FRIDAY," JUNE 3, 1910. MORBID TENDENCIES When we study the trend of comment as presented by the press, we notice a peculiar con dition which seems to have ob tained in the public mind. The age in which we live is a peculiar one, in this, that knowl edge has increased, intelligence has come with leaps and bounds, and the public mind as rcpre sented by those who are passive is continually looking foiwan in the panorama of life, wonder ing what will be the next blazi of excitement that will well uj to feed this abnormal condition For some time past llalley's comet has supplied food for this condition, but the climax of ex pectancy has been passed, the rlorv oi' its visit has not reache the altitude expected, and tl public dei-ire will look forward to the next figure that appears i on the chess board of entertain nient, which will probably 1 the return of Kx-precident Rooosevelt. with a deirree of lonrinr for something to feci this desire. The proper study of man sail 1 to ue "man and when w begin to scan our own teiiuen cies closely wo can very clearly discern many of those of the hu man family, as the spirit of man has been very much the same from the exit of Adam from th( gate ol lvien, and to grow healthy and strong, there inns be supervision of our tendencies The rolling-pin is without doubt a lady's weapon, and on ol iev Yoiks courageou daughters has become .so skille in the use oi this domestic uten sil that she put a burglar com pletely out in the second roil She used a cuspidor when th burglar first entered, with wide t 1 1 ii iii sue nooreu nun, out no arosi grappled with her, and the ligl went on, but when she reaehe the rolling-pin the lirst pass sent the intruder through the win dow and when the police arrive a ueau ourgiar awaited tneui m the back vard.

Tbere have been great advocates at tbe bar whose charming niauner. like the preseuce lu court of some of the world's famous beauties, would so sway the Jury and the jmljie ns to en danger and sometimes actually divert justice, say Orison Swett Marden lu Success Magazine. A gracious, Knial presence, u charming personality, a refined, fascinating manner, are wel come where mere beauty Is denied and where mere wealth Is turned away. Tbey will make a belter impression than the best education or the highest attainments. An attractive personali ty, even without peal ability, often advances oue when peat talent and pedal training will not. Tbere I" always a premium upon a charming presence. Kvery business man likes to be surrounded by eople of pleasing personality and winning manners. Tbey are regarded as splen did assets. What Is it that often enables one persoti to walk right into a position and achieve wit bout difficulty tbat which another, with Tliaps greater ability. stniKKles in vuin to accom plish?

England, between Thomas Hodgson and Samuel White bead as to which should succeed in as suming the most singular character. Umpires were selected whose duty it was to decide upon the comparative absurdity ot the costumes lu which the two men were to appearv' On the appointed day Hodgson came before tbe umpires decorated wltb banknotes of various values, his coat and vest being entirely covered with them He sides these lie had a row of live guinea pieces down his back, a netted purse ol gold around bis head and a placard ou bis back bearing tbe legend. "John Hall." Whitehead came ou the scene dress ed like a woman on one side, one half of tils face painted aud a silk stocking and slipper on one foot and leg. The other half of his face was blackeued so as to resemble a negro. Ou tbe cor responding side of his body he wore a gaudy long tailed linen coat, his leg on that side being Incased In balf a pair of leather breeches and a boot wltb a spur. lie wore a wig of sky blue braided down his back and tied with yellow, red and orange colored ribbons. One would naturally fancy that be presented tbe most singular aud ludi crous appearance, but the umpires must have thought differently, as they awarded the stakes, some 20, to Hodgson. London Tatler. Mild Result. The courtroom was crowded A wife wii seeking divorce on the grounds of ex Heine cruelty and abusive treat ment. Guns, axes, rolling pins and stinging tuvectives seemed to have played a prominent part In the plain tiff's married life. The husband was on tbe stand un dergoing a grueling cross examination. The examining attoruey said: "You have testllied tbat your wife on one oocuslou threw cayenne pepper In your face. Now. sir. ktudly tell us what you did on that occasion." The witness hesitated and looked confused. Kvery one expected that he was nlHiiit to confess to some shocking act of cruelty.
