THE PROPER STUDY
OF MANKIND rs MAN
By w. @. BULLOCK.

Could there be a tr1er fact? In order
to ACQUIRE knowledge, the logical stsT
would be from the known to the un-
known; that is, taking the unsolved and
comparing IL with the knowledge derived
from figures, facts, and formulas which
have already been acquired. Therefore
IL We wish to possess keener under
standing of human nature 1t would be
wise to study the biography Of various
characters, so as to form a foundation
upon which to work.
The quality of character can be deter
mined by cultivating the habit of keenly
observing the manner and actions Of the
person under consideration, It being q
weIl-known fact that IL left upon thei'
own resources the chances are that in
clinations, according to their own liking
will be pursued, which will certainly tell
whether they are sympathetic, light
hearted, or inclined to be of an unscrupu-
lous disposition.
Let US take as practical Illustration q
case of going to the theater with friend

deals with the many problems of life and
you can. unobserved, watch the effects
Of the various stages Of the play on your
friend, the chances are that one OF che
characteristics previously mentioned will
be demonstrated.
BY the process of deduction. true char
acter is often revealed: that Is, IL you
observe the care they take OF their cwr
possessions, or that which is loaned them,

cleanliness, neglectfulness, or apprecia-
tion is the dominant factor: and II better
care is taken Of their own property, the
indications are that selflshness prevails.

They travel together. these pardners
of the West and whether they be cow
boys or Cousin Jacks" the boss who
fires one of them fires both of them,
and they go share and share IN every
thing.
Bud Hooker and Philip De Lancey
had met by chance In Ell Paso when
the revolution was Just beginning to
boil and the city was swarming with
adventurers. The agents of the rebels
were everywhere. urging Americans to
join their cause. Military preferment,
cash payments, and grants of land
were the bats they used, but Hooker
stood out from the first and took De
Lancey with him. A Mexican promise
did not pass current where he was
born and they went to the mines In
stead.
Then the war broke out and, while
fugitives streamed out of stricken
Chihuahua, they finally struck out
against the tide, fighting their way to
a certain mine far back in the Sierra
Madres, where they could dig the gold
on shares.
Behind them the battle waged;
Casas Grandes was taken and retaken:
Juarez, Aqua Negra and Chihuahua
fell; Don Porfirio, the Old Man of Mex
leo, went out and Madero took his
place; and still they worked for their
stake.
Then new arms and ammunition
flowed In from across the border;
Orozco and his rebel chiefs went out,
and the breath of wal famed higher
against the hills. At last the first
broken band of rebels came struggling
by, and, reading hate and envy
in their lawless eyes,, the Americans
dug up their gold at shutdown and rode
all the night for their lives.
And now. welded together by all that
toll and danger. they were pardners.

It was the last thing that either of

seized upon them and sent them back
to another adventure.
