Conld She Ever Have Been This?
Tho Girl You Love.
And Can She Ever Be This?
Nell Brinkley Says:
You chaps who are swimming strongly
in the awlft, sweet tide of love, the blue
sea of romance carrying you on Its
deep-breathing bosom, the white clouds
of dreams like the lace at her throat
drifting high over you, have you ever put
in your hand a dingy little picture of a
funny little child, a funny little child In
an old-fashioned beaver bonnet with a
little "tip" curling over Its brim, a velvet
coat buttoned over her fat little tummy,
a "property" flower clutched In her
scared littlo hand, a tiny heart-locket
gleaming on her tiny chest, a faded lace
collar up around her flower-stem neck,
and a pair of staring, dark, plxle eyes
under Batiny, plastered-down tow-hair;
have you ever had this dingy, scratched,
warped-by-the-ycars photograph thrust
Into your hands and heard the voice of
the ,glrl whom you love breathing
warmly and wistfully over your shoulder,
"That's me!"? Then you've thought
many things, If you have. Can this tall,
spendid girl, with the l)lgh-colfed hair,
with tho broad, flat shoulders, the lan
guage of womanhood in her eyes and on
her lips, with the long, elegant hand with
its single ring you gave her splintering
Into light on her finger, the quick, alert
brain, tho passion of living around her
like a scarlet garment, over, over have
been this littlo, little child? The only
things left, It seems, that look back at
you now ns you slew your head about and
search the face brooding smilingly over
your shoulder, are the pixie-eyes and the
deep dimples, honey-filled.
They are still there but the quaint little
"tip,"' and the tight-buttoned coat, the
fat littlo hand and Its stiff white flower,
and the baby chin and brow, are all with
the things that you never knew and she
has forgotten quite. In tho place where
are the things that never tome back,
crumpled flowers, and memories, and the
little boy that used to be! And then I
think you reach around In a passion of
Jealousy and tenderness, trying to hold.
In the grown tall, girl, that little child
that was. Trying to held that other one
she will be. a faded littlo woman with
the splendor of the dark eyes sat Ilk
gems In a network of wrinkles, the face
still holding some of the crab-apple blos
som coloring, the dimples sunk away Into
furrows, the baby-hand and the slim. girl
hand work away Into a fragile morsal
of nones, the hair again plastered down
and aatln-smooth, and the tiny chest In
lace and velvet, like that first little child.
The girl you love looka Into a three-
ovaled mirror and there you will ttt hr,
If you peer cloe. that little funny child
that was, the glorious thing aha Is, and
the elderly person she will toe.
And In your arms, If you are wise, you
nlll remember that you hold all three
for In her ways and her heart and eyes.
If you look and understand, you will
find the little child. And you must try,
If you are very wise, to keep that little
child as long, as long as can be-to keep
that other one with sunken lips and eytt
ns far, as far away as may be!

althouch the sun's rotation taken dava
while the earth's la measured by hours,
' yet his Hlze is so enormous, his equatorial
belt being about 1,722,050 miles around,
that the spurt of a point near his eqator
Is 4V4 times us great as that of a Bimllar
point on tho earth.
The Inequality of the angular velocity
of the sun's rotation at different dis
tances from his equator Is In Itself a
proof that he cannot have a solid crust
like the earth's, and we know from other
evidence that the sun is composed of hot
gases and vapors, among which vaporized
nctals such as iron occupy an Import
ant place.
Yes, the sun with all Its planets Is mov
ling through space, and the direction of
this motion Is approximately known. It
is toward the northern part of the sky,
and not far from an Imaginary lino
drawn to tho brilliant star Vega in the
constellation of Lyra.
That star Is a sun probably a thousand
times greater than ours, but it Is not to
the attraction of Vega that astronomers
ascribe the sun's motion. The real cause
of that motion remains unascertained,
although It Is probably due to the com
bined effects of the attraction of all the
rtars as well as of the Invisible bodies In
space.
Every star In the sky is likewise In
motion, but they alt vary both In their
speed and the directions In which they
are flying. However, recent studies have
shown that two great general currents
of star motion exist, and these currents
appear to be flowing In diametrically
J opposite directions, although the stars
belonging to both currents seem to be
I intermingled as viewed from the earth.
Here Is a groat mystery.

"Is It a proved fact that the sun re
volves on Its axis?
"Is the sun with all its planets moving
through space, and If so. In what ap
parent direction?"
Yes, It Is a proved
fact that the sun
revolves on Its axis,
But all carts of its
surface do not ro
tate with the same
velocity. In this re
spect the rotation
of the sun differs
from that of tho
earth.
Therein lies a

earth's although

The earth being covered with a solid
crust, and being also, as recent Investi
gation demonstrates, as rigid as steel
throughout Its entire fslobe, rotates with
one and the same angular velocity from
the equator to the poles.
If you stood on the earth's equator you
would be carried by Its dally rotation
round a circle about D6.000 miles In cir
cumference. If you stood within a yard
of the North or South pole you would be
:arrled, by the same motion, round a
circle not quite 19 feet In circumference.
And yet It wold require precisely tho
lame time, viz., twenty-four hours, to
describe the 19-foot circle as the 25,000
nlle one.
That Is what we mean by saying that
the earth's angular velocity of rotation
Is everywhere the same.
But the absolute velocity In space of a
point on the equator Is not the same as
that of a point near the pole. The (tret

The banks knew

had sent out due

notified their de
positors of the new
home of the united
banks. It was done
with all the dec

taking correct

Home" cards of
wedded humans.
But the banks
knew this was not enough. They knew
what would happen, and It did happen.
Careless depositors mislaid the notices.
Absent-minded persons forgot It. or only
vaguely remembered It. Crochety per
sons knew well enough the new location,
but wanted to say what they thought
about It, to enter their usual protest
against things as they are. Sentimental
persons wanted to have a last look at
the dismantled scene of their check
writing. A large number were clear a
to the locality of the new home of ths
newly wedded banks, but didn't know
quite when the honeymoon began. "As
the banks expected, they all called. They
paid visits of curiosity, of looking back
ward sentimentally. Boma called to com
plain. Others to ask questions. Some to
scold.
The married banks, of one mind In tha
matter, agreed that they must be pre
pared for these visits, and they were.
They chore the most polite man In their
service us a reception committee They

matched his eyes, nnd, above all. with his

termined woman, with a face as sharp
as her words, arrived in a mannish suit
and a felt hat, with an aggressive quill.
Tho Indefinite woman, all cur.ves melting
Into each Other, and a lazy manner of
speech, who didn't know what to do and
wanted to be Instructed; the blustering
man with the prognathous Jaw: the fussy
man with the peppery temper; the deaf
man, who made an ear trumpet of his
hand and uttered that exasperating
monosyllable, "How?" all came, all
talked. They stared Into the gloom o(
tho empty rooms behind the man and
talked. The man stood at the door and
Untried. Long ago, when the president
of the bank had chosen him for an office
boy. the official said, "He will get on.
He smites.'- He heard what euch one
had to say. He never Interrupted the
stream of talk, although some of the
streams wre a weary, five minutes'
leng. He bowed to each In greeting,
turned on them his smile, and said:
"The banks moved yesterday to the
fcky Piercer building. You will find them
well settled. All the old officers and at
tendants, are there. They will be glad
to see you. Mr. Granger mentioning the
most popular man in the organization
will be at the door to meet you
The sharp-faced woman In the man

semi-smile started across the. park to the

the door of the new habitat of their

Are You a Snob?
Br BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
A snoh Is a pest to society and should
be regarded ah u natural enemy by every
one who has the good of mankind at
heart.
And yet almost all of us have a toueh of
snobbery In our natures. We must all be
very careful not to let the plant grow
Into a tangle of weedn that will choke
all the sweetness and human kindness In
tho garden of our lives.
Snobbery la cruel vanity .and mean cad-
dlshness. It Is a desire to shine at some
one else's expense. It means a wlrh to
contrast one's own superiority with some
one else's Inferiority In a way that will
hurt and degrade them wantonly and
unnecessarily.
It Is bad enough to bo asnamed In your
heart If your mother is a washerwoman
and your fathei n coal heaver. But If
you fight this touch of anobblihnosa and
teach yourself that the further you rUe
the more pride you must have In your
humble beginnings, this touch of snobbery
will only help you to be stronger as you
conquer It.
The supreme quality of snobbery s a
parade of wealth or family In the vulgar,
selfish and even wicked desire to hu
miliate, those who are less fortunate. To
the pleasure of the genuine snob It Is
essential that some one else be hurt and
humiliated.
Take stock of yourself. Are you one of
the human pests? Are you a cruel, self
ish snob?
Are you unkind to your people because
you fear that the fine friends you are
making In your upward climb In thin
world might laugh at your mother's
broken English or your father's 'habit of
eating with his knife? If you forget to
"honor your father and mother'' you are
a contemptible snob.
Are you silly enough to wear Jewels
and over-elegant clothes to work, so the
people who meet you In street ears and
at your place of employment may envy
or admire your affluence? In thus show
ing yourself Ignorant of the fitness of
things you also show yourself to be a
vain and underbred snob.
1 Are you so proud of your ancestry' that
, , "
you don't feel callled upon to exert your
self to prove yourself a worthy descent
ant? Do you laugh at the blunders and mis.
fortunes of others?
Do you Insist on having all sorts of
respectful favor paid you, regardless of
nmo ana place? For Instance, do you go
off for a day's shopping, and on your
way home glare tt the poor, tired day
laborer who falls to honor you by arlslnc
mat you may stt?
Do you sneer at some one who worka
In your office and occupies a lower place
on the payroll than you do?
In any of these cases you are a snob.
Watch yourself for the vanity thtt
makes you humiliate others. It It snob
bery. Do your duty In that station to which
you have risen. But on the day when
you find yourself tak(nt pleasure In awak
ening Jealousy In another by parading
your advantages; the hour when you find
yourself vaunting or flaunting to makn
others uncomfortable; the moment when
you find yourself pressing forward so oth.
era may feel humiliated by belnr left bt
hind, that moment go down op your knees
and pray God to be merciful to you-a
contemptible snob!

Coyote Held Four Doga Off,
The righting abilities of coyotes were
demonstrated recently when one fought
more than an hour with four dogt be
longing to Asa Ireton, a farmer, in the
east part of Pallna county, Kansas.
After fighting several minutes the coy
ote took to the river, and in water from
six to eight feet deep the battle waged for
an hour- The coyote swam about with
only Its ears and nose above the water
until attacked by the dogs, and after
fighting as long as the dogs could fight
the coyote would break away and rest
by floating. When the dega had re
covered their wind they would make an
other attack, working all the time to get
the coyote out of the water. They were
successful two or three times, but each
time the coyote would leap back Into the
river.
After an hour's work the coyote was
driven away from the river Into the open.
There It lasted more than fifteen min
utes against -the four dogs, which had
been trained to work together against
coyotes and bobcats. The dogt were ex
hausted, as well as badly battered. Kan
