suffer her second naval horror this
year The loss of the Italian torpedo
boat which left Naples for Spezzla
some time ago is confirmed by Mon
day mornings dispatches Three

Zone mans money is as good as
another's." That is the title of
bill introduced into the Vermont leg
islature the other day to correct GER
tain alleged inequalities in the rates
of railroad fares up in that state.
That is more appropriate than some
titles we have heard of A bill was
once introduced and passed in the

named because the railroad at that
time touched neither Boston, Barre
nor Gardner Boston Herald.

other day moved the tonsorial artist
to say: Il have shingled the head of
many a great man. But, do you
know, the biggest men of thecountry
are losing their hair, and | believe
the day will come when all brainy
men will be bald. Speaker Reed
hasn't even fuzz on the top of his
head. The skin is as bald as a baby's
cheek, and it shines as though 1T was
creased. | once cut the twenty odd
| locks which run around Edmunds'
bare drum-head. You have never seen
anything so pretty as his skin. 1t is
as tender and as clear as that of the
finest fair-complexioned girl you have
ever seen, and it looks as though the
blood would squirt through it if you
touched it with pin. He never let's
any oil be put upon his hair, but he
likes to have his scalp polished with
cologne. Breckinridge of Kentucky
has one of the finest heads of hair |
have ever seen, and he is mighty
nice man, too. He gives me a quarter
every time barber him, and hetalks
all the time he is being trimmed"
