MUSTACHES OF ALL SORTS
Wide Variety Noted In That Partlcu
lar Branch Of Mans Facial
adjournment"

A mustache is what you choose to
make it. Almost every man has the
raw materials at his command, and
he can cut them or cuddle them as
he sees fit. Some men beat their
mustaches savagely back into their
upper lips, refusing them growth,
shave them remorselessly once or
twice day and never let a hair of
them see the light of day.
Other men coax and cajole their
mustaches to emerge, pet them, pam
per them, protect them and view the
resultant hirsute effects in the light
of artistic achievements.
But not all mustaches are artistic.
Some are stubby and some are scrag-
ely and some are simply unmowed
hair. Now and again we encounter
a work of superior excellence, an &C
complishment in mustache making, a
feat in facial foliage. - Saturday

GENIUS AND HAIR.

Some inquiring creature has dis
covered that the way to tell genius
is by the hair. True genius, de-
clares this investigator, is marked by
thick, curly, luxuriant hair, brown
or black in color, which never shows
any tendency to get gray before its
time.
According to this classification,
Samson and Absalom we're the prize
packages of intellect in ancient Is
rael, and Julius Caesar was little
better than an idiot. The records do
not seem to bear out this view, but
when facts and fads contradict each
other let facts perish.

WRITING THAT LETTER HOME
Duty That Daughter should Never
Neglect, 10 the Assertion Made
by Newspaper

When a daughter leaves home one
thing she should never neglect, one
thing there is with which no duty
or pleasure should interfere. 1t is
the letter to mother. II is not
enough that she send a postal card :
Every busy. Will write soon"
Mothers letter should be a budget
Of daily, even hourly, happenings. 1t
should be as far as possible a refec-
ton Of every thought and action in
the new surroundings.
Mothers box Of lettersl What a
treasure house Of Lowell How she
guards it How she dreams over it
and cries over It'll
1t is hard for a mother to let
her daughter leave the home nest,
so critical a moment it is in the
latter's life. The daughter should
strive to make the wrench less cruel.
There are hours at home after she
has gone that are happy or dismal
according to whether she is faithful
or careless in mother thought.
Never delay writing the letter
home. 1t is the call supreme. Do
all that you can to please your be-
loved and devoted mother. None
will ever be so appreciative, SO SYM
pathetic, so forgiving, so under
standing. No heart will ever beat
more true.-Chicago Tribune.

ENERGY ALWAYS PRESENT.


Study of the blood furnished the
clew to Julius Robert Mayer for his
discovery of that fundamental law
If physics, the law of conservation
of energy. Mayer observed, while
travelling as a ships surgeon in the
tropics, that the venous blood of his
patients Gin the days when blood
letting was still in general vogue)
was appreciably brighter in color
than in ordinary practice in the
temperate zone. From this he con-
Guided that there was definite rela-
ton between the chemical action go
ing on in the blood and the amount
of work or heat furnished by the
body and thus, following up his
argument point by point, he was
finally led to the conclusion that the
total amount of energy of a given
system is constant, that energy can
neither be created nor destroyed, but
only converted from one form into
another.

"Why, it's so hard to remember

don't think they are Of much use.

Mamma smiled and then rising
from her chair she went over to the
desk and got out a piece of paper
and pencil. Then she wrote: "The
little turkey strutted about the yard
and ate corn half an hour after his

"Why, mummy, how funnyp ex-
claimed Warren when he had read

"He couldn't" replied mamma,
"and yet l have written just what 1

Then she bent down and punctu-

"The little turkey strutted about the

then and there he resolved to learn

DOG TUGS AT BABY CARRIAGE
After It's Out of Water He Jumps
Around Until Satisfied That
It's Empty.

Edwin Main Post relates an incl
dent which demonstrated the remark
able intelligence of one of his Aire-
dale terriers. 1t will be remembered
that Mayor Gaynor recently exhib-
tied an Airedale of Mr.. Posts breed
ing. The dog in question is Empost
Captain Andrew, known as Cappie,
and beloved and petted by every one,
but very fond of small children.
Cappie is very fond of taking a
swim in large pond near Mr.. Posts
house in Babylon, L. l., and the
other day went in from the north
side of the pond for the first time.
When about 100 yards from the
shore he suddenly began to bark, paw
the water and dive under. He kept
this up for SO long a time, refusing
to obey orders to come out, that Mr..
Post finally had to go out to him.
The dog was found trying to pull out
of the mud baby carriage. When
it was taken out on the bank, the dog
made a careful inspection of it, nos
ing it all over, and when he evidently
was satisfied there was no baby in it
he shook the water off his body and
led the way home.
"Some people may say this was
only instinct" said Mr.. Post, "but 1
believe that this action of my dog
showed an intelligence prompted by
a reasoning power"

DOGS ON BASEBALL FIELDS
Writer Throws Out Suggestion for
Which Apparently He Desires
No PecunIary Reward.

A funny case of interest to the
fans at large was decided recently
out in the middle west. According
to the story the Terre Haute club
of the Central league protested a
game played late in June in Fort
Wayne with the local team, because
a Great Dane dog chased Manager
Anderson as he was attempting to
field a ball, and forced him to climb
a fence. Fort Wayne won the con-
test, and though the members Of that
ball club protested that the canine
was not on their payroll, the pro-
test was fled. After due delibera-
ton President Heilbroner Of the
Central league turned down the pro-
test, ruling that the dog did not
cause the loss of the game. If it
were a sure thing that this decision
would hold throughout the country
it might furnish a new line of en-
deavor for some of our foxy little
managers in the major leagues.
Large, husky, able-bodied dogs might
be trained, upon signal, to give chase
to visiting players attempting to re-
cover the ball after long hits and
force them to seek safety in the
bleachers or over the center field
fences. The animals could be taken
upon the fields under the plea that
they were "mascots," and kept on the
players benches until such times as
it was decided necessary to call upor
them for service.-Leslie's Weekly.
