Something to Try on Him Who Has .

Surplus Of Self Confidence.
Many things are harder to do than
they at first seem. For your friend
who 10 possessed Of a surplus Of self
confidence propose some Of these seen-
ingly simple but impossible feats:
Ask him to rub his ear with his
elbow.
Ask him to stand with his heels
against the wall and pick handker-
rhief up from the floor.
Ask him to stand. blindfolded. for
i've minutes without moving.
Propose to him that he cannot break
Il match laid across the nail of his mid
lie finger and under his first and third
ingers. He will lie pretty sure to try
his. but all his efforts will prove In
vain.
Ask him to get up from the chair In
which lie is sitting without bending his
body or putting has feet under the
chair.
As.i him to stand at the side of the
room with bo:h feet placed lengthwisa
against the walnscoting.
If he is clever he may possibly be
able to stand up when placed facing
the wall with his feet about two feet
away from it and his head bent for
ward until it touches the wall.

ton.
Senator Kern of Indiana is the only
one of the entire list of notables
whose face is adorned with more
than a mustache. The Indiana states
man sports a carefully trimmed
growth of chin whiSkers that are
