A story of Dan voorhees,.

Dan voorhees, tells good story of him
self. He appeared once upona time in a
law suit out at Terre Haute in which one
of the chief witnesses on the other side
was the mother of Senator Booth, of Cali
fOrnia. In his free and easy way the tall
sycamore asked questions that the witness
resented, so it seemed, for though inquiry
after inquiry was propomded not the
slightest sign of attention came from the
witness box. Mr.. Voorhees, became i'm
patient and his questions grew little
snappy. Not bit more effect was pro-
duced. Finally, in dire evaporation, he
demanded in his own all-sweepng ora
torical way whether or not he was going to
be answered at all. Then. with a smile
barely tinging her protest. the lady turned
to the lawyer of her friends. Dick Thomp-
son, and asked. with a seeming innocence
that ruined all that cOurt-rooms sense of
solemnity: Mr.. Thompson. must really
say anything to a man that looks like that?'
She pointed to Voorhees, and fairly shud-
dered. Mr.. Thompson, in his suave way.
advised her to be brave and answer the
questions of his Wabash friend. Then.
I'll do twith my eyes shut, !" she said: and
she did. Mr.. Voorhees, is very proud of
this story. True goodness. he insists. does
not always have beauty as its index.

Oscar Wilde wig is the name of another
new style. 1t has five large curls hanging
down to the shoulders. Wavy bangs are
attached to the wig, which is only parted on
one side. This wig is largely worn in the
East
''One would suppose considerable false
hair will be worn now," remarked the re-
porter.
1T will indeed" said the lady in charge
OF the hair paTlors. There is always more
or less worn, but with the present style it is
absolutely necessary, just as much so as it
was to have the hair cut when that style
was the rage. Now the bangs are not only
heavy, but the wigs are heavy, and of
course the switches will have to be heavy
% correspond
with so much hair is it not difficult to
keep the false material in proper poSition?"
Not at all. With the help of net and
Judicious insertion of hair pins the hair
can be easily kept in its place.
What is the range of prices on these
articles"
Well, wigs range from SIS to $50 each;
bangs from 80 cents to SIS, and switches
from 81 10 SIS. The most expensive color
Is drab and following this comes white"

was not a chestnut the remark of
a st. Paul tobacco dealer, that he could
size up man more by the way he handled
his quid than by his talk.
''YOu see." said he. when man has
learned to chew he will chew naturally. and
will handle his tobacco before he gets it

But how do men vary in handling their
quid after it is in their mouths?"
In the first place there are many differ
ent styles and few know how to chew ar
tistically. Tobacco chewing is an art.
Some men are born to chew, Others acquire
the habit and some have it thrust upon them.
Some chew because they like the taste of it.
some for the exquisite pleasure of squirting
the juice, some because it is the style and
a large majority because they have a cray
