A Boo Hoo From a Tow Head.

Last week a distinguished body
Of women met at Washington,
and discussed matters pertinent

women always do, except al rag

speaking of the meeting says:
"Among all the distinguished
women who met at Washington
last week, not one of Them had
red hair. Still there Is no reason
10 conclude that women with
red hair are not inclined 10 excel

Irrelevant coincidence.
This is all an implied admission,
a langh in the sleeve, but not a
heroic declaration. We stand by
the Red Heads, men or women,
in war or convention. In every

wrought to a finish, the warm

in the front.
1t is told us that Boadicia when
leading her hosts of Britons in

golden tresses. the broken har-

read that Cleopatra, the symbo

well as Aspasla, the womanly
ruler of Greek civilization, had
hair as ''ruddy as the rising sun"

1t is told of Rudolf of uaps-
bur-h, the founder ofthe Austrian
Empire, asd whose blood has
ruled Germany for nearly thon
sand years, once when he came
home victorious from his wars
with the Hungarians, attempted
to ride his war horse into his
castle. At the door he was met
by a little woman who ordered
him "hait p II see," said Ru-

war, but a gleam or beauty from
heaven. My red-headed wife is
at the door," Then the troopers
pickeied their horses in the
grounds, and Rudolf issued a de-
cree that henceforth IN war or
on adventures, the man should
lead and rl1e his horse, but in
the castle the woman was the
ruler. ami the man should take
place in the corner. The decree
OF The great Rudolf is in force to-

or adventure, the woman ruler in
her house.

but brief may be made. They
