Psychoanalysls.

The wistfuI bit of a girl sat in the car near her mother, a stout, comfort able, southern type of nanny" Her frizzy black hair was braided in three tiny pigtails which barely reached be- low the nape of her thin little neck. Her coffee-colored face was small and piqnant, with lips that reminded one of huge overripe cherries. Her large, dark eyes sparkled and rolled around as she eagerly looked out at the pas sing objects.

TRICKS USED BY JUGGLERS
Easy by the Use of Specially Devised Apparatus.

Not all the tricks you see performed by professional jugglers on the music hall stage are genuine. says a writer In London paper.
 Take, for instance, the familiar one which consists of rolling a ball back ward and forward along a round, smooth walking-stick
 Apparently this is a marvellous feat of balancing, but really it is quite simple. The stick. a professional prop" is slightly grooved, so that the ball will not fall off Needless to say, the stick is held so that the groove is invisible to the audience.
 Sometimes an umbrella" Is substi- tuted for a stick. But it is not the real thing. It is an imitation umbrel- la made of wood and grooved like the stick. Two kinds of these fake um-

breIIas are used 0y jugg1ers-one for ball rolling, the other, more deeply grooved, for balancing the brim of a top hat
 Another balancing feat that often excites wonder and amazement is that which consists in keeping two billiard balls placed one above the other on the top of a billiard cue. This feat, it may be said at once, cannot be done without resort to trickery. It never has been done, and it may safely be asserted that it never will be done with genuine billiard balls and cue.
 Most jugglers use imitation billiard balls for this trick. These are made of boxwood and enameled so as to look exactly like the genuine article. But when they are being made they are either slightly dattened or else weight ed in such a way that they almost bal ance themselves. If real billiard balls are used, as they are sometimes-they are "doctored" in a similar way.
 Bottles for balancing on the edge of a plate are made of wood, grooved, and weighted at the bottom. The h.

while Columbus and Toledo, Ohio are back to 95R6 of normal, Of all the cities in these western central states our figures show that Dayton, Ohio, with it's 15O,OOO people, is today the most prosperous.
 "An analysis of the 1922 sales prospects in these particular sections furnishes ground for discriminating optimism. As the year develops, confidence will return first in one section and then in another. Re turning confidence will be reflected in increasing sales. During the early months business will be best in the northeast. As the year progresses the south and central western states will become more prominent as markets. 1922 will be a fairly good year for we'll directed salesmanship. You need not complain of business

ExpIainIno the Garden of Eden.

At irregular intervals the contro- versy over the existence of the Gar den of Eden Is revived Sometimes 1t gets warm, but In later years 1t seems to have lost much of its bitterness.
 It recalls the remarks on the sub- ject attributed to John Wesley Wood in, a preacher of much originality, well known to Clevelanders of forty odd years ago. AS nearly as his words can be recalled MT. Woodin said:
 Some say there wasn't no Garden of Eden. The Bible says there was. Some say we don't understand what the Bible means when it says there was. AS for me, all I got to say Is, If there wasn't no Garden, where are we goin' to look for original sin? So l listen to 'em talk this way and l listen to lem talk that, and when they get through I say, Whats all this fussing got to do with the plan of salvation anyway And that's where I stand, and stand fast t!'-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

There was no room telephone in the Jacksonville hotel chamber in which we nighted for a single night. But there was a push bell with. a card over 1t that said: Ring once for Ice water 1; twice for bell boy; three times for a chamber maid four times for porter"
 We desired ice water and tried to make our wants known. After half an hour, which is pretty good time for a southern hotel, a porter presented him. self and looked around for baggage.

dIan clubs used by jugglers are spe- cially made of very light wood, and hollow at that. Even the lighted can. dies with which they play all sorts of tricks are not really candles.
 Of course, this does not mean that there is no skill shown in juggling, even after making all allowances for faked props" In fact some tricks, such as "cascading" or "showering'' a number of balls in the air. or perform ing a similar feat with plates, cannot be faked at all.

One thought Of q sweetheart he'd left In town
Happy and young and gay.
One kissed a ringlet Of thin gray hair.
One kissed a lock Of brown.
Bidding farewell 20 the stars and stripes;
just as the sun went down.
One knew the Joy OF a mothers love.

Thinking Of home they lay aide by side.
