Iron al Philosophy.

The idea that handsome is as hand.
some does has caused so much trouble
ever since 1t was first sprung upon an
unsuspecting world that it is high
time 1t is disposed Of. In the first
place, If you are really handsome,
especially If you happen to be a girl,
you don't have to do anything else. As
q matter Of fact, no beautiful girl ever
does anything else. 1t isn't necessary
for her to cook or sew or even talk.
All she has to do is to sit still and be
loved, and the line usually forms on
the right.
II you do thing, on the other hand,
the mere fact that you have done 1t Is
supposed to insure you being hand
some. What nonsenseI If you do the
handsome thing 1t will never be re-
garded as handsome by the only peo-
pie whose opinion is worth while, be-
cause with them doing the handsome
Is 80 usual that 1t becomes common.
place. If you are homely, nothing
you do will be handsome.
To do a handsome thing, therefore,
always start by being handsome. Then
you won't have to do it.-Life.

PLAYED GOLF IN DARKNESS
Enthusiastic DeVotees Of Ancient Sport
Refused to Let Close Of Daylight
End Their Game.

So enthusiastic are some fellows of
golf that even darkness, fog, or snow
holds no terrors for them Until a year
or two ago, at any rate, two bl theirs,
members of the Lundin Links club,
Fifeshire, invariably waited for dark
ness to fall before starting their game.
Another remarkable instance of play
In the dark was the occasion of a
match between Lord Kennedy and a
Mr.. Cruikshank, which started about
10 o'clock p. m. A lantern at each
hole was the only lighting used. And,
strange as it may seem, the opponents
played the holes in almost the same
number of strokes as they would
have taken to do 1t on the brightest
day.
Not nearly so successful, however,
was a tournament which took place
after dinner over a well-known course.
After the first shots from the prelim-
mary tee, not a single ball was found
again.
But, apart from matches got up after
sunset for wagers, many really i'm
portant tournaments have taken place
after dark. To wit, some years ago, at
Burnham Beeches, torch-bearers en-
abled the entrants of a certain qualify
Ing match to finish their rounds.-Lon-

squeaIer Never Popular.

Don't be a squealer! The telltale,
whether he or she does it directly or
by inference or by helping to carry
tales, is soon without the friendship
or sympathy of anyone. However just
the accusation may be, do not be a
party to its publication by word or
act, unless there is involved some
wrong-doing so evil that to withhold
punishment therefor would be q posi-
tive crime. Telltales are on a par
with and worse than many go-be-
tweens; they are mixers In other per-
sons business; they assume to correct
others misdeeds, and back of it all
they hope to see others belittled. There
Is seldom any unseIfishness in tale
bearing.

HAD BECKETT TURK MoTHER7
Legend That Has Long Been Current
In England, Notably About
Christmas Time.

The month of December holds among
its saints days the commemoration OF
Thomas a Beckett, archbishop of Can
terbury, assassinated in the cathedral
on the 10Th of the month in ITO by
four courtiers of Henry n-ReginalC
Fritzurse, Hugh de Morville, william
de Tracy and Richard de Breton, an
exchange says. The legend of Beckett
parentage Is a favorite in England
about Christmas time, and the story
has long been in dispute among some
eminent historical authorities.
This is the legend: Gilbert, his faith.
er, in his youth followed the Cru
saders to Palestine, and was taken
prisoner by Moor of nigh rank. His
personal attractions melted the heart
of his captor's daughter, a sweet Mo
hammedan, who enabled him TO escape,
not, however, until she had obtained
promise from Gilbert that as soon as
he had settled in his own land he
should send for and marry his protec
tress.
But Gilbert sent no message to the
lovelorn damsel. She resolved to pro-
coed to e. land, not to institute suit
for mutilated affections, but to remind
him of his engagement. This enter
prise, perilous indeed in that day, she
accomplished. She knew nothing of
the English language save the one
word GILBERT" the name Of her lover,
and that he dweIt in Cheanside Lon.
don. Repeating the name of Gilbert
to all she met she finally found him,
most clever piece of amateur detective
work for that early day, and having
found him he made his Promise good.
Before marriage she pr 'essed her
conversion to the Christian faith, and
was baptized in st. P ul's cathedral,
no fewer than six bishops assisting at
the ceremony.

cIoARET HABIT Grows.

q Girard in the Philadelphia Public
Ledger: Our people are smoking just
about 100000 miles of cigarets in
a year.
Drinking of alcoholic liquors is de-
clining rapidly, as club bar receipts
eloquently prove, but the smoking of
tobacco gains every day.
We Americans consume just eight
times as many cigarets as were
made in the United States when Me-
kinney was reelected president.
Our smoke bill is the largest nom
essential one the American people
pay. Tobacco collects from us more
than church and school combined.
