Helped His Cat Torture q Roach.

West Twenty-seventh street. Mrs.
Miller went out Friday evening. Mil
ler felt tired and went to bed early,
but before he put the light out lay in
bed and watched the cat playing with
a roach it had caught.
Miller got up once or twice to assist
the kitten when the roach escaped,
and finally dropped to sleep without
blowing out the lamp. The cat kept
awake.
Miller awoke few minutes later to
find that the cat had knocked over the
lamp, which was in front room, and
the whole room was ablaze.
To get out it was necessary for him
to reach the fire escape in>that room,
and in going through he was badly
burned. He was taken to the station
house, where his burns were dressed,
and he was then carried to Roosevelt
Hospital. Miller lost about S4O0 worth
of furniture, and the cat has net been
seen since. e.-New York Times.

If one has low Greek forehead, OF
course this style of dressing the hair
will be becoming. It calls for absolu-
tely clean hair, too, because the pnffs
simply will not puff if the hair is oily
or unclean. If your forehead is very
high you may wear few love locks
about the temples, but they must be
very unobtrusive, indeed. This style
was once favorite with Mrs. Cleve-
land. She may adopt it again. Too
few women are careful of the manner
in which they dress the hair for even
ing, letting stray locks fly in every di-
rection, because there is no confnlng
vail, but the pompadour will do away
with that entirely, for it requires
dainty treatment to make it ''go." To
cover up the ears is always crime, and
not many will regret that the ugly
fashion is entirely obsolete.
In the matter of hair adornments
YOU can pay your money and take your
choice. Jeweled combs come all Of
six inches long, which catch back the
ends of the pompadour roll and tuck
tipepicely around the knot in the back.

to hold down SSe rebellious bangs in

and little, giant and dwarf, made of
most of the precious metals and imita-
ted in all the base ones. Ther& are
dainty little coronets of colcred gems'
and half CROWNS of pure white rhine

rup rpu,4s OF nEEn DRINKING.

Here's story from Washington, D. c., sad
but true, as may be ascertained from the
official records Of the coroner, which should
be shown to those mistaken persons who say
that beer is harmless beverage. Only
few nights ago young woman IN good
health and high spirits left her mothers
house to keep an engagement. When tnat
L:otAer saw her daughter again she was
corpse, just dragged from the filthy water Of
an old canal, and it was beer, that ,so-called
'tharmless beverage" that murdered her,
although the verdict Of the coroner's jury
says: 1--WE do not hold anybody responsible
for her DEATH" But the real cause OF her
death was told by the man who accompanied
her, when he stated under oath that they
had visited several saloons. and that the
girl had drank several bottles, and glasses OF
beer. Exactly how the young woman lost
her life will probably never be known. The
man who was with her said he LETT her to
get more beer, and returned to find her in
the canal-dead.- National Temperance Ad-

Another style, much affected by
young ladies, is to part the hair and
roll it back from the face over q puff,
and do it in knot midway of the back
of the head. It is quite effective on
some faces.
For evening wear the hair is waved
in front for matron and parted in

face with tendril or two about the
temples. At the back is twist OF the
hair, with soft curl or two on the

and put to his lips. He shook his head and
murmured, "Let me die before you give me
