Movie Workmanship.

One day last week my attention
was attracted by a crowd that had
collected near the Public Library. On
approaching l saw that the attraction
was a large bulldog. evidently OF good
breed. fastened by a leather strap to
the railing OF the areaway Of the
public comfort station. His eyes were
bloodshot. he frothed at the mouth,
and his limbs trembled convulsively.
AS he staggered around the post to
which he was fastened he would fall
from time to time over the coping and
hang suspended in his harness over
the areaway steps. From this posi-
ton he would be pulled back by a
colored man. who appeared to have
him in charge
He's poisoned. said one. "The
fire engines frightened him into fit."
said another Hes mad" said a
third. A policeman was on hand and
rIept the crowd back. but seemed un-
certain about what to do with the
dog.
Finally In one of his falls over the
coping the dog slipped from his leash
and fell into the areaway. With a
mad dog loose and unmuzzled. l
thought 1t time to beat a retreat. SO
l went into the Library.
When l came out a few minutes
later I found that the policeman had
shot the dog. He shot seven times" "
said a small boy. disgustedly, land
only hit him twice" Evidently a
better brand Of craftsmanship is de-
manded by small boys.-C. X, ass

Ella: Your walking Of six miles
day is a practice I wish were
more popular. although ] might be
out of a job IL every woman and
girl did 1t. There would be few
complaints on being too fat. too
thin, on complexion and hair
troubles. Now any young woman
who has the good sense to hike
every day certainly should give
no ear to unfriendly advice and
warnings that 1t will do harm.
When you are older. instead of be-
ing what your friendly enemies
prophesy. you will be giving them
the laugh as they waddle along
and can't keep up more than a
block or two with you. You stick
to it, and try to persuade them to
join you.
Lashes: Yes. the eyelashes fall
out just as the hair on your head
does. But new ones replace the old.
SO there's nothing to worry about.
Carrie: Yes. you can get rid of
the plmples IL you will follow in
structions on diet and personal hy-
giene, for which I shall ask you to
send me stamped addressed en-
velope. 1t takes a little time, to be
SUR, but then what is a month or
six weeks or two months IL your
unhappiRess will be dispelled for a
little patience and effort?

Is Marriage a Failure2
Far from II.

Before we decide on the success
or failure of any institution we
really should get together and agree
on what We are going to require OF
1t. IL we are expecting of marriage
that it make everybody happy, II
probably falls far short of a IOO
per cent success. The conclusion
that marriage Is therefore a failure
Is scarcely JUSTIFIED. We don't call
business a failure even thought II
fails to make all of us rich. Nor
do We call business a failure just
because. we are told, the average
life of individual businesses is
about seven years.
The aim of what We call business
Is to get the work of the world
done. and 1t should be Judged from
that point of view. The object of
marriage we can probably assume
to be the carrying on Of the race.
IL that Is true. II can be rated as a
bowling success.
1t may be true. as some say, that
we have not given other methods a
fair trial. We may by experiment
work out something better just as
some hope to improve on the econ
oniic system. Even II We do, II will
not mean that marriage is a failure.
Far from II. Any Institution that
can point to several centuries of un.
broken production without even a
Threatened break 10 far from be-.
Ing failure. ]. X. b.
