SHOWS HOW LAZY A CLERK CAN BE
THE lazy governm* nt clerk has so
long born a standard type In cur
rent fiction that his follow, the lazy
bureau chief, is often utterly neglect
od. Of course, the bureau chief Is
fewer and farther between than the
clerk, and his laziness is thereby not
•quite so apparent.
A caller entered the anteroom to a
certain bureau chief's den "Is Mr
K " he began
The clerk was busy at the telephone
and waved a hospitable hand toward
a row of empty chairs.
"Just a minute," he said, and then
turned again to the telephone. The
visitor tried not to overhear, but nev
ertheless got something like this
"What did Murphy say to that? .
O. come now. . You did?
Get out. . . . Not sr you r notice It.
The reason was I felt tired and went
out for a walk with Murphy

Some Good Beauty Advice to the
Woman Who Does Her Own
Housework.
Because a woman doon her own
housework there Jb no reason why hei
hands should he eoarso and red.
Dishes may bo washed and ail the
sweeping and dusting done without in
any way destroying the natural tex-
ture of the skin, if only a person is
willing to take a few simple precau
(ions.
On every sink there should stand a |
jnr of vaseline or other heavy grease.
There will also he required a cake of
good toilet soap and a pair of old kid
gloves. The latter must he perfectly
clean inside.
Immediately after washing the
dishes and pans the hands should be
carefully washed in clean warm water
with tho toilet soap, using a nail brush
at the same time. Incidentally, there
will be a tremendous saving to tHe
fingers If the pans are washed by put-
ting a strong soap powder into them
as soon as removed from the stove,
adding a little hot water and then re-
placing them on the stove for a few
minutes.
When the water comes to a boil a
small, stiff brush may bo washed
around in the tins. They are rinsed In
clear water and are scrupulously clean
without the fingers having coino into
contact with the grease.
When the fingers have been washed
and wiped, the nails and backs of the
hands aro to be thoroughly greased
and the gloves drawn on. They should
be worn all the time that sweeping
and dusting Is being done. On finish-
ing the housework the gloves are re-
moved and the skin will bo found soft
and smooth.
If any cream adheres It may be
washed off, wiping with a dry towel.
This treatment will keep the s*kin
soft, no matter what work is done.
FADS IN ENGAGEMENT RINGS
While Nearly All Are Diamond Soli-
taires, Some Persons Prefer Va-
riety in Shape and Settings.
Grand Avenue
Oklahoma Citv
A Jeweler says that ninety-nine out
of every hundred engagement rings
bought from him are diamond soli
taires. These are plainly set in a nar-
row band of gold with raised effect
and only differ from one another in
the size and purity of the stone.
Occasionally a man wants some
thing different. Sometimes it will be
tho birthstone of his fiancee. Other
men will have a mixed ring, the name
of each stone representing a letter of
the name.
Square engagement rings are in fa- J
vor just now. A solitaire diamond of
this shape has small diamonds set in
the sides of the ring itself.
Another engagement ring fancy
among couples that like to defy super 1
st it ion, is a big, deep-toned opal sot
with 13 diamonds. Colored stones are ■
not especially popular for engagement
rings, but if the fiancee has a fancy
for a special stone, as an emerald,
turquoise, ruby or opal, it is often
chosen, sometimes alone, usually sur-
rounded by diamonds.
When an engagement ring must be
inexpensive it is a pretty sentiment to
choose a moonstone, which is sup
posed to bring good luck. These are
pretty, set in filagree silver around a
good-sized oval stone.
The marking of an engagement ring
varies with the sentiment of the lover
Usually it is nothing more than the I
Initials of the man and girl connected I
by the word "to" and followed by tlu
date.
If a man is engaged to a girl who \f
critical he should offer several engage
ment rings from which to choose
TJowever much this girl may be ii
love, she finds it hard to endure £
ring she dislikes.
ATTRACTIVE WAIST.
Diamond Stars Hit Often. Yet Continue
to Hug Plate—Unable to Move
Out of Danger.
Why Is it that some people are so
constituted that when standing on a
high building or at any upper story
window it is with only the greatest re-
straint that they keep themselves from
Jumping? Why this desire to fling one-
self to certain destruction? There are
other similar elements in other make-
ups that are no less certain to bring
dire results.
One of these comes in baseball, and
no fewer than three of the real stars
of the two major leagues are victims
of a strange force that may ulti-
mately lead them out of baseball
forever.
Ordinarily when a batsman grabs up
a bat and steps to the plate ho Is
cautious about getting hit by one
of the shoots that are served up to
him. One that looks too close for com-
fort causes him to fall back, and in
hundreds of players this tendency, this
involuntary movement due to the in-
nate desire for self-preservation, leads
the batter to shyjoot. However, the
three players referred to are not of
this kind.
Frank Chance, the leader of the Chi-
cago Nationals, is one of the ball play-
ers who when poised at the plate look-
ing over the slants of tho opposing
pitcher, cannot get out of the way
when they see a pitched ball coming
at them. Some unknown force holds
him motionless. He is aware of the
fact that the sphere is traveling
toward him, and he realizes his danger,
but try as lie will he Is held motion-
less. On several occasions Chance
has been cracked on the head, and with
bad results.
Jake Stahl, tho Boston American
first sacker, who retired this season,
had a stripe of the same whatever-it-is
in his system. He was always glued
to the spot when the ball started for
him. lie, too, felt chained to tho ex-
act position in which lie stood, and
several times he suffered in conse-
quence of this strange mesmerizing in-
j fluence power the approaching ball had
' over him.
I Syd Smith, the catcher acquired
from Atlanta by the Cleveland Ameri-
cans is the third of these players.

BARNSTORMING TRIPS BARRED
Connie Mack Is Pleased at New Rule-
Incidentally He States His Team
Will Lead Again.
Connie Mack is of the opinion that i
,.o new regulation prohibiting barn j
jtorming tours by the world's chain- j
pious Is a good thing. At the same
time he declares that the Athletics
had his full consent to go to Cuba last
fall, and he is only sorry that Collins |
and' linker did not go along so as to ;
make a stronger combination, one that !
perhaps the Cubans wouldn't have
: beaten so decisively.
"But the work of a baseball team
on such a trip should not be taken
I too seriously," Mack adds very prop ■
I erlv. "The players consider them j
selves on a picnic, following a season I
j t]iat has been anything but that sort
j „( nn affair, and it does not take many j
t days for them to fall off. They do not
| care to take chances, quite naturally.
and In consequence lose form."
| Connie concluded by saying: "There ;
' will be no barnstorming for my team
| next fall; tho rules won't permit it,'
I in which remark he serves notice on
j fifteen other major league managers
! that the Athletics aro to bo on the
top of the pile at the end of the 1911
world's championship battles.
