The Way He Liked His Hair Cut.

The Way He Liked His Hair Cut.
How will you want your hair cut,
SLY" said the talkative hairdresser to the
man in the chair.
Minus conversational prolixity,' re-
piled the patient.
How's that, sir?''
with abbreviated or totally eliminated
variations"
'I-er-don't quite catch your mean
ing, sir"
With quiescent mandibulars.
"Which?"
without effervescent verbosity"
"Sir?"
LET diminutive colloquy be conspicu-
GUS by its absence
The hairdresser scratched his head
thoughtfully for a second and then went
over to the proprietor of the shop with the
whispered remark:
II don't know whether that gentleman
In my chair is mad or a foreigner, but l
can't find out what he wants.
The proprietor went to the waiting Gus
toner and said politely:
My man doesn't seem to understand
you. How would you like your hair cuta'
I'm silence %
The proprietor gave a whitening look at
his journeyman, while the latter began
work and felt so utterly crushed that he
never even asked his patient If he'd buy a
bottle of hair restorer.-London Tit Bits

HOW TO MAKE A WOMAN r4Appy.

Hyou'd make woman happy,
Fill her heart with sunlight rays.
Make her life a joyand pleasure
And pr0long her earthly days.
Do not think in grand endeavor
You'd arrive at What you aim.
Do not think in riches lavish
Nor the bauble, social fame.
Is the royal road to heaven
Composed by a woman's. heart,
For the riches, fame and splendor
In her life is but part.
What will thrill her heart to trembling
And allay internal strife
Is the little kind attentions,
The amenities of life.

Theaction of the South Carolina militia
in refusing to obey the orders of Gov.
Tillman casts odium upon the militia of
the nation as whole, and the question
may be pertinently asked: Is the
militia to be relied upon in cases of
emergency, or will they weigh in their
own minds the merits of every insurrec-
tion against the state and regulate their
actions by their conclusions? During
the late war and during any war it was
the duty of a soldier to obey-it per-
mitted of no argument or questioning.
The soldier or soldiers who did not obey
were shot and at once. The destiny of
an engagement was too doubtful to per-
init of any quibbling at the critical
the merits of the case or what anyone
might think. 1t is sufficient that the
government reposes confidence and trust
in the leaders, and they have no time
nor is it expedient to discuss with their
army their plans and reasons. The
South Carolina militia have disgraced
the state and the nation by unsoldierly
conduct in refusing to uphold the laws,
whatever may have been the preponder-
ance of public sentiment on the question.
1t constitutes dangerous precedent and
the question naturally arises: Are
bodies of militia to be depended upon in
cases of emergency? At any rate the
populists of Oregon have now reason
other than economy for tie, discontinu.
ance of the militia. The United States
deserves an expression of opinion of the
South Carolina militia by the militia O.
all other states.
