LONG HEAD AND ROUND HEAD
Thought inspired by Observations
on Two Glasses Of Boys In
City School.

There are men today who in fancy,
at least, are navigating the air, and
the most ingenious machines have
been built. That dream will be real
lied and the air will be filled with
human birds. What lacks today is
not counsel, but only sufficient power.
Go into the schools Of the city and
you win see there two classes of boys.
There is the long-headed boy, who
gives promise of thought and inven-
tion. He sits long over his books and
far-away look He is the seer. And
by his side there sits the road-headed
boy. Pick him out for action. He is
into all kinds of mischief and cares
less for books than for play. But he
will grow up to be the executive of
his country. He will be the soldier.
He may not be the statesman, but he
can be the politician and will bring
things to pass. The same difference
may be found among the girls, for
every home has its Mary, who sits and
learns, and its Martha, who is cum
bered with much serving"
This condition is essentially human.
Some are giants in thought and others
are giants in action. But why cannot
we do all that we plan?
Well, we are feeble in action be-
cause of the uncertainty of human
life. This little moment of three-score
and ten is not long enough to do very
much, a writer In the Christian World
says.
We begin as children. Have you
watched the child with his blocks and
toys? AS he rocks his hobby horse
he thinks he is securing the plain and
he encourages his toy with his infant
chirrup. He plays at soldier with his
little gun and as he builds his blocks
into house he fancies himself a mas.
ter architect. But If you see that
child in 80 years and he still plays
with the same tops your heart is sad
We expect the child to grow, We
grow ourselves and the plans of the
youth have no place in the thought OF
the man. The boy smiles at the wish
Of the child, the young man smiles al
the boy, maturity smiles at the young
man and old age smiles at us all. Wall
down the street with your child and
observe the objects which attract his
fancy. Go down with him 80 years
after and see how different are his
tastes. And so we walk down life'f
highway and could now doubtless buy
all that we once wished, but they have
no charm for us now. And the plans
that once we formed are today only
matters of amusement.

Trousers Tax In France.


In France women are taxed from
$40 to $3.50 a year for the priv.
lege of wearing mems trousers. This,
however, does not accord to every
woman willing to pay the tax the right
to don such garments. On the con.
trary, the government confers the
right only as tribute to great merit
making 1t, in fact, sort of decora.
ton given to women as the ribbon OF
the Legion of Honor is given to men
The only women to whom has been
granted the right to wear male attire
were George Sand, Rosa Bonheur
Nine. Dieulafoy, the Persian archae
ologist, Nine. Foucalt and the sculp
tors, Mesdames Fourreau and La Jean
cite.
An instance Of the jealous care with
which in France this right has been
guarded was shown in the case Of
Nine. de Valsayre, the lady who, some
years ago became so we'll known by
reason of her propensity for fighting
duels and her endeavors TO get elected
to the French assembly. Her petition
to the government for the right IN
question was refused time and time
again.

A Colonist Of Canaan

The Southwestern flier drew up at

throw out the mail sack, and give the
curly-headed boy in the express car a
chance to call hello to Nell.
