HIS TWO
HOBBIES
By F. A. MITCHEL
Ned Corwln while in college, though
a good fellow and by no means a grind,
was a fine scholar and developed a
marked taste for zoology. Extinct ani
mals were his hobby—that is, one of
his hobbies, the one next in importance
with him being girls. Singular it Is
that bonea thousands of years old and
the most beautiful of living things—to
men—should reign side by side in the
breast of a man.
Later on Ned became a professor In
bis alma mater.
One day a newspaper announced that
In an interior county of the state, not
far from the college, a farmer had,
while di^siiiL', turned tip a stony sub
stance that was beyond his comprehen
sion. It was about two feet square
and rounded on the edges. The farmer
could not make out whether It was
bone or stone or Indeed what was Its
substance.
Ned saw the notice and Inferred that
it was probably a vertebra of an ex
tinct animal. He at once went to the
location designated, with a view to an
investigation. On arrival he was re
ceived by the daughter of the fanner.
She was a very pretty rustic, nnd for
the moment Ned forgot all about the
bones in his admiration of the girl.
However, his admiring glnnces were
Interspersed with the reasons for his
being there, and it was not long be
fore she gave way to surprise that be
had come all the way from the univer
sity to examine a piece of stone. Sbe
told him where he could find it and,
after having made a little incipient
love to her, which he well knew how
to do with his eyes without using his
tongue, he took a spade from an out
house and went to examine the stone.
When the young professor returned
from his investigations he was greatly
changed. He had been under the in
fluence of one of his two natures, now
he was under the other. He had been
absorbed in a girl, now he was absorb
ed in the petrified remains of an ich
thyosaurus. He talked to the girl, but
his mind was on the ichthyosaurus.
"It's carnivorous," he said. ''They all
were."
"What!" exclaimed the girl, opening
her eyes.
"The snout of a porpoise; the teeth
of a crocodile."
There was no reply to this, nothing
but a look of wonder.
"The sternum of an ornithorhynchus
combined with the paddles of a whale."
"Oh, my good gracious." exclaimed
the girl, "he's crazy!"
"Fish vertebrae, lizard's hend."
"Father!" cried the girl in terror.
But her father was out in the fields
and did not hear.
"Four paddles and an enormous tali
Must have surely been aquatic."
This was quite enough for the farm
er's daughter. She bad no doubt that
the visitor was mad, and it behooved
her to beat a retreat- She dare not
run for fear of being followed and
murdered. She was of good pluck, and,
Qilng her eyes on Ned's, she backed
toward the house. On reaching the
door she slipped inside, bolting it be
hind her.
"What the dickens is the matter with
that girl?" said Ned to himself, sud
denly aroused from his reverie about
the Ichthyosaurus. The farmer's daugh
ter fled through the house, out by the
back door and, keeping in line with
outhouses and trees to screen her from
the maniac, found her father at the
plow.
"What in the world Is the matter,
Pynthle?" he asked, stopping the horses
and looking at her in astonishment.
"Have you seen a ghost!"
"Worse than that, dad. There's a
crazy man on t'other side of the
house."
"How do you know he's crazy?"
"Fust off he looked as if he wanted
to kiss me; then he borrowed a spade
and went to where you turned up the
rock t'other day. When he come back
he was talkin" loonpy—iibout some kind
of a beast with a head like a fish and
teeth like a crocodile and paddles for
to swim and an awful long tail."
"Are you sure he's mad?"
"Mad as a March hare."
"I'll go and see him."
"Don't you do it, pop: he'll kill you
sure."
"\V:ial, then, reckon I Detter git tne
neighbors together and take him in.
Did he say where he lives?"
"Yes; he's got somepin to do with the
college."
"All right. I'll git KawWns and
Smith and we'll corral him and take
him home."
That same afternoon voneu the stu
dents were tossing a ball between
them on the campus two stalwart farm
ers were seen approaching, each hold-
Ing the arm of a man. When they
lame nea? enough all recognized Pro
fessor Corwin and were seized with
apprehension.
"Reckon this man belongs here." said
one of the men. "He come to my farm
this mornin' and undertook to spark
my dnrter. Then he went to the stone
I dug up t'other day. and when he
come back he was mad, talkin' ahoot
some kind of a big lizard with alliga
tor's teeth and such like."
One of the listeners who caught on
to the situation burst Into a laugh. The
professor's face took on a shamefaced
grin: then the crowd shouted In mer
riment Taking him from his raptors
the students, with whom he trai a
great favorite, lifted him In the nlr ami
carried him to his room

A Story of
Abraham Lincoln's
Physical Strength
By EUNOR MARSH
If Abraliani Lincoln had lived till his
birthday falling due In February, 1916,
he would have been 107 years old.
Had he not fallen In his prime at the
hand of an assassin or been taken off
In some other unnatural way he would
doubtless have lived to a great Iga, for
Ue wus physically a very strong man.
We may well wonder how Abraham
Lincoln endured the strain of four
years of civil war, millions of people
looking at him to' bring about a resto
ration of the Union, foreign nations
threatening to Intervene, thus Insuring
tlio division of the country; vainly try
ing to find generals who could accom
plish results, and constantly abused
for what was considered his misman
agement It would mm that no man
without herculean strength could live
through such an ordeaL
That the physical structure of Abra
ham Lincoln was equal to the require
ments is made plain by the following
story told of him many years ago by
a friend of his boyhood who was em
ployed hi tho same store with Lincoln.
"Billy," said Abe one day, "what
makes you bet with Enoch? Tou ought
to know better than to bet with v man
on his own tricks. If he dldn"t know
he had a sure thing he wouldn't bet"
The advice was given because this
Enoch would come Into the store In
the evening ostensibly for the purpose
of loafing, but really to win small bets
by a number of tricks. One of these
was doubling up his hand so as to hide
one of his fingers. He would bet that
Billy couldn't mnrk that particular fin
ger. Of course Enoch always won
such bets. When Abe advised Billy
to stop betting the latter told him that
he had lost nearly a dollar to Enoch
and he didn't wish to stop till the
money was won back.
"Will you promise me," said Abe,
"that you'll oeven bet any more if I
put you In a way to win back what
you have lost and a great deal more?"
"Tou bet!" replied Billy.
"How would you like a plug hat to
wear with your Sunday clothes? It
would set you up with the girls."
"I'd like a plug hat first rate, but
how am I going to get one, seeing that
it would coat me $7? It would take
pretty nigh a week's salary."
"I reckon I can help you to one. At
any rate, we can try the next time
Enoch comes around and wants to bet
yon on his tricks. Tell him that you've
got tired betting picayune amounts,
but If he really wants to bet something
worth while you'll go him; then. If he
agrees, you offer to bet him that Abe
Lincoln can take a forty gallon barrel
of whisky off the floor and drink out
of the bunghole."
"Can you do that. AbeT
"Reckon I can. After the store
closes tonight I'll try it"
As soon as tho proprietor had gone
home for the day the two clerks shut
up the store, and there was a re
hearsal, at which Atie convinced Billy
that he would risk nothing provided
he could get Enoch to take the bet
The next day Enoch came Into the v
store and had not l>;*>n there long be
fore he called to Billy an offer to bet
him on some new trick that had not
yet been demonstrated. Billy was
weighing out some sugar at the time
and said he hadn't time to do any fool-
Ing. But Enoch hung around till Billy
had finished what he was doing, when
he renewed his offer. Billy consented
to talk with him aud during the inter
view said:
"Do you know. Enoch, how strong
Abe Lincoln is?"
"No, I don't, but I reckon he's pretty
strong."
"I shouldn't be surprised If Abe could
lift up one of those barrels of whisky
over there In the corner and take a
drink out of the bnnghole."
"Bet you a quarter he can't"
"Now, look a-bere. Enoch. I don't
want any more of these small bets,
[f you want to bet something to make
it worth while I'll no you. but if you
don't, why. let's h;ive no more talk
about it"
"What you want to bet Billy?"
"On Abe's being nUe to take a forty
gallon barrel off tue floor and drink
out of the bunghok'."
"I'll bet you lie cant do it"
"Enoch, I'm wauling a plug hat, and
m&yba you're wanting one. Did you
ever wear one?"
"I had one once. 11 set me off fine."
"Well, here's your chance to get an
ulher. I'll bet you ■ plug hat that Abe
can take that barrel —the big oue—up
off the floor and taka a dram out o' the
bung hole."
There was a good di-al of dickering,
and Enoch tried to lift the barrel him
self, not succeeding in stirring It
Finally he agreed to Billy's proposi
tion, and the bet was dnly made In the
presence of witness.•«
Abe being called upon to decide the
bet, advanced to the barrel nnd. stoop
ing, tilted it on Ml ri^ht knee. Then
he bent backward, nnd Billy pulled out
the bang. Abe rrsMd his neck for
ward and took a drink ont of the bung
hole, spit it out "ii the floor and set
the barrel down again.
That was the lam time Enoch came
into the store with Ills betting offers.
He paid the forfeit, and Billy kept his
promise to Abe to bet no more.
Years passed, and the man who had
performed this feat was called upon to
perform another, one of the {rreatest
feats required of any man who has
ever lived. Who knows but that with
out the ability to do the one he would
have been unable to do the other?
Physical Conditions of School Children
Largely Determine Their Conduct
It has been proven undeniably by
the New York Children's Hygiene De
partment that truancy of school children
is caused mainly by physical defects.
Recently the Department of Education
lof that city requested the Bureau of
Child Hygiene to undertake the phys
ical examination of truants summoned
before the district superintendent for
a hearing. The results so far, following
an examination of 85 such truants are
vrry interesting.
It was found that 77, or 90. of
such truants examined were found to
have defective eyesight; 64, or 75'/<
were found to have some obstruction
to the nasal breathing; 26, or 30. had
boDe deformities; 20 '/< had heart trou
ble, and 2 were subject to convulsions.
Another interesting fact that devel
oped thru this examination was the
part that environment plays in truancy.
In many instances the family life and
history appeared to have a definite
bearing. Among the parents were
found alcoholism, insanity and tuber
culosis. Family quarrels, squalid homes
and gang life played their parts also.
The need of physical examination
for school children as a means of im
proving their health and aiding in their
education bee imes more and more
apparent.
