HAD ONE RECENTLY.

The governor of Western state, a
man of wealth, but penurious habits,
walked into a hotel in San Francisco
holding his head high and with swag-
ger in his gait.
The chief clerk, who prided himself
on his extensive acquaintance and
boasted that he never forgot face,
hurried to meet the distinguished Wis
itor.
"Ah, governor" he cried, delighted
to welcome you in our little town.
Turning to the desk, he shouted: "a
room with bath for the governor"
The governor leaned over and whisp
cred in the clerks ear The expression
on the clerks face changed to one o.
intense disappointment; he turned
again to the man at the desk and called
louder than before
mo bath for the governor; the gov

WOMEN THINK FAST AS MEN.

Prof. Hugo Muensterberg, of Har-
ward, declared to 500 students of Car
negie Institute Of Technology today
that women form their opinions and
judgments just as rapidly and accur-
ately as men.
But when they have an opinion
they stick to it, and no amount of dis
cussion can change it," added the
psychologist, says the Pittsburg cor
respondent of the New York Sun.
A group of Harvard men were sub
jects to an experiment. Two black
boards, each containing many white
spots, were used in the tests. Each
group of students was to decide which
blackboard contained more spots, the
right or the left.
The men decided, wrote their de
cisions on paper and announced them
Fifty-one per cent decided upon the
blackboard on the right. The profes
sor allowed them ten minutes of dis
cussion, in which one side attempted
to convince the other of its correct
ness A second vote was taken. In
stead of 81 per cent, rs per cent fay
ored the right blackboard.
