WAS STILL MAUD LILLIAN y
New Head and Body for chlld's Be-
loved Doll, But bair Was
the Same.

With tears in her eyes and large
and very much damaged doll In her
arms, very little girl appeared at
the mending counter Of dolls hos
pital the other day and displayed her
broken treasure. The dolls face was
broken. one arm was completely gone
and one foot was minus all the toes.
The very little girl confided to me
clerk that she wanted dolly MADE
we'll again. Pm afraid 1t won't pc
worth while to fix it" said the clerk.
regarding the new patient dubiously.
"You see there would have to be
new head and new arm and new leg.
really think 1t would be better Tor
you to get new doll"
The tears overran the eyes OF the
very little girl at this suggestion.
But I want her to look like this
doll" she protested. Il love Maud
Lillian too much to have a new doll
in her place. You can get a new
head for her and new body, too. II
YOU like, but want her to have the
same hair that she has now, so she'll
look like her old self"
The toy shop people are used to
carrying out the individual ideas OF
the little mothers Of che dolls, and so
no objection was made to preserving
Maud Lillian's identity by means of
her somewhat crumpled golden locks.
A beautiful new doll of the proper
size was chosen, her glossy new wig
removed and the broken dolls wig
substituted. Newly bewigged in this
fashion and robed in the garments of
the discarded doll, Maud Lillian bore
resemblance TO herself that was
startling, considering the rather ex-
tensive anatomical alterations that
had been made in her. The very lit
tie girl seized her triumphantly and
bore her away, but the onloOker who
had witnessed the operation could
not but wonder in wat Maud Lii
lian's ego really consisted.

NOW A SCHOOL OF coURTsHlP
Chicago College Professor Favors Sci
entific instruction In the "Art Of
Spooning."

Chicago.-At last 1t is here-the per-
fectly scientific courtship. 1t is the
plan of Prof. Robert E. Blount Of the
Waller High school Of Oak Park, who
first proposed 1t at q conference OF the
Child Welfare exhibit.
Il believe said Professor Blount,
in advocating the kissing colleges" in
which the art of spooning" Is to be
taught. that there should be proper
course of instruction. preparing chill.
dren for married life. This instruction
should begin in infancy and continue
through life and youth.
"Courtship should not be left to
chance and the unguided impulses OF
youth" said Professor Blount Nor
Is the guardians duty done when he
has Impressed the importance of the
proprieties on his charges. To this
negative instruction must be added
positive counsel and training.
"Sweethearts need to be alone to.
gether. Their love grows with express
sion. They ought to have opportunity
for their endearments. But they
should be carefully taught the differ
ence between affection and passion.
"Courtship is too important a factor
in life to be dwarfed by undue espion
age. Young people must be prepared
for it by proper training, and then
only after adequate instruction, should
they be provided opportunity for pri
vate meeting"

Alqy Telephones.


Algy staggered into the postoffice
and entered the telephone box. He
was Immediately clad, and in lord
ly humor.
"Hello!" he drawlcd, putting the re-
ceiver to his ear.
A minute passed. He repeated the
summons. His lordly humor began to
descend in rank.
'Hal-lo!" he called.
No response.
"Hallo."
Still no response. His lordly humor
was now as gone as his temper, and
he shouted things into the receiver
which must have made even that ex-
perienced instrument tremb1e.
At last, when the perspiration drib-
bled from his bursting brow. and his
hat was limp, and both he and his Ian
guage were exhausted, notice caught
his eye. It read:
"Give the number you require to
the clerk at the counter. and wait IN
til the connection is made"
He skunk away SO quietly that no
one saw him go.

An excellent way of cleaning lamp
chimneys is to hold the glass over the
spout of a kettle of boiling water until
it becomes well steamed. then polish
with clean dry cloth. and the glass
will be beautifully bright.
When making boiled puddings OF
any kind try putting piece Of creased
paper over the top before the cloth Is
put on. This renders the cloth mucn
easier to wash. and keeps the pudding
nice and firm.

The Antiquity Of Man.

It has been known during . long
time that In western Europe man ex-
listed during the glacial epoch. We
now know that the great ice age CON
sisted of different glacial times sepa-
rated by interglacfal times. In glacial
times the snow line dropped 5000 or
1000 feet below fts present level in
the Alps. whereas In fnterg1acfa1 times
it lay about 1000 feet higher than at
present. Thus the temperature seems
to have been higher In the fntergfacial
periods than it is now.
There Is abundant evidence, in the
opinion of Penck, that man existed du-
ring the beginning of the last glacial
epoch. There is some reason for
thinking that at least 10000 years
have elapsed since the last glaciation
and that the man whose jawbone was
found in 1909 near Heidelberg lived
100000 years Scientific Ameri-

Justice Harlan's Scarab.

II was riding down Pennsylvania
avenue in a car with Justice Harlan
OF the United States Supreme court, "
remarked Charles Francis Bedloe Of
Missouri, and after admiring the fine
old man whose portraits we see in
the capitol l could not help noticing
the fine scarab that he wears as q
scarfpin.
II have looked over the senators
and other members Of the Supreme
court and have not noticed that any
other one Of them wears a scarab pin.
They may have them at home, but
Justice Harlan wears one that would
attract an expert The genuine ones
are becoming rare. and that is why
the Harlan scarfpin would be noticed.
ITO tell the truth, the genuine ones
are scarce enough, so great has been
the demand for them. but the mu-
seums have great collections that will
never be broken up for the sake Of
scarfpins. "-Washington Post.

a number Of the pithy and some.
times humorous sayings OF the cnar-

more bits from Mary Cary's lips and
those of her new friends In Miss Glib

Young people have very different

A Lazy Mans Job.

Tip, since his early wanderings on
the plains, has always said that the
softest lazy mans job on earth was
raising sheep. Sheep are bush feed
ers. They will thrive ON eating any
thing from dead sage-brush to railroad
snow fences. They will tunnel their
muzzles through snow to get stick
underneath for food. OF course they
eat the snow when they get thirsty.
Now Tip learns from an oficial gov
eminent report that an island on the
coast Of Nova Scotia has been a great
success. Not an attendant with food
not a copper cent OF cost to the own.

hard winters those sheep have fat

WILLIAM l.. MAR7ELL
DIED At STATE
PRISON
Negro Convicted of Murder
Here Answers Final Call
of Maker

William H. Martell. convicted in
Grand Forks eight years ago of MUIR
der and sentenced to thirty years i'm
prisonment. died in the state peni-
tertiary at Bismarck this morning.
Paralysis, from which he has been
suffering some time. was responsible
for his demise.
The Martell case was one of unus-
ual interest when 1t was on trial.'in
this city. The evidence was entirely
circumstantial and had it not been for
the act that an eleventh hour witness
was discovered by the prosecution, the
negro murderer v would have
been convicted.
1t was on the night of Sept. IA, 1903
that the murder Of Alfred Nally &C.
CURED The deed was committed at
a point In ar alley neal the Baptist
church between DeMers avenue and
Alpha avenue, a dray stick secured
from a nearby barn being the weapon
that was employed.
The fact that Martell had been seen
with Nally on the plight in question
was n of the features that entered
into his conviction.
Toward the close of the trial a wit
ness was brought forward who had
heard " men engaged in c%onversa-
ton and had heard blows struck, and
his evidence resulted in Martelrs con-
viction.
Robbery had been the motive of the
murder.
