to Be Active
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Minister An
drade of Venezuela has received no infor-
nation from his government as to the re-
ported landing in Venezuela of revolu-
tionary party headed by General Mona
gas. The minister received a cable on
the 9th inst, saying that peace prevailed
throughout the republic. The landing of
Monagas is said to have occurred on the
10Th. The party is reported to have
hailed from New York, but thus far the
consul general at New York has made no
report of the departure of such an expe-
dition.
General Monages comes of one of the
old families of Venezuela, who were in su-
premacy forty years ago. He is brother
in-law of Senor Boelet-Pereza, predecessor
of Senior Andrade as minister in Washing
ton.
In case the landing of the revolutionary
party is confirmed, no doubt is felt as to
President Crespo's ability TO suppress the
movement. In the uprising few weeks
ago Ia 900 troops were placed under arms
within a few days.

the Express Business.
OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 14.-Agent Hum
stone of the Adams Express company, at
Hastings, was today convicted in the fed
eral court for selling whisky without a
license. Sentence has not yet been pro-
nounced.
This case will cause revolution in the
methods of express companies throughout
the country. The federal law requires all
persons handling spirits to have licenses.
Brewers save annually thousands of dol
lars by consigning goods direct to express
companies to fill orders, who collect and
remit. Under this ruling they will be
forced to take out licenses for all distribut-
ing points, however small, and will not be
permitted to depend on express compa-
nies. The case will be appealed.

Warning 10 Girls.

Scarcely a day passes without its
newspaper story of some young Wo-
man met man so interesting that she
thought she couldn't live without
him, so she married him in haste
and afterward learned that he was
ex-convict or brute, or already had a
wife or two from whom he had
separated without the formality of
q legal divorce. In such cases the
blame is laid upon the man, who
generally deserves more abuse than he
gets. But girls, look at the matter
seriously q few minutes and see If
the trouble might not have been avoid
ed if you had not been in too much
of hurry.
Marriage means partnership for life |;
DEGREES of divorce are merely excep-
tions that prove the rule. Would any
man enter into business partnership
with as little knowledge of the
other party as you seem satisfied with?
Well, no-not unless he were sweet
souled lunatic. Talk Is cheap, girls;
it can be made to order as fast as
the tongue can run especially when
there is a pretty face to inspire it
and two ears willing to receive 1t.
Don't fear that some other girl
will get: the fellow unless you secure
him at once. A fish that any other
can catch isn't worth throwing line
for. Play him to find out whether he
amounts to anything. If be becomes
impatient and dashes away, why,
follow Dogberry-thank God that
you're rid Of q knave.

EyeIagheS.

THERE'S nothing in the world so SER
viceable as pair of effective eyelashes.
They make any kind of an eye pretty.
If one'e orbs are not q pleasing color
all one has to do is to drop The cur
tains, look down, not up: in and not
out; let the eyelashes lie along the
cheek, and if they are the right kind
one looks charming. And the lovely
part of it is for those blessed that they
cannot be counterfeited. They are
never false. If you were not born
with them, signing for them is of no
use. Nor can art supply the deficien-
CIV. She hides her head in shame at
her utter lack of skill, for they must be
indigenous-you can't sew, glue or pin
them on.
Every now and then some one starts
up with an idea about making
short, thin eyelashes grow to be the
desired kind, and every new scheme
has its followers. But it is all hopelessly
futile. A girl who can-of course-she
doesn't-pad to help out her shortcom-
ings in her form she may borrow 9TH
er peoples hair. and she may lay in a
stock of complexion that will last her
year that is, if she should want
to do such things but she can't button
or hook on TINT desirable silky frange
to the eye which would enhance her
charms immeasurably. The latest
theory on this subject launched is that
if the lashes are trimmed every two
weeks for six weeks the result will be a
very thick growth. But it is q deep
laid plot of some fortunate one to
deprive their sisters of the little
they have. One girl tried it. She
took o very sharp pair of embroid-
cry scissors and neatly trimmed the
lashes of her left eye. Then she
examined her work in the mirror and
was very much surprised at the result.
The left eye appeared much smaller
than the right and the row Of little
black stubs felt queer, to say moth
ing of how they looked. And the
comments it excited and the questions
she had to answer! AS bad as when q
man gets his hair cut.

eye?" some one would ask. Looks
as if you were going to have sty." IT
took long time before that eye match.
ed the other, and there was not the
slightest difference as regards the
growth after it did come out. Clearly
this is a scheme which deserves to
be exposed.
