HORSES LOVE THE SMITH*
Endearing Terms Used Led Massa

polite to animals that they go to him
of their own accord Julian Sneed is

“Now, dear," in the softest of

Whatever the passerby might think

"I had a little lesson several weeks
ago." remarked the man with Hie gray
mustache, “and it called me in good
shape.”
“Go ahead,” said the stout man.
“I was in the garage where I keep
my ear and happened to overhear a
conversation among the boys. A cer
tain man had been injured while trav
eling abroad—very badly Injured, It
was reported—and one of the boys
was telling the others about it. ‘The j
story in the paper says he can’t get :
well,’ the youngster went on ‘Did |
you know him, Pete?’ And the boy ad I
dressed promptly replied, ‘Sure, I ,
know th' old grouch.’ Say, that hit i
me pretty hard. Here was a leading \

"That’s worth considering,” said ths

“Good text,” said the first man.
“Good sermon,” said the other.
New Women of Persia.
Persian women are essentially fern
inine. They want our dress, our edu
cation, our freedom, our happiness.
Dress, It will be observed, comes
first in the catalogue of feminine
wants, but a change of dress or coif*
fure seems essential to all revolution
ary movements.
In Teheran, In place of the face veil

an now wears a smalt square of black
aet or woven horse hair; her shoes
have high heels; a European skirt
has taken the place of the short skirt
and narrow trousers; the head ker

How the Eiffel Tower Moves.
That the Eiffel Tower moves dally
In a vertical and horizontal sense has
long been beyond doubt. Apart from
the scientiBc laws of expansion and
contraction, which Inevitably affected
it, one could see it during a gale sway
ing from side to side. But its vertical
movements were a mere matter of
oonjecture until M. Guillaume under
took to investigate them. He shows
that the great iron structure may vary
an inch in height every day. The ele
vation or depression is not equally dis
tributed, as only one of Its sides may
bo affected by the rise or fall of the
temperature, and thus the tower may
be compared to a person shifting his
weight alternately from one foot to
(he other.
Feetival of Old Maids.
flt. Catherine’s Day, the festival of
old maids, was celebrated gaily in the
Rue de la Palx, Paris.
It is the custom In Paris dress mate
lag establishments for the workgirls
on November 25 to crown with white
caps those comrades who, during the
year, have reached the age of 25. Thd
other girls put on caps of various
kinds, and carry sprigs of orange blos
som. During the afternoon, if the head :
of the business is generous, they drink I
the health of the old maids in cham- j

“How did you find the roads up

CHARM HARD TO ANALYZE
Its Presence Easily Felt, but Descrtp*
tlon Will Be Found a Thing
of Soni! Difficulty.
Over half of our American girls
work They stand behind counters,
bead over machines, sit at desks, and
march, militant figures, in the proces
sion of industries that seem to block
the road to girlish grace and light
heartedness and freedom from care
One woman who has worked among
and written books about and found
Inspiration in the working girl says
that charm sometimes drifts down,
unawares, a thing ephemeral, a gift
of the gods to the gi-t who has had to
work so hard tl.«c she has had no
time to think about her lack of
beauty
“1 wish 1 knew wherein charm Meg;
but I don't know although I’ve stud
ied It and tried to analyze It as much
as most folks have, T suspect. Tn
books. In pictures. In people. In places.
I've met many, many kinds of cha’-m;
but I’ve never been able to say just
what It. was that charmed me. Cer
tainly It was never mere beauty, nor
mere Intelligence, nor mere cheerful
ness. nor mere kindliness. I've seen
beauty that bored, and listened to
cleverness that repelled, and met. with
cheerfulness that was Inane and with
kindliness that was exasperating
Charm Is a gift of the gods, and it
cannot be wooed like fame, nor won
like money, nor bought like titles, nor
developed like patience, nor seized
like a prize o' war. If It comes, it
comes; and it’s thought on too
much, it files away. And there's an
end on it "--Mother's Magazine
LE3S0M FROM THE PROFESSOR
Did Gentleman Wit Perfectly Con
vinced That the Yyungster Was
Competent to Give It.
The old gentleman wondered whom
tho young couple had got to, for It
»as getting iate. He rather suspect
ed they had wandered out into the
garden, ao he wended his steps in
that direct ion. He soon came across
‘he young people, and found them in
» most interesting attitude. The
roung mart had the fair girl clasped
'n both his arms, and was kissing her
is if he hadn't tasted such a dainty
'or at. least five minutes.
The old gentleman watched the
ovculatory performance to the finish—
which he found to be somewhat weary
work—and ’hen made his presence
mown
“Isn't it very late for you young
people to be out?" he said.
“It Is—!s ra’her, pa.” faltered ths
r*ir girl; “but—but Mr. Popple ha*
been glv—giving me a lesson in as—
astronomy."
“My stars!" efacula’ad the old gen
tleman "He has, and no mistake! J
myself saw him teaching you how the
Great Bear hugs."
Then the young couple looked so
foolish that the old gentleman shut
his eyes out of sheer compassion.
Poet’s Memory Lives.
The saying “Christmas comes but
once a year" Is attributed to Thomas
Tussar, a medieval poet (1524-1580),
wbo seems to have been strong on
epigrams. The same idea may have
occurred to others, but Tusser gave
It expression. He was classed as aa
agricultural poet, partly because he
had not much education and partly
because he treated simple themes^
which he understood In a plain and
simple way. Taseor had an ear for
music, and served to order as chor
ister In some churches of his day.
His first publication was entitled “A
Hundred Good Points of Hus ban A
rte. ana later ne puousnoa a nu*
dred Good Points of Husbandrle Late
|jr Married Unto a Hundred Good
Points of Housewifery," and still later
this was amplified Into "Fire Hun*
dred Good Points of Husbandry Unlb
ed to as Many of Good Housewifery,*
Reprints of these boks are still e»
bant with an autobiography of the au*
thor in verse. Southey, himself a
critical poet, characterized Tusser as
“a good, honest, homely, useful old
rhymster.” Some of Tusser’s phrases
have passed Into proverbs.
Looking to the Future.
The beautiful lady consulted her
attorney, and was received with bows
and smiles.
“I am glad to tell yon.” said the
legal gentleman, “that your breach
of promise suit has already produced
results. The defendant has offered to
compromise by marrying yon."
“That salts me," declared the bean*
tltol lady. "I’d rather do that thaa
stand a chance of losing a suit. Weil
you have done beautifully. What da

“‘Shall we say fSOOT”
"We shall not That to altogether
