ONE QUESTION ALWAYS ASKED
Employer Of Labor Wants to Know
If Formation Of Jaw Is Natural
err Acquired.

There is one question l always ask
a man who wants a job" remarked
the business man who has to hire
several hundred men for different po-
sitions each year.
The question / always ask them
is: DO you smoke a pipe much? VI
course the answers are various. Some
of-them smoke a pipe a great deal and
others not at all. Some smoke Gig
arettes, although I seldom can get a
ma to admit it. There seems to be a
general guilty feeling when a man is a
cigarette smoker. Some OF them
smoke cigars. My business is such
that 1t makes very little difference to
their availability to me no matter
what they smoke.
why do | ask about the pipe? Well,
not that | have the least interest IN

mater. The reason is that | want to

he does not smoke a pipe his square
jaw, back neal where it hinges on to
the upper one, is natural. Ii he is a
pipe smoker the looks are deceiving,
and have to judge his caliber some
other way.
Pipe smokers always have strong
muscles back ON the face about the
place a man stops when he makes the
first stroke downward in shaving
These are the muscles that hold the
jaws together. They often give a
square,jawed effect to a man who
hasn't any square-jaW characteristics.

ARE WORTH ONE CENT ApIEcE.
Seeds Of the Ginseng Command That
Price and They Are Scarce
at That.

Ginseng seeds are worth one cent
apiece or from eighty to one hundred
dollars a pound. Died root is WORTH
1925 a pound.
When first growing from the seed
the ginseng plants have two forks or
stalks and one leaf on each stalk.
The second year it adds another leaf
on each part and the third year the
plant grows in three parts with three
leaves on each part and this year a
seed ball forms.
This grows direct from the main
stalk of the plant and from four to
five inches above the foliage. The av.
erage plant, says a writer in Outing.

sometimes goes as high as 100 seeds.

The fourth and fifth years one leaf
is added to each stalk. The fifth year
the plant is full grown, having three
forks and five leaves to each stalk. 1t
grows from one to two feet in height;
sometimes as high as 81 inches. The
leaves arc broad and fiat, about four
inches long and two inches wide when
full grown, with escalloped edges.
1t takes five years to grow the root
from seed for market and Is months
to terminate the seed for growth.
There is more cultivated root now on
the market than wild. The plants are

VERDICT NOWHERE IN SIGHT.
CoIored Jurymen Had Done Their
Best, But Thing Sought For Was
Not In Evidence.

A lawyer from New Orleans tells
the story about a jury trail in a little
obscure village somewhere In Lou
isiana: "Of course, strange as it may
seem, the jury in this trial was made
up entirely of negroes. 1t seems that
all the available white men were eth
er at work or had gone hunting or
fishing. And, anyway, it being a case
of n negro charged with stealing
from another, the interest of the white
people of the place, of whom there
was a conspicuous minority, was not
sufficiently involved for it to make any
difference.
when the evidence was all in ant
the prosecuting attorney, a white man
of course, had submitted the cas-
without argument, the accused, for
tunately, had no c~ounsel-the judge
also q white man, ordered the jury
which could not agree in the box, t.
retire to an adjoining room and fin
a verdict,
"The jury retired. At last the juty
could stand it 10 longer, and went il
person to the room to see what wa
delaying the verdict. He found eac'
of the jurymen crawling around on tn
floor peering under chairs and tables
and also into corners. The court Wa
amazed. He did not know whether til
whole jury had gone crazy or wha
was the matter.
