Who're Man Are Pretty.

A British Investigator is ungallant
enough TO state that the reason why
women are, as q rule of a beauty not
attained by man lies in the fact that
they are more indolent and not so prone
to exercise their brains as men are.
Intellectual labors and assiduous at
tention to business are, according to
this authority, matters extremely pref
judicial to the development of physical
beauty. In support of his theory this
Briton points to the Zaros, tribe of
British India. Among them, it ap-
pears, women hold the place that in
other countries is pre-empted by men.
The FARO woman manages the affairs
of state, engages in business on her
own account and does not restrict her
self In the narrow field of woman else
where. On the other hand. the faro
man has nothing to do but cook the
meals and look after the children. The
natural result Of all this, says our sci
enlist, is that the men of this singular
tribe are very pretty and the women
unusually plain.

Many Il man is in the same case
with Mr.. Taft. He owes his success
very largely TO his wife.
Mr. Taft frankly admits what many

4Jiate.
The average man is rather vain of
his success and boasts that he is self
made" when as a matter Of fact he is
very much wife made.

to testify, and when they had finished
the old man arose.
He told his story.
He said he was wealthy. but unhap-

who devoted their lives to Gods serv-

He joined the mission.
| Then he took cheap quarters in the
tenement district and each day went
! forth to find poorly clad and poorly
| fed children that he might brighten
| their lives.
If the children needed clothes or
food the old man bought them. Or be
would get a poor boy a bright red
wagon or a little girl a doll or candy.
He freely spent his money to make
the children happy. and he regularly
attended the mission and paid a good
share Of the expenses.
Il am the happiest man in the
world" he was often heard to remark
when he turned in at the close of a
day devoted to buying presents for the
children.
Crazy?
Why, of course. Who but a crazy
man would go about the streets giving
away his money to every little child
he happened to meet?
At least that is the way the insane
commissioners looked at it.
The heirs had little difficulty in prov
ing the sheer insanity Of such an I'M
usual action on the part of man
with money.
And so they took the old man who
had been so happy in helping the chill
dren and shut him up in the county
asylum, where he could not spend the
heirs money.
His mission friends tried hard to get
him out.
Meantime, deprived Of his chiefest
pleasure. the poor old man actually
went insane.

The heirs will get some of their mon

But they never can take out of the
life of the good old man those three
supremely happy years, nor-thank
goodness-can they take away from
the forlorn waits of the street the
dresses and shoes and wagons and
dolls-and the happiness!

HIS LIFE FOR A SMILE.

Chicago. July Flor the smile of a hap
Fpy little child Stephen Kidd, fifty years
aSzd, went to his death. He died from a
fracture Of the skull received in a fall as
he stepped backward into an open stair
way after handing a tiny tot S cents for
candy.
The account goes on to say
While ID front of a candy store Steve
Kidd stopped to play for moment
With a child on the sidewalk He
handed the tot coin and then stepped
back to avoid interference with the
baby game in which the child was en-
gagged.
Kidd neglected to turn as he backed
away and fell into stairway leading
from the sidewalk TO the basement.
dis skull was fractured. and he never
pvegafned consciousness.
Literally. he gave his life for the
camille of little child.
Well
How better could Stephen Kidd have
S1fed2 What finer deed to plead for
him than the last one of his lifeg
After all, was it not better thus to
die, basking in the smile of the inno-
cent child than decorously in his bed
with attendant friends to weep over
him and candles burning?
4 Because
- While the generous impulse was the
last OF his life it was not the first.
That much It is safe to say.
NO doubt his last act was character
fastic of his life. and fine gracious little
avor to the child was merely the last

But the angels say. What good deed

seldom does the grim reaper come to

And that 5 cents?
why, that little coin given to make

more than million.
Was it not good for Stephen Kidd
after City years of mortal life to go
as he did?

He is first sure of his power and
then he connects with it in d way to
get most out of it without hurting the
machine.
A man must do likewise
He must carefully adjust all the
working machinery of his mind and
body so as to produce power. Then
when the big task comes and the
stress is upon him, he throws in the
clutch and makes full speed-and is
careful not to burn up his machine.
And
Just as the chauffeur is sometimes
obliged to change bis clutch from high
to low speed in order to climb a long
hill. so must the man slow up under
dif1culty-but keep going! Once up
the hill, he reverses to high speed.

much. That is why the locomotive
must give way to the electric motor

So of the man who wastes that

man who can use 40 or so per cent of
his power.
Great men know how to use their
power. They get into gear with the
