mnir a sonroo of lYorrv.

A fashionable hairdresser, to whom
q customer was bewailing her fate tho
other day, said that half the wrinkles
on fair faces are caused by worry about
hair. "a woman came to me ono day
not long ago md asked me to arrange
her hair in what, according to my
Judgment, would be the most becom-
ing style for her to wear. She was q
littlo dark woman with q slight, oval
face, and her hair was black and
straight. She had worried, har-
rassed expression, and lines about her
eyes and mouth that needed aoftening. .
The philosophical hairdresser smiled at
tho recollection and continued: "I
twisted her back hair into low, soft
knot, q sort Of bun, only softer and
more becoming r parted it in the
middle in front, and waved it, leaving
the waves ripple down across tho fore
head, and drew them back over her
ears, making the ridges puff out. No
curls were on the forehead no frizzes
or fyaway looks. It was simple and
soft without being untidy, and r con-
fess [ was proud of my handiwork
when it was finished.
"rhe little woman looked at herself
in the mirror for few seconds before
she spoke. She smiled like pleased
ohild and tho lines faded out Of her
face like magic. She appeared about
ten years younger. It wasn't tho
coiffure. It was simply because she
was SO ploasod. Then she poured her
woes into my ear eIt seems that her
husband had special and particular
fondness for pretty hair. She had
tortured hor looks into every fashion
she could think Of to please him, but
her most earnest efforts mot with eth
or silence or derision. Sho caine to
me-about tho tenth hairdross6r she
had been to I imagine because she
took fancy to q wax head in the win
dow She admitted that to every
coiffeuse who had dressed her llair sho
had given instructions TO dress it elab-
orately. In that lay the whole trou-
bic. Dark hair should not be dressed
deliberately. Curls and frizzes, with
out reason or limit, belong to tho fair
haired woman. And thin, serious
face should be softened by fullnoss
and putllnSss around checlis and tenn
pies, bnt tho fullness should look as
little like art and as much like nature

The rector put his hand into his waist

,fONOPOLY'S CRIMES.

A few Sundays ago the Rev. Father
Ducey, of New York. preached sermon
on the conditions that confront the
American people and among other things
said:
The present condition of the poor in
the United States cannot 90 on. *N
Congress must make laws to protect the
peoples rights and to abrogate the laws
which have been Iassed by bribery in the
interest of fraud. = Wrong, inius.
t!ce and oppression cannot prevail against
the laws Of God and the rights OF hu-
mainly. The problem before the
world to-day is the relief of man from
unjust burdens heaped upon the great
mass of the people by the concentrated
power of wrong, the com binntlons of i'll
gotten wealth and unjust privileged
legislation in favor of class aaainst the
God given rights of the great masses"
For making this statement the rever-
end father has been pounced upon by the
goid-bug monopoly press. They insist
that tbs social and economic conditions
are just what they should be; that there
is entirely too much talk about wrongs
and injustice to the people and that il the
people could only realize how much good
is constantly coming to them through the
tireless efforts of the rich monopolistic
phiianthropists (0 the people would
praise the genluses who have brought
about the present easy 'and prosperous
conditions for all --mankind. The Rich
mond Times says we should be happy be-
cause we have comforts that our fore
fathers of a hundred years ago never had,
and that pound Of sugar and pound
of tobacco can now be lad for less than
half the cost a hundred years ago. The
monopolistic blood suckers coolly tell us
we have no right to kick; that we are
rolling in hilarious luxury and growl-
ing because there is not more of 1t. And
why should we not be happy and sing
praises to the benevolent government
that showers upon us the vast blessings
we enjoy! Think of the conditions that
envroned the cliff dwellers anu the Dig
ger Indians They had no rocking
chairs and looking glasses. We have
painted calico and they had coon skins.

oRFICE-HoLDER GRABBER.

The Salem Sentinel of Tuesday printed
the following editorial paragraphs:
care you land grabber. If so, you
can rest assured you will, never be AN
office holder in this commonwealth dur
ing the life OF the present generation.

man who was instrumental in pushing

prosperity has come, but it is to the
commonwealth only. The people are
made to suher in many instances by the
FAILURE OF some commonwealth officer to
do his duty. Look into this delinquent
matter and you will be astonished at the
condition of things"
The Sentinel is apparently waxing up
to condition of affairs which The ines
has long lsbored to put before the pub.
lie in the interest of the people. Politics
brings about many astonishing conditions
among the elect gang of office holders. 1t
has long been the opinion of the people
at large that when man is elected to
Office it is for the purpose of serving the
people. This Of course, Is what the peo-
pie think. But the Office holder can gen
orally tell you ty his actions, If not in
words, different tale. He hustled for
his office, not for the honors, but fol the
emoluments,and where the latter are few
Just SO sure is it hard to find a man to fill
the office. The Sentinel should not lose
heart. Election day will come once more,
at least, and then maybe the people will
speak
