One Word She Could Say.
An earnest London slum worker re

deavors to improve the accent and
vowel enunciation of her little
protege, Blanche, for tho sake of the
child’s future destiny “on the styge."
Once, failing in all else, she tried a

she smiled, teaslngly. *1 can say

8lzlng Him Up.
When you call the average young
man honest he is likely to feel a mild
sort of gratification. When you call
him competent his chest , begins to
bulge. When you call him a heart
breaker he slaps you on the shoulder
and gives you to understand that he
considers you a person of remark!W>

!| Certain rlrtuea are divided from
11 rices by so narrow a line that we must
j1 discern very clearly to see the differ
i ence. Few men can distinguish pride
Ij from vanity; perseverance from stub.
bomneas; economy from avarice. The
i same is true of courage as distin
guished from effrontery. The courage
eous man must have ambition, not
merely dream of what he would like
to have. The audacious nave been

pose*—Chicago American.
Not What She Meant.
The other evening at a aloud*
social function, opened with a gam* of
cards, the host caused quite a atlr
among the ladies present by anaouno
ing after the guests had seated them
selves at the tables: “If everybody**
•nade ud. we’ll start.’’ Self consciously
‘hey looked at one another and in
voluntarily their hands vent to tfe«lr
faces.

During the eighte?ath century Dr.

period, discovered the disease of the
spine which he called “vertebral ca^
ries,’’ or decay of the backbone. The
treatment ultimately prescribed was
plenty of pure food, sunlight, fresh
air and sleeping outdoors aH of the
time.

Little Frank’s nurse, when findln*
