FOOT BALL HAIR
On a Portland Boy Seven Inches Long
Other Facts About 1t.

One of the Portland High School Foot
ball team had his hair cut the other day,
since the season Is over with and the cold
weather is coming on. His hair had
been growing since last June. The barber
who took the contract, measured the hair
and found it just seven inches long. He
"was knee-deep in hair" when he got
through. There is no use for this kin d
of hair for upholstering purposes, but
that doesn't matter. There is a much bet
ter market for it at retail, in small bun
ches, tied up with ribbon at 25 cents
each.
Who are the purchasers? Well they are
not all of the gentle, hero-loving sex.
There are not a few of the sterner sort
who gladly exchange quarter for one
of these souvenirs, of the glory and
science and the honor and the heroism
and the dust and the mud and the sprains
and the bruises and the kicks and the
blows of the gridiron.

DR.. Parkhurst and the W. c. T. U.

Apropos of the lecture by DR.. Park
hurst in the City hall last evening the
following clipping from a Kentucky
paper will be read with special interest: ]:
''Miss Willard, President of the Nation
al W. c. T. u, has begun a six months
tour of the South. The people of the
United States have no idea of the tre-
mendous influence that the reform move
ment in New York city is exerting on
the people Of England. She says today !:
The London Press prints column after
column of matter regarding the work in
New York. The provision in the new
constitution which provides for civil
service commission to be composed of
men who are not engaged in the liquor
business I think is one of the greatest
victories of the temperance cause that
has been achieved in recent years.

By his shrewdness, his honesty and his
enterprise he has brought the New Eng

cure. The effects of such disorders are not
limited to mere local discomforts but ex-
tend over the whole body Perhaps the
nerves are most affected, and this in turn
disturbs the digestion. After that there is
no telling what form the trouble may take.
With irritable nerves and poor digestion,
woman is on the straight road to the grave.
Women are notoriously negligent in mat
tiers pertaining to their health. Too many
OF them understand too little about their
own physical makeup. They do not un-
derstand their possibilities or their limita-
tions, and they do not know enough about
themselves to know when a symptom is
really serious and when it is not This nat
urally makes them overlook the plainest
OF danger signals. The start of everything
is simple. The start of so-called female
complaints may be very slight thing in
deed. 1t may be that in the beginning
some small hygienic measures would stop
the trouble. Certainly at this time, a little
bit of the right medicine would stop it.
When the trouble becomes worse, it is
harder to cure, but still it can be cured.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will posi-
lively cure any trouble of this character.
It may be absolutely relied upon. 1t affords
immediate and lasting relief to a woman
whose natural modesty has kept her from
consulting physicians
The whole story of the "Favorite Pre-
scription," and what it has done for thou
sands of women is told in Dr. Pierce's
Common Sense Medical Adviser. This

Some Hints Which Housewives Would Do
Well to Remember.

Some Hints Which Housewives Would Do
Well to Remember.
There are many people who think
they have fulfilled their duty as cake
bakers if they present light cake.
Yet light cake may be as complete a
failure as heavy one. 1t may be per-
fectly risen, yet hard or dry and
feathery, like SO many bakers cakes,
suggesting nothing but sawdust. A
perfect cake is delicate and moist in
texture, and of such constituency as to
fulfill the old housewives phrase and
''melt in the mouth" No cakes made
by baking powder are quite as tender
and moist as those risen with cream
tartar and soda or with eggs alone. 1t
is easy enough to make cake tough
by overbeating at one stage or under
beating at another. Where butter and
sugar are used, they must be thorough
ly creamed together, and the we'll
beaten yollSs Of the eggs added. The
milk must now be put in by degrees. II
1t is poured in too rapidly the cake will
surely curdle, and it is impossible to
make a cake of fine grain from q
curdled mixture. When the cake has
reached this stage the whites of the
eggs must be beaten to a stiff froth,
but not to too tough q froth or the cake
will have leathery constituency.
A large majority of cakes are
spoiled at this stage by toughening the
white. 1t is unsafe to use any of the
patented beaters, because with such q
beater it is an easy matter to beat tho
egg too much. The old-fashioned
whisk, or spoon, of fine wire, which
costs about five or six cents, is the
safest and best egg-beater. Patented
beaters are invaluable for beating salad
dressing and for many other purposes.
Beat the whites merely long enough
for them to cling to the inverted whisk.
Add them to the cake after the flour,
folding them in with slender wooden
spoon, which is used by all the best
cakemalers to stir cake. When the
whites of the eggs have been put in the
oven should be ready. There should
be a strong body of fire, but the heat
should be turned off SO that the oven is
only moderately hot. Put in the cake
carefully, and take care that it raises in
the pan before it begins to brown.
When it is fully risen, increase the
heat. A loaf of ordinary cake of av.
eragc size will bake in forty or fifty
minutes. Loaf cake will take an hour
or an hour and quarter. A pound
cake ought to bake very slowly for two
hours, and fruit cake should be baked
| four hours.-N. Y. Tribune.

THE GREATEST KILLING.
Nine Men shot TO Death In One Night by
Gambler.


In the way OF prompt and deadly
shooting nothing in NIL the red calen-
dar of homicide in the far west beats
the record Of the gambler, Riley, at
Newton, Kas., made one night in 1871.
The Santa Fe railroad had been built
to that point during the year, and a
flourishing town had grown up around
the terminus to which the Texas cattle
drives that had been going to Abilene
were turned One night the Texas
cattle drives were in for shipment, and
the cowboys were celebrating. Some
of the Texans had grudge against
the officers OF the town, and so they
came in prepared for trouble, and they
set about making il straightway. They
killed the city marshal, the deputy
marshal and another man early in the
evening. Later they poured into Pink
hams dance hall to the number of
twenty-five or thirty.
Their first break was to assassinate
harmless citizen. Riley was in the
dance hall and the man just killed was
a particular friend of his. Without
word Riley stepped back to the big
double doors in the front of the saloon
and closed them. Placing his back
against the doors, he drew pair OF
| revolvers and fell to shooting, one man
against the crowd. Men tumbled left
and right, and shots rang out all over
the room in response to the cracking
Of Riley's pittoln. Shots perforated
and splintered the door all about him,
but he stood there firing until his
pistols were cmptied. Then leaping
over the counter he caught up re-
volver that lay on shelf beneath and
kept on with his firing Before he
had emptied the pistol that he found
behind the bar the men inside had
forced the front doors open. Those
that could rushed out and Riley shot
his last man in the middle of the
street.
When it came to counting up losses
1t was discovered there were thirteen
dead men in the town, due to that
nights shooting, of whom nine cow
boys had fallen by Riley's hand. A
doctor, hastily summoned to the scene
came to the side of a cowboy who was
dying. "Iow is it, Doc?' asked the
wounded man. "Am / going to pull
through?" The doctor shook his head
and said: "rm sorry, my poor fellow.
but l can not give you any hope. +"
How about the man who shot me,
said the cowboy, sis he dead?" mo"
answered the doctor, ''he was not
even wounded" 81 know better than
that" said the cowboy. 81 know he
was hit. was right by the side of
him when he shot me, and before fell
I fired and hit him under the arm. You
examine him and you'll find that he's
wounded there" When the doctor got
round to Riley he examined him and
found that he had received a flesh
wound under his arm, which in the ex-
citement of fighting he had not no
ticed. Riley left the town after the in
quest and didn't appear there again. -
