MAN SHORTENING up


In recent years anatomists have

height OF a man or woman can be
increased to 4 considerable extent by
appliances Tor stretching These en-
tensions, however, have only been OF
inches or fractions OF an inch, and
giants have not been, nor are they
likely to be, developed by artificial
means 1t was French servant,
named Henrion, who, 200 years ago,
gave TO the world authoritative state
ments as to the height OF Adam and
Eve. He said that the father of the
race was l2S feet six inches high and
Eve llS feet nine inches, He noted
that from the creation OF these en-
larged editions OF humanity, dcgener-
alton had been rapid; that Noah was
only twenty-Seven, Abraham only
twenty and Moses but thirteen feet in
height, According To this French au-
thority, il the Christian dispensation
had not arrested this decrease, man
by this timc--200 years ago--would
have been mere microscopic object,
and We may conclude that by our time
he would not have been at all. NJ.

MADE A LUCKY INVESTMENT
Bunch of Stock Purchased Fol-
$50 Ten Years Ago,
Now Worth $4,000.


Out at Pixies Crossing, Ind, tor
mer Pittsburgh man, James Jacob
Weaver, is at work as teamster on a
new line of railway, unconcerned by
the prospect of soon recovering
$4,000.
A muddy bit of paper--a stock GER.
tihcate representing an investment OF
$5O-that had been locked in trunk
for ten years became treasure to
Weaver, who learned from a news
paper advertisement that search was
being made for him in an effort to
buy the certificate for $3s,0O0.
Weaver was sitting i'll station at
Lebanon, Ind, few days ago when
he picked up a discarded newspaper,
several days old. He saw the adver-
t,sement, indicating that he may get
a fortune.
In the spring of 1906 he was at his
home in Pittsburgh and invested $sO
in FIVE shares OF stock in land com.
PAW in Florida. Since that time he
had some misgivings as to the value
of the investment.
A few days ago rain kept Weaver
from working at Pixies Crossing, and
he occupied the day in cleaning out
his Old trunk. He found the certif'
cate.
1--WE had that old thing long
enough and it has done me no good
| guess I'll just burn it," he unused
Later he thought better OF the GER
ti6cate and tossed it back into the
trunk. That is the paper now safe
to be worth $35,0O0.
Joseph E. Wilson, an agent OF the
land company, advertised for Weaver
Wilson said Viewers stock was beine
sought by prospective buyers, who
were willing TO pay $s5,0OO for it,

More often than not, too, these

in a muddle. The widows friends
and advisers urged her to turn
over the place to the creditors in
order to settle the debts and then
look about for some employment
plain sewing, or canvassing, or
something of the sort-in order
to support herself and her children.

But she refused to listen to this
advice. She knew that at plain
sewing or canvassing she would be
a sorry failure. To her mind, that
little shop of her husbands offered
her the one hope of escape from
the poor house, and she set her
self desperately to mastering the
details of its operation.
A plan suggested itself to her
whereby she might not only in
crease her output, but at the same
time considerably reduce her run
ming expenses. Her foreman
scoffed at the idea when she pre-
sented it to him.

Mabel Dodge Writes on Working
For a Living

no you know what that
phrase means?
The factory girl is
earning nine dollars a week, but
she is not working for her living.
II is not a question of the nine
dollars either.
II she got ninety dollars a
week-and remained in those
close rooms, deadened by the re-
lentless machinery that grinds
her soul out of her-she would
not be earning her living.
The negroes are remaking the
Albany post road.
They dig, and shovel, and car
~ bricks to and fro and lay
them down again, and the road
grows.
They, however, are not work
ing for their living.
Even that rich man riding
down in his motor to the Office
where he stays all day trying to
make more money-he is not
earning a living!

and mysterious, and yet the
simplest thing in the world.

Suppose that Clotilda has a sis

no suspicion of temperament, but
who does possess a certain knack
in money matters. The family
notices that Martha always gets
full value for every penny she lays
out; that she has a certain Midas
touch which turns everything she
handles into gold. And that, al
though the rest of them may be

But does the family stint itself
and go on short rations in order
that this valuable faculty Of
Martha's may be fostered and de-
