Men Who Are Winners

open minded, with very little OF the
preening peacock fuss-and feathers in
their makeup. They do not declaim
from the housetops, neither do they
insist on being 1t. They do not act
and talk as though they were nine

quick. simple and direct. They live
on time and not on credit. Their
promises are trusted; and presently
the world at hand, comes their way
and says to them, IF you please" :

Uses Of the Line Telephone

~ t"C GinC lCtcDnOnc.
A man was telling us that down in
the country he stopped at house that
mad line telephone. and while he sat
there, it rang, and forthwith there was
rush to IL, notwithstanding the
number OF rings indicated another
house. the Columbus (O.) State Jour
nal observes. But that made no diff.
terence, for they were just az much
interested in what their neighbors
were saying to each other, or what
the dealer had to say to any one of
them. They never for a moment oues-
toned their right to listen or the
propriety OF II. That was one thing
they had the telephone for-to listen
to what the neighbors were talking
about. And 1t was not such a bad
thing as II seemed, for it tended to
rule out all mean and unkind talk and
establish propriety and courtesy as
the rule OF the telephone. At any
rate. II saves everyone on the line
from the sad effect OF scandalous talk.
There is nothing that so contributes
to the morality and kindly bearing of
neighborhood as a line telephone.

BABY As AN ACTOR.

1t was reserved for the enterprise
OF movie" creators to exploit babie.
as actors for the screen. Under tn,
conditions of the real stage bab,
could not perform for the entertain
ment of a great audience. But on the
screen he appears quite frequently
and rarely does he fail to interest
the motely crowd every second of the
time his performance lasts.
I IT YOU are skeptical on this point
and are not so interested yourself as
to forget, just turn and survey sud
denly the faces of the crowd at 1
glance while baby is to the front on
the screen. You will see every eve
fixed on him while on most faces a
smile is unconsciously taking posses
sion. Carc-worn. many-lined. faces
relax in gentle amusement Children
chuckle to themselves. Parental
couples gaze with infinite good will
at the baby look and motions.
SO it will ever be. The movie
brings before us in marvellously va

young, the rich and the poor. the
hero and the villain. the pamperei

without mixed or impure purpose,

Therefore. the crowd loves him al
