have red hair are generally at a great
disadvantage, because their hair takes
SO much nourishment to keep it going
that it robs them of all their strength,
and consequently they are always very
thin. We never knew this to fail.
Another queer thing about these peo-
pie is that they always have red lips,
poor things, as if they didn't have
enough red ON their head. But yet they
seem to be gifted with a very bad taste,
and are invariably wearing red sashes,
red roses, green ribbons, etc.
You never see well educated per-
cons head adorned with this sort of a
headdress. We think it is because it
takes all of the strength from the brain.
Thus you see such great men as
Dickens, Longfellow, Caesar, NAPOLEON,
Bonaparte, Washington and last but not
least, Harrison, could not have or have
had red hair.
Neither could Annie Rooney, for if
she had would all the newsboys, boot
blacks, police officers, citizens, city
officials, etc., whistle and sing her
praise?
AS to the white horses we find that
there is one consolation, because it
seems the white horses like the re d.
headed rocks as well as the girls.
A lecturer in describing his trip across
the continent not long age, said "When
we were in the Garden of the Gods,
on every side could be seen the mon
strous red-headed rocks, then looking
down over the precipice could be seen
lazilv eating the green grass, white
horse. So we came to the conclusion
that not only red-headed girls but also
red-headed rocks were followed by
white horses"
Annie Hare, a girl with coal black
hair and an emphatic voice, defended
red hair in composition headed
WHY ABUSE RED HAIR?
1t is the general opinion that red hair
is an Objectionable thing. 1t is mostly
considered SO by those who do not pos
sess it. They call it red, but there is no
such thing as really red hair. 1t may
be the paly amber or FURNISHED gold,
but it is not red.
/ have come to the conclusion that it
is all jealousy on the part of those who
make fun of it.
Who can find real beauty in the
brunette with her black hair, or the
blonde with her fiaxen head?
The brunette may think she is to be
admired, and stand before the glass for
an hour, but who can admire a crow?
In most of Sir Walter Scott's works
he has for the heroine, golden-haired
damsel, and, moreover, he has them
comfortably married, while their dark
haired companions are frequently much
less satisfactorily disposed Of. His rea-
son for this seems to be an idea that
they are more gentle, less ambitious
and less apt to get into mischief.
The so-called red-haired woman has
been the target for all the meanness of
others, and who can defend the divine,
who stood in the pulpit and said, eff that
red-headed, freckled-faced, cross eyed
girl don't stop her giggling, will call
her name out"
1t can be nothing but the smallest
piece of meanness and envy on the part
of those people who give to the golden
haired girl such names as carrots"
headlight to locomotive, ""red-head-
ed match, strawberry blonde" etc.
Nearly all the authors have for their
heroines golden-haired girls, and what
are they but so-called red-heads?
