FIXED UP PAPA'S MATTRESS
Little Elizabeth Did q Good Job, But
He Didn't Seem to Appre-
eiate II.

Elizabeth" said Mr.. Jones to his
ten-year-old daughter, ''the mattress
on my bed needs punching up; it's
like bowl and l always roll down
into the middle. If you'll fix it up
nice I'll give you quarter"
The bait was alluring, and Eliza
beth worked hard. ripping open the
mattress and making it's contents as
fluffy as she could. But she found 1t
a hard task. Then an idea came. She
repaired to the back yard and picked
up half dozen tomato cans. These
she placed upright on the spiral
springs.
Sure enough. when the mattress
was placed on the springs 1t looked
fine and 1t was with pleased express
sion that Elizabeth reported her task
done when her father returned in the
evening.
Here's the quarter" said the faith
er, and Elizabeth and her two smaller
sisters straightway repaired to the
nearest ice cream parlor to spend it.
After the girls were fast asleep
they heard a series of noises from
their fathers room. He had just re-
tired and had discovered the tomato
cans. The girls, listening, heard
some language that was impatient, to
say the least, ano then heard a series
OF rattling sounds as the cans were
thrown onto the floor. Then 1t be-
came quieter.
Next morning Elizabeth was not
complimented on her work. Instead
the father had a few words to say
about foolish little girls.
But the three sisters, having had
their ice cream, didn't care as much,
perhaps, as they should.

YOUR WEIGHT AND HEALTH
Better Be Over the Average When
Young ard Under When Old,
Say Insurance Men.

AT the annual meeting of the AS
sociation of Life Insurance Directors
some facts were brought out in re-
gard to the best build of men and
women from the insurance man 6
point of view.
In the New York Life Insurance
company efforts have been going on
for many years to determine the eX-
act influence of build on longevity,
says the Medical Record. 1t is sug-
gested that mistake has been made
of any age is the most favorable
build that that age or the build from
which it may be expected the most
favorable mortality will be sustained.
For instance, figures show that at
the age of twenty all risks from "a
per cent overweight to 10 per cent.
underweight are better than average
risks. Does 1t not then seem prob
able that the point of most favorable
build is about half way from "a per
cent overweight to 10 per cent. under
weight, or in the neighborhood of
I per cent overweight? II this in
ference Is correct the tables now
used are too favorable to the under
weights by about Z per cent.
At age sixty, on the other hand,
the super-standard risks begin at about
8 per cent overweight and extend to
about % per cent. underweight. The
mean point between these extremities
lies at about per cent. underweight
and the conclusion appears evident
that the present table based on
average weights is too high by about
Z per cent. At the intermediate ages,
80 to So the mean point lies not at
the zero but on the heavyweight side
of the zero at the age Of thirty and
at the lightweight side Of the zero
at the age of fifty, and only at the
age of 40 is the table apparently cor
rect.

CHARACTERS OUT OF SCRAPS
1hackeray's Personaoes Were Patch

Portraits Of Actual Persons.

Thackeray rarely drew an out and
out portrait, though he sometimes ven
tured on a recognizable caricature of
people he detested. In Roundabout
Paper" called DE F'inibus" he asserts
that he creates his personages out of
scraps. heeltaps, odds and ends of
characters" Lady Anne Thackeray
Richie corroborates this. my father"
she writes in answer to private re-
quest for information. scarcely ever
put real characters into his books,
though he, of course, found sugges-
tions among the people with whom he
was thrown. l have always 'thougSt
there was something of himself as
Warrington. Perhaps the serious part
of his nature was vaguely drawn in
that character. There was also little
likeness to his friend, Edward Fitz-
|. geral who always lived very soli
tary life"
Warrington, indeed, may be taken
as typical instance Of how Thackeray
made up his own personages out Of
odds and ends of characters" In the
circumstances of his life Fitzgerald
was the closest of all prototypes that
have been suggested. Like Warning
ton, he had married beneath him,
though not SO far beneath as Warning
ton; he had found his wife utterly un-
congenial and had left her in comfort
able circum stances to make his own
way in London in poverty and OBJ
scurity. To add the final touch OF
pathos, Thackeray painted Warning
,r-sf 40 m
which Mrs. Fitzgerald was not, but
only very foolish and snobbish one.
Besides the originals already sug-
Igested, James T. Field hints at
fourth in Barry Cornwall. and Gen.
James Grant Wilson says Thackeray
told Philadelphian that Warrington
was an English professor OF Latin
William S. Walsh. in Columbian.

We are ~ferninstr any approDria-
tion 6or a state fair al this time. The
state already has many institutions
10 take care of and money is needed
for their Development. The legisla-
tire should keep down appropriations
to the lowest limit consistent with the
welfare OF the state and should go
very slowly about creating new insti-
tutions.
We have a very creditable state fair
at Oklahoma City and SO far it has not
cost the state a cent The people Of
Oklahoma City have invested a large
sum OF money in the fair and We see
10 reason why it should be taken from
them.
We are told that Muskogee claims
the right to have state fair by rea-
son OF some sort OF trade that was
made when the capital proposition was
pending before the legislature. How
ever, we have not learned that the
people Of Oklahoma ever authorized
anybody to enter into the deal and
without such authority the contract
If it was ever made, cannot be taken
seriously.
The steam roller se9ms to have
made quick work Of the fair bill in the
house, but 1t struck snag when Il
reached the senate. Our state senate
is acquiring a reputation for being 3
