THE "PERFECT" BABY.
At the Iowa state fair, after a con
test, one baby was dec-lured to be the
most perfect in the state. " j
In the contest for "good points" maay
babies were weighed and measured and
tested for proportion, vitality, touth,
taste and hearing.
The test was "scientific."
On. a scale of 100 there were so
many marks for weight, measurement,
health, looks, teeth, hair, etc. The
babies' intelligence was discovered by
their Interest in a phonograph, or a
watch held up, or some such proof.
The one baby was pronounced the
perfect one by means of scale and
tape and "laboratory test."
So far so good.
But
Who can tell what may be the out
come of that "perfect" baby? Often
times the weakest babe turns out to '

. TRIUMPH
A BUTLER'S
COURTSHIP
By ELLEN D. HEMSTREET
"I'm goin' to be married, ma'am," said
James, "and I suppose you won't want
a married man for butler."
"Indeed, James."-! replied, "that de
pends upon you."
"Is it happiness you're sayin'I"
"Isn't it in your case?" '
"Well, ma'am, I dunno. My girl some
times gives me happiness and some
times unhappiness. She's a .wayward
thing, and I can't always tell just what
she's goin' to do."
"What do you mean by that, James?"
"Well, ma'am, one time she'll cuddle
tip to me like a kitten to a warm brick,
and another she'll hardly speak to me;
And I'm always afraid that she's goto'
to fly off to some other feller."
James was an excellent man, and I
liked him very much. His frankness
placed me in an embarrassing position.
It seemed to me that he had given his
heart to a flighty girl who would not
conduce to his comfort I didn't like
to tell him so, and I didn't like to per
mit him to walk into trouble without
warning him.
"What you mention, James." I re
plied, "I would call the lighter femi
nine traits, which you men seem in
clined to relish."
"Yes. ma'am; they're kittenish and
mighty fine to the man they're playin'
with so long as they don't scamper off
to play with some one else.'
"Don't you think that your girl aft
er marriage will settle down and stick
to you?"
"I dunno, ma'am. I don't think I be
good lookin' enough to hold her."
"Good looking enough! Why, James,
good looks may, attract a woman, but
good looks alone will never hold her."
"Don't you think so, ma'am?"
His gaze at me as he asked the ques
tion was pathetic, like clinging to a
straw.
"I know It," I replied. "Can't you
bring your girl around some time and
let me see her?" ,
"Certainly. I'm to see her Sunday
night I'll bring her then."
He did bring her. I was surprised
when I saw her, for she was but nine
teen and very pretty, while James was
thirty-five and homely. It was amus
ing to see James look at me to learn
If I approved or disapproved, and, as
for the girl, she appeared very restless
under inspection. I chatted with them
on ordinary topics for awhile; then
they went away. The next morning
after breakfast, meeting James in the
ball, he asked me what I thought of
his girL
"I can't tell from seeing her oncr'
I said. "I would advise you not cO
hurry. If she's a good, reliable girl
she'll show it in time. If she isn't
she'll show that If she sticks to you
for a few months without backsliding
it may be safe to marry her."
"Yes. ma'am," said James. "I thank
you, ma'am."
I studied James' countenance fiom
time to time as an index of his feel
ings. It did not indicate that his en
gagement was satisfactory, and one
day he said to me: "It's off between
my girl and me. At a dance she went
off with another feller and left mt.
alone for the balance o' the evenin'."
"Why didn't yon take up with an
other girl?"
"What for, ma'am ?'-
"Why. to bring your girl to her
senses. If she'd seen you attentive to
another she would likely have shown
that she wanted you, after all."
"I'm not up to them rackets, ma'am.
I Jist told her it was off. and I "told
her what you said if she was all right
she'd show it, and if she was all wron?
she'd show it. She showed all wrong,
and that is the end of it"
"Well, James, try again, and next
time fix your mind on some one more
steady."
James said be would not try again.
He'd had enough of it.
Not long after this, when it was
James' afternoon out. I was told" that
some one was in the ball below who
desired to see me. I went down, and
there was the girl with whom James
had broken. I fancied she bad a con
fidence to impart to me, so I led her
upstairs into my boudoir. When there
I asked her what I could do for her.
"Make it up. If you please, mem. with
James."
"1 make it up with James?"
"Yes, mem. James hasn't got any
sense about such matters, and he re
lies entirely on you. He's awful stub
born. If 1 wanted to see bow mud1
he loved me by a bit of a flirt witb
another man. instead of understandin'
he just breaks it all off with me, and
there we aje."
"Are you much in love with him?"
"Certain: Why shouldn't 1 be?"
".Do you think you'll always love
him?"
"Shure!"
"What do you want me to do?"
"Tell him 1 was foolin'."
. "Why don't you tell him yourself?,"
"He won't believe me. He'll believe
you, though."
"Very welk. I'll talk to him."
The same evening, without telling
James of the visit. I gave him a little
talk about the foibles of women, say
ing that be must not take them too se
riously, and advised him. if be still
loved the girl, to give her another
chance. If she failed again it would
be time enough to break with her per
manently. . He took my advice and
made it up with her. She has made
him a very good wife, and James gives
me credit for engineering the most im
portant part of his courtship.

STATE UNIVERSITY
PLANS NEW COURSES

ucation; and "Economic Botany," by

course which will treat of the psy

When Englishwomen Smoked.
The English wuiuan of the seven
teenth century enjoyed the luxury of a
clay pipe. A Frenchman of that period
who visited England bad occasion to
spend the night at the Stag Innv in
Worcester, and he notes that It is
customary for the English landladies
to take supper with "the strangers and
passengers, and if they have daugh
ters they are also of the company to
entertain the guests with pleasant con
ceits, where they drink as- much as
the men. Moreover, the supper being
finished they set on the table half a
dozen pipes and a packet of tobacco
for smoking, which is a general cus
tom, as well among women as men."

When Kissing Was Barred.
Kissing either wife or child was a
