What every woman (thinks she) knows: That she looks well in pajamas.
 A woman can look extremely at tractive when she is taking down her hair-if she has some.
 A woman must be mighty independ- ent or mighty careless to wear black stockings with tan shoes on a muddy day.
 What every man expects: That be- fore the close of 1909 women will be wearing corsets that reach below their knees.
 Ever notice how unruly those wisps of hair around woman's neck are when she has a handsome assortment of finger rings?
 When you hear a married woman snif1y remark that Handsome is as handsome does" you may accept it as a cinch that her husband bears a strik- ing resemblance to q stranded dogfish
 When the relationship between hus- band and wife reaches such a matter of-fact stage that she will pencil her eyebrows and daub on the rouge right before him, there isn't enough glamor left of the conjugality to blind any body with its glare.

Mir. Taft was the guest of MT. Roose- welt in the White House for the twen- ty-four hours preceding his inaugura- ton as President Thursday, March f It would be rash to say that the social friendliness thus betokened between an outgoing and incoming President is unique, yet 1t certainly is unusual. Thomas Jefferson. for example whc was promoted to the presidency from the vice presidency. did not even gc from the White House to the Capitol but walked from his boarding house ac- companied by company of Virginia artillery. President Adams not only was not present at the simple cere monies of inauguration. but was not in
 Washington. He had left the city early in the morning on his way back to his Massachusetts home. The unfriendli- ness of Adams and Jefferson was as notable as the friendliness of Roosevelt and Taft. For an example of closeness of relation similar to that which now exists between the retiring and incom- ing Presidents, one must go back to the time of Jackson and Van Buren. Gen eral Jackson and his successor rode from the White House together in q phaeton drawn by four gray horses and attended by military escort. Jackson sat uncovered on the platform while Van Buren delivered his inaugural ad dress and took the oath of office. The recent custom, whether the two men are friendly or not, has been for the new President to go to the White House at eleven o'clock on March 4. and drive to the Capitol with the out going President. escorted by militar! companies and political clubs. The obligation of official courtesy Is respect ed, even though the men may not have been previously acquainted. or though they may belong to different parties | Mir. Cleveland acted as the personal escort to his successor. MT. Harrison In 1SS9; and in 1893 MT. Harrison ap- peared in the same capacity with Mir | Cleveland.

 ''Is there any one can say I should let my wife and children want for things they need in order that I can preach the gospel to others? My duty is at home first. For this reason I am leaving the ministry"
 The resignation of his charge in or der to make money by Rev. Ferdinand $. Rockwell has stirred the Chicago church world. All the ministers of the city were discussing 1t. The majority did not hesitate to condemn ill severe terms the giving up of preaching the word of God for mercenary purposes. Others believed that any man had moral right to leave the pulpit for the automobile business or any other busi- ness if he wished to better himself financially.
 Rev. Rockwell is 35 years old and has been in the ministry twelve years. He has been remarkab ble as a money raiser and litter of mortgages from churches. His entry into the ministry was at Fennville, Mich. having been engaged previously in business in Can ada.

THE ONLY VICTIMS.
NONOON@OO~

West Africa is known to all navi- gators for its few harbors and its heavy surf, which at certain seasons rages like battle, defying the white man who would approach its shores The author of "The Jungle Folk of Africa" R. H. Milligan, tells of a suc- cessful, and to the observers an anus ing, effort to reach shore at a point where the surf did not seem to be i'm passable.
 One day, when the beach seemed much better than usual, the captain and the ships surgeon ventured ashore. The captain afterward narrat- ed the adventure of their landing to small but enthusiastic audience. He surf half an hour the head man sud denly gave the order, and inga moment they were in the breakers, riding on the top of one of them, and speeding toward the shore at the rate of seven ty miles an hour"
 The captain was in the bow of the boat, well braced and cushioned. But when the boa struck the beach with the force of a railway collision the doctor was thrown violently over two thwarts into the captains bosom, whom he clasped about the neck with a steel like grip.
 The next moment another breaker picked the boat up and hurled 1t upon the beach, throwing both captain and doctor to a perfectly safe distance. where they sprawled upon the sand The doctor, still hugging the captains neck, and very much frightened, ex- claimed:
 70 captain, dear captain, is there anybody killed but you and me?"

"I suppose all the folks are tickled 10 death? said the intimate friend. "l guess they had concluded that you were going to be a confirmed old bach elor"
 ''I don't know what they had con- cluded." replied the lucky dog, but l do know that they aren't wildly enthu- siastic about 1t. Mother isn't, the girls aren't and Aunt Seraphine sniffs when ever anybody speaks about it. She's got the most eloquent sniff you ever hcald".
 What seems to be the trouble??' asked the intimate friend.
 "Annabel, chiefly answered the lucky dog. ''They haven't any objec- ton to my marrying and they'd just as soon it would be Annabel as any body else if she were only another kind of person. They all admit that she has her points, but she's so deficient in so many other respects, according to their ideas. They're going to try to like her. but they feel it's going to be a good deal of strain on them. Fun ny. isn't 1t? It came awful easy to me-"
 Whats your mothers objection to herr"
 Mother thinks she isn't good enough for me She had set her heart on some body altogether different She thinks Annabel's extravagant. and she wishes she was more domestic in her tastes. She says matrimony is very serious matter"
 Isn't Annabel domestic?"
 "I never asked her." replied the lucky dog. Do you think I should have done so? Honest, though, I don't care whether she is or not. If we find we can't keep house we can always board. It's my private opinion that Annabel can do anything she wants to-. I taught her to cast as we'll as I can myself in less than a week last sum- mer. and you ought to see the game of billiards she plays. She's a wonder. Do you mean to tell me girl like that couldn't learn to make measly loaf of bread if she set out to do so? You bet your sweet life she can!'
 Flow about extravaganceY
 That's the way I like 'em," said the lucky log Whats the use of making money if you haven't got a ca pablo wife to spend it for you? Of coarse, I'm a fairly good single-handed spendthrift, but I'm not in the same class as Annabel. My work is coarse. Shes an artist. I can get more satis- faction watching her scatter the coin than l can doing it myself, so I'm go- ing to let her attend that part of the business

 T leave the ministry for money. I cannot afford to preach the gospel. I am too poor. This may sound like a startling statement from a preacher, but l want to tell the facts''
 Thus spoke Rev. Ferdinand S. Rockwell, organizer and pastor of Sheridan Park NJ. E. Church, Chicago, the other day in closing an interview with Bishop William F. Mcdowell. He has given up the ministry for the au- tomobile business.
 1I have been offered the manage ment of the New England office of a company" added Mr. Rockwell. "and I have decided to take it. Preaching the gospel does not pay. If I were a wealthy man I would stay in the mln- fstry. But I am not. I am poor and l have to make money. I am now making $2,500 a year. I cannot live on it and keep my family as it should live, or maintain the style that I feel a minister's family should maintain.

The fixing of passenger rates by di- rect action of the State Legislatures of O number of Western and a few East ern States two years agowas recognized at the time as not the wisest course of procedure. Careful investigations by competent commissions ought always to precede action of that character in order that the facts might be fully as- certained and no injustice done, and, 1t may be added, also in order that the action when taken might not be subject to overthrow by the courts as unreasonable Nevertheless, 1t has been 0 matter of great interest to discover after the event what should have been more accurately determined in advance whether namely. the 2-cent passen- ger fare actually means loss to the roads forced tn accept 1t. IK the case of Missouri figures are now published by the State Railroad Commission which shcw that as whole passenger earnings iDc-eased in that State in 1908 over 1907. The Santa Fe road, for instance. showed a gain oe $6S7.74 per mile oD Missouri passenger husi- ness. or about 19 per cent. The Mis- souri Pacific showed a gain of $1 ,Oo227 per mile, or 60 per cent. Two othec roads showed light gains and three showed losses. The interpretation of these figures by the railroad companies

What objection do your sisters maker" asked the intimate friend
 Henrietta says she hasn't any ideals-high ideals. She doesn't think Annabel's at all intellectual. Annabel says she thinks six foot one and half is high ideal enough for any girl. l thought that was pretty good-whatf Maud takes mothers view. Aunt Sera- phine thinks Annabel's giddy."
 "She may get over It."
 "Annabel or Aunt Seraphine?' asked the lucky dog "I hope Annabel won't. If she does she won't be Annabel. and I think that would be real mis- fortune. But wouldn't all that jar you? Here's me! Look at me. You domestic, idealistic, metaphysical, eco nomical, pensive pasty paragon? What would she want with me? No, sir, I've got a mighty odd good-looking girl who knows how to put clothes on herself and fiirt and play tennis and golf. She can pick a banjo and dance and sing and almost anything is good enough joke to laugh at with her. She's a level-headed little woman, too, when you get down to cases and don't you lose sight of that. If she isn't good enough for me what would you recom- mend?"
 Tt certainly is funny how they are, :" remarked the intimate friend, ambigu- ously-Chicago Daily News.

The Pedigree of the shirt.

Why does the being we call a gen tleman" wear around his neck a band of spotless whiteness and unbearable stiffness. at his wrists similar instru- ments of torture and before his chSst a rigidly starched linen plate? No one outside of a madhouse would call these articles of apparel agreeable. There is for the custom no reason at all drawn from comfort, hygiene or use fulness. There is, however, the ghost of a dead reason. Once upon time a gentleman" was presumed to do no work, and he dressed to show this by putting on these visible signs that he never soiled his hands, sweated his neck or bent his noble back. It mat ters not that we no longer believe in this definition of a gentleman. We did believe once. Its ghost rules on. No man is bold enough to appear in society without this impossible har- ness. Only a professional humorist like Mark Twain or some one who wishes to pose as a mild lunatic dares rebel.
