Characteristics of the Breton.

Characteristics of the Breton.
"Bretons are immobile like their
dolmens, rugged like their rocks, gnarl-
ed and knotted like their trees" says
a writer. Nowhere Is the relation be-
tween man and the soil whence he
springs so apparent, so harmonious.
The Breton people are animated
stones: and the stones Of Brittany also
have souls, for there is no more soul
full country than this, and it would
seem to exercise a mystical attraction
on natures responsive its express
I've melancholy. The repeated pres
ence of enigmatic yestiges of secret
past, the piety of the people practic-
ing-or having until quite recently
practiced-rites and putting their faith
in superstitions without discernible
analogy in other civilizations, clearly,
however, displaying affinity in their
art, as also in their physical features,
with Asiatic races-such circumstances
stamp this ocean bound nation with a
mark occult in it's vast significance.
On many sphinx-like Breton face you
will distinguish look which seems to
reach beyond horizons the look of
one who has great problem to reflect

where TO DRAW THE LINE
Gallant Colonel Points Out Danger Of
Too Much PoIiteness on
Occasions,

"A man should always try to be po-
lite to women, except, of course, on
street cars" said Col. Wilbert Wimble
the other day after he had stepped on
pol1ceman's foot in his effort to re-
turn feminine handkerchief. But there
is one thing politeness should never
lead you to do. Never try to pick up
woman's purse for her. If you see a
woman drop her gloves or book or a
parcel, jump for it with all the eager
ness OF a bull pup, and return it to her
In your best manner. You will be re-
Warded with a smile But do not
Jump for her pocketbook. No, sir, do
not. l once made that mistake, but
never again. The owner did not un-
derstand. With the cry of wounded
honess saving her cubs she pounced
upon her property, nearly driving a
hatp1n through the padded bosom of
my frock coat No, you don't!' she hiss
ed. You can't snatch no hard work
Ing woman's purse like that
When you see a woman drop her
money, give yell and spring back
from her about four feat and stand
with your hands up. Then she can
not possibly misunderstood your in

EDUCATION BAD FOR GENIUS
1t Also Seems to Reduce Mental Alert.
ness Of the People, Says Eng.
lish Writer

Widespread education is certainly
unfavorable to the development of &C.
MUS or remarkable talent. Greatness
as 1t were, is put in commission. AS
everyone has little tincture Of talent,
no one is allowed to possess a mo-
nopoly. =
If the loss to the world were only
the obliteration Of genius we might let
1T pass. Perhaps mankind may learn
to do without genius. Perhaps the
mariner by some new trained instinct
for locality may be able to dispense
with compass and lighthouses. But
education seems to be robbing the
masses Of the power to appreciate the
products Of education
The comment is on everyones
tongue that the world of today has but
a languid interest in things of the
mind. There is probably three times
as much effort and hustle and fuss
about education now, proportionately,
as there was 60 years ago. Yet there
was proportionately ten times as much
mental alertness then.

Choosing Wife by Her Voice.

A man has won for his wife a tele-
phone girl whose voice pleased him.
II every unmarried man only realized
1t there is a deal more good common
sense In marrying pretty voice than
In marrying a pretty face. If the
pretty face can have all the accom-.
panying characteristics necessary to
feminine perfection the man who wins
this paragon is quite as lucky as the
girl who wins goodness and wealth
combined in husband. No girl ever
has denied that 1t might be an easy
matter to fall in love with this special
combination, but the men go right on
seeking beauty as the first requisite.
But pleasing voice! Soothing un-
der all circumstances. One can turn
ones back on face not quite up to
the ideal. but who ever gets away
from voice? Leastways every hus-
band claims he cannot get away from
the voice, so why not look for one
with the note of music in it's tones ?

NIGHT WATCHMAN IN BOTTLE
How cracksmen Were Foiled by
Formaldehyde Placed Between
Doors of Bank Vault.

To a bank cashier with q taste for
chemistry is due the credit of
simple yet highly efficient cash pro-
tector and cracksman tanner. Sew
eral years ago Cashier Clark Of the
Corona State bank, South Dakota, hit
upon the idea that if he could place
bottle Of some strong chemical be-
tween the outer and inner doors of
the vaults its fumes might retard the
work of safe breakers or perhaps
frighten them away. A quart bottle
OF formaldehyde was Immediately
given position as a silent night
watchman between the doors OF the
vault.
For about Ave years the "yesg doc
tor" kept unobtrusive guard. Finally
early in November, 1910, the test
came. A couple of professional cracks
men entered the town. Two charges
OF nitroglycerin were used on Cashier
Clark's safe that night. The first one
did little damage, but the second
wrecked both the outer and inner
doors, tore the latter from their
hinges and threw them out into the
vault and against the small safe and
safety deposit boxes. The ''yeggmenp
did not wait to wreck the inner safe.
however, for at the same moment the
'yegg doctor" responded to a hurry
call and the fumes Of a full quart Of
formaldehyde filed the room. Chok-
ing and gasptng, with tears streaming
from their eyes, the criminals scram-
bled out the way they had come in
and left tracks down the peaceful
country highway that fairly sizzled.
For days after the explosion the fumes
Of formaldehyde were so strong that
a person could not breathe In the
