a morose little typist who had the faculty

with her little masterpieces of smooth
talk."
"It's all right to be a standpat," argued
her chum, "but there, are always a .few
despicable ones. I like to keep shy of

Usually they have some little deal up their

Marching Hard Work
People are apt to think soldier very poor
walkers because an army on the march
covers only ten or twelve miles of ground
per day. Even then a good many men fall
out through fatigue, some faint, and the
whole are completely done up at the end of
the day.
But the soldier Is. vertheless, a first
rate .walker, says the Philadelphia In
quirer. It is all a matter of foot-tona of
energy expended. Take an ordinary la
borer, and his day's work will be equal to
300 tons lifted one foot high. An average
man. walking seventeen mile on the level,
doc the same amount of muscle work.
But mark. If he carries an overcoat weigh
ing six pounds, he does 311 foot-tona
Now the soldier is a regular pack-herit.
and the kit that he carries averages about
sixty pounds In weight. 5o that he does
exactly as much work In a twelve miM
march as an ordinary man In hi seven -teen
mile walk. Besides, the soldier has to
"break camp" before starting, and at the
finish of the march he ha to pitch camp,
draw water, collect fuel, clean rifle, etc .

Why One
Whenever you meet a f Irl whose present
glory 1 based on a much vaunted family
tree, a hazy lot of rich relative and con
stant reference to Influential friend, you
want to begin a verification process, ac
cording to the Chronic Bachelor. Just call
her hand some time and see if she isn't
bluffing.
You see, It's this way. The girl with a
pose figure out she isn't attractive enough
in herself to hold the attention and admira
tion of those she meets, so she ' surrounds
herself with a fletlonary atmosphere of
position, money snd Influence, in the hope
that some good catch will be daisied into
proposing. She apes the clothes, manners
and pleasures of the rich. The one great
fear of her life is that she will some day
forget herself and be natural.
"I met the girl with a poae back In my
little old home town In Ohio," said the
Bachelor, remlnlscently. "Her name was
Marion. She blew Into the place one sum
mer day, and by the slender thread of
natural acquaintanceship she claimed the
attention of one of the most popular girls
In town. She was ultra agreeable, con
veying to every one the impression that
meeting tflem was the aim and object of
her existence. She referred constantly to
'our home in the country' and 'our sum
mer place on the lakes," but always with
the sad mystery ot a possession passed
and gone.
"Before many moons Marlon was well
to the front at all social gathering of the
elect. I was the first to fall for her exclu
sive air. . I admired her for her fortitude
in adjusting herself to her new and re
duced circumstances so gracefully.
"Whenever I called Marlon's poor, ner
vous little mother looked half starved, but
she stuck to the (hip and carried out the
campaign as planned by her daughter to
the last letter.
"One morning, late In the winter, I
called at the office of a friend just as
Marlon was leaving. There were Unmis
takable traces of tears on her face, and.
of course, I demanded an explanation fronf
the man In the office. Reluctantly he told
me Marlon w-as three months behind In her
gas bill and that the company ha threat
ened to turn off her heat. .
"In a few day the storm brake. A de
termined milliner, less forbearing than hi
fellow had encamped on Marlon' front
door tep. refusing to leave until hi bill
we paid. The rumor flew, aa rumor are
wont to do in small towns, and soon a
steady stream of tradesmen were beselglng
the house. The following, facts hastily de
veloped: "Marlon delicate little mother tewed
from dawn until far into the night for
corn firm in the city, but kept the fact a
secret from her daughter's fashionable
friend?, who always saw her dignified and
smiling in her on black silk dress.
"Half of the material for the refresh
ment at Marlon's parties were borrowed
from the kitchen of the neighbor on the
right snd the other half from the' neighbor
on the left.
"Mai Ion voted (Iris who worked quite
Impossible, though she worked everybody
In a less honorable way.
"Later reporta are to the effect that tha
girl with a pose married the Impoverished
son of an old family, who had been a
cotorious fortune hunter. What a shock
when he goes to look up the rich relatives.
