said a Montana man. "Without speaking
a word or moving a muscle he can tell

chooses to indulge In.
"Just to go around with his queque stuck

Loretta's Looking Glass-Held Up to the GirlWho is Fussy J
A delightfully written letter came to me
few days since. It was so charmingly
worded, and it held such a wealth of girlish
frankness, funnily, mixed, with an exuber
ance of girlish scorn and Impatience that I
had U. laugh. Bo, you. see, I bad a varied
enjoyment out' of It. It ta too' long to put
In here, and' I am sorry, for It is one of
the conmunlcatlbne , which makes me re
gret that I have not a whole page at, my
disposal. ... -,
However', this Is the gist of It: 'I oon
feas to the faults, that you flay. . I know
that I have nearly all of them. And It
. ami tarn rood to-be scolded for them." :But
sow comes the funny. "fussy, scornful part;
'"t never allow my finger nails to gather
fefrt under .heir rims."'
Vila girl owns up to stealing beau and
talking gossip. She acknowledges that she
flirts and aha wears hobble skirts. ' But
she keeps her" nail's clean. And she 'enters
Into a youthfully enthusiasts exposition of
the criminality or dirty nans, one oegs me
to write an awful lecture to the glrla who
dress' In their prettleat and have their hair
marcelled perfectly, then go to a dance
with dirt under their finger nAHs. Bh tells
bw she Keeps ners cm ro very anon um
,0twt can find any hospitality under their
' 'ffhut. J am not going to write about finger
&u:-1 am going to give a short disquisi
tion on the fussy' girl. I think she will be
one if she Is not already. Finger nails are
her fussy bobby.. But .something else wlu-r
succeed them. .. She, Is an. extremist.
And the only thing, which makes an ex
tremist, livable is - the , saving sense . of
humor, .which, I much -fear, .she has not.
Could, a girl who saw the funny side of
herself and her tusslness so sweetly . and
generously and cheerfully. Indeed with an
abandon that Indicated a real, enjoyment
acknowledge-, that she possessed all' the
faults that make girls bate- her, make men
ahuu her, make, women suspect her of
double-dealing-and then apply -the fact that
abo .had" always- cja flng-nsils -aa -a,
kind of-jaUve for all bar shortcomings!
You.-see. finger .nail fadffst, ryon bav-a
made, a fetich of a comparatively-Insigni
ficant ' matter. -1 know yeu actually form
your opinion of people on their finger nails.
And It's a terribly unsafe way of decidlng-
whether a man ta good or a girl true, " -I
hate dirt under finger 'nalla or any
place, on top of tbera or around them er
even In their neighborhood. But I am not
so fussily frantlo about It that I make It a
sign by which to Judge- people. Neither
does it seem to me cause for approving my
flirting or gossiping that I have clean finger
nails.
Wrty finger nails are not a crime. They
are Just an abomination. But some of the
faults you so amiably acknowledge are
criminal. They cut and slash hearts. 'They
wound and destroy reputations.' About the
only real harm finger nalla, clean or other
wist, can accomplish is to scratch. ' And
such assault would be legally avenged. ' But
the other faults, the gossiping, the lying, all
of them are the subtler misdemeanors which
deal Invisible but lasting harm and cannot
be reached for redress. -
.Don't be so fussy about your finger nails.
Tou may have holes in your stockings.
Another girl might hate you for that. Of
course, she would be another fussy girl If
she did.

Natives of the Tonga Islands considered
that to sneeae at the moment of setting
out on an expldition was fraught with
the most fatal results.
An old superstition prescribed that-If
those who. were affected with ague would
visit at dead of night the nearest cross
road five different times and then bury a
new-laid egg, the disease would be burled.
If the experiment failed, they attributed
It to some unlucky accident that may have

NEW TORK, June n Although the pro-

"painting the illy" and "adding a per
fume to the violet." yet we find women
actually embroidering the pattern on broo

spangling embroidery I For what? To put
on the front of a gown. For whatT To
please some "mere man," of course. (Dear
unselfish women.)

An instrument for measuring the force
of the wind was first contrived In 1667.

A Wise Elephant
J
X funny story is told ef an elephant in
a traveling circus. The animals stunt
was to drum on the piano with his trunk
while he sat before the instrument en a
stool. He looked odd. te say tbe least,
and the hideous noise be made was by
courtesy called music. One day he hit
the piano more heavily than usual and
smashed tbe keyboard. A pew one wae
purchased, and the next day the elephant
was led te the stool before the Instru
ment. He sat himself down, but Instead
of playing he groaned miserably. The
manager of the circus coaxed him to
play, but be only groaned. Finally be
was led out ef ths tent by the man
ager, who returned in a few minutes
with this excuse:
"Ladles and gentlemen, I regret that the
disobedience of Jumbo has caused you a
lose of pleasure; but unfortunately the
poor fellow discovered that the Ivory ia
