It at Climate and Cupid Madison, Wis. — Cold weather cramps the activity of Cupid. More girls between fifteen and twenty-four years of age living in warm climates get married than girls of the same class in colder temperature cities, a survey submitted in the school of commerce at the University of Wis consin reveals. A correlation between temperatures and wedding bells is found. The warmer the climate the better chance a girl has to get married. In twelve southern cities of 100,000 or more population, having annual mean temperatures ranging from 69 to 69 degrees, 27 per cent of the native white women are single, the study finds. In twelve northern cities of the same class, on the other hand, 33 per cent of the women are single, the annual mean temperature in these cities ranging from 45 to 48 degrees. Smaller cities with populations be tween 25,000 and 100,000, however, do not show such a high correlation be- tween temperatures and marriages. In fifteen warm cities of this class. with annual temperatures running least suggested that I had not quite reached senility, that there was still some life and activity in me, We all dislike admitting that all semblance of youth has disappeared. I. was fifteen, as 1 now remember, tall and very slender, but badly mus- cled, when Mr. Corrington visited us. Mr. Corrington was a man of experi- ence and of financial standing. He had traveled a good deal. He had seen much of the world, he had made a tremendous business success, and we all valued his judgment upon what- ever subject he chose to express him- self. We listened when Mr. Corring- ton spoke. “How old are you?’ he asked me one day after watching my movements for a time, “Fifteen,” I. replied. “You look older,” he said. “I should have thought you seventeen at least.” He could not have said a more pleasing or flattering thing to me. 1 was eager to be grown up. 1 wanted most of all to be thought a man. The most humiliating thing . which could happen to me was to be spoken to as if I were a child. Seventeen, he said I looked. I drew myself up and threw my shoulders back. I was not so far from manhood as I had feared. Why is it that when one is old noth- ing so pleases him as to be thought young, and that when one is young there is nothing which so flatters him as to be thought mature and sophisti- cated? Young people of today more than any other young people I have known want to be thought experienced, und sophisticated. The young have al- ways despised youth and have done their best to conceal it or to evade its limitations and its restrictions, but never so eagerly as they try today to deny its inexperience. Nothing pleases a college boy more than to call him “old man”; nothing gives him greater irritation than to indicate to him that after all he is still a good deal of a child even though he may have seen twenty years. He wants to be grown up; he wants to be wise; he is not satisfied with youth, And so old age looks back and longs for what it does not have. Mrs. Gould, wrinkled and stoop-shouldered at seventy-five, dresses like a young girl of sixteen, wears chiffon stockings and shoes with French heels which pinch her feet almost beyond human endur- ance. She rouges her cheeks and pencils her eyebrows all with the hope that peopte will think her young. Frazier was wearing a wig the last time I saw him to conceal his bald head, and Connor is dyeing his. gray hair a shiny black. Youth and age! Each envies the other.

HGEY WARM SOME FH You! —= . WHY DONT You Pur COAT | WOULD, \F MOM DIDNT SAY 1 Goat Pals With Horse Charleston, S. C.—For several years Moonbeam, a trick horse, and Bill, a bearded black goat of no par- ticular ancestry, have been insep- arable companions. The story of their friendship is the story of Bill's ad- miration for Moonbeam. Once Moonbeam did Bill a service, and now Bill will sleep nowhere but in Moonbeam’s stall, When Moon- beam takes their master, Dr. W, H. Price, for a ride, Bill goes along, and does whatever Moonbeam does. This is sometimes hard, for Moonbeam is an accomplished hurdler, which little ; the goat has come to grief in his at- Bill decidedly is not, and many times tempts to the actions of his equine idol, It is a long story, and begins with Moonbeam, Several years ago, when his age was three, Moonbeam be- longed to a farmer, and was known as “a mean critter, right enough.” He had never been ridden nor driven, and the only way to enter his pasture with safety was first to drive him into his stall with rocks. | One day Doctor Price, who was then county inspector of meags, went copy | | a tlere is the chiet ot the police ol fisthonia, one of the new Baltic states Ten years ago she was a pedsant wom an doing chores her husband's farin.

When he was told of the animal's vicious disposition he took a heavy club, entered the pasture. and when Moonbeam rushed forward to attack him struck him on the nose. The horse was so surprised that that nately for Bill, the superintendent of the slaughter house was a kind-heart- ed man, He bought Bill and promised not to kill him. For some time Bill dwelt unmolest- ed in the slaughter house stable where Moonbeam had a stall all his own. One day in November, 1927. Bill broke a: leg, and next morning was found lying in the corner of Moonbeam’s exclusive stall, with Moonbeam guarding him from intrud ers. Even Doctor Price could not en- ter the stall until he had pacified the horse. In a few weeks Bill was well again, and every one supposed he would go out on his own. But no—he stayed with Moonbeam. Bill had refused food before. Now he ate heartily, but only in the pres ence of the horse, How much he ad- mired his equine benefactor was soon shown when Moonbeam was taken out to try some hurdles. The goat trotted alongside. They came to the first hurdle and , the horse went over easily. Bill stopped short, eyed the fence, and then, with a mighty standing leap came within inches of the top. but crashed back to the ground. Native cunning prompted him to run around the hurdle and catch up with Moon- beans, but he had learned the trick and cleared the next hurdle by inches. Then Moonbeam did his stunt of afternoon he let himself be saddled and ridden, and Doctor Price bought him and made of him a well behaved animal, with numerous tricks in his bag, including kneeling at command and rolling over. And now enters Bill on the end of a string held in the hand of a small boy with a tear-stained face. His father bad told him &e could not keep Bill, but must take him to the city slaughter house to be killed, Fortu kneeling, and Bill promptly knelt be. side him. Moonbeam rolled over, and Bill instantly did the same, and go! his horns stuck so fast in the sand he had to he helped to his feet. Nowadays the two share a stall on their master’s estate on Jolly island. a fashionable suburb of Charleston The islands is full of goats running at large, but Bill never even bats an eye at them, His one and only inter est is Moonbeam, So content is that when it becomes necessary to take the ho out alone Bill has to be tied in .is stall, where he whimp- ers until Moonbeam is brought back again, Artificial Legs in Shop Windows Menace Morals after taking the It was placed there last spring by Mrs. Robert Toda Lincoln together with the old family Bible of Abra- ham Lincoln and the gold medal presented to Mrs. Lincoln by the eciti- zens of France after President Lin- coln’s death, It is a small book with red plush covers and gilt-edged leaves. The two markers were left at the thirty-first chapter of Deuteronomy and the fourth chapter of Hosea. Both chapters contain verses partic- ularly appropriate to the dark days through which Lincoln passed soon oath of office. The sixth verse of the first named chapter reads: “Be strong and of good courage, fear not nor be afraid of them, for the Lord thy God, He it is that doth go with thee, He will not fail thee nor forsake thee.” The first three verses of the fourth chapter of Hosea, where the other marker rests, are as follows: “Hear ye the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel, for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land beéause there is no truth nor mercy nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing and lying and killing and stealing and committing adultery they break out and blood toucheth blood. Therefore, shall the land mourn and every one that dwell- eth therein shall languish with the beasts of the fields, and with the fowls of heaven, yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.” Entomologists’ Value Revealed by Institute Pittsburgh, Pa.—The absent-mind- ed professor who scampers after elusive butterflies and bugs with a net contributes much to the benefit of humanity, Carnegie Institute of Technology here has more than 1,500,000 speci- mens of bugs, beetles, ete., and of- ficials point out that study of myriad insects, gathered from near and far, reveals which is beneficial to man- kind, and discloses how to rid in- fested places of harmful insects. Pittsburgh is the home of four outstanding figures in the entomolog- ical world. Dr. W. J. Holland, di- rector emeritus of Carnegie museum, has a personal collection of speci- mens gathered from the four corners of the earth. Dr, Hugo Kahl, a na- tive of Sweden, presides over the mu- senm’s eollection, Associated with him are two others—H. G. Klages and B. Krautwurm, both well-known | entomologists.

Nome, Alaska.—Winter has ‘halted search for the Indian Kiu-Tok, who, government officers declare, has mur- dered more than a score of persons during his nine-year reign of terror over the upper Nushagak river valley, in southwestern Alaska. For nine years the Indian has played a lone hand, ruling supreme over “his territory.” For nine years he has evaded arrest. During that time trappers of the region who have attempted to eapture him have either mysteriously disappeared or have been found dead. Finally, in desperation, the trap- pers sent an appeal to federal authori- ties. The Indian must be caught or white men would be forced to leave the district, they said. Murder charges were sworn out against Klu-Tok, and a federal posse was sent in search of him late last summer. Before he eould be found, however, the early winter of the North inter- fered. The search has been post- poned until next spring. Klu-Tok, who is thirty-five years old, is said to have begun his “reign” shortly after his squaw was killed by an unknown white man, who fled the country. Officials say the death ef his wife left the Indian crazed with de- sire for revenge. The first two murders laid to “The Man of the Mountain,” as he is ealled, were in 1919. Two natives were killed then. He is said to have made the threat that two more would be killed, “all the same as moose.” | EASILY MADE Seven Flavors ELLY-QUICK saves the busy housewife’s time by the ease with which it is: made.

The actor, it so happened, had a cigarette case fash- foned like a pistol. He pointed this at the owner's head and ordered him into a back room. A neighbor called a cop, who found Breitenbach trying in vain to pull a diamond ring off the storekeeper's finger, while his Y. M. C.

Of next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell alwaya was in favor of getting as close to nature as possible, hence his remedy for consti- Pasion, known as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup epsin, is a mild vegetable compound. It can not harm the system and is not habit forming. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant- tasting, and youngsters love it. Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for anybody's system. In a practice of 47 years he never saw any reason for their use when Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just as promptly.
