Oswald bent his knife to the point

Enoch shrugged his shoulders i'm
patiently.
II don't want to go over the ques-

position with Miss Paget to have the
child in my house. So far as see

goes with him"
What do you suggest"
Good God. there is only one thing
to do-send the child to the asylum

SAYS GET BACK TO YOUTH
Advice Of Physical Director to Tired
Business Men About to Take Va
cation Worth Needing.

Business men about to start on their
summer vacations are advised to read
dime novels, smoke cornsilk cigarettes
and act like kids" again, by DR.. Louis
r. Wellsmiller, physical director of the
West Side Y. NJ. c. A. of New York.
His prescription for the regeneration
Of businessmen members of the as
ISOLATION has been posted all over the
associations building. 1t reads:
Forget your dignity, throw away
your staidness. and be a kid again
a wholesome. fun-loving, boisterous
dime-novel-reading kid-during your
vacation. Many OF you men, when
youngsters, used to think It great fun
TO sneak out behind the barn, with a
cigarette made Of cornsilk and brown
wrapping paper 1t won't hurt you to
try the same thing again. You won't
be able to smoke enough to hurt your
self, and there's no danger OF con-
tracing the cornsilk habit.
Dime novels make good summer
reading. They are next to the Bible
for vacation reading, but take the BIZ
BILE along. of course. Many great men
read Nick Carter, Jesse James and
like writings for relaxation. Most Of
you men have come to New York and
have made good. Help yourselves to
make good again next winter by be-
ing boy on your vacation"

The Same Thlnu.

Vincent Astor, at a dinner in New
York. said of the French evening
gowns that have caused so many
shocked women to unite in protest:
81 heard a story about one Of these
gowns. A headstrong girl had -pur-
chased II in the Rue de la Paix with
out her mothers knowledge. and she
insisted on wearing 1t, the evening It
came home, at Armenonville for din
ner and at the opera afterwards for
the Russian ballet. Her mother, how
ever, protested. But the girl, in her
headstrong way, declared:
IN wear that gown or nothing
with a shrug and a faint smile,
her mother answered:
"Well. 1t comes to about the same
thing"

sllhoustts and Painting.

The art Of painting begins newt
ably with drpwing-with expression
by means Of the point-the result:
line. This every teacher and academy
realizes and has to realize. More:
every great school Of painting has
evolved from It. But this use Of the
point, or drawing. soon reaches its
limitations, and the brush demands
mass, or perhaps 1t is more correct to
say that mass demands the brush. The
floating Of masses on to canvas or
paper, with its edges holding the out
line OF the form, is silhouette. Silhou-
cite, in other words, is the basis Of all
mass impressions; without a sense Of
silhouette we can utter no large and
sublime moods. Yet, strange to say,
the small part given to silhouette in
the teaching Of the art Of painting in
academies-indeed, more often the ut
ter lack Of it-has always struck me
as neutrality-suspicious. Macfall,
in 7. P.s Weekly, London.

tory beyond their anticipation.
Enoch leaned back in his chair and
lit a cigar. III we can stay in New

HIT THE SPOT.
Postum Knocked Out Coffee Ais.

There's a good deal OF satisfaction
and comfort in hitting upon the right
thing to rid one OF the varied and
constant ailments caused by coffee
drinking.
Ever since I can remember"
writes an Ind. woman, my father
has been a lover Of his coffee, but the
continued use of 1t so affected his
stomach that he could scarcely eat at
times.
Mother had coffee-headache and
dizziness, and II drank coffee for
breakfast would taste 1t all day and
usually go to bed with headache.
One day father brought home q
pkg Of Postum recommended by our
grocer. Mother made it according to
directions on the box and 1t just hit
the spot" It has a dark, seal-brown
color, changing to golden brown when
cream is added, and a snappy taste
similar to mild, high-grade coffee, and
we found that its continued use speed
lily put an end to all our coffee ills.
That was at least ten years ago
and Postum has, from that day to
this. been a standing order Of fathers

a great coffee drinker, although he
admitted that It hurt him. When /

FAMOUS LECTURE
Is Delivered by Edward. Am
herst OFT in Wesleyan Col
lege Auditorium.

BUCKHANNoN, Dec. 16.-Edward
Amherst OFT, the purposeful orator,
was at the Wesleyan auditorium Tues
day night and because of the heavy
snow and the intense cold 1t was the
smallest crowd that has attended an
entertainment of this kind in years
that was there to hear him, there
being only about 400 out
He gave his famous lecture Sour
Grapes. and he was fine, bringing a
probiim and solution for It, that
goes down to the very root OF the
matter. 1t was the old problem of
the correct reproduction Of the race
that the best men and women may be
brought into the world and then he
went little farther and discussed
the proper way to bring up the YOUNG
men and women so that they could
accomplish the most. And his soiu-
ton was that It lies In the home, with
old fashioned manners and courtesy,
and the making OF the homes comfort
able and happy, BY love and under
standing the problem would soon be
stamped out.
Prof. OFT is an authority. on his
subject and his language is plain and
TO the point. and SO forceful that one
can not help but heed.

AMMoNs, "THE soUAw CATCHER"
Title Given for Prowess in Aresting and
Jailing Mother" Jones.

Senator Robinson of the Upper House
OF the Colorado Legislature introduced
in that body a resolution calling on Gov
ernor Ammons to resign the position he
holds, since his incapacity has caused
breakdown of the state government.
Speaking in support of his resolution the
senator called the governor "the great
squaw catcher" in reference to the ar
rest and detention Of Mother Jones, and
expressed the hope that this would be-
come his official title. ''The great squaw
catcher" is good and would provoke un-
bounded derisive laughter at the COVER
nor's expense if the conditions in Colo
RADIO were not so terribly tragical and
ruinous to life and liberty. The brutal
efforts to silence the courageous @angel
of the mines" made by the lawless au-
thorities of the storm-ridden state show,
however, how much they fear an honest
appeal to common reason and an en-
lightened public opinion.-Minnesota
Union Advocate.
