no one on this earth is more in

No one quicker to rise to your de-

cident has led me to study you,
and this is what l have learned:
"Y5u go down the street very
scantily dressed. You apparently
deliberately expose as much of
your person as is necessary to
appeal to the carnal instinct of a
man. Your lovely neck, a large
portion of your well.developed
breast, your arms and by means
OF short and transparent hose, a
goodly share of your lower limbs
are exposed to view.
THAT part Of your body that is at
all partly covered is clothed in a
way that every curve and angle is
out in bold relief. Then when you
pass a man or group Of men, you
giggle, toss your head and perhaps
remark to your girl companion
that this old town is the slowest
town that you ever saw And if
some man challenges you, you
want him shot"

This Winter Should Show Decided

(Boston News Bureau.

(Boston News Bureau.)
All sorts of reasons have been
fancied for the recent weakness in
New Haven Railroad shares, which
sold down Wednesday to As is, or
within 2 points Of its low record.
So far as current operating results
enter into the situation, we can state
that preliminary returns for Decem-
Der indicate 100000 surplus earn
inEs for that month after charges.
This contrasts with $4,000 deficit
in December, 1915. Moreover, the
other winter months should compare
very favorably with those Of year
ago.
Though gross revenues show as
much business being done z as last
year at this time, the New Haven"
lines are handling their freight traf-
fic with only about $4,000 cars on the
rails, against some $1,000 year ago.
While the New England roads serve
what il naturally a terminal territory
and the recent increase In the car
hire charge to Is cents day is there
fore particularly unfair to them, high
demurrage charges being received by
the New Haven together with It's
new locomotives, will help offset
eouipment-hire costs and should
make possible quicker handling OF
foreign cars.
It is understood that tNew Ha-
vens'' bankers have given assurances
that there will be no difficulty as re-
CARDS renewal of the approximately
$4,000, 900 floating debt due May l.,

road itself and about $17,O0O,OOO
three-year 6 per cent. collateral de-
bentures Of New England Navigation
company. 1t is worth noting that, OF
each Of these debts, the management
has paid off some 100000 from

Wonderful CARVING.

DR.. Peter Oliver, who lived in Eng
land during the early part of the eight
eenth century, tells of seeing a carved
cherry stone which would be a wonder
even in this age Of fine tools and fine
workmanship. The stone was one
from common cherry, and upon it
were carved the heads of 1874 popes,
kings, queens, emperors, saints. etc.
Small as they must necessarily have
been, 1t is announced on the authority
of Professor Oliver that with a good
glass the heads Of the popes and kings
could readily be distinguished from
those of the queens and saints by their
miters and crowns. The gentleman
who brought this little wonder to Eng
land purchased 1t in Prussia, allowing
the original owner f5 1000 for his treas
ure. Think Of it-$25 900 for a cherry
seed
