Clues to Character
BY J. o. ABER>ETHY
Jaw of Sta bility.

The jaw is the thing-that is. its
shape. not its use. 1t is the lower
jaw and It must be strong and show
its strength in its formation.
Persons who are dependable, who
refuse To be swayed in their judg.
ments when they have decided that
they are right, nearly always show
their force of character by strong,
powerfully shaped jaw.
Look at the people YOU meet on the
street, at gatherings or most any
place. and you will see that the man
or woman whose jaw from three
fourths of an inch forward from the
angle below the lobe of the ear is
broad, long or thick, has IA mentality
as well as Il physical body that cannot
be moved hither and yon like a
weather vane.
Men who are renowned for their
steadfastness for their strong opin.
ions and presistenCy-men like Wash
ington. Lincoln, Wilson and others
had powerful jaws.
In every man or woman who pos
sesses the strong jaw in the region
indicated. the faculty of stability is
well developed.

Stephenson and the G.. A. R.

The Grand Army of the Republic
is d living monument to Maj. Benja-
min Franklin Stephenson, for it was
the organization which he founded.
The gray shaft at Seventh street and
Louisiana avenue, erected in his hon
on. is a tribute OF these civil War
veterans, who We're assisted IN pro-
curing funds for the monument by
the WOmau'S Relief Corps and other
pa triotic organizations.
The Grand Army veterans of today,
gray and enfeebled by the hand of
time, are venerated by the entire ma
ton. Their military bearing, their
suits of blue, their broad brimmed
black felt hats with silken cords, and
their bronze badges made of cap
tured cannon have given them a
distinctive identity for three genera
lions. No patriotic celebration is
complete unless representatives of
the @. A. r. are present. Probably
40 organization of former soldiers
ever enjoyed its reunions more than
this one, nor is it likely that any Or
gHnization of its size ever held its
members in closer ties of comrade-
ship.
1t was in 1862, while Mai. Stephen
son was serving in the 1ith Illinois
Regiment that he first conceived the
idea that the men fighting side by
side and helping each other bear the
lardships OF war should be banded
together when mustered out of the
service. The conflict continued three
wears longer IN the long nights when

said - be OF his design.
The monument, originated by the
sculptor j. Massey Rhind, is q
triangular shaft of granite. A bronze
medallion on the front of the monu-
meut presents the profile View of
MAJ. Stephenson. Below him are
two large bronze c.. A. r. badges,
ore nodded so the reverse side is
seen. On one side of the shaft the
idea of fraternity is suggested by the
bronze relief of a soldier and sailor
standing together in defense and
serving under one flag. Charity is
monument by Z woman holding a cup
of cold water in one hand and pro-
tecting small child, standing partly
beneath her cloak, with the other.
The bronze showing Il woman with
sword in one hand md shield in the
other on the third side of the monu-
ment represents loyalty ready TO de-
fend the nation or to stri1.e at its
enemy with a blade of steel.
These principles of fraternity, char
ity and loyalty form the base upon
which the G. A. r. is founded. Fra

to these comrades TO know each other

AUTUMN
BY ID. &. PEATTIE.
Indian Summer.

After a particularly unkind October
come these lovely days OF Indian
Summer. In the old age of the year
Time smiles last wan farewell. Soft
weather, languorous as those days
that presage Spring, but with touch
of regret in it, brings the out-of-doors
tapping at our doors and windows,
calling us out to behold the last fling
of Autumn's glory.
st. Martins Summer they call 1t in
the Old World, but Europe, which
cannot boast any such glorious Au-
tumn ttnts as America, is equally in
ferior in it's Autumn weather. Indian
Summer, with its. garnered corntields.
ITS golden piles of pumpkins and
SquasheS on the farms, its blue wood
smoke curling up from yards where
leaves are raked and burned and
hearth fires lighted, recalls inevitably
the old red race that once roamed the
woods and hills of Maryland and Vir-
ginia. Just as that picturesque people
has vanished from this region, so
these gentle days bespeak the vanish
ing of Summers glory.
The last crickets chirp now from
the cold, stiff grass; squirrels are
busy laying in their Winter supplies
of nuts, the last bluebirds and
grackles and white throated sparrows
whistle farewell from the trees, the
old breast OF the earth gives up the
last of the warmth that all Summer
long it took from the sun and stored.
In all this blue haze upon the river,
in the cry of the wild geese stream
ing southwark in broken triangles, in
the languorous warmth, there is the
quality of a swan song, or of some
thing too beautiful to last long. And
so farewell, a long farewell to all the
seasons glory.
