n n ANY people returning from a
wi summer outing can tell some
story about their misadven-
lures at the hands of the tribe Of
hackmen encountered during their
travels. The cost of getting baggage
carted is getting to be very sizable
item, and the hackman has a devious
strategy by which to augment it.
In towns like ours, the men who
pursue this calling are as dependable
and faithful as mechanics and
trades-people. They can earn a liv-
ing only by doing faithful work for
a fair price, and must make and keep
friends by honest treatment.
But in the larger cities and popu-
lar summer resorts, a tribe of vul-
lures haunt the railroad stations.
Their call Of ''Keb. keb. keb. keb,"
assaults arriving tourists, on whom
they pounce with hungry eyes. Their
unshorn and weather-beaten faces
suggest that they need all the money
they can get. Often their appear
ance suggests that their families will
not get all of their revenue, however.

Here is a typical experience re-
lated by one traveller. The tourist
and his party came in with five
trunks and a suit case. A haekman
told him the price for carrying the
baggage without assengers about
300 yards would be $3.50. The
traveller said it was too much, where
upon the hackman offered of his own
accord to carry 1t for SIPS.
When the hackman turned up, he
had but FIVE pieces, and claimed the
other trunk could not be found. He
refused to accept less than $1.25.
Then the traveller returned to the
station, found the missing trunk in
plain sight, where the hackman had
no doubt left it, and which then had
to be carted to the destination at
the cost of added expense and in
convenience. The hackman had got
the job for what seemed a good price,
and then was unwilling to fulfil the
contract he had himself proposed,
and no doubt chuckled at the annoy
ance he had visited upon the travel
er.-The quincy Daily Journal.

The Near-Bright Guy

There are certain people we meet
who have had a narrow escape from
being bright particular stars.
They once had a talent, and i'm
mediately wrapped IL in a napkin
and inferred 1t with proper cere-
monies. The graveyard where that
napkin-swaddled talent was buried
has never been disturbed by ghouls.
The napkin is still there, under its
little here lies, and always will be.
The Creator gave the fellow start
In life, filled his tank with gasoline,
and gave him a shove. He could
have gone far, If he had opened the
throttle, cut out the muffier and
steered properly. Instead of that, he
promptly applied the brakes, de-
clared that destination was satisfac-
tory, and pulled in by the side Of
the road to hail people as they went
by, going somewhere.
People In buggies, on horseback.
with prairie-schooners and on foot,
passed him. Folks who had been
given less than half as much ability
outstripped him. After awhile he
began to note this, and then he be-
gan blaming the Creator for not CIV
ing him a square deal and half
chance and good luck and-O what's
the use? You know lot of those
near-brights.
And nearly every one of them uses
en- alcohol mixture in his radiator.
To meet one of them is pain, and to
be one Of them is tragedy ten
times worse than any form of death
imaginable. Gosh, yes!

Marks Of Degeneration
BY WILLIAM BRADY, MD.

IN EGENERATION, in the medi-
cal sense, means a distinct
deviation from the normal or
usual. II Is shown by faulty or un-
balanced development OF the body.
and by nervous and mental peculiari-
ties. Neurotic> individuals. those
with hereditary tendencies to insani-
ty. alcoholism. drug habits. and the
like, are most likely to exhibit the
stigmata or marks of degeneration.
However, anatomical stigmata are
very often seen in absolutely healthy
stock; most of us can boast some lit
tie freakisi trait IL we will. Indeed,
the medical conception of insanity
permits no fast drawn line between
sane and insane; there are very
vague gradations, eccentricities, Pc
culiarities, monomanias, between the
frankly sane and the theoretically
normal. That is why medical ex-
pert witnesses and criminal--very
crimiEal-lawyer have such difficulty
in reaching conclusions in court.
The legal conception of insanity is
an arbitrary one; the medical con-
ception recognizes the resistance
to classification offered by human
nature.
Asymmetry of the skull. very small
head. very large head. peculiar
shapes of the skull, excessive prog
nathism and very large jaws are in
cluded in the list of marks of de-
generation. So are projecting teeth,
very irregular teeth, double teeth;
very thick lips or very thin lips;
narrow palpebral fissure (the width
of opening of the eyelids), and
shaky, jerky eyes; projecting ears,
too large and too small ears, ears too
high on the head or too low on the
neck, fioppy ears, ugly ears. ears
without lobes or with lobes adherent
to the cheeks.
Supernumerary fingers or toes,
webbed fingers or toes, excessively
long arms, excessively long legs
like the swell fellers in the fashion
plates-and, last but not least, gos-
sips will please take notice, an exces-
sive amount of tongue.

Your Size

There is nothing that makes one
appear so small and helpless as to
lie on the sand at the edge of the
Ocean and hear its roar. To that
Ocean we all appear but little big
ger than the billions of grains of
sand that its waters wash and kiss.
1t is well that we frequently get
away from ourselves and the con-
temptation of our little bits of selfish
interests long enough to realize the
enormity of Life and the appeal that
it makes directly to each Of US. The
Sea Shore, the great Forest, the
Country, the Crowd go far toward
bringing man back to his human
self. For humanity speaking, no man
is bigger or more important than
any other man except as he does.
That is the test of Your Size.
Much of the world mistakes great
ness. 1t isn't Power-its Worth
Most people look right over Worth.
But Power waEes. Worth does not.
That is why the real great grow
greater after they are gone. And
that is why many who seem to be
overlooked while they live loom up
grand and wonderful after they have
died and their actual Worth-their
Size-has been measured.
Your Size-right now, or later, can
only be determined by what you do.
1t matters little whether your work
is performed in public or private.
Its the Work that counts. How big
are you? Think it over alone. You
are the one most concerned.
