WHY MEN sN00zE IN CHURCH

Denied With indignation BY the
Women Attendants.

The mystery Of the church snoosef
has been solved.
After determining that the ratio OF
women to men who fall asleep during
sermons Is about / to 234, certain
preachers have gone into the secrets
Of the phenomena and have sought
out the reasons therefor.
Contrary to the popular belief that
mems mind are slower and duller
than those Of women, and that there
fore they are more difficult to hold
with the logic of q sermon. the In
vestigating pastors say that the wom-
en- are not brighter, quicker to un.
derstand, more self-controlled and
that their eyes and their minds are
not more easily attached to the ser
mon.
The popular beliefs are all wrong
the Investigators say. The men foih
do nav more attention to the sermons
than do the women. In fact, 80 IN
tense Is the interest of the men IN
the sermon that they watch every
motion and gesture Of the preacher
until they hypnotic themselves and

SNOWFALL!

SNOWFALL!
That comprised the beginning and
the end of the waking thoughts Of
Bruce Telford. He had an idol-at

When the bright, earnest-faced
young fellow was not dashing over

needs of the splendid animal. or des-
canting upon its merits and beauty.

say-'T think It! There was the

mourned. Say, 1t was human-like. He
used to lean over the gate looking
straight across the river, the direction
in which Spitfire had gone. The
hostler used to tell Of how he groaned

This fact no rival ranchman ever
attempted or dared to combat, after
the Valley massacre during an In

That was an episode Bruce loved to
tell about. Hemmed in, he had fought
his way through horde of the dusky

head assisting, a rescued woman and
her baby at the saddle bow, warning

SNOWFALL was in sight, and swaying

At some unusual sight the horse had

"Spitflro!" exclaimed Bruce. and he
recognized the dismounted rider a.

mate Of Snowfall over q year agone.
And then his heart stood still. An
answering call, glad. riotous, delirious
