strong enough on night school and other hardshios to forge to the front. It la ea9y for a handsome man to get an easy Job, and easy for a pretty girl to imagine that her face is her fortuna. Great men are seldom handsome. The thing that makes the cartoonist's
job a comparatively simple one is that
most of the men in public life -whom
they draw have striking eccentricities
of feature. If Roosevelt, Fairbanks,
Cannon, Morgan, Rockefeller and the
rest were models of Grecian beauty the men who caricature them would
have to go cut of business. '
But when you come to the question
of vigor and grace of body, that's an other thing. A strong, well-shaped man or woman is . likely to have a mental activity of corresponding strength and poise, because vigor and
shapeliness are indicators of health, and health of body means health of mind. Thin, anemic people are bright and capable sometimes, but it's safer for an employer to take chances of helpers that look healthy.

BEVERIDGE'S STRENGTH. A poll -taken systematically In Lake County by the Lake County Times, among 3,200 voters, shows 981 for Taft, 923 for Roosevelt,-417 for Bevaridge, 398 for Laf ollette, 72 for Fairbanks, 76 scattering and 430 non-committal. The notable thing about the returns- Is the strength shown by Beverldgo when his name has not been put forward as a presidential quantity. It Is the more striking because in Lake county are many foreigners who know only the names of Taft and Roosevelt. In Gary, therefore, Bevertdge's vote was small, his friends being in the older towns and among the farmers. It is a "straw" vote, but It shows that though he has returned to private life, the people have him in mind. Indianapolis Star.

other feathered songsters, which havo
been wintering in the great sand dunes near the shores of Lake Michigan near Chesterton. For a number of years flocks number from fifty to ene hundred robins and other birds have spent the winter In the sheltered places, among the great sand piles, seemingly happy and contented. They have eked out an existence from frozen clusters of wild grapes and various seeds, and suffered
little from the rigors of cold. Today one flock;Of fifty-six robins was found frozen to death and not a sign of feathered life is to be seen among the dunes other than an occasional hawk or eagle. It is feared that all of the robins have perished in the cold. MARRIED IX JAIL.
