THE SYMPATHETIC GIRL.

You may know a girl who Is
popular, and justly so. Have
you ever taken the trouble to
consider the reasons why? II
you have doubtless you soon dis
covered that she has a faculty
for putting herself in your place.
taking your point of view and
seeming deeply interested in
your dearest concerns.
She does not talk about her
self. She is without concelt.
She finds all that there is to
praise in her friends and in her
own household and in the great
round world she loves to live in,
but she does not emphasize the
magnitude Of her own part in
the great scheme of things. All
her interest seems to he saved
for what you r and what you
do. She gives yoU the chance to
tell "a hard luck story" If you
like or to confde your cherish
ed plans and dreams. You feel,
after all, that your life is no: a
broken, futile thing.

LINCoLN's B0YHooD DAYS.
Even In His Schooling Period He
Would Make Speeches.

The first real excitement of Lin
coins life occurred when he was about
four years old. His father moved
from the farm on Nolin creek to an
other some fifteen miles northeast on
Knob creek, and here the child began
to go to school,
The schools Of that day in the west
We're haphazaru affairs, depending
upon whether some teacher with
nothing better to do for the moment
wandered into the country and offered
his services.
Lincoln was an unusually bright boy
ut school, it is said. and made SPLEEN
did progress in his studies. Indeed,
he learned faster than any Of his
schooimates. Though so young. he
studied very hard. He would get spice
wood brushes, hack them up on q log
and burn them two or three together
for the purpose Of giving light by
which he might study. 1t was not a
good light, but the best he could get.
Mrs. Lincoln TOOK great pains to
teach her children what she knew. and
at her knee they heard all the Bible
lore. fairy tales and country legends
she had been able to gather in her
poor life.
Besides the "a B c schools" as Lin
coin called them. the only other me
lium of education in the country dis
tricts of kentucky in those days was
"preaching." For years in his boyhood
one of L~incoln's chief delights was to
get his playmates about him and
preach and thump until he had his
auditors frightened or in tears.
As soon as the child was strong
enough to follow his father in the
fields he was put to work ut simple
tasks-bringing tools, carrying water.
! picking berries. dropping seeds, etc.

Money SAVING Rules.

1.-The German housewife is not much
given to troubling her head about the
high cost Of living and it's causes.
Rather" so writes Il friend in the va
terland, "she makes her expenditures
correspond to her income. She has
certain fixed rules which are quite well
worth quoting.
PAY cash for everything"
"Do your own buying and market
ing"
BE careful in your selection Of food"
STUDY out ut the beginning of the
week just how much you spend"
"Fi9ure out a system of utilizing all
materials. Even the %leftovers from a
meal can be made into something."

NEW USE FOR TANGO.
Modern Dance Appeals to Many Health
C%ulturists.

If you ever had any hesitation about
taking up the tango you need hest
tate no longer, for now we have
the word of a we'll known physical
culturist that the dance is the very
best sort of tonic for good health.
For the tango. properly danced, &C.
corGing to this authority, brings al
most every muscle Of the body into
play.
If the people who are out of condi-
to the dance they would Keep in good
shape and feel all the healthier for
the exercise. This applies to older
men and women particularly. and. by
the way, it is astonishing to find that
the new dance has many devotees
among the middle aged.
Bitter complaints are heard on ev-
cry side. The girls have learned the
tango, the men have not-the majori-
ty, at any %rate-and there arises the
spectacle of the distracted hostess
%wringing her hands over the nonap-
pearance Of the Sterner sex, who are
unable to master the intricacies Of the
new dance.
To watch the tango as danced by ex-
perts is Il delight: to attempt it your
self, when you are uncertain of the
figures, when YOU seem to have twice
yonr usual complement OF feet and Il
fatal attraction for the toe of your
partners slipper, is no nnmixed pleas

Showed Deep Emotion. Appeared
Worn and His Face Was Gray.
To those who have been with him
on every public occasion since he was
inaugurated. ii Was q new president
who spoke his euIeEy of the Vera
Cruz dead at the navy yard yester-
day At no time has he seemed so
shaken by an almost commissioning
emotion Never has he fought harder
TO maintain an appearance of calm
The president IN his speeches Sel-
dom employs gestures, So It was very
evident that an unusual and deep
feeling compelled him when AT the
very close of his address he threw
wide his arms. as he said his voice
breaking pereeptihly
MAY God grant to ell Of lis that
vision of patriotic service which here
in solemnitv and grief and pride Is
borne in upon our hearts and con-
sciences
That was not Wilson the scholar
or Wilson the president to those who
had been with him so much. 1t vas
a man more nearly overcome by his
/ feelings than ever before in his pub
/ lie career,
At the navy yard the president re-
ceived the Official courtesies and took
his place In the front Of the stand.
He stood while the flag covered cof-
fms were lifted upon the rests, LOOK
Ing first at them and then at the lines
Of sailors drawn up about them. As
the band began the funeral march his
eyes shifted and for several long me-
ments he stood gazing out over tho
river, His mouth twitched, Then his
eyes fell upon them until the secre-
tary of the navy spoke to him.
During the prayers by Rabbi Wise
and the navy chaplains Mr.. wilson's
eyes were closed, his head bowed and
his hands clasped tightly together n
front of him. When he spoke he evil
denced further the unusual state of
his feelings BY striking the table in
front of him with his fist number
Of times, something he does not gen
orally do-Eew York Sun.
