Fly and quietly attired. He is probably the last person in the Centre college squad you would pick as "Bo" Me Millin.
 His favorite shirt is blue one with collar attached. He has fondnesS for red neckties. Blue and red, there you have a clash of colors, but "Bo" doesn't mind that.
 Yes, McMillin is su. erstitious. Most great athletes are. He always rides in berth No. z. The number on the back of his football jersey is always eleven.
 Get the idea, seven come eleven. A couple of naturals, crapshOOter's de- light.
 "Bo" refused to be interviewed as to whether or not he dabbled In Afri- can golf.
 Does "Bo' McAIillin regard himself as the Centre college hero, one of the big national figures in football? Judge for yourself from what he says:
 "This talk about the great 'Bo' Me Millin is all bunk" he says. "There are eleven men in every play. The Centre college team hasn't any heroes. On every football team there is some player who carries the ball oftener than another.
 "I occupied that position on the Centre college eleven. Such a player usually gets all the credit. The other ten players make 1t possible for him to carry the ball.
 "Centre has great team. The news hounds had to make someone the hero. They made me the goat. While I ap- preciate all the hOnors that have been conferred on me, l didn't deserve them.'
 There you have closeup of "Bo" McAIillin, as he looks and thinks.

NOT A MATTER FOR POLICE
Elderly Gentleman Meant We'll, but He Had Not Allowed for Pos
 sible Contingencies.

The wisest person may sometimes make a serious mistake by judging entirely by appearances, as is shown by this case.
 A careless young woman, in starting to leave car, dropped her purse A young man, who evidently intended to leave the car at the same time, saw her drop the purse, picked 1t up and put it into his pocket.
 But his action had not been unno- ticed. Just as he stepped from the car an elderly man gripped him by the arm and whispered: If you don't give that purse to the young lady this in- stant I'll expose you"
 "Yes, certainly" gasped the aston ished young man. Then, with a grin, q beg pardon, Marie; you dropped your purse"
 "Oh, thank you, Harry" she replied, as she took it.
 q hope you are satisfied" said Harry, turning to the elderly man. "The lady is my sister, Pittsburgh Dispatch.

ROAD : BUILDING
SCRUBBING-B0ARD SURFACES
Bureau of Public Roads Building Ex- perimental Highway to Deter
 mine Cause of Waves.
(Prepared by the United States Department
 of ACriculfure

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)
 What causes a "tarred" road to de. velop that peculiar scrubbing-board surface is a question that has been worrying the highway engineers quite as much as the ongsuffering public. As often as not the symptoms appear in a macadam road that has been treated with asphalt But the trouble Is largely confined to roads built with tar or asphalt. Concrete and brick roads never develop such a surface, and ordinary dirt roads seldom do.
 The bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agri- culture is building at the Arlington (va) experimental farm an experi- mental roadway 15 feet wide in an at- tempt to discover the cause Of the trouble. The road is laid out In the form of circle with 90-foot radius, and its circumference, 565 feet in length, is to be divided into sections, each of which will be surfaced with a different kind of asphalt or tarred surface.
 The experimental sections will be built exactly like actual road surfaces and when completed they will carry traffic" as much like actual traffic. as it Is possible to devise. The "traf- fic" will be supplied by a driverless motortruck which will be held to the circular path by means of long arm extending from the center. The course of the truck will be altered from time to time so that the entire width of the roadway will be travelled.
 It has not been possible to determine the cause by observation of actual roads because there are too many un- known quantities. The defect may be due to distortion of the earth under the road surface or to defects in the surface itself. It Is probably caused

Droppinq the Pilot.

MT. Old-Timer, Miss Knowall and Miss Wise stood at the rail of an out going steamer as it slowed up to let the pilot off.
 "Why are we stopping?" asked Miss Knowall.
 The Obliging Old-Timer replied, ITO drop the pilot"
 "Why are they letting him go?' Miss Wise wondered.
 Another case of incompetence, I suppose" Miss KnOwall suggested.
 "Well, it's lucky the captain found him out right away, before we got out any further into deep water" and Miss Wise heaved a sigh of relief Harper's Magazine

Millions of people have not only been relieved of the most obstinate forms of dyspepsia and indigestion by Tanlac after other remedies have failed, but large numbers of them have reported remarkable and rapid increase in weight and return to nor nal health and strength by its use.
 In fact, so phenomenal have been the gains in weight by thin, frail peo- pie through the use of Tanlac that this remarkable preparation is now being proclaimed everywhere as the Worlds Greatest Tonic.
 The food people eat does them ab- solutely no good unless they digest it properly. When you suffer from in- digestion and other forms of stomach trouble, the food does you harm in stead of good, because food which is not digested stays in the stomach and ferments, causing pains, swelling. gns on stomach. shortness of breath, bad taste in the mouth, dizziness and many other disagreeable symptoms. If this condition is permitted to run on for an indefinite period the entire

system becomes saturated with pol sons, the patient becomes thin and pale and in time various complications are apt to result.
 Tanlac is a powerful reconstructive tonic and quickly overcomes this con- dition by aiding Nature to eliminate the impurities from the system in a natural way and enable the vital or gans to properly perform their func- tions. That is why It is called Ma lures Medicine.
 In fact, there is not a single DOT tion of the body that Is not benefited by the helpful action of Tanlac, which begins its work by stimulating the al. gestive and assimilative organs, there by enriching the blood and invigorat- ing the entire system. Next, it en- ables the weak, worn-out stomach to thoroughly digest its food and convert the nourishing elements into bone, blood and muscle. The result Is you feel strong, sturdy and we'll with the proper amount of flesh, as Nature in. tended. Sold by all good druggists.

Beautiful Girl Mistaken in. Thinking She Had Made Impression on
 Attractive Stranger.

They sat together; total strangers. on the narrow seat of a Fifth avenue bus.
 She was beautiful and conscious Of it. And she felt his eyes upon her. She turned her lovely head and met his gaze. He was good to look upon. dark and virile, and in his clear eyes was look of question and pleading.
 She turned away, her young blood thrilling with the premonition of TO- nance and adventure
 Again she felt his longing but hes itant gaze fixed upon her averted face. She flashed him fieeting look of en- couragement.
 Emboldened, he bent toward her, his eager breath flaming her flushed cheek and whispered, hOarsely:

M'MILLIN SAYS HERO

Football Star Is Far From Ma

Ten Other Players on Centre College Team Made It Possible for "Bo" to Carry BalI-News Hounds
 Made Him Goat.

For three years 'Bo" McMillin has been one of the most talked about in dividuals in college football.
 In the eyes of many football enthus- lasts, McMillin is the last word, the big idol of the gridiron. Often one forms a mental picture of their hero. A great many football enthusiasts have never seen McMillin in person.
 If you have pictured McMillin as the collar ad type of athlete you are all wrong McAIillin is far from the matinee idol type. Neither would you pick him out of the crowd as the best dressed athlete on the Centre college eleven.
 "Bo" isn't strong on style. No fel- low could sport a name like that and pose as Beau Brummel." He wears no fancy Norfolk suit made out of some sporty cloth. He is always neat

Isn't it queer that Methuselah lives to be 969 years old, and many other men lived to be very aged in Bible times, without a woman living to be that old?'
