The Cleveland MaWs Good
Because it IS so fGood
"The Cleveland is in a class by itself.' That's the answer from
owners of the new Cleveland Six all over America.
The Cleveland has made good with the public in such a big
way, because it is so good.
Men of engineering and manufac
t uring skill , and of high ideals, devoted
three years to the development and
perfection of the Cleveland Six before
they offered it to the public. Experi
mentation was worked out in the
Cleveland Company's laboratories
and shops and in constant tests on
the road; not in the hands of owners.
So the Cleveland has made good.

once a rabbit, ami since a rabbit Is
more likable than a toad, we prefer
the Lapland superstition to the Australian.
The Japanese believe that woman
grew upon a tree and that Is getting

To the little community of Newton he
was known ns .Wirvln Morton, a new
comer, living In a modest cottage
with his mother and reputed to be an
artist. In the live nnd active world
his newspaper pen and Ink sketches
had begun to make him a name.
He was standing at the window of
a cold nnd cheerless room, but not
gazing outside, for the frost lay like
a blanket across the panes. The mer
est excuse for a fire spluttered In the
grate. On an easel wns a drawing
board with a sheet of naper tacked to
it The outline of a fair girlish face
showed, but only half finished. Too
cold to continue careful work, but the
creative Impulse always seeking ex
pression, he applied the pencil tip to
the frosted pane nnd began sketching
thnt same face.
Amid bts abstraction ho had not
heard a knock at the frosted portal nor
footsteps In the hallway. The door of
the room was timidly pressed open.
"If you please, If you are Mr. Mor
ton," commenced a pleasing voice, nnd
Its owner, girlish and attractive,
faltered. Her glance had fallen upon
the limned face on the ensel nnd its
more finished duplicate on the window
pane. Surprise, pleasure, wonder
ment nnd admiration blended.

"Yes, Marlnn lllsley," hurried on the

DISLIKES ROLE OF ANANIAS
But in Such a Situation, Woman Writ
er Pathetically Pleads, What
Could She Say?
When 1 wns a little girl and set to
learn ray catechism, considerable em
phasis was laid by my elders on that
clause of my duty to my neighbor
which enjoins one "To hurt nobody by
word or deed," nnd not enough was
placed on King David's statement, "All
men are liars," Mary Alicia Owen
writes In Twilight Hour Magazine.
Ordinarily. I am a truthful person,
but that screed, "To hurt nobody by
word or deed." has become so Im
bedded In my Inner consciousness
that, as my slangy nephew would say,
"Ananias has nothing on me," in mo
ments of trial.
For Instance: A proud mother ex
hibited to me, not very long ngo, n
floppy bundle, smelling hyglenlcally of
cnstllo soap nnd new flannel. "Isn't
she tho most beautiful baby you over
saw?" she exclaimed ecstatically. I
Inspected those eyes, whose counter
part is genernlly seen in nquariums,
that dab of a nose which needed
starching or wiring to give It some
firmness of outline, that long, loose
wet mouth. I gnve one look at that
mother In whoso brenst burned the
maternal ardor of a royal Bengal ti
gress. "Yes," I meekly answered, al
though my own little grand nieces nnd
nephews nre nrtlsts' dreams of loveli
ness, as those who have had the priv
ilege of seeing them told mo when
pressed for a candid opinion. I owe
an apology to my own llesh and blood,
but what else could I say? I appeal
for a statement, to the general public,
ministers not excepted, what else
could I say?

LEAVE WORRIES AT OFFICE
Men Who Deal Successfully With Bio
Problems Know When to Forget
All About Them.
"When I leave my olllce at night,"
said a mnn who has made a reputa
tion for dealing successfully with big
problems, nccordlng to the New Suc
cess, "I take no business worries with
me, because I want to come back In
the morning nt the top of my condi
tion, capnble of doing the biggest day's
work that Is possible for me.
"If I were to worry over things nt
night, If I didn't get recreation and
rest, I couldn't do a man's work; I
couldn't tackle big propositions.
"No man can take his troubles to
bed with him and lie awake thinking
of them when be should be getting
refreshing sleep to re-enforce him to
handle big things the next day. Huoy
nncy, enthusiasm, mental harmony, nre
tho very essence of etllclency, of crea
tive ability; lind worry destroys all
of these, so I absolutely refuse to
worry In any circumstances.
"I won't waste my energy and my
creative power lying nwnke nights wor
rying over things. I know that I enn
deal efllclently with them next day, and
not till then. Now this Is what all men
of large vision and practlcnl horse
sense do. They don't drag harassing
problems home with them after the
day's work Is done; they luck them
In their place of business. Over the
door of their home Is written In men
tal characters:
" 'No worrying here. This Is my re
freshing station, my repair shop. This
Is where I equip myself for the next
day's run. This is where I renew my
spirit, m,v enthusiasm, my zest. Hero
Is where I brace up my sagging ambi
tion and get ready for tomorrow's
run.' "

Sounds Improbable.
Scientists will hardly accept the
statement at the Inquest on n man
killed by lightning thnt "un exact Im
pression of the tree under which he
wns sheltering" was found on the vic
tim's body. It Is Incredible that even
the power of a lightning Hash Is of
sufllclent Intensity to Imprint an lin
age through opaquo clothing. And, If
It were, a person would surely hnve
to be a considerable distance from so
large an object as a tree for tho angle
It subtends to be small enough to en
able Its photograph to be recorded on
the body.
The most reasonable explanation of
these phenomena Is that the lightning
causes extravasation of blood from
the blood vessels beneath the skin
thus rendering visible the treelike ram
ifications of the velnous system. It
would hnve been Interesting to note
under what kind of a tree the unfor
tunnte man was sheltering. For, If
one must take shelter (It Is far wiser
to take n soaking) one's chances of
safety depend largely upon tho sort of
tree beneath which one elects to stand.
