FALSE IDEAS OF PERFECTION
Absurd Development Of Muscle Has
Little Part in Production Of
Perfect Athlete.

A recent portrait of lumpy ath-
ete, who invites others, and not with
out success, to try his system of
physical development, shows that the
false idea of physical perfection
which obtained for so many years, and
which demanded huge and knobby
muscles of its disciples. has not yet
quite died out This type of manly
perfection. once useful perhaps to
hang armor upon, was thought to pos
sess the sanction of the golden age
OF artistry when the lubberly Farnese
Hercules came to light, to be hailed
as supreme product of the Greeks
We know. 1t now for an example OF
decadent Greek taste, At companion
Of the absurd and sensational Lao
coon. 1t is naught but type Of tho
stroAg man of vaudeville with his
clumsy masses of beef and his brain
of a spoiled child. fit only to push his
awkward dumb bells into the air, an
after lifetime of work by civilized
human being. No less than strength,
are speed and grace demanded OF the
Ideal athletes, likewise a face of re-
flnement and intelligence to tell of
brain within to comprehend art music
and literature, and the ability TO plan
victories either of peace or war. Look
upon the Apollo Belyidere, which en-
bodies the true dreams of health and
mental and physical efficiency. with
its face Of exquisite beauty above a
form whose lines are tranquil poetry,
yet shadow forth their readiness to
start into sinewy vigor when the call
for action comes. Even the Indian,

HIS SYMPATHIES WITH ELK
Somewhat Natural, Since Animal Res
cued Engineer From Extremely
Awkward Position.

A curious story Of adventure comes
from Montana. While a freight train
was lying over at small mountain
station, the engineer borrowed shot,
gun and started out for short hunt
Finding nothing, he was returning to
the train when COW came running at
him. and before he realized his dan
ger, she tossed him Ia the air.
Getting to his feet as quickly as
possible, he lodged behind tree,
and then. to his dismay, found that
tho gun barrel was bent SO as to be
useless, The next ten minutes were
very lively ones, while the cew chased
the engineer round and round the
tree. Just when he was about to sue
cumb from fatigue, an angry snort was
heard, and big elk appeared upon
the scene. head down and prepared
for fight
SO was the COW, and in another mo-
ment the two animals dashed at each
other. The engineer watched the com
bat for few minutes, until prudence
suggested that be should make re-
treat as soon ss he could. He re-
gained the train In safety, and never
know the outcome OF the battle, but
he hopes the elk was the victor.

TACT BETTER THAN COMMAND

LESS criticism and more comrade-
ship, would be helpful maxim for
all homes.
II Is easy enough to be pleasant TO
the casual acquaintance, but the great
difficulty lies in being decent to those
who are devoted to us--to those who
are ever willing to forgive our short
comings. There is no duty above treat
ing your friends courteously and try
ing to illuminate the general monot-
ony of the lives of those you love
In home life tact will succeed often
where command will fal. sugges-
tons will go farther than argument
Direction is 80 much better than die
tation. Criticism Of loved ones Is a
vice that takes possession of one like
stimulant, or a drug, once # Is en-
couraged. 1t may begin in our so
called high moral standard and hatred
of sin. But once 1t becomes habit,
It Is INDUCED in for the satisfaction 1t
gives
An Eden can be ruined by constant
fSult.fnding, seifshness, and with,
holding the words of praise. A para
disc can be created by small kindness

thoughts of those about you.
