How easy if. is to tell others, it's

Occasionally a full-bearded man
t ills a bare-faced lie.
Fortunately stupid people seldom
r^alite how stupid they are.
Pleasures we anticipate seldom
come up to the specifications.
One reason that the South is so
solid is that most of it is no longer
'quid. _
According to a Kansas philoso
pher, .the . reason why boys leave
t tie farm is that Willie’s calf grows
up to be pa’s cow.
Rabbits are suggested as a sub
stitute for turkey oh Christmas, but
who could be convinced that it was
really Christmas?
When a girl tries to dodge a kiss,
she manages to do it in such a way
t hat enables her to catch it right
where she wants it.
The person with the audacity to
aim that there is no he.’ never
i ;d time as a devil around a coun
t y print shop on press day when
t iings were going wrong.
A well known woman author is
i ported to have said that women
ve more deeply than men. Nec
fsarily, for the man in love is the
shallowest thing amaginable.
The indignant manner in which
l-.iding European statesmen deny
they are even thinking of peace
would seem to imply that they had
b en accused of something dread
ful.
British statesmen who are dis

Col. Roosevelt is going to Fiji,

Republican campaign orators

li xt the orators acted with wisdom
failing to mention the*date.
The boy who is taught to keep

Our advice to a girl is that she
v. 11 never be happy if she marries
a man who is in any way unappre

U-e favors are the other way about.

Juvenile Logic.
Lester, age five, was saying his eve
ning prayer at his mother’s knee, and
she was aiding him with suggestions.
"Bless and take care of the little
lambs of the flock,” she said.
Now, Lester knew that he was in
cluded among the lambs, and he rea
soned that his parents should not be
forgotten. “Bless and take care of
the little lambs of the flock,” he re
peated—then added: "And I guess.
Lord, you had better keep an eye on
the old sheep, too."
Limited Practice.
The lecturer spoke slowly, almost
painfully, as one not gccustomed to
talking.
“Not much of a speaker,” observed
a man in the gallery.
“No wonder,” replied the occupant
of an adjoining seat, ‘file’s been mar
ried for more thun thirty years.”
The Aftermath.
Omar—Didn’t I see Doctor Doscm’s
machine at your door yesterday?
Heinle—You probubly did.
Omar—Anything serious?
Heinle—I should say so. He want
ed to collect a bill I have owed him
for nearly two years.
Why the Rainstorm Follows
the Thunder and Lightning
Why does a heavy downpour of rain
often follow a clup of thunder? Not,
as is popularly believed, becuuse the
thunder jostles the cloud purtlcles to
gether into raindrops. In the violent
turmoil "between fheposltlve and n7r(m
tive electricity In a thundercloud there
will be places where the production of
drops, by condensation, and their sub
sequent breaking up proceeds more
rapidly than elsewhere. Hence in these
places there will be more drops to fall
as rnin, and nlso more electrification,
the rainfall occurring about the same
time as the flash. We have, then,
starting toward the eartli at the same
time, light, sound, and raindrops. The
light, traveling at a speed of about
180,000 feet per second, reaches us
almost instantly. The sound travels
far more slowly—about 1,000 feet per
second—but the rain falls much slow
er still. Thus we observe, first, the
lightning, then the thunder, and then
rain.—Popular Science Monthly.
(beat Cause of Baldness.
Men cut their hair short and women
do not, und it is a popular impression
among nion that cutting the hair in
creases the growth. If it does, it must
be a very limited aid to growth, says
the American 'Magazine'. The real
causes of baldness In men, according
to those who have carefully studied
the subject, are the hats they wear.
Women also wear hats, hut theirs are
fastened to their hair and do not grip
the head. The tight-fitting hats men
wear interfere with the nourishment
of the roots of the hair. They com
press certain arteries, veins and
nerves, with the result that the hair
is retarded in its growth. The main
vessels carrying nourishment to the
roots of the hair are in front of the
ears on the underside of the skin
and are easily compressed between
the skin and the skull.
