The loss Of the hair 10 one Of the most
serious losses q woman can undergo.
Beautiful hair gives many q woman q

feet OF the Marquis de Vaudreul, he won
300 guneaS about 81 500 in Il game with
Wayne, Laurens and Hanlilton. But there
is nothing to- show that he WIGS addicted TO
gaming Tor its own sake or for profit;
though he seems to have been generally
successful when he played.
IN MONEY MATTERS.
In business intercourse, or in what is
generally termed money matters" Paul
Jones was exact in regard 10 his obliga-
tons toward others, hut lax as to these of
o hers toward him. OF this latter fact his
financial relations with our Government
itself afford the most striking evidence.
He served on the active list of the CONT
mental Navy as q Captain, from 1716 TO 1884
eight years. In all that time he drew from
the public treasury only 81 $50 on person al
account for either pay allowances or travel
ing expenses.
An account rendered by him in Novem-
Der, 1854, exhibits by items that. since
November, 1916, he had expended in the
public service alone, mainly in advancing
money to sailors and buying stores for
his ships when the Commissioners had
no money S57 eco of his private funds,
without making any account whatever of
his own personal expenses while COM
handing ships endeavoring to procure
them abroad. In his memorandum ac-
companying this account he quantity says:
My mess bills aboard ship count for but
little in this total; for my cabin table, ex-
cept when | had to entertain officers on
board, was always supplied from the ships
galley, and Jared with the crew."
He gave no public account of his per-
sonal expenditure in consequence of lack
of pay and allowances during these eight
years, but privately, TO Mr.. Hewes, Robert
Morris and others he estimated it to be at
least S45 900 to $50, 0C0. So that it may
safely be said that Paul Jones gave the
Government his services eight years with
out pay and expended 500, 600 of his own
money for its benefit besides.

care was taken to preserve the ancient

panion.
In recent publication, "A Godchild of
Washington the author quotes from the
New York Mirror of 1884 an interesting
authority is Colonel Nicholas Fish, a SOL
der of the ReVolution and the father of
the Hon. Hamilton Fish, secretary of
state under President Grant.
Just before Bafayette's death he was
invited. with the American minister to
dine at the house of Marbois. who was
the French secretary of legation to the
American colonies during the revolution.
When dinner was announced the COM
pany was shown into Il room which con-
trasted strangely with the elegance of
the other apartments.
A low. boarded painted ceiling. with
large beams. a single small uncurtalned
window, with numerous small doors. as
well as the general style OF the whole,
gave at first the idea of the kitchen. or
largest room of a Dutch or Belgian farm
house.
On a rough table was a repast, which
consisted of large dish of meat, I'M
couth-looking pastry, and wine in de-
canters and bottles, accompanied by glass
and silver mugs, such as indicated other
habits and tastes than those of modern
Paris.
DO you know where you are?" said
the host to Lafayette.
He paused for few moments-he had
seen something like this before. but when
and where?

visitors presence. Some We're stretched
out upon bits of canvas or sheets of
newspapers, sleeping calmly, as if the
laughter and talking and the multi
tUdinous noises OF a man-of-War COM
munity were simply parts of a moth
er's lullaby. Others were reading or
writing, their desks being cramped-
knee or the unsteady lid of a ditty-
box. One man was shaving with the
aid Of a triangular piece of glass rest
ing against a bulShead, and tall,
gaunt marine, coatless, and with the
collar of his flannel shirt thrown open,

Thompson stopped near the port for
ward corner of the deck. About the
level of his head was a new square
patch of steel in the ships side. 1t
had not yet received the last coat of
paint and it doomed red and ugly in
the semi gloom.
"There was a big jagged hole there
few days ago" said the bluejacket in
a peculiarly sad tone of voice. It's
where tn shell came throo that ex-
ploded on tn other side of tn deck an
killed one of our apprentices. You

an open headlight. The spot where the
apprentice had been killed seemed dis
tasteful to him, and he got his party
of visitors to the upper deck as speed

THE TRUTH ABOUT DREYFUS.
Why the Devils Island Prisoner May Not Be Released

Rome, Sept 23.-Each sensational de-
velopment in the Dreyfus case has
served to complicate the matter in the
minds of the general public, and to
deepen the mystery surrounding the
prisoner of Devils island WAS Drey-
fus really guilty, or was he not?" is
the question the world in general is in
terested in having answered. The I'M
fairness of the disgraced captains trial
and the genera course of the French
matter, has led most persons TO the
conclusion that an innocent man was
sacrificed to uphold the prestige of the
French military tribunal and shield the
honor of the army.
Still it is not safe to jump to this
conclusion too hastily. III. Cavaignac
had the courage to expose Colonel
Henry's forgery, although he knew that
in doing so he was shaking to its foun-
dation the nations confidence in the
