TAKE IT BACK
Every one of us has at some
time been, annoyed ou looking for
something to find that some one
had borrowed' it and had not re
turned i* or had returned it in such
bad condition It was unfit for use.
■And almost every one of use has
been guilty at some time of bor
rowing something and keeping it
too long. ; I !'
Let ua set a day in our mind
rcr "take, it bock diay," and otn
tha* day return, or replace every
thing we hay© borrowed. It would
not hurt most of us to have such
■a day at least once a month.
I do not mean by that to leave
everything you hav§ borrowed until
then to return. Of course not, but
simply on that day to look over your
•'hjngs, and take back those things
that you "always seemed to forget."
So if we each' one try to take
back every thing promptly and in
a3 good condition, as when we get
it .the world will bo much happier
place to live to.
Neither a borrower or a lender
be; i
For loan, oft lopee botti jtself and
friend _ ■* : \
And borrowing dulls the edige of
husbandry. . .

" A. Yocum, retired carpenter,

says: "Hard work such' as lifting
heavy timbers strained my back and
weakened my kidneys. I had pains

it hard fox m? to stoopi over or
pick up anything. The irregular

SHE ASKED FOR CANDOR.
And Now Ha Wondera What Would
Hava Happened Had 8ha Got It.
A woman with a birthday In eight
Bpoke earnestly to three men who were
her friends.
"Tomorrow will be another birthday
for me," she said. "I know the fresh
ness of my youth has departed, but I
should like to know Just how old I ap
pear in the eyes of the world. Tell
me, my dear friends, If you were look
ing on me for the first time what
would be your Impressions?"
Said the first man glibly: "1 have
known you for several years, and you
appear the same as when I first saw
you. Your beauty is undlmmed; your
charm is undiminished. If I did not
know otherwise I should say tomorrow
would be your twentieth birthday."
Said the second man more slowly: "I,
too, have known you for several years,
but it seems to mo you have been fa
vored by time. Your beauty has rip
ened and deepened until now you, who
were once a lovely bud, are a lovelier
rose in bloom. I should count tomor
row as the beginning of your twenty
fifth year."
"And you?" queried the woman of
the third man, who had been regarding
her with clear eyed frankness.
"Between friends there should always
be truth," he replied gravely. "I ac
knowledge your beauty and your charm,
and both have been wonderfully pre
served In a semblance of youth. But
you ask for candor, and you Bhall have
it. Looking at you closely, I should
not expect you to see thirty—after to
morrow."
The woman faced the three men who
were her friends, and her eyes were
gleaming while her cheeks' pink turn
ed to crimson. She pointed an accus
ing finger.
"You have lied," she said tremulous
ly, "and you also. But I will forgive
you both because you lied to please me.
But you"—she whirled toward the last
speaker—"you are a barbarous egotist
You have wounded me in order to
maintain your own reputation for ve
racity. Truth, indeed! Your honesty
offends me. We are no longer friends.
Go—and quickly!"
"Whew!" exclaimed the third man as
he strode through the outer darkness.
"I wonder what would have happened
to me if I had really told her the
truth?"—Ella Randall Pearce in Life.
LIMBS AND THE MAN.
Lengths In Fingers, Hands and Arms,
the Span and the Stride.
If the forefinger is bent so that each
joint may be measured separately
they will be In the proportion of 1, 1%,
2 and the distance from knuckle to
wrist four times the length of the first
Joint If the finger Is straightened
out the distance from the wrist to
finger tip will be seven Inches, suppos
ing the nail joint to be one inch. The
span with thumb and forefinger will
then be eight inches and an inch long
er with any of the three other fingers.
From wrist to elbow will be ten
Inches, from elbow to forefinger sev
enteen, and from collar bone to fore
finger thirty-two.
Bailors extend the arms fully and
call the distance a fathom, though a
man standing with bis back to a wall
can stretch only about his height If
he tries to measure a tree by reaching
around it his fathom will hardly be
more than five feet
The normal pulse beats seventy-two
to seventy-five times a minute In
health, and normal respiration is eight
een a minute.
The pace is called thirty Inches,
though few mini can without practice
take a hundred consecutive steps of
the same length. It is better to de
termine the length of the regular pace,
or, rather, the number of steps re
quired to cover a given distance, walk
ing naturally, than to attempt to take
an artificial pace of an unnatural
length. The average man pacing
thirty inches, 10S steps a minute, cov
ers three miles an hour. The soldier
marches 120 steps a minute, or at the
rate of 3.4 miles an hour, but this is
rapid going and regular halts are
made. A ten minute halt every hour
would reduce the distance covered to
2.84 miles each hour.—Outing.
Wit Not Appreciated.
. Stubbs was feeling his way to the
kitchen stove in the dark when he fell
over the coal scuttle.
"Oh, John," called Mrs. Stubbs
sweetly, "I know what you need. You
should get what they have on battle
ships."
"What's that?" growled Stubbs as be
rubbed his shins.
"Why, a range finder."
And what Stubbs said about wo
man's wit was plenty.
Old Trinity.
Old Trinity, as it is familiarly known,
at Wall street and Broadway, in New
York, is not so old as churches go. The
first Trinity was erected on the site In
1097 and burned in 177G. And the sec
ond became unsafe in 1846, when it
was demolished and the present church
built—New York World.
Like Father, Like Son.
''Willie, do you like your teacher?"
"Nawl She's an old crab."
"Wjillie, how dare you speak about
your teacher that way? Don't you
know that Is disrespectful?"
"What's wrong with It? Isn't that
what you tell ma your boss is?"—De

Fame.
Faroe is easily acquired. All you
have to do is to be In the right place
at the right time and do the right thing
in the right way—end then advertise It
