MAIDEN OF THE PoMPADoUR.
iOnable the Couture Of
the Day.

The whirling of time has brought the
feminine couture back to the days of
the latter end of the eighteenth century
and meglmania is the atfiction of well
dressed women at present. This alb
normal development Of head is brought
about by system of blowing and puff
ing and stuffing and pompadouring,
since the days of George III.
Unfortunately the prevailing colt
fure is very difficult to build gracefully
and stately without the aid Of skillful
maid or a hairdresser's art, and too
sadly often is the hat of the times
popped upon an elaboration of silky
locks that more nearly resemble a last
years crows nest than sweet wom-
ans head. The end and aim Of all ef-
forts in hair dressing is to have the
hugest frowning frontlet of a pompa-
dour possible, and a deliberate balloon
like effect behind. A series of combs
and system of rats are the necessary
apparatus for the erection Of such
studied artifciality, and few women
bother any longer to wave and curl.
The pompadour is best when it rolls
back quite smoothly, but the back hair
is occasionally crimped and then what
is left of hair ends for coiling is drawn
up into a small roll OF close Psyche
knot on the crown.
Untidy, as 80 out of 100 of these puffy
heads are, the effect of loose billowing
hair about the face is almost sure to
be becoming. Then both hlowse and
pompadour rolls are used as pincush-
ions in small way for more or less
ornamental hair brooches.
During the day when shopping and
calling little wreath of gold set with
colored stones, the whole affair no big
ger than 25-cent piece, is considered
sufficient, but at night really splendid
ornaments glitter and CLEAN in the
fluffy globe of back hair.-Chicago

not being quite possible for women to

Vassar finally persuaded the trustees
to let them nominate three women to

WHEN BABY GETS OLDER

You amt worryin' not a little bit,
Bout no Filipino annexation,
Nor no stock markets nor baseball,
Nor one O them great questions.
You amt troublin' your little brain
With any higher-criticism dogmas
Or relation of capital and labor.
You amt conjurin' up some funny crack
To spring on the public in a speech.
You don't care nothin' bout sixteen to one
Or benevolent assimilation
Or golf championships.
l tell you, son, there's lot of things
You ought to be thankful for.
Now you lie still there and look
Straight into your old pops eye
And I'll tell you few of them.
First, you've got lot better mother
Than any other kid ever had
In all the whole wide world,
And there you've got cinch
On hundred million other fellows
Right on the kickoff, see?
What are you smiling at, you little tike?
Did some baby joke come into your mind?
wonder if you've got any mind, anyway?
How do babies think when they don't know
words?
Look out there, now! don't you pucker up
Those lips. That won't do at all.
Look out, now! Look out, now! Take care!
What's struck you all at once?
There's nothin' the matter with you;
You re full, and there's no pins stickin' in
you,
Cause there's no pins in your nightie-
Your mamma said there wasn't
There, smile again, stubby-that's the stuff!
Now you look more respectable.

SAID SHE HAD HYsTER1A.
Al Injury Which the Mystified Doc
tor Did Not Thoroughly
Understand.

1t was really quite fortunate that a
medical man CHANGED along. There had
been an accident on a suburban road.
A horse had run away, the rig had been
smashed to smithereens and two wom-
en- had been injured to an unknown ex-
tent and had been carried into the
dining-room of the roadhouse near by.
The doctor had come that way just in
time to be of assistance.
OF the two women, whom he found
under the care of the landlords wife
and the mattresses, the elder seemed to
be more pressingly in need of his serv-
ices, while the younger struck him as
being more hysterical than anything
else. In the grave case he saw that
there was work to be done, at least two
ribs to be set and collar bone, and the
likelihood of internal injuries. While
the doctor was at work on these frac-
lures the other woman was making
quite fuss She was able to sit up in
chair, and showed no signs of injury
beyond superficial scratches and de-
ranged apparel.
. While the doctor was working out
the splints for the fractured bones he
could not help overhearing the moan
ing of the other patient and the sooth-
ing There, there, you poor dear!" of
her attendants. The girl kept repeat
ing: "1've lost my leg; bring me my
leg!" It was an absurd thing to say,
and the doctor attributed it to the hys-
terra of fright and the shock. And all
through the operation on the other pa
tent he could hear the hysterical girl
moaning: "Ive lost my leg! tell you,
bring me my Leg"
When the more important work had
been done and the last of the bandages
put in place the doctor was ready to
look after the simpler case, for which
he had already made out the diagnosis
of plain Mysteries.
Come, now" he said, in somewhat
sharp tones, don't be a baby. You're
all right if you'll only think so.'
II want my Leg" the girl replied.
cts come Off"
NONSENSE" the doctor answered.
"I'n give you little something to set
tie your nerves, and you will be all
right, for you will have to look after
your friend going home"
but, doctor, my legs come off; I
want my leg"
Nonsense! Stand up, now, and you
will see what silly delusion it isl
"But, doctor, can't stand up on one
leg; my other legs come off,
How much longer the dialogue might
have continued it would be hard to say.
But one of the witnesses seemed to have
an idea, and rushed out to the scene of
the breakdown. In gathering up the
fragments of the broken carriage the
men had picked up piece of artificial
anatomy clad in a black stocking and
a laced shoe, but exhibiting at the up
per end more or less complicated and
deranged machinery. On the group of
men the waitress descended with the We
locity of a tornado, expressing herself
as any woman would be expected to
under such circumstances. She seized
the leg and ran back to the dining-room
before the doctor and the patient had
finished their colloquy. From that on
all was clear.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

All the Family Of Johnsons
By NJ. QUAD. Copyright, 1893.

I had gone over to Bostonville from
Prairie City to hunt up man named
Johnson and have him sign quit
claim deed to piece of land. His
initial was given as &C." and thought
the landlord of the hotel would be able
to tell me where to find him. When
came to ask him he replied:
''There are just IS Johnsons around
here, and the given names Of six of
them begin with C. 1t might be
Charles johnson you want. Charles
lives about mile to the west, and he's
so stingy and mean that he'd want $10,-
600 for signing quit-claim deed to SIS
worth of land. Jest beyond him lives
Chuck johnson. Chuck has had
trouble about mortgage, and you
wouldn't get half through with your
explanations before he'd be tossing you
around on a pitchfork."
1T must be johnson who once
lived at Prairie City," suggested.
'1The whole Is used to live there
replied the landlord. Lets see. The
next johnson is Chauncey. We call
him Chaunce When he amt too drunk
to know his own name he's too ugly to
do business with. The next is Chip
johnson. I believe he's in Jail for try
ing to kill neighbor, and even if he
wasn't he wouldn't sign no deed until
YOU had coaxed him for three months.
The other two are Cicero and Caesar"
"Perhaps it's one of them want"
said.
"Then you might as well give right
up at once. Cicero would set his four
dogs on you the minute you hove in
sight, and Caesar is hiding away some
where to escape the sheriff. That uses
up all the Johnsons whose first name
begins with CO..
''But I'd like to find my man and
have him sign"
Eyes, I suppose so, but don't see
how you are going to work it. Just wait
here for awhile and let me go out and
see what can scare up"
In about 20 minutes he returned in
company with farmer and asked:
''How much are you going to pay for
that quit-claim?"
LII give S2o.
Gail right-he'll sign it,
"But is this the C. Johnson WHOSE
signature I desire?"
His name is johnson, and he'll write
any name before it you want"
"But that won't do. I've got to have
the legal signature of the right John
son."
"Look here, stranger" said the John.
son who had been brought in, do yoo
know that there are Is of us Johnsons
around here?"

"Jest IS, sir, and the C. Johnsons, the
3. Johnsons and the o. and the E. John
sons hev got so mixed up that any old
Johnson kin sign any old paper fur any
other johnson and there won't be no
kick over it. I've jest bin to the post
office and got about 20 letters fur the
Johnsons, and I'm claiming every
blamed one of them fur my own, whilst
I left word at home this mornin' that if
any Johnson came along while was
away he was to run the farm and lick
the children same as myself"
