III. ? How to Keep Young.
YOUNG Mrs. Itolllns was dressed
for the opera when Colonel
Snwxl, her father, cutered. Tho
old gentleman threw up his
hands In mock astonishment and
chuckled with delight.
"My, my. my, child," he exclaimed,
"you look as tine as the queen of
Sheba! And I'll bet." he added, "you're
a doggone sight prettier. Turn around,
honey, and let me get u sort of pano
ramic view of you."
With an indulgeut smile Mrs. Rol
lins revolved.
"The more 1 look the better I like
it," said the colonel. "Rut the wrap
pin' isn't any too good for what'9 in
side of It. And that reminds me that
I haven't kissed you yet. You dazzled
me so I plum forgot. Kind of turn your
cheek up to one side so I won't muss
anything. There, now. Rut? but"?
The colonel was running the end of
his tongue over his lips, and there was
a puzzled expression on his face.
"What's the matter, papa?" asked
Mrs. Rollins, with twinkling eyes.
"The brand don't seem quite famli
lar," be answer
ed. "What la It,
honey '!"
"Oh, It's Just a
little touch of
rouge, daddy:
that's all."
"Uuh!" grunt
ed the colonel.
"I thought so.
It e g 1 n n 1 a* to
!>iiint the Illy al
ready, are you?
Well, I don't take
much stock In
artitlclal colors,
but 1 reckon the
principle's all
right. You see
but. by the way.
where's William?
l>ressln', eh? Just
got home? I'm
"DOS T SKKM QUITE afraW thnt boy 13
familiar. workln" too hard.
Think I'll sit down and chat with you
anyhow until be comes down.
"As 1 was golu' to remark, little
girl." resumed the colonel after he had
arranged himself comfortably In the
big armchair. "I've got some rather
peculiar notions about keepln" young.
I'm a long ways from being an old
man yet, but I've been around hero a
considerable time, and maybe I can
give you some pointers on what every
woinnu wants to Unow.
"1 reckon you've heard that old song
about a woman bein' as old as she
looks, while a man's just as old as he
feels. WeU, there's some truth In the
distinction, for looks have a whole
lot more to do with a woman than a
man; but. all the same, It's the foelln'
that counts In the long run, and It
counts just as much for one sex as
It does for the other. You're goln' to
be young, honey, Just as long as you
feel young, and if you feel young the
looks will take care of themselves.
Now, there's a good deal more In that
statement than ! can work out for you
while William's gettln' Into his dress
shirt, but it all simmers down to this?
that the way to keep young Is to quit
growin' old. That's what they call a
KKEI'IXO VOCNO.
paradox, ain't it? Huh! Well, I don't
care what you label It, It's the right
formula.
"Of course you understand I'm not
talkin* about years; I'm talkln' about
looks and feelln's. I've got to admit
that time has some influence, but It's
only relative. I know a fellow down
town who's thirty-five years old and
be acts like he was about ten. There's
such a thing as keepin* too doggone
young, you know. I've seen women
that way too. Then there's another
fellow I know who ain't 'over forty
and he's dyln' of old age right now.
So you see, honey, the calendar don't
count in the game as much as people
Imagine. It's the looks and feelln's,
but principally the feelln's, that make
you old or keep you young.
"Aud you need Just two things, lit
tle girl, to keep you feelin' young.
I've been keepin* them a secret, savin*
them for you. One of them is what
Is called a stiff upper lip; the other's a
straight back. One Is a mental atti
tude toward life; the other's a phys
ical condition. A nmu or a woman
with a stiff upper lip don't get dis
couraged. dou't get the blues, don't
worry about trifles. When a black
cloud comes along she grabs it and
turns It around so the silver ilnla*
will show; siie finds out what her duty
la and docs It without klckln' up any
fuss about It; sbc don't make moun
tains out of molehills nor cross
bridges until sbc gets to them, and If
there's any fun goln' on In her neigh
borhood she's goln' to have her share
: of It without makln' a fool of herself.
"Now, did you ever see anybody
tvlth a straight back who was really
old? I mean old in heart and mind?
No, slree, you never did. Keep your,
backbone straight, honey, whatever
you do. The minute it begins to sag
or bend that very minute old age
starts down the road to meet you.
It's easy enough to keep it straight
now, while your years are few, but
after awhile you'll begin to feel like
lettln' your shoulders droop, and if
1 you let them do it. why, pretty soon
your cheet will go tn, and your
stomach will push out, and tho wrln
"mountains out or molehills."
kles 'II beglu to multiply. You'll look
olil, and, what's more, honey, you'll
feci old. The backbone was made to
support your head, and when the sup
port begins to get wabbly you can't
brace up the superstructure with tol- |
let creams.
"Not that I'm against toilet creams;
bless your life, no. I believe In a
woniau lookln' as handsomo as she
can as long as she can, and when I
see one of sixty, as I do every day
or so over home, mnssagln' her neck
and rubbln' goose grease, or whatever
It Is, Into her cheeks, why, 1 glory In
her spunk. But? and I want you to
get this straight In your mind, honey
?if she didn't have a straight back
and a stiff upper lip she wouldn't be
doln' that sort of thing. When your
spinal column begins to droop you be
gin to quit carln' much about your
looks. If you haven't got enough am
bition to hold your shoulders back
you're not goln' to have enough to
rub the crow's feet from the corners
of your eyes, and the only thing you
can do is to get some red and white
paint and cover up the cracks. But
paint, my dear, won't keep you young.
It's all right in an emergency. I be
lieve every woman ought to have a
little paint on her toilet table for use
when there are dark circles around
her eyes and no color In her cheeks
and she's compelled to go out In com
pany? when she s
sick. Id fact, and
don't want to
show It; then 1
think 1 1' b all
right to put up a
good straight
bluff. Out, honey,
don't you get tho
notion lii your
head that you've
got to swab
around with a
paint brush every
time you go out.
No man ever put
a color In a jar
that was any
where near as
"i oiiORY in hkb fine as the tints
spunk." that nature puts
In a woman's face, and If she don't
keep 'em burled uuder artificial pig
ments they'll stay with her as long as
she holds herself erect with face to the
front and gets all the Joy she can out
of life. A straight back and a stiff
upper Up, little girl, beat all the cos
metics on earth."
THOSE ESKIMO MURDERERS.
Explorer Rasmussen Defend* the No
torious East Greenlanders.
Kuud Rasmussen, the Danish sci
entist, who supports Dr. Cook's claim
as to the discovery of the north pole,
has wrltteu a book on life among the
Eskimos which has established his
reputation as an authority.
Rasmussen tells some weird stories
about the horrible murders practiced
by these Eskimos in their earlier days,
but in summing up their general char
acteristics he adds:
"I have never In the course of my
travels lived with more cheerful, more
amiable and good humored people than
these east Greenlanders, who, hud they
lived In a civilized state, would have
paid the penalty of the law for most
horrible murders."
And ugain, speaking of the Eskimos
as a whole, he says:
"There Is no people with a history
which, as regards the bitterness of its
struggle for existence and the eerlness
of Its memories, can be compared with
the best of the Eskimos. Yes, they are
good uatured and filled with a desire
for peace In spite of all. But do not
forget that they are, first and fore
most, men, and men formed by the na
ture surrounding them. The mind of
the Eskimo can be quiet and serene,
but it can be savage and remorseless
as the ocean Itself."

Bill, after 11 frantic search, said, with

The conductor, surprised, looked un

mingled rage and chagrin that changed
to a sickly smile as he caught sight of
Uobson's face, crawled awkwardly
forth.
What There's Time For.
Lots of ttmo for lots of things.
Though It s said that tlinc has wings;
There Is always time to And
Ways of being sweet nnd kind.
There is always time to share
Smiles and goodness everywhere;
Time to send the frowns away, '
Time a gentle word to say.
Time for helpfulness and tlmo
To assist the weak to climb.
Time to give a little llower,
Tlmo for friendship any hour,
Hut there Is no tlmo to spare
For unklndness anywhere.

Hussell Lowell as a small boy went
out one Halloween night to look for
ghosts. I wonder which stone he was
hiding behind and If he really did Ree
a ghost."
"I can't tell you, ma'am," auswored
the guide, "but over here lies a man
who had three wives. On the stone of
the first one he had Inscribed, 'My
Wife;' on the stone of t tic second, '.My

'My Beloved Wife.' If any ghosts try
walking nround here it ought to be
that first wife."
