Little Bobbie’s
Pa
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.
P A took Ma & me out on the lake
fishing bullheds last nite. We
stayed out on the lake a long
time & It was getting Ute wen we got
hoam. Ma was glttlng cross, too.
Wife, sed Pa, wen we started out, you
may not know It, but a bullhed is bet
ter eeting than any other fresh water
fish. A bulhead isent the prlttlest thing
in the world to look at, Pa sed, beeing
moar or less slimy, like a eel, & with a
big hed & two sharp thorns one on eech
side of its neck. Its eyes are vary
small & fathomless, Pa sed, like the
eyes of a fat German after a picnic, &
it has long whiskers that look like
strips of spagetty, but wen you have
caught yure bullhed & skinned him, &
fried him oaver a nice wood fire, thare
isent anything nicer to eet in the wide
wurld. Wait till we git a boat load
of the grand fish. Pa sed, & I will treet
you & littel Bobbie to a feed fit for the
gods.
I used to eet bullheds wen I was a
littel gurl, sed Ma. My father used
to catch them in the mill ponds out in
Wisconsin, & if I remember rite thay
was awful hard to skin & thay cer-
tingly was good eeting. He used to
catch them with angelworms, sed.
He was no sportman, sed Pa. I al
ways catch them with flies. I cast for
them, Pa sed.
I am going to try wurms, I toald Pa.
Harry Mlsner toald me to always catch
them here in this lake with wurms, &
I got sum wurms from him for nothing.
A lot of good wurms will do you, sed
Pa. You better talk off that hook &
git one of these hackle flies on yure
line.
No, I sed, I am going to try the
wurms.
Wen we got to the place ware Pa
thought thare wud be sum bullheds,
put out the ankor & Ma bet Pa a cigar
aggenst a box of candy that 1 wud ca,tch
moar bullheds than he caught.
It is like taiking candy away from a
child, sed Pa, but I will take the wager.
I doant beleeve you will catch a bull
hed with a fly, sed Ma. Dident I tell
you my father always used wurms?
The bullheds thought yure father was
a older brother, sed Pa. I always
,thought he was a kind of bullhed any
way. He dident seem to think that I
wud amount to much as a son in law.
That was wen you were yung & wild,
sed Ma. You have Improved since you
got oalder, & now he likes you vary
much & I doant want you to call him
a bullhed, eethur.
•Jest then I got a bite & pulled in a
nice bullhed nearly a foot long.
Good for you, Bobble, sed Ma. Keep
up the good work. Look at old Ike
Walton, here, throwing that fly all oaver
the top of the water.
Newer mind me, sed Pa ,T will git
moar & bigger fish than Bobbie, & then
wen he sed that I caught another one.
Poor, deer husband, sed Ma. Why
doant you resite the bullheds that peece
of poetry you rote for the bankwet the
other nite. My father used to resite
peeces from Byron & Toni Moore wen
he went bullhed fishing. & then I
caught a awful big bullhed, that made
three.
We mite as well try another spot
ware thay will rise to a fly, sed Pa.
This spot is all rite for Bobbie, sed
Ma. We will stay rite ware we are.
I caught so many bullheds that I got
tired, & all Pa caught with his hackle
fly was the rim of Ma's hat.
Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
NOT IF IT IS WORTH WHILE.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am seventeen and deeply in
love with a man eleven years my
senior. He often asked me to go
to a show, but I refused. Do you
think I will lose his affection by
not accepting his invitation?
X. Y. Z.
If he cares for you in the right way,
his love is not so easily lost. You
do not say why you are Tefusing his
attentions.
Use Cough Drops.
"Muriel,” said the old gentleman,
sharply, "that young man you had in
the parlor last night is dull of com
prehension. All I had to do was to
cough when the other chaps re
mained too late and they would take
the hint and depart. Did this one

I HAVE seen “La Belle Dazie” and
she is! Just as bewitchingly pret
ty is Mademoiselle Dazie in her own
dainty Hudson-breeze-swept apartment
as when she twinkles her toes at you
over the footlights. From her many
charms. I singled out the wonderfully
clear and well proportioned line of her
lovely profile, the beautiful curve of the
white shoulders and the soft, luxuriant
hair.
“Will you tell me a short cut to the
acquisition of these three alders and
abettors of beauty. Mademoiselle Da
zie?” I asked.
“I will be glad to tel you all I know
about it—and I won’t pretend that I
think that is very little,” said*the hon
est star who twinkles under the joint
management of B. F. Keith and Martin
Beck. “For we women of the stage
have to make a study of how to be just
as lovely and appealing to audiences
as a hoarding of natural resources and
a few additions thereto will make us.
On False Hair.
“About a profile—it is a good idea to
own a hand-glass and to view one’s self
side-face once in a while, for the coif
fure that lodks well from the front maj
make you look like a caricature of a
leap-frog game or a door-knob from th<
side! Dont’ wear false hair if you
can avoid it, it will cause your own
locks to depart In wrath, and it will in
all probability spoil the shape of your
head. THE NATURAL CONTOUR OF
THE HEAD IS GENERALLY WELL
WORTH SHOWING—why won’t more
feminine persons remember that? A
good masseuse to rub in a good tonic;
a good brush, with your own arms to
apply it faithfully, often and long, and
you’ll have luxuriant locks to aid an
uptilted poise in giving you a good pro
file. For ‘carry the head high’ is the
first rule for a good profile.
“Oh, and brushing your hair is fine
for your arms. Calisthenics and ex
ercise will generally give you rounded
contours where you want them. I am
pretty slender, you know, and yet I have
not scrawny arms or shoulders. JIU
jITSU DID THAT. For two years I did
a jiu jltsu dance with a man who
weighed half again as much as I did, but
jght not to be an outworn fad
in this country. It is well worth the
consideration of any woman who wants
to develop into symmetry and strength.
That and deep breathing gave me a
broad, healthy singer’s diaphragm, too.
Oh. yes, jiu jltsu, of thee I sing! It
gives a woman confidence in her power
to take <*are of herself, and it will aid
the underdeveloped woman to put a
curve where she wants it and the wom
an of overluxuriant figure to take off a
curve or two.
“I have two more little secrets that
I will be glad to give you,” went on the
generous Dazie. “They are on the sub
jects of eyes and relaxation."
For the Eyes,
And very important subjects they are,
so the Interviewer’s heart was duly re
joiced at what she was about to Receive.
“For eyes, witch hazel diluted as much
or as little as you like and applied with
a bit of absorbent cotton whenever the
eyes are tired or dusty. That cleanses
and relaxes them.
“But about real relaxation, I have a
theory that I most earnestly practice.
Whenever fatigue threatens, I lie down
flat on my back with no pillow to break
the natural line of the relaxed body.
Really. I fairly ‘flop.’ And there I lie
with bodily tension all gone, and mind

(Copyright, 1913, by American-Jour
nal-Examiner.)
D O you know what a wonder
fully complicated thing a hu
man being is? Every feature,
every portion of your body, every
motion you make, reflects your men
tal organization.
I know a woman past middle life
who has always been on the oppo
site side of every question discussed
in her presence.
She was agnostic with the ortho
dox, reverential with atheists, lib
eral with the narrow, bigoted with
the liberal.
Whatever belief any one expressed
on any subject she Invariably took
the other extreme. She loved to
disagree with her fellow men. It was
her pastime.
Now, to walk with that woman in
silence is merely to carry on a word
less argument.
You can not regulate your steps
so they will harmonize with hers.
She will be just ahead or just be
hind you, and if you want to turn
to the left, she pulls to the right.
A promenade with her is more ex
hausting than a day's labor.
She is not conscious of it, and
would think any one very unreason
able and unjust who told her of her
peculiarities.
I know a woman who all her life
has been looking afar for happiness
and peace and content, and has never
found any of them, because she did
not look into her own soul.
She was a restless girl, and she
married, believing in domestic life
lay the goal of her dreams. But
she was not happy there and sighed
for freedom. She wanted to move,
and did move, once, twice, thrice, to
different points of the United States.
She was discontented with each
j change. She is to-day possessed of
all comforts and luxuries which life
can afford, yet she is the same rest
less soul. She likes to read, but it
is always the book which she does
not possess which she craves. If
| she is in the library with shelves
book-filled she goes into the garret
and hunts in old boxes for a book or
a p-per which has been cast aside.
If she is in a picture gallery she
wants to go to the window‘and look
out on the street, but when she Is
on the street it bores her and she
longs to go in the house.
If a member of the family is ab
sent she gets no enjoyment out of
the society of those at home; yet
when that absent one returns her
mind strays elsewhere, seeking some
imagined happiness not found here.
I wonder if such souls ever find
it, even in the spirit realm, or if they
go on there seeking and always seek
ing something just beyond. It is a
great gift to learn to enjoy the pres
ent—to get all there is out of it,
and to think of to-day as a piece of
eternity. Begin now to teach your
self this great art if you have not
thought of it before. To be able to
enjoy heaven, one must learn first
to enjoy earth.

It, Marne.” said the tall, wil
lowy creature in the clinging
black gown, “but unless trade In this

“It’s fierce!” agreed the other wil

“You leave her to me!” hissed the
first speaker, hastily patting her hair
and straightening up. “My land!
She’s a find! She came In from Per

brought a carload of live stock, and
he’s given her a pocketful to spend

“Good morning!” she broke off to
murmur in velvet tones. “Is there
something I can do for you?” $
“Oh, yes, you were just looking
around. I see. We are always glad
to have people come in whether they
buy or not. That Bulgarian dress in

out something like that, which is the
very latest thing—we Just unpacked it
this morning. The shipment was de
layed, and it is a little beyond the
season, so it is marked down awfully
low, along with everything else.
“Only $22, and a month ago we’d
have got fifty for it. Why, it is the
very best material, madam. I assure
you. This ratine is so stylish, but if
it is new to you, of course, it does
remind you of a thin bath towel. 1
sold six dresses on this order to a
stylish customer the other day. She
has a big summer home at Lake Go*
neva, and I tell you they wear clothes
there! You had better let me show
you how stunning you look in it.
“Marne, did you ever? It might
have been made for her—see how it
fits! Oh, my, no; you wouldn’t want
to take it in—everything is loose and
baggy this year. You’ll get used to
it. Goodness, no! You wouldn’t want
to take off that collar and sash!
You’re not a bit too old for such
bright colors! That’s really a joke
when you can’t be more than 20—well,
you don't look it. I’m sure you
wouldn’t make a mistake in taking
this.
“All right. I’ll lay it aside for you.
I want to show you something spe
cial that we keep for our best trade.
Jus* a minute!
“Meme, for goodness sake, rustle
out those chiffon things that we’ve
had a year—on the top shelf—and
those blouses that every one always
returns because something was
wrong with the cut—under those
boxes!
“Now, here! Did you ever see any
thing prettier for a tea party or a
meeting of the Literary Club—oh. 1
can tell when a woman is progressive
just by looking at her! This chiffon
will wear like iron and see how it’s
draped! Everything is so clinging,
you know, and you have just the
figure for it!
“Doesn’t she look ?*weet in this pur
ple, Mame? The touch of pink and
yellow around the neck
low neck—women wear blouses on
the street nearly as low as this. By
the way, Mame, bring me some of
these new blouses—I want her to see
them.
Only $10.
“Isn’t this dairity? And only $10.
Perfect with your tailor suit! I’ll put
this with the purple chiffon and the
Bulgarian dress. You would regret
it to the last day of your life if you
let such bargains slip! You can just
take the blouse in here—and let it
out a bit there—and it will be per
fect!
“Did you notice these hats? Aren’t
they dears? Marked down two-thirds,
madam! I suppose that orange quill
sticking up does seem odd to you,
but our very best people are wearing
them. Maybe you prefer this light
blue canoe shape with the orange
feathers in the back—doesn’t that
give her style, Mame?
“Oh, you must have it! It is such a
pleasure to get hold of a customer
that fashionable things become as
they do you! Now, if you will give
me the hotel address—thank you!
Ninety-one dollars and fifty cents!
You certainly have *«ome bargains!
Good morning!

selling all that junk? Come along—
I’m going to strike Mme. Cerise for
more pay!”
How to Be

“I
Do You Know—
The Dowager Empress of Russia has
always had a great idea of the decora
tive in regard to her personal atten
dants. When her husband, the late
Czar, was on the throne, she had a
bodyguard which made a brilliant
pageant on great occasions. The only
guard she now retains Is the giant Cos
sack of 6 feet 4 inches in his stockings,
who accompanies Her Majesty every
where. On any official occasion he
wears a magnificent white and gold uni
form, and stands behind the Empress’
chair when she is at the table.

The proceedings of the Marconi Com
mittee are costing the English Govern
ment Stationery Department a good
deal. The comittee have been sitting
for two solid months—putting all their
days of work on end—and the talk to
which they have listened fills 1,500 pages
of closely-printed foolscap. In round
figures, 30.000 questions have been asked
and answered In at least a million and a
half words.
MET a girl about four month*
ago,” writes Harry, “and since
that time we have kept company
and I love her very much and I think
she loves me., too. We always spend
our time together Some time ago she
told me that from the day we first be
came acquainted I have never told hep
anything that would Interest her. We
talk of Incidents of the day, and I try
to tell her of all I hear downtown. Will
you please tell me what more I can tell
to obtain her Interest?”
Certainly. I will be glad to. I wish
every young man In the world would
come to me with a similar request.
You told her of the fire next door; you
recounted the accident an acquaintance
had with his motor boat; you recalled
incidents when you were in danger on
the water; you asked her what she
though of the latest murder; you won
dered if she thought as you do about a
certain magazine; you told her every
thing you could recall, from what the
office boy said to the latest Congression^
al scandal, and she wasn’t interested!
Of course not. She might be, if you
began this tale of a day’s events with a
statement you have never made. She
njight be, if at any time in the months
you have been keeping company with
her you had ever made that statement.
And that is, “I love you!”
Tell her that, and I am sure you will
obtain her interest.” Tell her you love
her, and I will vouch for It that you,
will find yourself talking to the most
interested listener you ever had in your
life, whether that life be long’or short.
Tell her you love her, and while she
hears she will not know there are others
on the planet besides you two. Tell her
that, and you are telling her something
that will win her interest in you for
the balance of your life.
If you were a woman, you would have
known long ago why she has looked
bored when you have speculated if
worms or bugs make the best fishing
bait. It was because sne did not know
that you had an interest in her greater
than in your subject.
Tell her you love her, and thereafter,
so long as you so conduct youhself that
she believes it, your conversation will
be as bright and scintillating as though
it were made up of stars strung on
moonbeams.
Tell her you love her, and prove it;
and so long as love remains, the most
commonplace remark you make will be
received with an interest that will glor
ify it and give it rank (in her opinion)
among the sayings of wit and wisdom
that live forever.
And her opinion, my dear Harry, is
the opinion of al the world to you if
you love her.
