ORAL STATISTICIAN—I don't want any of your statistics, I took your whole batch and lit my pipe with it. I hate your kind of people; you are always ciphering out how much a man’s health is in- jured and how much his intellect is impaired and how many pitiful dol- lars and cents he wastes in the course of his ninety-two years’ indulgence in the fatal practice of smoking and in the equally fatal practice of drinking coffee and in playjng billiards occa- sionally and in taking a glass of wine at dinner; and you are always figur- | because you know yourself that peop ing out how many women have been burned to death because of the dan- gerous fashion of wearing hoop- skirts, You never see more than one aide of any question. You are blind to the fact that most old men in America smoke and drink coffee, although ac- cording to your theory they ought to have died young, and thet hearty old Englishmen drink wine and survive it, and that many old Dutchmen both drink and smoke freely and yet grow older and fatter. And you statistical bores never try to find out how much solid comfort, relaxation and enjoyment @ man de- rives from smoking in the course of a lifetime (which is worth ten times the money he would save by letting it alone), nor the appalling aggregate of happiness lost In a lifetime by your kind of people from not smoking. Of course, you can save money by deny- ing yourselves all these little vicious enjoyments for fifty years, But then, what can you do with it? What use can you put it to? Money can't save your infinitesimal soul. It won't do for you to say that you can use it to better purpose in furnishing a better table and in chari- ties and in supporting tract societie: who have no petty vices are never kaown to give away a cent, What is the use of your saving money that is so utterly worthles: In a word, why don’t you go off som where and die, not be always trying to induce people to become as ornery and unbearable as you are yourselves by your villainous “moral statistics.” INQUIRER—No, I cannot advise you how to tell a mad dog.

By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. HE girls in New York City are bigger than their brothers, T Recently the Health Department made a careful physical examination of 10,000 school children, weighing and measuring each child. The children were all approximately of the same age— between fourteen and sixteen. A comparison of the statistics of the boys’ group and of the girls’ |sroup proved that the girls of native American, English, Scotch and Irish stocks were both taller and heavier than the boys of these stocks. The girls, in short, were better developed physical specimens than their brothers. Thanks to the saner clothes and recreations now allowed little girls, they are, many of them, healthier and more robust than the frail, ladylike little creatures of a generation ago. But whoever sup- physical development? And if the ratio remains unchanged after maturity is reached, what is going to happen to our cherished theory of man’s physical superiority to woman? Perhaps the “new Amazon,” whose coming has been foretold for 80 long, is really growing up in the public schools of New York. The Sto ries Of Stories Plots of Immortal Fiction Masterpieces .

ER real name was not T’nowhead’s Bell. For that matter, T’now- I head’s name was not T’nowhead, but McQuhatty. He was nick- named because he owned T’nowhead Farm, near the Scotch factory town of Thrums. And Bell was the maid of all work at T’nowhead Farm. She had two suitors—Sam'! Dickie and Sanders Elshioner. Sam'l was a weaver. Sanders peddled coals. Regularly every Saturday night for the best part of two years both these suitors had gone to T’nowhead Farm to call on Eell, In all that time neither one of them had plucked up courage to speak ten words to her. They had sat in solemr patience, talking at intervals to her employer, and at the evening’s end had plodded off homeward to call again in the same fashion the next Saturday. It was not @ very lively courtship, Each of the two men knew the other was wooing Bell. She knew they both were wooing her. And by local etiquette she was supposed to accept whichever should first propose to her. But neither of the men had proposed, not only because neither could muster courage for such a plunge but be- cause neither could get a chance to speak to her alone. One Sunday morning nearly all the T’nowhead family—husband and wife and nine children—went to church. They left Bell at the farm to look after the baby. Sanders, who was in a rear pew, saw his opportunity, He sneaked out of church and set off A at top speed for T’nowhead Farm. Sam'l saw San- Oppo ders leave the church and guessed why he had gone, So he hurried stealthily out after him, The two swains ran at top speed toward farm. But Sam‘l took a short cut. Sanders arrived, out of breath, to bo) Sam'l dive into the house ahead of him. Sanders knew he was beaten; that he had lost the girl he loved. So he sat down moodily on the edge of the pigsty and gave himself over to gloom, Meanwhile Sam'l dashed into the room where Bell was at work and panted out a half-unintelligible proposal. Bell secretly preferred Sanders. But al custom demanded that she accept the first offer, So she sighed “Aye!” in meek resignation to Sam'i's question, Whereat, without even kissing her, Sam'l started back toward Thrums. Sanders left the pigsty and joined him in the homeward walk. “I had ance a kind o’ notion o’ Bell, mysel’,” said Sanders, as they went ut I thodit better o't.” loo d'ye mean?" asked Sam'l, a little anxiously. “Weel, Sam'l, mairitch is a terrible responsibeelity. An’ no the thing to tak up withoot conseederation.” “But it's a blessed and honorable state, Sanders; ye've heard the min- ister on't.” “They say,” continued the relentless Sanders, “‘at the minister doesna got on sa weel wi’ the wife himsel’, “So they do,” cried Sam'l, with a sinking of the heart. “Sanders, hoo did ye no speak o' this afoore?” “I thocht ye kent o’t, Sam'l.” “But, Sanders,” said Sam'l, brightening up, “ye ‘was on yer way speir (ask) her yersel’.” , Sam'l," said Sanders, “and I canna but be thankfu’ ye was ower “I wi quick.” All at once, under this discouragement, Sam’! began to repent of haste. Day by day Sanders filled him with more and more doubts as his chanves of happiness with Bell, until, on the very eve of the wedding, Sam'l's wavering resolution gave out. “I canna do it, Sanders!” he groaned, adding: “Ye hae been a guid frieng to me in this eair affliction.” “Don't mextion it,” sald the crafty Sanders, but Sam'l persisted ape pealingly: “She'd mak ye a guid wife, Sanders, Tak her, laddie! the speirin’, I'll give her up.” “If ye'd rather,” said Sanders, politely, They shook hands on it and Sanders set off blithely toward the Farm, “1 could na bear to disappoint the lassie,” explained Sanders when hq went later to the minister to arrange for his wedding to T’nowhead's Bell, Shes yours tor Pop’s Mutual Motor By Alma Woodward Copyright, 1018, by The Press Publishing Oo, (The New York Evening World), 66] LIKE to take Mr, and Mrs. | supporting his end of the deep Gime.
