Clues TO Character
Sad Thinker and Dreamer.
BY J. o. ABERNETHY.

There are persons who never believe
in "a good time coming" They hard
~ think it worth while to commence
any project, so certain are they of
non-success. Every business enter
prise is, in their minds, foredoomed to
failure. They can see no hope in any
thing.
The chap who is melancholy, the sad
thinker and dreamer of sad, terrible
things, has a nose that turns down
ward. OF course, he may not be a
Dante, but he will be prone to give
way to gloomy forebodings, not only
about his friends, but of himself, and
it is almost impossible for him even to
see that proverbial silver lining. Slight
ailments are magnified as are misfor-
tunes.
No man could write of the Internal
regions with such VividnesS AS Dante
and not think and feel melancholy.
Thinking, feeling and writing of such
things are bound to have an influence
on ones features, and it is most strik-
ing in Dante
If you have never seen one, the very
next time you visit museum hunt
mp a picture of Dante, author of I'm
ferno.' You will see that his nose
turns downward--points straight to
his toes. What do you get from that?
The optimistic man, one who radi-
ateS sunshine, does not have a nose
that turns downward. Don't invite
the sad thinker, for he will be the
death and not the life of the party.

Warming Up and Charleyhorse.

Here's a bit of sound wisdom writ
ten by a doctor who wrote about 1,4OO
years before Harvey discovered the
circulation of the blood:
IF any one Immediately after I'M
dressing proceed to the more violent
movements before he has softened the
whole body and opened the pores, he
incurs the danger of breaking or
spraining some of the solid parts,
but if beforehand he gradually warm
and soften the solids and thin the
fluids and expand the pores, the per-
son exercising will run no danger of
breaking any part.
Galen refers to Opening the pores,
but remember that it was IA centuries
before the discovery Of the circulation.
People nowadays who speak of the
opening or closing of the pores have
no excuse for their error except igno-
rance.
The rupture or tear of muscle fberS
or even the tearing of muscle from
its attachment to bone or tendon in
some violent movement is called
charleyhorse Often it is possible to
feel a lump at the site of the tear or
rupture, or sometimes the lump may
be seen under the skin, and such
lump takes several weeks to disap-
pear. A scar remains at the point of
injury, and this scar may permanently
impair the full elasticity of the muscle.
Riders are most likely to have char
leyhorse at the junction of the adj
ductor muscles of the thigh with their

Nancy is in hard luck and she
grieves audibly about it. She's just
recently become engaged to Ronald
and borne him home in triumph to be
admired.
Ronnys rather a different type
from the usual run of boys she's
known. He's older, more sophisticated,
intelligent, cultured.
He sort of makes the other boys
and girls look a bit young and crude.
Nancy was tickled to death about
this. She thought every one would
turn out to admire her prize--not
another girl in her set had bagged
such a world-beater. Especially, she
thought her family would be pleased
and proud.
Well, they are pleased in a way.
There isn't thing to be said against
Ronny morally or mentally. He has
all the qualities of good husband.
Only-well Nancy has to admit 1t
herself-he doesn't seem to be popular
with her crowd or her family.
Not one of her friends raved the
way she had expected. Not one of
them noticed all the superior qualities
in her man.
she'd picked a winner. They seemed
youths.
Fretfully Nancy, demands: "Why?"
Perfectly simple. Easiest thing in
the world to explain. It's only human
nature that your crowd shouldn't
show too much appreciation of your
wonder man.
He puts them in the shade, doesn't
he? Makes them realize their own
shortcomings.
Well, that never made anybody
popular. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS genu-
ine-annoys smaller people.
Did you expect your girl friends
to eXclaim enthusiastically when they
saw you trotting off with something
better than they could land?
That's really too much to hope for
Girls will be girls. They don't want
you to feel too good. They don't
want to let you know just how en-
vious they really are.
They'll rave and shrek when Ella
tells them that she's engaged to
Tommy, a tried and true member of
the bunch"
They'll congratulate her heartily be-
cause they know that they'll do as
well themselves some day soon. But
they wouldn't give you the satisfac-
ton of hearing them praise Ronny.

more likely to have clearinghouse in
the tendon muscle junction of the
deltoid or scapular muscles about the
shoulder and shoulder blades.
Small tears or ruptures, perhaps of
microscopic muscle cells or fibers, &C
count for one form of muscle soreness
or lameness following violent effort.
The other cause of soreness is the
presence of irritating waste matter
imperfectly removed through the cir

an accident happens in athletics the
victim is most generally a casual or
occasional player, and has jumped into
the game with cold muscles. He has
failed to warm up properly.
1t is too much to hope that no one
will rejoin that what 1 here describe

declare can't happen, namely, taking

it that name as any other, if this

Dressing for Dinner.

The custom Of prescribed dress for

the day.
When guests were expected who
came from a distance and would have
no opportunity to change their
clothes before their arrival, such gar

them.

Butter-and- Eggs.

Such is the delectable title of the
little yellow and orange flower that
beauties vacant lots and roadside
bitches and railroad embankments. 1t
has some other names, such as toad
fax and Ramstead weed. Toadfiax is
harder to understand. The flax part
of 1t may be in allusion to the some
what fiaxlike leaves. AS for the
toad" have no guesses. Ramstead
weed is easier. This little plant
(bontanically, Linaria vulgaris) was a
common little countryside flower and
old-fashioned garden plant of Europe.
1t was brought to this country by a
Mr.. Ramstead Of Philadelphia. Had
the plant been content, like most
Philadelphians, with the City of
Brotherly Love. 1t would never have
earned the epithet of weed. AS it is,
it has scattered itself abroad to the
four corners of the country.
At it's worst it is but a very mild
weed, indeed. I know people who
like it so we'll that they have dug 1t
up and transplanted it. I think this
shows the true flower lover. They
know a beautiful flower when they
see it, even in a wayside ditch, and
do not have to order 1t from an expen-
siVe nursery in order to convince
themselves that it is lovely.
Sometimes the toadfiax, which is
normally a two-lipped flower, similar
to snapdragon, but with spur
reverts to what may we'll be some
ancestral shape. This condition is
known as peloria In peloria of toad
flax the irregular two-lipped shape
gives place to a perfect regular
corolla, each petal, instead of only
one, having a spur. When this hap
pens in some peoples gardens they
think they have bred a new flower
and feel CHESTER than Burbank. But
it is the commonest occurrence and
was first noted by no less a botanist
than the immortal Linnaeus almost
three centuries ago.

DUNDEE KAY0ES WALKER
Baltimore Battler Becomes Leading Contender For Wcltcr Crown Worn By Pete Latzo.

New York, June 25 P)-Joe Dun dec hard hitting welterweight from Baltimore, has become the leading challenger for the title now held by Pete Latzo, of Scranton, Pa. by scoring technical knockout over Mickey Walker of Elizabeth, N. J., in eight rounds.
 Many predicted q victory yet few foresaw that the Baltimorean would make it so decisive in a bout sched- uled for } rounds at Madison Square Garden last night In 1919 Phil Delmont knocked out Mickey Walker in one round but until last night no other boxer had forced him to quit before the end of the scheduled number of rounds.
 Last night Mickey was not the boxer he had been and he entered the ring with q badly damaged eve which served as target for Dun dee's sturdy drives, After the first round Dundee had all the better of it and blood flowed from the wound SO freely that in the eighth the ref cree stepped between the men and declared the Baltimore slugEer the winner although Walker seemed strong. Boxing writers agreed that the referees action was proper.
