Their names are Edward Cogan. a

Don't Get Red-Headed.

The general supposition is that to get
red-headed" is slang for getting angry.
This is based upon the prevalent belief
that red-headed persons are more ex-
citabIe and liable to sudden passion
than other people-a belief hardly in
harmony with the fact that the dark
haired dark skinned races Of southern
climes are more highly strung and vio-
lently passionate than the fair haired
natives Of the north.
But does not the hair really and ac-
tually change hues under the more vio-
lent emotions. just as does the COM
plexion? There are plenty Of instances
where intense fear and mental suffer-
ing have blanched hair to snowy white
in a few hours. Will it turn red with
passion?

friend of mine, with light brown hair in

A French Board and Its Lesson

in the country districts in France
boards are put up telling people what
animals and insects should not be killed
and the reason. and also which ones
should be exterminated in order to af-
ford protection to the farmer First on
the board is this:
This board Is placed under the pro-
lection Of the common sense and hon
esty OF the public
And. Of course, after that no boy or
man would mar or remove the board.
Then follows these instruc tons:
Hedgehog lives upon mice, snails and
wire worms-animals injurious to agri-
culture. Don't kill hedgehog.
Toad helps agriculture. destroys
twenty to thirty insects hourly. Don't
kill toads.
Mole destroys wire worms, larvae and
insects injurious to the farmer. No
trace OF vegetables is ever found in his
stomach: does more good than harm.
Don't kill moles.
Cock chafer and It's larvae-deadly
enemy to farmers: lays seventy to 100
eggs. XIII the cock chafer
"Btrds-Each department Of France
loses yearly many millions OF francs by
the injury done by insects. Birds are
the only enemy capable Of battling with
them vigorously; they are great helps to
farmers. Children. don't take bird S
nests"
And 80 On the instructions read
Among the animals which need killing
on a farm are mice and rats, and the
reason they increase in spite Of the COLI
slant warfare OF cats and dogs is be-
cause the boys on the farm kill the ami
mails that would destroy the pests il
they had a chance.

Col. Will L visscner tells a na4hetfc
story IN connection with the organiza
ton Of G. A r post at Tacoma. The
average post is named after some one Of
the great generals who were conspicu-
Gus in the war. But there are MANY
names which, though perhaps not pre-
nxed by any grand titles, are fully as
worthy Of the honor as any that have
been used. Col Visscher felt this most
emphatically at the time of the organi-
cation alluded to. When the question of
name arose. there were dozens offered,
and no doubt that Of some noted gen.
era1 or brigadier-general would have
been selected had 1t not been for the
Colonel's story. AS It was, however, the
post was organized, Col. Visscher was
elected commander and the name of
Coleman r. Aperson was adopted, amid
the greatest enthusiasm.

Santa Clara Laid Waste.

Havana, Oct. "A cyclone has

miles an hour, uprooting trees. wreck

College Diploma. and Debts.

Ann Arbor boys. says the Detroit Tri-
bune. are ordered that they "canno* be
graduated' unless they pay w all
their debts" The enterprise smells Of
the shrewdness Of the thrifty townspeo-
pie Of Ann Arbor. A little board bill
here, a little beer bill there, a laundry
bill somewhere else-no diploma. This
is sheer nonsense. The faculty OF the
university should never descend to such
trucking with local merchants. Is the
Board Of Regents to be regarded as a
collection agency? Is the terror OF with
holding a well-earned diploma to intim-
idate the boys into paying all their bills
on a certain day? Well, some Of them
have not the money, and what then?
Are they to be disbarred? 1t is about
time that some one out in that town was
bold enough to make a test case. We
would advise the young gentleman to
do as they please about their bills. and
not construe the faculty as a bill col

WHAT WOMEN DRESS FOR.
One Of Them Says 1t is to Please the
Taste of Men,

a group Of young women sat around
a dainty tea table discussing dress and
their waters almost in the same breath
IT am only beginning to take an inter

maid who had just returned from
summer resort where there were TWEEN
ty-six girls to three men. Although
my summer costumes were perfectly
lovely 1 did not thrill over them once.

most becoming frock when there were
40 men to be overpowered by the effect.
! argue that we dress to please the men,
therefore I state in all candor that /
don't care button what sort of gowns
| have unless I know that men are 60
ing to see them
But a woman knows more about
their value and their style" put in
brown-eyed creature who always looks
well.
That's all very true" argued num-
Der one. but the influence that men ex-
ercise upon women's dress is certainly
underestimate. The taste Of the hus-
band. the taste of the lover. Of the init
mate friend, and even Of the brother,
has always to be deferred and submit
ted to, and In each and every case is
acknowledged to be superior to that
possessed by his fair subject The Sc
cret of this is, perhaps, in a measure
due to the fact that the masculine eye
sees and judges from the effect pro-
ouced. and a verdict is passed accord
ingfy, whereas the feminine mind is Of
ten distracted by the choice of color
material. trimming and style offered:
and when and where natural good taste
does exist It is frequently dominated
by the will Of another actuated by self
interest. and thus good judgment Is for
the moment overpowered. Again, the
desire to confine expense within a GER
tain limit Is another fertile source OF
sacrifice on the altar of good taste.
Still. allowing all this and more, the fact
remains incontrovertible that a man in
tuittvely knows what suits a woman
better than she does herself
With convincing air the speaker set
her cup down, gave herself a furtiye
glance in the mirror. and departed to be
seen soon after on Walnut street look

BULLS FIGHT TO TIE DEATH.

Florida Woods.

Florida Woods.
To settle a bet made by their owners
two bulls met in a duel to the death near
Callahan, Fla The combat took place
in an inclosed space in the Piney Woods
about 200 feet square, says the New
York Morning Journal. and was wit
messed by over 1000 citizens. many OF
them from Jacksonville and Fernan-
dina. The bulls were owned by Messrs
McLendoc and Jones, wealthy planters.
No gamer animals ever met in the arena
The Jones bull was Of red color and
the McLendon animal OF a dun hue
The bulls were about eight years old
and each weighed about 900 pounds. This
animals have been noted for their fierce
ness. and their owners have been forced
20 keep them closely confined.
The other day the owners met and be-
gan discussing the fighting qualities OF
the bulls. which resulted in an agree
ment to match the animals for $500 a
side.
The animals were driven into the arena
from opposite sides. and then began 8
contest which will long be remembered
by those present The bulls were eager
for the fray and Immediately dashed al
one another. They met with terrific
force in the middle Of the arena. Both
seemed partially stunned by the sho,l
Of the collision The red bull was the
first to recover, and dashed at the dur
animal. succeeding In gashing the later
in the side The wound only served tc
enrage the dun bull. and he repaid 1t in
kind, tearing open the flank OF the rec
animal The contest continued for thir
ty minutes with the utmost ferocity
each animal giving and receiving dozen:
of wounds The red bull was the more
active. and. probably, bore feWel
wounds than his opponent. Both AMI
mails were now winded and seemed will
ing to rest q few minutes. Bets were
to that the red bull would win.
AS soon as the animals had rested the!

to the ground and seemed unable to rise
The red animal gave a conclusive kici
or two and became still. while the dur
bull continued to struggle, but could no
rise. TIL. spectators approached ane
found that in the collision one of the
dun's hor.ls had entered the right eye
OF the red animal, penetrating the brair
and causing instant death. The animal;
met with such force that the dun bull
could not withdraw his horn, and the
skull of the red animal was split In or
der to release the victor. Although TIL
dun bull had won by a chance blow. he
was horribly wounded. He had beer
torn in twenty places by the horns OF
his opponent. and his wounds viii prob
ably prove fatal. The sand Of the arena
resembled the floor Of a slaughter house
SO profusely were the combatants bled
1t is estimated that $4,000 changed
hands on the result. The spectators
most of whom saw the Corbett-Mitch-l
