CHAMP CL/iRK ENTERS
SOME BEARDED MARVELS
Washington, Oct. 30.?1 Congressman
Champ Olark, of Missouri, has
the following communication in this
morning's Post:
4'To the Editor of The Post:
'Mil your issue of Sunday, October
20, you have a picture of Mr. S. G.
Brinkley, of llagnolia City, N. C.,
whose heard reaches lo I he- floor
when lie stairds erect. The article
reads:
" Longest heard in the world."
"I merely desire to state that the
artirle which is quoted from the Now
York World is erroneous and inislcad}
in;;'. As convpai'isl with some of my
^ constituent.-', ti 11man lms merely
/ a goalee. 1 have two valued friends,
'both living in the same township in
jf Pike counu, Mo.,, whose boards put
} 'Mr. Brink ley and the prophet Aaron,
to shame.
1 "Aaron's heard, 'w'liich went down
to the skirls of his garments,' was as
down mi a young lover's chin compared
to the magnificent beard of Mr.
'Valentine Tap ley, of Spenoeittnirg,
Mo., who can measure out eleven feet
and six inches of hirsute "'h.
Judge Kli.iah fJm!'*<.
village of. Curryville, has a beard of
nine and a half feet. These facts and
} figures can he verified. Missouri in
IV 'beards, as in all other good things,
leads the world.
"Champ Clark.''
He Needed Glasses.
'' Gel ting a little near-sighted, a
little near-sighlted; time's telling on
him the way it did 011 poor old Bob
I\itzsiiinimonf?," remarked John A.
Gill, referring facetiously to his
^ friend. Carlton .C. Crane, in the of^
fi<.<?s ?f the Netf York Central in the
Flood building. Had him -down at
f Palo Alto for tihe carnival the ot-her
if day. Moving along'through Mie side^
walk crowds I missed 'him. Turned
back. There he wins standing, trying
to look over the beads of the crowd.
" 'Come on,' 1 said; 'lot's go see
^ the bronco busting.'
" 'Sh!' he warned, '321, 325. 390;
I'm counting 'em; gods, what a proj
cession. 340, 3;>2'
"I looked across the street and
can-rbl a glimpse between l.wo buildK
ings of the sight that interested him.
" 'Pour hundred and eleven,' he
Vi announced, ''and the little devils were
nidi tig around like'wild Indians. Were
. ]? those all professovs' kids?'
" 'Come, come, Carlton,' T said,
* you must wear glasses. That was only
the merry-go-round.' "?San 1' ran|s
cisco Chronicle.
What He Wanted.
The yoisng 'man from the country
took his green necktie and his best
\ girl into a restaurant, and, like som.f
other young men, he was disposed to
r l)e facetious at the waiter's expense.
" Walter," lie said, "I wamt you to
Si brimr me >a broiled elephant.
^ "Yessir.' replied the waiter, perfectly
unmoved.
"And. waiter , bring it <>11 toast."
."Yessir."
Then he stood there like a statue
for a minute.
' Well,' said the young man, "are
| you not g?'!ng to bring it?"
^ ' "Yessir.'
"Why don'it you, then?"
> <'Orders is, sir, that we get. pay in
* advance for elephants, sir. hlepliaut-.
..1 on toast, sir, are live thousand dollars
and ten cents. If you Inke it
./ avi 1 hoiiI loast, sir, it is only live thousand
dollers, sir."
V The waiter did not smile, but t-he
! <r\y\ did, and -tflie young man climbed
i down.

<ji Iceland's census of 1005, recently
^ made public, reveals the amazing fact
V} that Icelanders live to an average age
I'' of 01.ft years. Though increasing atY(\
tent ion to hygiene and the triumph
of medical science over rertain disfj
eases have raised the estimated mean
duration of civilized human life by
A several years, the average for too
\ world at large is as yet utile beyond
\ 35. Only Sweden and Norway, two
*\ countries of Iceland's Scandinavian
I fatherland, can sustain even a very
* ' remote comparison. Tn Sweden man
| lives 50.02 years, and in Norway 40.\)
04. All such figures, of course, are
j| heavily pulled down by the dispro!
portionate mortality of infancy and
? early childhood.
* It appears rather strange at first
1 view that longevity should he great|i
\ upon an island traversed by the
V Arctic circle, yet explanations are not
!/' hard to find. Iceland owing to its in'J
sulnr position, has by 110 means so
V harsh a climate as might he supposl
ed. On ring a large part of the year

simple flife which primarily explains
Iceland's longevity, as also, in a loss
degree. Sweden's and Norway's. The
nervous strain of modern civilization
can be little felt in a land so remote
from the paths of those electric impulses
which stream around the
world. No roaring cities there to
consume'the tide of fri>sh blood without
which they would in time come to 1
nothing, like engines deprived of fuel.
No craze, for wealth 'at any cost in
Iceland; no political, moral or religious
hysteria; no continual craving
<? ,
lor sensations; no frenzied social
climbing. I ho quick-lunch counter ?

pie in a permanent -i?ie of eqnili- ?
brium and comparative repose. But
for U><> ijerveracking volcanic earthouakes
which rock the island at times
its inhabitants might live almost indefinitely,
like those old patriarchs
who lived their still more simple life
on the plains of Palestine,
It can hardly be expected thai Ice- *
| "d's existence will remain cjnito so C
lu. ic much longer in an age when
no corner of the world escapes active
search. Already a cable has been ^
laid from Kurope, and tourists are beginning
to come in large numbers ev- r
ory summer. Perhaps the Icelander
will learn ull ra-modeini ways of
thinking and doing, lie may learn [
to rush, to fret, to worry. His needs
will certainly grow more complex,
and he will to some extent repeat the
history of more advanced nationalities
in his eagernes to satisfy tliem.
Diseases of body and mind will not
only be imported on n much- larger
scale, but will find a more fertile soil
in which to take root. When appendicitis
arrives, as it must after the people
have begun abusing their insides "
with broad made from the fine, white
flour which differs little from laundry
starch, Icelanders may know that
! twentieth country civilization has
taken firm hold. Medical science,
without whose aid life under truly
| modern conditions is impossible?con- r,
j sumption and typhoid fever, uncoiui
prehended and unopposed, could alone
| wipe out whole cities?must be iuvok|
ed to restore as far as it can what will
j have been lost by departure from na|
tural methods of living. In large T
i measure, however, the Icelander will ,
I doubtless avoid the evils of the ago S
j while reaping the benefits. This his *
| geographical situation should enable (
him readily to do. If the Swiss,
though perennially overrun by and
thriving upon the luxurious of all nations,
have largely retained their na- ,
live simplicity of life, much more ^
j can remote Iceland maintain itself ^
; uncorruptod. i
By even slight modernization the (
I Icelander will douhtlcs lose heavilv in I
jliMivlh of days, health and peace of J
j mind. Will he gain enough |<> coin- J
peiisate him? We think so. Whoth|
or or not fifty of Kuropo are better
; ihau live hundred of Palhany, il mav
palely bo said thai they far outweigh'
i t lie (il.S which the average Icelander ?i
actually enjoys at present.

What a Feather Becl Does.
| New York Times.
"Few people, even physicians
themselves, seem to know the prineiI
pal reason why medical science coni
damns t'lie use of feathcrbeds in win- "
tor iius well as in summer," said a
New York physician recently.
"It is because feather bods are '
highly hygroscopic?-a rather formidable
word, but one meaning simply
that feathers readily absorb and condense
moistmre. The body is constantly
throwing off wjaste matter
through the skin and the lungs. The
leathers in the bed will absorb this
waste matter as readily as it will simple
atmospheric, moisture. The feathers
retrain the wasto matter diiriiK;
t.lie dfty when the bed is cold, even
whon it is aired, unless also warmed
by sunshine during tho time it is exposed
to the air.
"At night when the body of the
sleeper warms the bed the feathers '
renew their hybroscopie action and
throw off the waster matter absorbed c
tbe night, before. The susceptible
body ol Die sleeper is soon surrounded
by a dense and highly poisonous t
atmosphere, the accumulative effect *
of which cannot help but be very in- '
jurousi" ^
"They tell me, dear, that, your fa- ^
Cher's money is all tainted."
"Do you hesitate (<r take it,
fleorge ?''
"No, dear. But doesn't it seem ?
under tfie circumstances as if he 6
should try |o make amends for its im
purity by giving us twice as murilr?"
