Captain Bates, the efficient and

when putting new copyicts through

comes across queer customers, as the
following incident shows: Il is Gus
tomary to intorrQgate each prisoner
as to his otfeuse, term Of sentence,
etc, to see If he Is acquainted with
the nature of hls commitment, and in
form him il he is not. The other
day darkey was brought in for horse
stealing, aud Captain Bates put the
usual inquiry: "Well, sir. what

OUT or THE SALOON.

Out Of the saloon I've just stepped, tonight;
Street, You are caught tn very bad plight.
Right hand aud left hand are both out Of
place;
Street, you are drunk, IT'S very clear case.
Moon, tits very queer figure YOU cut,
One eye is staring while Toth6r is shut,
Tlpsy, see; and you are greatly to blamei
Old as you are, IFS terrible shame.
Then the street lamps, what scandalous
sight; .rs
None Of them sobeTly standing upright;
Rocking and staggering why, on my word,
Each Of the lamps Is drunk as q lord.
All Is confusion; now isn't It odd,
am the only thing sober abroad:
Sure It were rash with this crew to remain,
I'd better go into the saloon again,

Auburn Haired Girls.

All young women possessed OF
red hair can remember that IN
the days Of their childhood their
hirsute adornment was q source OF
moeking merrlment to their
friends, and the term "sorrel top
or "strawborry blonde" was one
of contempt. They wondered,
perhaps, why it was that they al
ways called "red headed when
their playmates we're described as
being black, brown or golden hair
ed. But the "red headed girls
don't mind now that it Is every
young woman's ambition to be
auburn haired, and she hopes by
the use Of hair dyes to attain the
shade which belonged to the wick
cd Lucretla, If she gets exactly
the right shade she does not see
why a single thread Of her hair
might not be preserved by the
United States government and
exhibited as is the one Sc proudey
shown in Florence as having be
longed to the wicked Lucretla. 1t
is odd how many famous women
have had this Titan red hair.
Catherine Of Russia glorled in it,
and Apae of Austria had brown
hair just on the verge OF being
red. Nlnon de L'Enclos was
equally proud of her warm colored
treSses, and Mary Stuart seemed
q daughter Of the sun. Jane
Hading and Mrs. Potter both
have warm auburn hair, but it
does not reach the real tinge,
which is that which crowned, in
all her glory, the head Of the
Empress Eugene, she who has
known the extreme Of happiness
and of sadness.-Atlanta COnstitu-

weather prophet is developing itself in
very curious phases in parts of Hi

Tuesday says: "Dandelions in full
bloom were picked here yesterday, and
lawns and pastures are as green as
they were in midsummer. A second
crop of good apples has just been
picked at Mount Pulaski and Lincoln
in Logan county. Some of the harder
varieties of street and door-yard weeds
are as green and vigorous as they were
two months ago. The unreasonable
weather is having depressing effect
upon holiday trade, and there is much
sore throat and malarial trouble"
