The Football Hero.

There are TWO kinds of football he
roes
One appears in the magazine sto-
ries in November. the other appears
on the field during practise games
The hero in the magazine story is
sent to the bench. or wherever they
send hopeless prospects. during the
early trials of raw material But he
is in love with a beautiful young thing
who has absolute faith in him. In
the story we are deity shown how an
absorbing love for a beauteous crea-
life in the nerves and enable the hero
to be called from the grandstand
when the best player is crippled. so
that the hero may. though utterly out
of training. seize the ball. carry it
around the end. burst through all op-
position, trample upon all the other
eleven, and finally win the game. I'm
mediately he gets up. dusts himself
off, and basks in the ardent gaze OF
the heroine who has inspired him
The other hero is the husky, willing
youth who allows himself to be
kicked and mauled and beaten 10
pulp so that the members of the reg
ular eleven may be fit to meet the
big opponents.
He gets the bulletins of the game
from his cot in a hospital and is

QUICK EYES OF THE WOMEN
They Have Extraordinary Faculty for
Seeing Many Things and Taking
in Every Detail.

Women have the most extraordinary
faculty for seeing great many
things at once. For instance. they will
remember every detail OF a persons
dress, manner, and personal appear
ance. even to the color of the hair
and eyes. after a mere glimpse. This
power is rare with men in general.
though some have cultivated it. The
gift belongs prominently to women,
however, who will often. without eff
fort. take away the most vivid impress
sions of people they have Travelled
with for g short time only and have
never spoken to. or of people they
have met by chance in the street
Women's eyes need to be as keen as
they are kindly In her household
all depends on them Woman is the
first to notice any little rift within
the Lutte of home life. and failure in
the health Of those she loves and has
the care OF. any lapse from the &C
customed, any trouble unexpressed
that is making any one unhappy. More
delicateiy balanced, more sensitive
than man, her nature receives i'm
pressions which to those of differ
ent, perhaps coarser, fiber would sim
ply have no existence. Her intuition
is at times divine.

gently, how clearly, how truthfully
they look out on life How pleasant

homes that dwell in peace and secur-
ity beneath the loving care of a true

Huac'o Practical Side.

1t may not be generally known that
Victor Hugo used to draft the adver-
tisements Of his own books, instead Of
leaving the task to his publishers. His
correspondence with his Belgian pub
fishers gives the following example of
the great novelist's advertising style:
after the middle ages, the present
time Such is the subject Of Victor
Hugo's double study. What he did
for Gothic art in 'Notre Dame de Paris
that he has done for the modern world
in Les Miserables.' The two books
figure in his scheme of work as two
mirrors rejecting the whole human
life" An encouraging example to
