea how pretty the last named ones
are. The rosebuds are made of ribbon,
and when each rose is completed, it is
just about the size of a tea rose, or
even smaller. 1t is mounted on a gum
ros stem, while at each end, but not
intermingled with tho flowers, are
punches of green silk or satin rose
leaves. The hair is dressed high n the

CAN YOU AFFORD
CLEAN FOOD?

'"The cat in the crackers and the grocer
who owns the cat are in themselves harm
less, but the nsahitary grocery store indi-
Gated by the one and conducted by the
other is a public nuisance
The Woman's Home Companion is now
conducting a campaign for the clean
grocery and is using the above sentence
together with a picture of a black cat
seated on a lot of crackers as a slogan
of the campaign.
The editors of the Woman's Home Com
panion have been able to show not only
that there is a vast difference in the way
the clean grocer n the unclean grocer
keep their goods and their shops, but
furthermore that the careless grocer sells
inferior goods and charges more for them
in the long run than does the clean grocer
for high-grade products.
Here is the result Of one test a by
one of the editors. The accuracy OF the
result Is backed up by numerous other
EXAMINES:
