face from ending toe abruptly.
But some perverse faces end
that way anyhow III fact,
chins, like wealth, are unevenly
distributed. Some of us have
too many and some none lit all.

This IS unfortunate, as the
chin is an~ almost indispensable

Gently went to Chicago to become gen.

Having been reared in Kentucky, and
being an old-fashioned Democrat, he
rather prides himself on the fact that
he has always lived in a state of JEFF

After the family had moved North
and taken a home, it was decided that
the household would not be complete
without a butler. An advertisement
was inserted In the paper inviting APP
plicants to call. Almost the first to
answer the advertisement was a dap
per negro. His references proving sat-
isfactory, it seemed probable that he
would be engaged.
"Does you 'spect me to wear nah

WOMEN MARTYRS TO CAUSE

In the American Magazine there Is a
story about a woman who wanted to
save her husbands love. The writer
says:
Instead of the Saturday night bath
in warm weather-Nancy learned to
take a cold bath every morning and a
hot n every night. A wicked waste
Of water from her point Of view, but
wasted in a good cause. Twice q day
she exercised for 20 minutes, until
every muscle in her body protested
painfully. Clad only in a loose Moth

an upright position. She stretched her
arms imploringly heavenward, protest

kicked, she hoped, she rolled, she per-
spired gallons; and she did 1t all I'M
complainingIy and with an expression
of logged determination that helped
to stimulate my own often waning en-

ever lived, or died, was more entitled
to the desired reward than Nancy.
Gladly would she have burned at the
stake, If by so doing she could have &C
complished her purpose"
