BALD-HEAD FURNISHING,
25 CENTS EXTRA.


Presently the door opened and the at
tendant entered followed by a sporty
looking old fellow, whom the watcher
recognized as a cigar-dealer of North
Ninth street, popularity known as Doc.
The hidden man watched the operation
of shaving, and then came the exhibit
ton for which he had waited patiently
"Will you have your head polished,
sir?" "Of course" was the reply.
Taking a contrivance of peculiar con-
struction, very much resembling an
upturned shallow bucket minus the
bottom, the operator places it over the
old mans head, and by means of a
screw regulated it so as to At tightly,
completely covering the thin fringe of
hair encircling the bald spot Of very
generous proportions Then with a
a pair of diminutive tweezers the skill
full attendant yanled out by the roots
the few superfuous hairs that stood up
at intervals like solitary trees on a
desert.
The scalp, grown rough from copious
perspiration and dandruff, was then
gently sponged with alcohol. This
was followed by an application of
glycerine, and over that a composition
resem bling varnish was spread with a
small soft brush.
The operator then sat down for a
few minutes, presumably to give his
work a chance to cool Resuming the
operation, he rubbed the bald pate
brislxly with chamois and several soft
brushes of various sizes until the scalp
was radiant, and so slippery that
should a venturesome fly have at
tempted to gambol thereon he would
surely have broken his neck.
The contrivance before mentioned
was taken off the customers head and
the finishing touches made on the bald
corners that had been covered up, and
the scanty rim of hair and the flowing
eeolian side-whiskers were dyed a
brilliant black and the operation was
completed. The customer and attend
ant left the room and the watcher, who
was almost convulsed with laughter,
followed unseen Shortly after he en-
gagged Louie in a conversation, and the
latter said: well, yes, admit 1 make
a few pennies out of that little annex
of mine. You see in the summer time,
bald heads, becoming rough and dirty,
afford we'll patronized camping ground
for flies. To avoid these discomforts
the victim avails himself of any method
offering relief. That's natural, isn't it?
Well, my invention answers the pur-
pose exactly. The polish lasts for sew
eral days, keeps the head cool, affords
no foothold for flies, and is not injuri-
Gus, as many so-called hair-restorers
are. One of my customers told me
that before trying my plan he had used
many recipes for restoring his hair.
On one occasion he said, after using a
restorer, he put bright new silver
dollar in his pants pocket, and, taking
the coin out several days later, found
it as black as ink. The nitrate of silver
had so permeated his system that it
even discolored the coin in his pocket"

HE LOVED HIS PRISON.

A Robin on Being Offered His Liberty De-
Hberately Refuses to Accept.
Not wishing to keep my young 70 bin
through the winter, l attempted to in
troduce him to liberty and his feathered
kith and kin. This was easier to say
than to do. AS with kindly treated
slaves in the old days, liberty was what
he dreaded. He had never been out
side his prison bars, yet 1 had fancied
when the door of his cage was opened
he would fly away at once. Instead,
he gave one little chirp of dismay and
reiterated to the farthest corner look
ing imploringly at me, as much as to
say: "Im little fellow. Don't make
me go out into that big world. Pm
afraid"
closed the door of his cage, and a
more delighted bird was never seen.
This experiment was repeated for sew
eral successive days, but nothing could
induce him to venture out Finally
put my hand in his cage and brought
him forth. This attempt was followed
by series of small but piercing bird
shrieks, uttered in heartre nding way
by Robin, who stood just outside the
closed door. Next he pecked at the
wires of his cage, flew excitedly about
and inspected his house from every
point of view even from the roof Then
he huddled down close by the door in
such fluffy, forlorn way that opened
it, and with hop, skip and jump, and
a shrill note of delight, he bounced in.

We're not waiting for the bats and
moles but for men and women who
have eyes and use them, who have
brains and reason! There's new world
for them-suffering and sickly as they
area new world created from the
brain of a skillful physician-a dis
covery--the Golden Medical Dis
covery."
Years ago DIR Pierce found out that
the secret of all scrofula, bronchial,
throat and lung trouble lay-in the be-
ginning at least-in impure blood and
the weak tone of the system; that the
way to cure these effects was to remove
the cause, that human nature being the
same, the same results might be looked
for in nearly all cases. So confident
was he that the exceptions were uncom-
mon that he took the risk of giving the
medicine to those it didn't benefit for
nothing, and the results nave proved
tnat he was right.
And Golden Medical Discovery" is
the remedy for the million The only
guaranteed Liver, Blood and Lung
remedy. Your money back if it doesn't
help you.

Kelly's Thanksgiving Message.

KeIly's THANKSGIVING Message.
The year Just about to close has been
one of almost unsurpassed bounty to the
products of the soil. No such reports
of the enormous yields of the earth, in
this land of ours, have ever before been
brought to our notice. We have enough
and to spare, and today, for reasonable
consideration, if the gamblers in the
necessities of life do not prevent, we shall
be able to fill the lap of the impoverished
and ne-stricken millions of Europe,
whose cry for bread now sends thrill
of pain through the civilized world.
Shall they who to-day are striving to keep
body and soul together by feeding upon
grass and herbs be denied the commonest
necessities of life when we have so much
to spared And shall the great national
heart of charity and pity be hindered
from sendin relief to the famished ones
of Europe who are dying like sheep for
want of sustenance? If permitted to do
work like this, the thanksgiving so pc
culiar to our land will reach further But
while we are thinking of the needs abroad,
so strong and eloquent in their pathetic
appeal, let us not forget, amid the rejoic-
ings of the present, amid the many
blessings we receive, and often beyond
our merit, let us not forget the "poor we
have always with u.s." and that "when we

thy neighbor as thy-elf, "in the things per-
tanning to this life, can have no more per-
feet illustration than in the bestowal of
the benefactions SO many stand in
want of, and which we can so
easily confer 1t requires no SER
monizing to prove that sit is
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive." The speechless tongue and
the eyes filled with tears of gratitude for
your kindness, dear reader, will express
more to you than the most copious vocab-
ulary. A table we'll filed once in year,
it may be, by your thoughtfulness and
care; a warm garment to shield the weak
or the sick; a bin of Goals, whose bright
ness tells them the story of the love of a
fellow being,-these are the things that
wiring out blessings upon your head and
brighten your path upon the earth. You
may not know all the joy you are per-
mitted to be the author of in such things,
but being thankful yourself, you show it
most beautifully and practically when it is
made to alleviate the distress of another.
What with bright skies and happy
homes, fond recollections and joyous re-
unions; hearts filed with the love that
seeks others good as we'll as our own, we
have reason, indeed, for the thanksgiving
all are called upon to express to "the
Giver of every good and every perfect
gift" And wheresoever Kelly may go,
may he find no earth-born cloud shutting
out the brightness which it is fondly
hoped all may partake of in the passing
season, as it kindles anew IN the heart the
remembrance of blessings given and bless
ings received.

Kelly has done his part on flour. Men Of
wealth come next.

As to Senator Isrfce,s Seat.

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 80. 1t is learn ed

THERE may be good reasons why the
self proclaimed anarchists in Chicago
are permitted to do about as they choose
so long as they do not assault the police,
but they should not be regarded as in
any sense amusing. They are fanatics
in the worst meaning of that multi
meaning word, for they have no phase
in their creed which instructs them to
create, but only to destroy. The Ameri-
can is long suffering and careless about
his personal rights. But there is an ele-
ment in his composition which compels
his high regard for property and the
safety of social and financial institu-
tions. 1t is not pleasing for any man or
any collection of men to have an I'M
washed enemy continually wagging his
fist beneath their noses. What this
usually leads to is the battering of the
weaker. The anarchist occupies the
latter modest position in our social or-
ganization just at present, and both in
Chicago and elsewhere there seems to
be admirable probabilities of a few
SCRAPS" occurring in which he will be
bruised.

THE first applicant for a loan under
the farmers alliance sub-treasury
scheme made his appearance at the
treasury department this week. He
was from Hartford county. Maryland,
and was not very positive what he
wanted, further than that he wanted as
much money as the $1S cash, which he
said he had, would pay the interest on,
and he told the clerk in the fourth audi
tors office, to whom the application
was made, that his farm would be secu-
rity for the principal of the loan. He
was very much disappointed when told
that Uncle Sam was at present himself
borrower instead of lender

AS novel accessory to the Prince of
Wales fiftieth birthday it is given out
that he has been publicly prayed for by
his loyal clergy at least $4,000, 900
times. 1t is remarkable that so many
petitions should have secured so few re-
suits. The quality of the supplications
has probably had closer relation to their
barrenness than their quantity.
