q Great scheme For Doing Away with
Iron In the System.
The city editor was almost weeping
for a sensation when the weird looking
man came in.
1--WE got a great scheme" he said
mysteriously by way of salutation.
"What is itY'' asked the G. L.
scheme for changing the color of red
hair"
Suppose persons having it don't want
IL changedg Rel is glorious color"
''They don't have TO unless they want
10. Nothing compulsory about IT,"
"What is il? Gro on and explain"
The visitor pulled up chair.
"You know" he said, that red hair Is
the result of surplus of iron in the sys-
tenn. This is what imparts the vigor.
the great vitality, the overfowing and
thoroughly healthy animal life that runs
riot through the veins of the rudy
haired. And this strong, sentient AMI
NAL life is what renders them more in
tense in all their emotions than their
more lanquid fellow creatures. The ex-
cess Of iron is also the cause of freckles
on the peculiarly clear, white skin which
always accompanies red hair. The skin
Is abnormally sensitive TO the action Of
the suns rays. which not only bring out
the little brown spots in abundance. but
also burn like mustard plaster. pro-
ducing q queer. creepy sensation, as IL
the skin was wrinklihy up. Seer

was A DIZZY FAKE,
The Parkersbnrg Liars story About a
Flood at'salem, Semitic Outside Papers,
ContnIned no Truth

Tho Parkersburg Liars Story About a
Flood at Salem, ssnt.tO Outside Papers,
Contained NO Truth.
10 he Editor Of The hlteiligeeer
SIR;-We see in different newspapers
from over the'cOuntFy, yesterday and
to-day, that our town was almost COM
pletely inundated by water on last Sun
day, and that the citizens had to fee to
the hills for their lives; that the water
was in most Of the business houses,
etc, etc.
On account OF these reports the peo-
pie OF the town IRE very much annoyed,
as they are receiving kilograms from
absent friends, wanting 10 know the
truth OF tho reports. We did have q
heavy rain which raised the water con-
siderably, more than Tor some years,
but it was not US high by eighteen or
twenty inches as in 1888, and no one
was much damaged at that time.
Now, the water was not IN business
house in the town, and wGs only in
three dwelling houses on Water street,
and in these only five or ak inches.
No people left their homes, running
from the water, and we can hear Of no
damage being done TO anyone. John
Warmers old rooster was the only
thing drowned. We are located almost
on the divide between the waters Of the
West Fork and Middle Island rivers,
and II those two streams should turn
and come back up the hills we would
be in danger, but We will not DO uneasy
until this occurs. We are in more dan
ger OF being flooded with oil than water
at this day, as the oil boom is now rag
ing in this region. ONE WHO KNOWS.
