They say every man has his double and that seems to be true in the case of the late Will Rogers —in looks, however. The Cleve-; land man can pose like Rogers. ‘ but it will take more than that to j endear him to the people and to replace the beloved cowboy philosopher and actor.

Be- | head again and the same "bit” is left. Drop the b and "it" still remains. , The thing which the word dei fines is equally resistant. A fixed . habit becomes so much a part of a person's daily life that it is followed unconsciously; and to rid one's self of it becomes increasingly difficult, with its continued indulgence. Os course all habits are not ' i vicious. Many are good and should | not be abandoned. But since all I grow more persistent as they are : longer followed, and since each ! habit is likely to have some influence upon the forming of con tinned practice of others, it is wise to exercise caution against the contraction of those which are bad Habits are as insidious as they are persistent. They often become dominating before one is aware of it. Fortunately this is as true of good ones as it is of bad ones. The suggestion is obvious. Elk's Magazine. Q Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE Q.
