LIVES WITH BRAIN EXPOSED
Ton of Head Blown of by Shotgun,
Bernard Archer, May Yet Re-
cover Health.

McKittrick, Wis.-Bernard Archer,
of this city, is still living, after part OF
his skull was blown away by the dis
charge of his shotgun. The movement
of his brain can plainly be seen.
Archer was returning from clay
bird shooting event when rabbit ran
across the road in front of him. In go
ing through the brush his gun was
knocked from his hand and was dis
charged as it struck the ground. He
was still able to walk into town after
the accident and has never been un'
conscious.

Ii man commences 10 udLIeT d
young woman quite as soon as they
are introduced, she should not take it
for granted that all he says is Cos
pei truth. 1t seems strange to sensi-
BILE men what success these ffatterers
have in ingrattating themselves into
the good will and afterwards the
hearts of woLlsn.
There are men who make study Of
making soft speeches to innocent, un-
suspecting women. They take good
care to fiatter only the woman who
they think will stand for it. If she
takes kindly to what she deems COM
pliment, they grow holder. 1t does
not take long for the adroit flatterer
to make Roadway. He is seldom or
never a man whose heart is touched
by women. He has an eye usually to
wealth. His creed is that a man can
win with a fiattering tongue, within
few months time, a fortune by we'd
ding; whereas, if he attempted to make
fortune by hard, noble industry, he
would live his life out in poverty.
Poor girlsA he finds, are on the alert
against f1atperers. Young women OF
wealth are not so wary. He gives
such a girl the impression that it was
case of intense interest with him the
first instant he saw her. After the
first glance, he could not forget the
blue of her eyes and the first words
she uttered. He finds nine women
out of ten are pleased to hear that.
And he is amused secretly at their
foolishness in believing it. 1t is his
belief that women dote on fiattery.
It never occurs to them that he is
using the same speeches over and over
again to every woman he meets. What
woman suspects him of telling a hb
when he whispers ardently to her that
she has the most charming personality
of anyone he ever met? That it is
heaven on earth to be by her side?
She may be as homely as a hedge
fence, and know it; but he can actu-
ally make her believe that he thinks
her quite beauty, clever and charm
ing. She may look fright in this
hat or that one, but fiatterer never
makes the mistake of telling her the
plain truth.
Womenkind, as a rule, do not take
kindly to unvarnished truths. Won
en- who take to flattery as duck to
water never choose plain, blunt, out
spoken man for lover. 1t is a we'll
known fact that after fatterer weds
a girl of wealth, and he has weedled
her into giving him the reins of her
fortune in part, or generally in its en-
tirety, his fiattery stops short. Al
that stage of the game she is pretty
/ apt to hear his actual opinion OF her
i He wastes no time In idle sophistries
It is needless to say the woman who
llends a willing ear to the fiatterer gen
orally rues it. His pretended inter
est In her is shortlived. Even the mos
obtuse observers of men and theil
manners cannot help but discover this
soon or late. She finds she has trust
ed man who is not worth womana
love and devotion. @

Hong as women will pay heed to them

tions.
