HiS SYMPATHIES WITH ELK Somewhat Natural, Since Animal Re»> cued Engineer From Extremely Awkward Position. A curious story of adventure comes from Montana. While a freight train was lying over at a small mountain station, the engineer borrowed a shot* pin and started out for a short hunt. Finding nothing, he was returning to the train when a cow came running at Iiiiu, and before ho realized his dan ger, t=be tossed him In the air. Getting to his feet as quickly as possible, he dodged behind a tree, ard then, to his dismay, found that the gun barrel was bent so as to be useless. The next ten minutes were ve;y lively ones, while the cow chased the engineer round and round the trt“c. Just when he was about to suc cumb from fatigue, an angry snort was heard, and a big elk appeared upon the scene, head down and prepared for a fight. So was the oow, and in another mo ment the two animals dashed at each other. The engineer watched the com bat for a few minutes, until prudence euggosted that he should make a re treat Ks soon as he could. He re gained the train In safety, and never kni w the outcome of the battle, but he hopes the elk was the victor. Preferred Jail to Marrltft^ A country judge In England htA |oit vered the most eentimentsl Uu ever heard of in hii partleular ‘ neck of the woods.” He told a bur glar bo would suspend sentenott on him ne would agree to marry and cettle down or get a dog or oaaarr iQ order to liave something to work for. Oddly enough, the burglar oould- n’t see it that way, and took a y«ar’t imprisonment instead.

Red is the fashionable color of wom an’s hair just now, but in many pe- i riods and countries to have red hair . meant to test the depths of misfor- ; tune, even of death. Prejudice against red hair runs back i even to Egyptian times, for in that land of decided opinions and strong i prejudices it v.as the custom to burn alive some unfortunate individual cursed with red hair, so it was decid- I edly uncomfortable to have red hair ! I in Egypt, as no one knew whose turn | would come next. : That the Chinese shared this preju- | dice against red hair is proved by i their epithet for the English, whom ' they called “red-haired barbarians” { or “red-haired devils." ; The great exception to this rule ! among ancient nations is the Romans, | for since the time of Nero they have i praised red hair in the highest terms, i They preferred a dark red, almost | brown, such as we term auburn, and , modern Romans share this liking. It is said that among the patrician families of Rome and Florence there Is an ab- I normally large number of red-haired j eat is at ■ women. Modern Greeks share this pre- ! dllection with the Romans and they ; highten the reddish effect of the hair | by wearing dull gold ornaments. j One of the most frequent causes of j the prejudice against red hair in Chris- | tian countries undoubtedly goes back j to the tradition that Judas, the be trayer of Jesus, had red hair, and most of the artists paint him thus. Shakes peare refers to this in “As You Yike ! It,” when Rosalind says of Orlando, ; i “His very hair is of the dissembling I color,” and Celia answers: “Some- | i thing browner than Judas.” ! I The Brahmins v/ere forbidden to j marry red-haired women and, as has :■ i been said: “The populace of most | j countries, confounding moral with es- | j thetic impressions, accuse red-haired I people of various shortcomings.” ! Besides the old tradition of Judaa I having been red-haired aiding to cre ate the prejudice existing In many i lands the fact of the feeling against red hair in England is set down to the red-haired Danes, who could not be regarded save as invaders and bar barians.

It seems almost as if we modern folk studied deliberately to appear Ill- tempered In the ej'es of our fellow-be- ings, fearing lest a relaxation from our habitual frown should lower us in the esteem of those we meet. Yet surely the opposite should be the case. The sour expression Is that of the beaten woman, the failure. The well- to-do, the successful, should, of all peo ple, be the happier. There is nothing undignified In a smile; one should not be ashamed of a light heart and a clear conscience. But the world has created a tradition that the cares of responsibility must be marked by a furrowed brow. It finds the women with a merry laugh, In business hours certainly, a woman to be treated with caution. “This woman laughs,” says the world, in ef fect; “she cannot be a sound woman; phe Is too frivolous.” Dull, dour and unbending, the world, our world, plods on its way, hoarding Its smiles for fear of its dignity, un til at last it forgets to smile alto gether. Generations of scowling faces have taught us to usspe't the smiling ones. We fear their owners are endeavoring to ingratiate them selves with us for no good purpose. To regard things cheerfully is to be tray a lack of solidarity and worth. didn’t hurt a WNy HAVE TOOTHACnE?: If your tooth is not ab- cessed and your gums swollen we can take the tooth out with such won derful ease that you will never again dread having a tooth pulled.

I She w’as surprised, however, to find, j on the occasion of one visit to the fu- I ture dwelling, her husband removing I his clothes. “Why, John, what on earth are you I doing? Are you going to bed?” I “Of course I‘m going to bed,” said I John. “I’m going to get my clothes I over here like you are yours. Now, 1 then, you see, I will just go over to the j house and get on another suit.” Needless to say his wife soon settled that.
