Breaking It G eatly.

New York Sun: He was digging rock 1. in a phosphate mine on the Ten Mile hill, near Charleston, S. C., and I was assistant superintendent of the place. One day after the hands had knocked off he said to me:
 Boss, is you know how fur rite one letter?"
 I assured him that my education had extended that far, and asked him to whom he wished to write.
 "To my bredder," said he.
 And where is your brother?"
 He am enn de penitentiary."
 For what?"
 He kill one man."
 Murdered someone?"
 "He ain't murder no one; he slaughter 'em."
 "Ah, manslaughter?
 Oats de way. Will you please write one letter to en, en arx how he do His name Gus Pritchard."
 How is that when you are his brother and your name is Robnson?'
 "Oh, dat's all right. Befo' he wah nig- ger benn hab only one name, same like de people cen de Bible, en so dey tek der massa nam fer de lass name."
 Very we'll; I'll write to inquire about Pritchard."
 I wrote to the superintendent of the penitentary in Columbia and was in formed that Pritchard had been dead for several months. I did not like to tell the news in person to Robinson, so l asked George Washington to do so and I endeavored to impress upon George the necessity of breaking the news gently.
 "Oh, I know what you mean" said George. T know. All right, sah."
 On the following day I asked George whether he had broken the news to Rob- inson, and he replied:
 "Oh, yes, sah; I tell em cen de way wha you say I muss. Fuss I say 'Sambo, enty you got one bredder? En he say, Yes Den I say, 'Enty yo bredder am cen de penitentiary?" En he say, Yes, again. Den I say, He dead.'"
 Good gracious, man. Do you call that breaking the news gently? What did Robinson say?"
 "Sambo say: Oh, den he am dead? But wuffer you tell me bout em cen such a roun about way?'

tive Parisian sisters have been doing for
 some time.
 There is certain fitness of things In the combination of Pompadour hair,
 fchus, wide collars and deep ruffS, and
 the parting must go, or the would-be
 up-to-date woman will be entirely out of
 the race. American women adopt a
 mode with great unanimity after they
 once approve and take it up, but they
 are slow to act on the first suggestion
 of change. The modern Pompadour is
 not so trying and severe in outline as
 the old, for the hair is first waved, not
 frizzed, all around the head in deep, soft
 waves, and a few short tendril-like curls are brought down on the forehead to
 make it becoming. The ideal coiffure is always the one which improves rather than detracts from the appearance, so it is wise to copy the French women again. and always modify the fashion to suit the individual.
 Almost any mode of hairdressing is in order. from the high knot on the crown of the head to the ugly big Bath bun worn by English women low in the neck providing 1t has a touch of style in the arrangement. One thing noticeable in the latest cultures is that more hair is worn, and short curls are sometimes added to the knot in the back. Fancy side combs have disappeared from the front and top of the head, and are more often worn at the back. When the part ing is vastly becoming, as it is to long and perfectly proportioned oval faces the hair is waved loosely down over the ears or combed back to stand well out at the sides, and arranged in soft coils or loops at the back.
 Tortoise shell ornaments are to be worn more during the summer than the jeweled ones which have reigned through the winter.-London Daily Telegraph

A Leaf Fluttered by the Wind

Is not more tremulous than nerves de- bilitated or overstrained. Nights of un- rest, followed by days of discomfort. are the common lot of the nervous. This class of invalids, too, is usually troubled with indigestion and imperfect assimi- lation. Indeed. to the inability of the system to perform these twin functions may be largely attributed all nervous symptoms. Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters is a sovereign remedy for nervous ness. Dyspepsia and non-assimilation of the food are remedied by it, as are also malarial and kidney complaints, biliousness constipation and rheuma- tism. Confirmed nervousness cannot be permanently remedied by opiates or sed- atives, which are highly prejudicial to health, and soon fail of effect save in increasing doses.

 Anything new in the art of hairdress- ing is of special interest to the woman who delights in change of any sort and especially in arranging fler hair accord ing to the very latest mode regardl ss of the contour of her face and the be- coming effect. All kinds and varieties of cultures are continually replacing one another, and any style which distin- guishes a woman from the prevailing fashion seems new simply because 1t is not in general use. And now the woman who would be indisputably stylish must dispense with the parting she has taken so much trouble to cul- tivate and adopt the later fashion of rolling the hair back from her forehead a la Pompadour, as her less conserva-

James Flanaghan was driving the
horses. which were attached TO a heavy
brewery wagon. Between Taylor and

telephone wire became tangled about
the horses legs. 1t had been highly
charged by coming In contact with the
feed wire Of the trolley road and badly
burned and almost shocked the horses
to death before the wire could be sew
