DID VOL EVEIt SEE
"I can't understand," said a young
ady of observation, "why you men, who
see so much and know so much, persist
iu the phrase, 'Keep a stiff upper lip.'
Vou use it as a sort of picturesque syno
nym lor urmncss ol purpose and V-
meanor, but it has no value as such. The
upper lip is not the weak member of the
twu. It is the under hp that wants stif
fening. The upper lip is practically ex
pressionless. It usually lies flat uu the
teeth, it is nearly always covered with
mustache 1 refer, of course, to the male
upper lip and in conversation, especially
in correctly languid conversation, it docs
not move at all. Like the Chinese joss,
it's a harmless creature and can he safely
lei alone.
"It is the nether lip that has to b
watched and controlled. I can always
tell when a man is going to propose to
me by the way in which he wets his un
der lip uud presses it against Ihe upper
fur companionship and support, just the
very things he is seeking fur. And
can always tell if a man is lying by
peculiar fluctuation and pulsation in this
same lower lip. He will look you right
straight in the eye, grow tierce and drop
bis voice into his boots through the
weight of his emotion, but if there i
that twitch about the lower lip I don
believe him, and I ve never been wrong
yet. If a man feels deeply, I mean feel:
sorrow, not affects it, it is in the treuiu
loudness of the under lip that he shows
it. The sensitive man's lower tip is sel
dom still, and there is sometimes about
it a positive pulsation that takes in the
whole cuive of the chin. The pout be
gins in the lower lip and is really confined
to it, for the upper lip is only pushed
out by pressure from below. You can
pout with your upper lip alone.
"In fact, you can't assume or affect
any expression with the upper lip alone,
Just try it. Hold the lower lip firm with
the finger and look in the glass there.
The mouth has become simply a hole
the tace, you see, aud so lar as the ex
prtssionful character of the lip goes it is
as if you bad lost a feature.
"If you want to keep back a smile, it's
the lower lip that you must look after
Weakness begins there, whether of shar
acter, heallh or age. It is not the weak
upper lip that tells of down fall. It
the drooping, pendulous lower lip that
shows il. And let me tell you snmething
please, fur the bem tit of my sisters wb
have not had the advan 1 incau the ex
perienee that I have. Tell them that
whenever they sec the lower lip of their
male companions tutn out and over thick
that it's a danger signal. It's the red
flag of mischief, and they had better say
good by. Keep a stiff lower lip, young
aian." New York Sun.

Ouc of the stories credited lo Con
gressman John Allen, ol JUSMsssppi,
relates to an old negro who went to
Washington to secure un office. lie
ailed Allen out of his house, and, upon
explaining his mission, the Congressman
thus turned loose on him:
"Do you know anything about pbysi-
ology, meteorology, eonchnlogy or biology?
,'an you go back to the paleozoic age and
demonstrate in technical terminology the
anthropology, fauna or zoology of that
poeb? Can you dissect the pterodactyl
or the itchthyosaurus or prepare a scien
tific report of otie of the pachyderms of
the glacial period? Can you reconstruct
for the edification of a profound profes
sor of buggology the bicacious sauriaus
that were seen by early navigators in the
dim dawn of tho brazen age?"
The old man fell back in dumb bewil
dennent.
"I say," went on Allen, "can you do
these things off hand on cross-examination,
without drawing a breath or stop
ping to think? Il not, go back to your
district and pray for the return of an
other era of Democratic sovereign's
with a President pledged to the repeal of
the civil service act."
When, after wiping the oozing s'eat
from his brow, the dusky pilgrim from
Mississippi finally regained the power of
speech, be humbly stammered:
"I reckon, sub, dem queshuns is in
tended fur young cullud pussons wbut
has got dey eddycation in collige. I is
jest a plain, ev'yday nigger. I reckon I
wua bawn too soon."

A young man who didn't know?
Au old man who didn't remember?
A politician who wouldn't promise ?
A pretty girl who didn't look saucy ?
A town go forward rapidly when part
of its people pull against the other part?
Any kind of weather over which seme

how every other business ought to be

The backward child may indeed be
deficient in application, not in capacity.
Should this be so, arouse bim, not by a
hailstorm of nagging or a down pour o
fault findiug, but by a system ol rewards
lovingly adapted to bis disposition and
character. Suffer no discouragement to
creep into your own heart concerning
him, and do uot allow bim or bet to feil
that there is reason for auy duubt about
its reaching the top of ihe l.iddder in
due season. The top, mind, not the mid
dle rounds; any one eau reach these. Sel
definite aim before your child, cultivate
a high and nobl ideal, but be willing to
climb slowly. Haste is at the root of
many a failure, haste and lack of thor
ghoess as one goes on
With a tender regret for lost opportu
nities, who has uot seen a mature woman
timid, self conscious, handicapped from
youth to gray hairs simply because she
was a "backward ' child ouce, and there
fore was snubbed and ridiculed, and
pushed into ihe background, while her
sisters and brothers horn off the honors
and were ihe objects of universal estima
tion? A wrong lor life was done to the
little daughter, and her daughter may
perhaps suffer Iroui the same old mis
take, for wrongs are far reaching. Be
pitiful and just to the backward child
in your home. Margaret E. Sangster.
