A Breach of Good Form.
There Is a little cast end girl, stll!
under six, who reaches the limit In the
inatter>of sensitiveness. Likewise she
has her points In respect to dead game
ness. She was taken about a week ago
to spend n few days with her aunt.
The little miss played around In front
of her aunt's place for awhile. Then
her aunt let a playful young terrier
Into the yard, saying to the elilld:
"This w your little four footed cous
in."
Fire minutes later the aunt returned
to the front yard to call the kid Into
the house, but she wasn’t anywhere to
be seen The fox terrier was playing
alone. There was a scrambling fmnt
for the child and all kinds of alarm,
but the little girl didn't turn up. The
aunt hustled Into town. The little girl
was home with her inotber.
Kho hud walked right to tho car for
town as soon as tho fox terrier pup
was presented to her.
“Why didn’t you atay at aunty**?”
her mother asked her in surprise.
“She introduced mo to a dog!** re
plied the huughty young person.—Cin

“Tho Soul of Qolf."
Ono who knew the soul of godf haw
it and described it. It was a tricky
green, with a drop of twenty feet t»e
hlnd it. To have overrnn it would
have ln*en fatal. There wa* a atilT
head wind. Tho player would not rink
running up. He cut well In under the
hall to g<*t nil the hack spin ho could.
He pitched the ball well up against
the wind, which caught It and, on ac
count of tho spin, threw Lt np and up
until it aonred almost over the holo,
then It dropped like a slsit bird about
a yard from the hole, and tho back
spin gripped tin* turf and held tho ball
within a foot of where it fell. It was
obvious to one man that It was a
crude shot, it was equally obvious
to another, who knew the Inner se
crets of the game, that It wa* a bril
liantly conceived and beautifully exe
cuted stroke. One man saw nothing of
the soul of tho stroke. Ho got the
husk and the other took the kernel.

THs Irishman's Resource.
In his volume of essays, "1 ►reams
Dead Earnest and Half Jest." Mr.
Coulson Ivernnhan compares Ms com
patriots, the natives of the (Jreen Isle,
with the English:
“’I hat your Englishman never Knows
when he Is beaten Is the veriest plati
tude. In nil the world there 1m no nn
t lima lit.r which can piny « losing game
with such desperate dogged ness. I
venture to think, however, that the
Irishman- and therein l* perhaps a
reason why he excels In the art of war
—Is more resourceful. Is quicker to
think and quicker to act. 9
“An Englishman, finding himself in a
corner so tight that any one el.es would
decide at once that there was pothlng
for It but surrender or retreat, says.
‘Here I utn, and here I’ll stick to ho
shot at till I’m Killed or till relief
comes.’ An Irishman In the same place
would say: ’It’s the mischief’s own
bole I’m In! Ilut wait now! What
way Ml I Is* getting out?’ And get out
the Irishman generally does, for lie Is
so resourceful that his resourcefulness
might sometimes l*e bettor described
as sIlpperlnoHH.”

A BLIGHT ,
By ELIZABETH WEED '
Copyright. 1910. by American Press
Association.
Edith Wilton combi nod two marked
contradictions. She possessed a lov
able disposition, but when she was a
baby, through the carelessness of a
nurse, she fell and cut her lip, produc
ing a wound that In healing left a
soar, giving a very dlsagrooabla ex
pression to her face.
Kdlth could see In the fncee of thoee
she met a repugnance occasioned by
hor expression. At first ahe tried to
obvlnte this effect by smiling, but she
saw at once by the further recoil of
tlie ono looking at her that sho was
only heightening the disagreeable Im
pression. Such physical blights usual
ly hnve one of two effects, either the
blighted person Is unconscious of the
defect or becomes painfully sensitive
concerning it. Kdlth was of the lat
ter class. She would not go to the
social gatherings of her own age. More
and more she shrank within herself.
Then, becoming conscious that in bo
Ing u recluse she would be forced Into
a life of selfishness* she began to de
vote herself to the poor.
Sho had friends, girl friends, who
sought to draw her out socially. Con
fidence between young girls Is close,
while that between opposite sexes, es
pecially at that age. Is dlstnnt Tho
young men who met Edith looked
ii|*on tho expression on her furs and
turnod away with a shrug. Her girl
friends had a better opportunity to
learn what there wus under tho mis
leading expression. When ono of her
chums was married sho insisted on
Kdlth tielng her bridesmaid, Edith
demurred, blither friend would not ex
cuno her.
At the wedding tho bridesmaid,
looking up suddenly, saw the eyes of
a young mnn she Imd never seen rivet
ed upon her and without thnt repolled
expression sho wns accustomed to see.
The man wns a recant graduate of a
medical school. The reason why his
fnco did not reflect sqy disagreeable
expression at her defect was boenuno,
being a practitioner, he was used to
controlling his features when treating
his imtlonts.
Hut Kdlth dlil not know this. Kho
knew only that u man with a kindly
face wus looking at her without any
reference to her dcfoct. And when
Dr. Allan Kinerson requested un In
troduction and was presented to her
her heart fulrly bounded within fier.
Not for nn Instant while he chatted
with her did lie seein conscious of her
blight. And sho, being inude to feel
that It was Inconsequential, roao alcove
It oo far as to display the reul attrac
tiveness and worth that were In her.
And yet tho reason of tho young doc
tor's desire to make her acquaintance
was that vory defect, lie had been
otwervlng her before she had noticed
him and with s professional eye had
been watching the effect of her acar
upon the various expressions that flit
ted across her face. Some physicians,
rough lu manner, though they may ho
Invaluable helpers to Hie nflllctod,
would not havo scrupled to betray tho
real object of their Interest. ICmorson
was of a different kind, lie not only
concenled his own thoughts fur pro
fessional reasons, but from an Innate
sense of delicacy.
Whatever be the exnet analyst* of
his foellngs. the set produced a mink
ed Impression upon Kdlth Wilton. A
man whose personnel, whoso bearing,
wns far at>ov* the average bad not
only failed to show any repugnance
st her defoct, but had asked to be lu
, trodueed to her and chatted with I rr,
displaying unusual Interest In her
without seeming to be conscious that
there was any difference between her
and otber girls, unless to her advan
tage. Hut when he asked her If he
might not call upou her the cup of her
delight was full.
A few mouths after the meeting Dr.
Rmerson asked Kdith to be his wife.
WUeu she had accepted him he men
tioned for the first time her defect,
letting her know that be believed he
could remove Mt least Its effect*.
“Why.” said Kdith. “didn’t you re*
move it before proposing to meT”
“Because, aweotheart,“ he replied,
“those stupid men who have been
passing you by would havo learned of
your real worth, aud the flold would
havo beeu full of rivals.”
Thero was more In her eye# than In
her words when she replied. “You
know very well that none of them
wore to bo feared by you.”
But Kdith dreuded lest In case an
operation were not auccesaful her lover
might find himself tied through llfo
to n blighted woman and unhappiness
for both would result She therefore
Insisted on having the o(>orntlon per
formed and If the trouble wore re
moved the marriage to take place aft
erward. Dr. Kmeraon demurred to
this, saying that whether the op
eration were or were not a success he
would not give her tip. Both stood
firmly on the ground fhnt they hml
taken, hut the man, since tin* result
would be the same to him In nny
event, finally yielded
Tho operation was merely a matter
of delicate handling. Its only object be
ing to produce a certain riwult of
facial expression. Dr. I'mcrson per
formed it himself, covering the wound
he made with a piece of skin
from tho arm of another person. When
the whole had healed and the band
age* wore removed, though the scar
remained, the expression on the face
had entirely changed.
Dr. Kmersoti Is facetious in bis re
marks upon how he kept rivals from
the girl he wanted and whom as his
wife he coualders a treasure.
“That's the Way They All Do.”
An enthusiastic citizen about to visit
Kuropo was rejoicing over the fact
and the pleasure to come.
“Mow delightful It will be,” bo sukl
to Ids wife, “to tread the hounding bil
lows and inhale the Invigorating oxy
gen of the sou, tho aea, tho boundless
