OUEER DOINGS.

It is a queer thing that the most de-
 termined opposition to football is to be found in communities where lynching is approved, where the convict chain-gang is considered a matter of course and
 where "bad" man is honored and re-
 spected. The latest outbreak against
 football and football schools is in Ar kansas, whose governor, Dan W. Jones, says he will banish the game from the
 State. He calls football a "brutally dangerous and disgusting sport" men, tions it in the same breath with prize fighting and says: I have one of my sons as a pupil in standard Tennes- see college. didn't send him there to learn football. sent him there to de- velop his mental faculties and fit him. self to be a good and useful American citizen. Of course I don't mean that physical culture and development should not be tolerated. On the con- trary, believe certain amount of ex- ercise is necessary; but football is not the sort of exercise needed.
 We don't know what a "standard'' Tennessee college is, but it is probable that 1t Is all right if football is it's chief end and aim and if its great football players rank the faculty. But how ridiculous and futile are Governor Jones and those who look on football and football schools as he does And what can they do to stay the march of Christian civilization? For tunately not much. They can kick their feeble kicks against football, but when member of one of the mighty elevens of this part of the world kicks a goal in the presence of all the beauty and bravery that can crowd around the arena Governor Jones and his co-workers will not have as much consideration as flies on the chariot wheels of progress. Governor Jones may even buster his legislature into passing a law against football as did the Georgia legislature. But even then he will not be half as big a man as. little De Saulles."
 1T this anti-football business contin- ues to spread in the southern and western States perhaps it will be nec- essary to begin to talk about a Foot- ball Union, one and indivisible.

 Don't be too ambitious about that pompadour. Remember that if you curl the hair a little you will be able to make the short ends hold in" but that If you insist on trying to make your pompadour smooth and glossy, you will come to grief with every short hair that still flies out and advertises the erstwhile bang. These round combs that look so pretty when in are suited only for wear with hair already sub- missive to the pompadour, and the comb must be long enough on the sides or it will be constant annoyance. The tips of the ends must curve In sharply if you would have the comb catch and hold.
 Kerosene is an excellent dressing for the nails, but if the back of the hands are inclined to hardness, be careful about allowing the kerosene to get fur ther than the finger tips. Dip these in 1t, and let them Soak a little, rubbing softly. Then wash in hot water and soap, and use soft brush-cIear, of course, of all kerosene-till every little bit of the oil is gone. You will then find the finger nails clear, and the skin about the edges pliable. The trouble with the. usual acids offered for bleach- ing the nails is that the skin about the nail is rendered horny by their use. But the kerosene at once cleanses bleaches and softens Applied frequent ly it will preserve the nails in very good condition with the use of no other instrument than file to keep them the proper length.

The concession enraged the Germans, who saw in it the beginning of a policy injurious to their position They have, in consequence, kept the country in hot water for months and have now at length forced Badeni out by non-parliamentary means.

 The car was nearly to the city line before the conductor got around for our fares and in the meantime the passen- gers in the smoking compartment had discovered that the little man with the red nose had "a quiet one on.''

THE SMALLEST CITY IN THE
 WORLD.


 John De Salme bears the unique dis tinction of being mayor of the smallest city in the world. He is the chief ex- ecutive of Fenton, a beautiful little hamlet on the picturesque Meramec river, fifteen miles to the south and west of St. Louis
 There are less than one hundred people in Fenton, yet it has been an incorpor- ated city for more than twenty years. And during that time it has grown con- siderably. When it was first incorpor- ated there were less than forty-five in-
 It is the only city of it's size, in all probability, in the world that is incor- quota of city officials
 None of the city officials of this unique little place are paid salaries. Instead they receive certain fees for the has been long time since any of them collected any money, and even the city marshall, who constitutes the entire police force of the city, has not made a cent out Of his job for something like three years. No arrests are made in Fenton, and it has been so long sinca the squire had a case that when inc last magistrate died some years ago if was not thought worth while to elect his successor.
 There is no politics in Fenton. not in for that matter, there have been m elections for decade
 There never has been a dedication in Fenton. Fred Wehmeyer was detaile1 by the board Of control to keep the books Of the corporation, and the publie funds raised by taxasion were expend ed by the mayor in person, by and with the consent of the board.-St. Louis Re public.

FASHION NOTES.
A Useful shoulder Finish.

A collarette that will make dressy finish for any comparatively simple gown of light color is pictured below. Designed, as all new accessories are, for employment on new gowns, it should not be forgotten that it is as well, an entirely feasible device, for freshening a dress that has begun to show wear. It was made of puffed black silk muslin, had a square, sailor shaped back, with short shoulder pieces heightened in front by two long tabs of pleated chiffon. From a rosette at each side hung streamer of the mus lin. This picture shows, too, a sort of tiny headWear that is much worn now

YH Q ROW IN AILS1RI1

Count Badeni, the Austrian premier went into office in virtue of the emper- or's command, there being no party in the Reichsrath that had a majority or would undertake to form coalitions that would produce a reliable majority, He has gone out of office by the violence of the minority. The primary cause of his fall is a decree issued by him mak- ing the Bohemian language the official language in Bohemia, in lieu of German
 which had previously been the official language throughout Austria. The Germans constitute the wealthier and better educated class and have thus felt themselves entitled to predominance. But in the last few years the Germans have lost political power through dis sensions among themselves and through the increasing spirit of the Bohemians and Poles. When Badeni, who is a Pc e
