The BEARDED LADY.-The Alta
gives the following history of the bear
ded lady on exhibition in San Fran
cisco:
We have amongst US now an Ameri-
can lady, scarcely thirty years old,
who was astounded about four years
ago, with handsome set of whiskers
and delicate moustaches, which sprang
from her face, as it were, like Jonah
gourd in a single night. Her history,
in brief, is this: Born i'll Kentucky,
she .emigrated te Iowa; crossed the
plains as early as 1915, and settled in
Oregon, where in due time married,
and became the mother of three chill
dren, all of whom are now living in
that State. At the age Of twenty SIX
she gave birth to the last. Up to this
time her face had been as smooth as an
infants. But Immediately after the
youngest child'was born, hair cemmen-
ced sprouting. She cut it of, plucked
it out by the roots, but all to no pur-
pose. 1t would and did grow, until a
luxuriant hirsute suit covered her
cheeks and upper lip. The family be-
ing poor, 1t was suggested to her thai
she might, by exhibiting herself in
public, be enabled to materially aid
them and herself.
