Shot With a Knife.

Years ago in stock performance of
a famous old melodrama, the villain,
Charles Wolcott, suddenly discovered
that he had left his revolver in the
dressing room. In much confusion, he
fumbled in his pocket and found a
penknife which, he figured, would do
just as well for the bloody deed.
Imagine his CONSERVATION when, after
plunging the blade into the hero's
breast, that player failed to change
his lines and screamed at the top Of
his voice: Heaven forgive you! I'm

Those who are condemning Presi-
dent Taft for favoring reciprocity with
Canada seem to have forgotten that
Colonel Roosevelt heartily approved
of the agreement entered into by the
president, and that It was not until
after he became the third term pres
idetial candidate that he opposed it,
says the Wallace Press-Times. On
April %, 1912, in a speech at Boston,
President Taft made this most inter

WOMEN ARE NOT
KNOCK=KNEED

BOSTON, Sept. 1S.-Taking issue
with the Chicago clergyman who says
that women for the most part are
knock-kneed, DR.. Elizabeth Rixey. a
well-known Back Bay physician, is EN-
phatic in her declaration that the de-
formity does not prevail among her sex
in Boston. She says:
All this cutlery about women being
knock-kneed is positively ridiculous
Boston women always have realized
the attractiveness of good figure and
have paid particular attention to see
that their dresses don't confine the
knees. The clinging lines OF our la
test fashions follow the figure closely.
And women don't want to be fiat
chested, round houldered or knock
kneed.
You know" continued DR.. Rixey,
with smile, men keep themselves in
good physical condition to feel well {;
but women only do it to look we'll.
Originally women only cared for their
faces, and it is only within recent years
that Boston women, or women of any
city, are really beginning to see the
value of good all-round development.

lous assumption that she is knock
kneed is equally absurd The average
