Champ Clark Is a close student of the Bible. It is often remarked by those who have heard the Missouri leader address the bouse that his knowledge of the Scriptures Is remarkable and that his memory for verbatim quotations parallels bis learning on Biblical subjects. During the recent campaign In Mr. Clark's district his opponent for the seat In congress was Judge Reuben F. Roy. Mr. Clark wanted an appropriate quotation with .which to clinch his argument against the jurist with which to clinch his argument against the Jurist. He turned again to the (scriptures aS the most fertile field. At the conclusion of every on4 of his stump speeches he paused, lowered his voice and said: "Reuben, unstable as water, thou shalt not excel" "Reuben didn't, Mr. Clark now says with an unctlous Inflection. THOUGHT HE RAN OVER LION, ONLY SKIN Hackensack. N. J., Dec. 3. "Gee w his. I just run over a lion," exclaimed a motorman on the Hudson river trolly line, as be stopid his car on Passaic street, Hackensack, and opened the front door to arouse the sleep passengers. There was considerable excitement and Inspector Harry Haddon was the first to speak. "How did you know It was a Hon?" he asked. "My heavens, man, the searchlight shone tight on his bead, and there were the big eyes wide open and the mouth wide open, showing his teeth, and I hated to do It," was the motortnan's answer. Inspector Haddon never hunted In the jungles, but he bravely walked lack along the track. There was the lion's head, all right, but the balance of It was a monster lu probe. The trolley wheel had ripped the skin In the middle. The Inspector took the lion to police headquarters and for a moment Sergeant O'Shea was rudely Knocked. The valuable robe was no doubt dropped from an automobile. McLEAN ASKS PAY FOR REFUSING DRINK Cincinnati. Dec. 3. Larry McLean, the big catcher of the Reds, will soon make a new proposition In regard to his salary if he is to play with the team next year. Larry says he will insist upon being paid at the rate of 25 cents for every drink he refutes during the coming year. "I was made to sign a fool contract last year." said Larry today, "and now I'm going to have a contract of my own. I was to lose $25 every time I touched a drink after my fling at Hot Srrings. Now 1 want to be paid for every drink I refuse. "I will pay for a man to go around r.ith me, eat with me, sleep with me and be with me all the time to see that 1 don't take a drink, and to get the correct number of times I am asked to take a drink a day. This may sound foolish, but It Is on the level." McLean insists that he means every word he says about his new contract, anr proposes to have it drawn up within a few days. Two concession for supplying Mexican cities with gas plants have recently been secured by an American r.nd both run for 50 years, during which time the plant hall be exempt from taxation.

BOTH SEXES VII
Men Undergo Operations to Improve Appearance. Boston. Mass.. Dec. 3. "Vanity is about equally distributed between the sexes," said a beauty doctor to a Boston reporter. "Men are not more vain than women, cor women than men, though I believe that women get the credit generally for more vanity. I could tell you many tales of the operations men go through with to be made more beautiful. "Look at this picture of this old ber.n. Isn't he handsome? He is 85 if he is a day, and I think there is hardly a part of his countenance that he hasn't come here to have some line of his face carved into greater mobility and beauty. I have cut open the bags under his eyes and se-.ved them up again, taken out unnecessary cuticle; 1 have sewed up the wrinkles around his mouth, doctored his doubleciin and shaped up the lobes of his ears to suit his idea of grace and beauty. "These operations are not painful at the moment, because I use plenty of cocaine, but you'd think the after-ef fect would be too much for such an old gentleman. Wouldn't you? But it is rot. He is bound to be beautiful. "I had another old customer who was a queer guy. He wanted his chin made into the shape of Napoleon's. He brought a little- bust of Napoleon with him every time he came for me to carve it by. Had me take piece after piece out of his chin to square it. I was glad when I got his chin to his liking and he took himself and the bust off. "Men arc. fairly steady of nerve when it comes to these delicate operations, but they aren't in it with the women. They seem to be able to stand any sort of pain better than men. A woman came to me not long ago to have her ears sewed back. They rtood out in a way that was anything but beautiful, put her in the chair and examined her ears. They were in a frightful condition. I found many places that had been stitched again and again, some that were not healed yet. " 'You have already been operated on.' " I said. "No; she hadn't. Finally she admitted the truth. Her ears were so abnormal she was ashamed of them. When she went to a party she had her maid sew them back to her head with a common needle and thread. "What do you think of that? No cocaine, no anything, and yet she stood it again and again, many times, from the looks of her ears. "You should see the list of Newport swells I have operated on, who telegraph me to come down, all expenses paid, whenever they want a tuck taken in an eyelid or a reef in a double chin or a stitch in an upper eyelid or an eyebrow carved into more graceful lines than those followed by Nature. The common people must remain as God made them, but not so the rich. I make them over. When you've got money to burn, it's a quick way to burn it." ALLIGATORS' NESTS. They Resemble Haystacks and Are Natural Incubators. "An alligators' nest is an interesting thing." said Alligator Joe. "Wild alligators build their nests on the bank of a river or in marshy places. They are made of mud. saw grass and leaves and mold. They are sort of natural Incubators, for the eggs, which are laid from thirty-five to eighty in a nest at one time, are hatched out by the steam which comes up through the mud as much as by the sun. Around the nest a pile of grass is laid, sometimes as high as six feet, and from a distance resembles a stack of bay. The mother gator has her den near by. She makes it by burrowing into a bank of soft mud. and sometimes it Is seventy feet or more inland. The only way to get her out of a den like that is to take a long steel rod and thrust it down the tunnel, which is always slanting. When the gator feels the prodding she will come out to -see what the trouble Is. "It takes alligator eggs two months and six days to hatch. When the little ones coiae out the mother calls them together by a noise which is something between a cluck and a grunt, and they all scramble down from the nest to her den. If It is on the edge of a rivt-r the den is filled with minnows. As the mother enters the den she swishes b?r tall around with terrific force, killing the .raallcst fish, and when they Host the little alligators nab thcni up. "A mother alligator will sometimes have four or five dens, and she takes her brood from one to another, repeat lug the swishing process in each onf until the young ones hae bad a full meal." -Harriet Quimby In Leslie's. Tom's Memory. "Before I went away I told Tom Jusr what I wanted him to d about the bouse from day to day. nud to make it doubly sure I talked my orders into our phonoirrnph so he could play the record each night and so remember. "And did be then forget 3" -I fonnd everything in the houe ! about ruined. He said be couldn't bear to play the phonograph in aay absence: it reminded him so of me and mad him louely." Boston Herald. Spider With a Lasso. SpUt?rs have a number of ingenious ways of alluring and catching their prey. A writer in Popular Science describes an American spider which haunt evergreen trees and snares Its dinner by means of a kind of lasso. The web of toe spider Is triangular In form.
