LITTLE MARY'S ESSAYS
BY DOROTHY DIX.

When the Lord made the world He
was in hurry to get the job done by
Saturday night, so He didn't take time
to make lot of folks. He Just made
the man, and called him Adam. But
Adam was lonesome because he didn't
have no wife, and nobody to blame it
on when he lost things, and couldn't
find them, and the diner wasn't good.
So the Lord put Adam to sleep, and
took out his wishbone, and made wom-
an out of him, and that's why the
women amt never got enough of any
thing, but are wishing for more.
Women are some like men, and some
different. Men can run faster, and
throw harder and have got bigger
hands and feet than women has, but
woman has got a longer tongue than
man has, and she can holler louder
A woman cannot walk far in the open
air. but she can walk all day long in
department store, which would make
strong man tired.
Women is afraid of snaix, and mices
and burglars that hides under the bed
but man is afraid of woman's club
and mother-in-law, and other danger
Gus animals. When a woman has to
have tooth pulled she puts on hei

BOP z YEARS OLD
WALKS ON ALL FOURS
ALABAMA DETECTIVE PRESENTS
PECULIAR REVISION TO
TYPE.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. GA case
of a possible revision to type is that
of Thomas Armstrong, twelve-year-
old boy Of Bangor, Ala. Upon the death
of his father he was thrown on the
community and sent to the associated
charities in Birmingham, then turned
over to the juveline court, which in
turn transferred him to a leading
physician. The medical profession here
is using the boy as anthropological
study.
Young Armstrong has never learned
to walk erect, but goes on "all tours"
He is physically strong and can run
as fast as the average boy. His body
and limbs are normally formed and
developed. His arms are slightly long
er than normal, presumably as re-
suit of use in all-four walking. 1t has
always seemed natural for him to
walk that way.
Horizontal Position Natural.
When he was little child his moth
er died. His father married again, but
did not live long, and the boy had to
shift for himself. From habit and
usage he can place his hands on the
ground with his body in horizontal
position. He says his back and
shoulders never get tired from Ions
walks.
The boys mental development has
been slow, but the physician who ha.
him in charge believes that in ST
months he will be able to walk lik'
other boys. He is being trained il
that direction and has made some pre-
gress. He is gradually developing
mentally as we'll
Physicians are studying the cas-
e with exceptional interest in the belle
J that valuable anthropological and met
: ical information may be obtained froI
his treatment.
5, For ten years the boy has travele
(. ON all fours, and can walk for mile
that way and keep up with the othe
boys.

best dress and waves her hair like she
was going to a picnic, but a mans
wife has to take him by the hand and
lead him to the dentist because he is
so afraid that he will get hurt.
My Sunday school teacher says that
God made man in His own image, but
women make themselves over every
year to look like the figures in the
store windows.
Women is smarter than men because
women makes the men work for them
and give them al the money they earn,
but the men won't let the women vote,
that is why women says, Votes for
women"
My father says that being woman
is graft that has got Tammany con-
tract skinned to finish. do not know
what that means, but | know that If
you are pretty woman and have on
fine clothes all the men in the subway
will jump up to give you their seats,
but If you are an old and ugly woman
you have to stand and hold your
bundles, because all the men are so
busy reading about the war in Mexico
that they can not see you.
Oh, let us all strive to be young and
| pretty women.

And make you want to run
Far, far away;
And stranger, still how other folks

And make you rather live
Right there among the ones
Who vex your soul,

Mcriden on September L. 1913 The oc-
casion was sanctioned and encouraged by
the presence of the President of the
United States and his family. Although
the masque was written for special
purpose. its intrinsic beauty and poetic
charm made it a work of general and
permanent interest. The repertoire is
further varied in the selection of a
Greek play for the final performance Fri
day evening. The Coburn Players are
especially noted for their artistic rendi-
ton of Greek plays. and their perform
ance of Euripides' Electra" at the
Western High School two years ago is
well remembered. "Iphigena." like "Elec-
tra," is given in the translation of Gilbert
Murray. The Washington engagement is
under the management of T. Arthur
Smith.
