Billet for Every Bullet.

The coverb "every bullet has it's billet" s attributed to William IL. One of he earliest references to it is in |" ristram Shandy," where Cor poral Trim says, King William was of an opinion, an please your hon. or, that everything was predestined for us in this world; insomuch that he would often say to his soldiers that every bullet has it's billet The story was known to Wesley, who re- cords in his Journal" under June 6, 1765, that he travelled with a Leuten- ant Cook, who had been in campaigns against Indians, French and Span iards, and had never been touched. "So true" says Wesley, lis the odd saying of King William that every bull let has it's billet"

ONE OF NATURES MARVELS
Great Stone Face of the Pyrenees Has Entranced Artists From All
 Parts of tho World.

There is probably no more remark ably example of natural statuary in the world than the famous stone face of the Pyrenees, in Spain. The eleva- tion stands alone, surrounded by val leys so that the profile dominates the skyline for many miles.
 The chin is firmly modelled, while the lips seem to be tightly compressed. The line representing the nose is drawn with strong bold stroke, giv- ing it a truly Castilian character.
 The mountain with this singular con- tour rises so high above the surround ing country that it may be seen for many miles. It is, besides, modelled on such heroic lines that the appear ance of foliage, even the growth of forest, does not alter the lifelike ap- pearance throughout the seasons.

QUITE PROFESSIONAL

Augustine Birrell, in his early
days at the bar, often had tc
deal with poor clients. On one
occasion he defended a very poor
man, and offered to do so for no
thing. Mr., Birrel won the case
and the client was so grateful
that he sent the lawyer Is shill-
lngs. Mr.. Birrell accepted this
small sum so as not to hurt the
mans feelings, but later on, he
was reproached by a fellow law
yer for dong so.
Why, said the latter gentle
man, did you take Is shillines :?
Don't you know that it is unpro-
fessional conduct for US lawyers
to take less than gold?"

with a twinkle in his eve. Il

fessional, do you?" Pearson's

REVIEW.
"Seyen Keys to Baldpate."

'Seyen Keys to Baldpate."
 In "Seven Keys to Baldpate," which had two presentations at the Elks' theatre yesterday, George Cohan ap- pears as a playwright of a new sort a sort deeper, more serious, and
 with strong vein of a different sort of humor than he has displayed in most of his earlier efforts.
 Seven Keys to Baldpate' more than pleased--it surprised and de- lighted. It was different from any thing else ever seen here, and the rather mild prologue was hardly con- ductive to pleasant anticlpations- but after the prologue things began to happen, o,le after the other-snap, snap, snap, just like that--continu' ously to the denounement, which was the greatest surprise of all. The audience was kept guessing through cut--even as they were kept laugh ing continuously.
 Fer ten minutes or so seven people occupied chairs on the stage. with out a word being spoken, and the audience did the wonderful thing it waited and watched silently. inter- ested beyond belief, unable to imag inc what would occur, but certain something was to happen. It's not often a play holds an audience through such a period of absolute silence and inactivity, and that Seven Keys to Baldpate" did it., makes it plain it was an unusually strong play.

TO PICK TYPICAL
 AMERICAN BEAUTY
Southern Woman Assigned and Accepts Task of Typi-
 flying Feminine Perfection.

Chicago, Feb. 3.---What is the typi- cal style of. American feminine beauty?
 A pretty Southern woman has this problem on her hands. But she says she knows the answer.
 She is Nancy Cox-McCormack Of Nashville and Chicago K She. is a sculptress of national fame and be- sides she comes of proud old Southern family that traces it's American ancestry clear back to the time when Richard Cox established the famous estate of Malvern Hills, Va. in 1882. Four years ago she came to Chicago to take up her residence in the artists colony of this city but two years ago the citizens of Nashville called her back home to make the statute of Senator Edward Carmack which stands at the entrance of the Tennessee capitol grounds.
 The latest and most interesting achievement of this talented society girl was to receive the commission of the Fashion Art league of America to design the great silver trophy which is to be presented semi-annu- ally for excellence in designing fash ions for women. The trophy was :nresented to the organization which has members in all parts of the, United States by Y w. Gossard the, Chicago millionaire who thinks America should wrest the fashion leadership from Paris.
 "Yes" said NSncy Cox-McCormack in her studio yesterday. 'there is a typical style of American beauty. Our women are a combination of the beauty of all other nations and are the prettiest in the world. Luther Burbank has evolved some wonderful flowers out of the most common of species. It is the combination tho+ produces the wonder. Just so with American women. I want the Cos sard trophy to stand through all time as typifying the highest ideal in the beauty of our women. At least as that ideal exists today. No telling what she will be fifty years from now."
 And there you are. Is Miss Colum.
