Why are redheaded people less sub
ject to badness than those with fair or
brown hair? An English physician has
answered this conundrum.
The hair of the redheaded is relative
" thick, one red hair being as thick as
five blond or three brown hairs With
80 900 red hairs the scalp Is well
thatched. With the same number OF
blond hairs one is almost bald. 1t takes
100, 000 blond and 105, 000 brown hairs
to cover adequately an ordinary head

A PLEASANT DAY
Was Spent by The Editor and His
Correspondents at
Silver Lake.

Tuesday, the correspondents OF the
REPUBLICAN held their annual picnic
at Silver Lake and had day OF gen
inc rest and enjoyment. The day was
IDEAL and twenty-six sat down to a
good dinner and delightful chat
around the well laden table. Every
one there was pleased, and had feast
of true enjoyment. The editor was
not able to perform with his usual
ability at the table, but he enjoyed
himself seeing the happiness OF the
rest.
Commodore Bevis wasn't feeling his
best, himself, but he got over to the
grounds, and went home feeling much
better for his visit.
Miss Watkins, of Huntington, Ind
lana, Miss Shafer, of Muncie, and Mr..
Paxton of Mt. Victory, were among
those who attended from abroad.
The absence of ''Rick" and 'Black
Bass was much regretted, and Cruso
was voted q red card for coming from
Lake View on his wheel.
One brought a bunch of golden rod
from the Hardin county line, one
brought two red roses from the North
east and one brought maple leaf from
the southwest, for the EDITORS bouquet.
The joke of the day, was on those who
stayed away.

THE PRESBYTERY
DissOlves the Pastoral Relation O1
DIR. q. w. Hamilton With the ..
u. p. Church.

The Sidney Presbytery. at its meet
ing in our city Tuesday, acceded to the
request of DR.. G.. w. Hamilton to dis
solve his pastoral relation with the
United Presbyterian church of this
city.
Mr.. Hamilton has several inviting
fields in view, including one in Califor-
MIA and one in the cityof Des Moines, Ia,
but has not yet decided upon any loca-
tion. We wish him good field, and
trust the church here may soon secure
a new pastor. Everybody regrets that
the Doctor and his estimable family
are to leave us, but the minister's mis-
sion is to go where a field is open for
him, when he has a call.

pursued by Marshal Heatherman, of
Urbana, Mayor Johnson's brother, Pa

tives, which occurred at the beautiful

August %, was in all respects the most
pleasant of these meetings.
The day was very pleasant, and a
larger number of the fraternity and
their friends were present than at any

same place about one year from the
same time.

dent, presided at the business meeting.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year were: Abram H. Moore, Presi-

dent; VIM. Phenegar, Secretary; Up
ton Moore, Treasurer.
The chair appointed H. G. Moore,
Eta Hewling and Clarence Moore, a
committee on exact date and arrange
ments for the next meeting.
The park tables were placed in the
large hall where $50 persons partoOk OF
the substantial and toothsome dinner
brought in we'll filed baskets, besides
about so friends of the fraternity, who
