Truth vs.. Truth

In one of the small towns in the
State of Maine lived a man named
Ghump. who was a great preacher
on Truth" and endeaYored TO bring
mp bis family with the same regard
for it as he himself possessed. He
was just recovering from a severe
illness, which had threatened TO put
40 end to shis career, and for the
last week had been able TO sit in his
chair, when his son was obliged TO
go to the village, it being the first
time for number of weeks. On his
return the father called him into the
room, and inquired:
"Well, Bill, who'd you see down
to The village?''
"Oh, I saw Jack Austin, Ju'e
Whipple, Jim Mahan, and pretty
much all the villagers"
"Well. did any of them ask after
me p
eyes"
"WelI. what did you tell emp"
81 told them you we're better"
The old man sat silently regard.
ing his hopeful, and finally said:
"Well, William, if the Lord spares
my life to get well, I'll lick you fer
telling that lie, for | amt one bit
better than l was three weeks ago.

A Rerolution in Hair.Dressing.

A noted revolution has just. been
accomplished-but be not alarmed,
good readers I am not about to dis
cuss French politics or the aspects
of the situation. The revolution
whereof speak, is wholly a pacific
one, yet it will be marked in its ef-
feets, inasmueh as its tendency is to
make our pretty American girls look
all the prettier. / allude to The sud
den and marked change that has
passed over the heads of the female
society leaders of Paris in the mat
ter of arranging their hair. The old
Puritan preacher who took for bis
text, "Topknot, come down" (''Let
him that Is upon the housetop not
come down") would surely have felt
satisfied with this new fashion. All
puffs and bows aud braids and fussi-
fications on the top OF the female
head have vanished into thin air.
The Partisan bellies now wear their
hair simply parted in front and
either waved or crimped, as best
suits the style Of the face, and coil
ed at the back in a braided knot
placed rather low. A single large
flower placed at one side Of this knot
and dropping on the neck is the only
ornament that fashion now sane
tions. This new couture is not only
simple and natural, but wonderfully
becoming. the beautiful shape-lines
Of the feminine head coming fully
into view for the first time in many
years. The audiences as we'll as
the universal way in which this new
style has been adopted Is very re.
markable,-Paris Cor. Troy Times. !

looking, had pleasant manners, and rep
resented that he was prosperous New
