The experience of Roderick Dhu
Smith, who recently returned from the
Klondhke region with big budget Of
experience, quite a little sum OF money
and a head Of hair which almost quail
fies him to take an engagement as a
Circassian girl in a circus--ls OF es-
pecial interest to large contingent OF
his fellow-men and women. For be IL |
known that Rodericl1, before making
his perilous way to the Arctic regions,
thnngh otherwise pleasing to look upon
and still ON the sunny side OF forty,
was the owner of a head which made |
theatre ushers, whenever there was
ballet on the program, escort him down
to the front row without even glanclng
at his seat check.
While this might have been consid-
cred an advantage by some people. u
was not pleasing to Mr.. Smith, who Is
as essentially modest man and averse
to being made unduly prominent ON
any occasion. 1t is said, too, that his
badness was the real cause OF his
starting out in search OF gold, since he
spent all his patrimony in the pur-
chase Of hair restorers, and Il was
necessary for him to do something, no
matter how desperate, to retrieve his
fallen fortunes.
Be that as It may, he went to Alaska,
and after a two years residence there,
has returned a modern Samson, as far
as chevalure is coneerned, and he de-
clares that the Transformation is en-
tlrely due to the rlgors OF the climate
in that quarter of the globe.
"The intense cold Kills all germs and
microbes" he asserts, "and stimulates
the scalp and nature does the rest, =
and he proudly exhibits his lion-IiRa
name as proof OF what nature can 40
when she takes a fancy, unassisted ~
washes or oils or unguents Of any
kind.

years in Alaska and the Northwest, al

knowing Mr.. Smith personally, and did
not therefore see the sprouting and thf
bourgeoning OF his especial crop oi
