BEING A 'NUT" is ALL RIGHT
English Slang Differs Much From
Same Term in United States.
Boston Herald.

If a man meets another man in Pic
cadiIly and says: Jack is pulling your
leg he means quite a different thing
IRON what man meeting another
man on Broadway would mean. In
London he means that Jack is telling
his friend some sort Of marvellous
stories that are not true, but are de-
signed to deceive not for the purpose
of profit. but for the purpose Of max
ing the man appear ridiculous. An
American attempting to express the
same thought would say: Jack is kid
ding YOU" On the American side OF
the Atlantic, leg pulling means to ex-
change a counterfeit fairy tale for
some real money.
In the United States, to call man
a nut" is to imply that he is afflict-
ed with wheels in his cranium bats
in his belfry, or, in other words, to
imply that there is nobody nome up
stairs. In this land Of the free and
home Of the brave a nut is lun-
attic.
Not so in Britain. Over there to call
a man a nut" especially if he be
young man, is very likely to be high
compliment, for an English nut"

You can still have the best
Things in life, like the rest
Of the men Who've achieved
Just because they've believed
In themselves. Yoou're deceived
If you think fortune comes
With a rattle Of drums
And a fanfare of state
To hand yours on plate
That isn't the way

You must get out and rustic and bus
tie and hustle
You need all your muscle, for you've
got to tussle
Plunge into the fight,
Hit to left and to right,
And keep crashing and smashing.

Till things meet your liking.
For Gods sake, stop bawling-

THE SPELLBINDERS
Adventures Of a Crouch

YOU have many children crying for bread,
but nobody will feel sorry for you un-
til you have had those fire escapes con
demned and removed.
"And if you must 90 around Fostering
busy women trying to sell books, you
might at least sell cookery books, OF
some volumes that viii make people
nebler and better. We have too many
orators in this country as it is, for when
a man once gets the idea that he is q
spellbinder, he is totally unfit for useful
work, and most men are only too eager
to believe that they can talk rings
around Cicero and Bryan
my husband is a fine man, taking him
by and large, and he is universally re-
spected He can do many things well,
but he can't speak worth a cent. When
he talks low he rumbles, and when he
talks high he whistles, and every once
in a whole he forgets what he was 90
ing to say, and stands before a crowd
like an idiot struck by lightning, so that
even his worst enemies would feel sorry
for him. 1t took me the longest time
to convince him that public speaking
isn't his strong point. He used to be
always reading the Orations of Daniel
Webster and the rest of the famous
windlammers, and he bought books on
elocutiOn and studied them when he
should have been spading up the garden.

6GT AM informed that your husband
takes an active part In public
matters, as all good citizens
should" said the man with sidewhiskers,
"and I have no doubt that he's often
called upon to make a speech. Now, it's
an unfortunate fact that the average
American citizen is at his worst when
called upon for a speech, because he
doesn't know the rudiments of rhetoric.
1t was with this fact in mind that the
great Prof. DoOdlespieler wrote his book
on elOcutiOn and oratory. With this
book in his possession any man may
rival DemOsthenes OF j. Hamilton Lewis,
and I am offering it at such q low
price"

Mrs. Curfew. Gwen if your book was
the best in the world, I wouldn't buy it,
because I was brought up in a respect
able home, and my father taught me to
place no trust in people who wear side
whiskers. I have sympathy for men who
are crippled OF defOrmed, for they can't
help themselves, and only yesterday I
gave a good hickory shirt to a man
whose ears had been bitten off by a
tame bear; but no man is compelled to
wear sideWhiskers, and such defOrmities
don't appeal to charitable hearts. 1t may

Blanche Ring, wrinkling up
her face for me adorabIy. Don't you
like the name Of my new play? Every
time I see When Claudia Smiles I re-
aIize that have reputation to live up
to, for when Claudia smiles, Blanche
smiles, and, as I said before, there's q
reason.
In these froliscOme days, when life
seems to be composed of one tango tea
after another, and when the athletic
girl is hailed as she never was hailed
before, there is a very grave problem
to be considered. Yes, I can really con-
slider very grave problems when want
to, particularly when the problems pre-
sent a very serious drawback to smiles
Of any kind. And to come to the point,
I mean that too many people are over
exercising. Isn't that a serious prob

why not take that? We walk, perhaps

miles at a stretch-We accomplish the
five miles, and then decide TO establish

I'VE come back tired physically and
mentally, with the muscles of our body
easily rested, but the muscles Of our
face dragged and weary from too much
mental strain. But we continue to walk,
confident that we are attaining beauty.
Every day we repeat the same, We gain
strong, healthy bodies, but by holding
our minds in check, by allowing our
minds to dwell continually upon the
benefit we are to derive from the hours
Of compulsory exercise, we forget to
have a good time with our thoughts
we forget to release them from the
bonds Of determination we forget to

In spite of all his studying he couldn't
overcome his habit Of getting his wires
crossed whenever he tried to speak, and
he made himself ridiculous every time
he opened his mouth.
''The last time he was candidate for
the school board he attended a political
meeting and was called upon for few
remarks. I was sitting by him and tried
to persuade him to refuse, but he was
bound and determined, and had his way.
He got up on the platform and tried to
turn loose speech he had been prepar-
inc for weeks. He wanted to say that
the schools are the bulwarks of our lib
