Complaint is often made that pho
tograph of person, though it is a good
likeness, lacks something. The face is
there, and its outlines and features are
correct in form; but Life and expression
are absent. In most such cases the fault
is not with the photographer, but with
the person who ordered the picture and
gave directions as to how it should be
finished. The matter with the picture
is that all the lines which give the fea-
lures character and individuality have
been touched out. The natural result
is the face of a person who never had a
thought nor experienced the stirring
of an emotion. There are many persons
who are sensible enough to tell the
photographer to finish the picture just
as the camera caught it; but there are
many others whose vanity prompts
them to give directions to touch up the
picture so that it will look NICE"

The too realistic stage duel, in which
one or the other of the combatants is
more or less seriously injured-in the
press notices-has been frequently
used for advertising purposes; but in
Pittsburgh, Pa, few days ago, it be-
came fatal actually. The victim was
John Gardener, member of COM
pany that was playing "A Put-Up Job. "
a sensational melodrama. In the duel
of the play he was slightly pricked in
the abdomen with the sword of his
adversary. He paid no attention to
the wound, because it was light; but in
a short time symptoms of blood-pois-
oning developed and thereafter gan
creme set in and he died. Hereafter,
edged weapons that are used on the
stage should be dipped in an antisep-
tic solution just before they are used,
to prevent fatal results from possible
scratch.

Good Price for a Husband.

Quotations on husbands have been
sharply bid up by the action of Henry
Croley, of Lasalle, N. Y. He will pay,
reports local exchange, $4,000 in
cash to any acceptable man who will
marry his daughter, and has made the
matter public through the newspapers.
The method chosen is a matter that
concerns no one but the parties inter-
ested. If Mr.. and Miss Croley prefer
husband hunting with $4,000 pro-
jectiles to ensnaring men in the or
binary way, no one has any right to
criticise. But there is a public CUES.
ton involved, and one that furnishes
an interesting line of speculation.
Husbands not being listed on the stock
exchanges and their sale being infre-
quent, even on the curb, the query nat
urally arises just how much virtue, in
dustry and ability Mr.. Croley is entitled
to receive for his money. In the open
market $4,000 will buy considerable
amount of industry. 1t would not re-
quire drag to carry home the virtue
that could be obtained for the price,
but still there would be enough to make
showing, while ability, too, is reason
ably cheap. But, while one may obtain
considerable amount of any one of
these three qualities at the upset price,
combination of all is rare and apt to
be expensive. 1t is doubtful If Mr..
Croley, for the money appropriated
can secure really first-class article
in the husband line.

Alfred C. Weber, of Lisbon Center,
Me-, has in his possession small bale
of hay, about eight inches long and
four inches deep and wide, and one of
the reasons why Mr.. Weber keeps this
hay in his best room is because it is
nicely wired and put between thin
pieces of boards so that no chaff can
escape, but chiefly because the hay was
cut as far back as l749, on the John
Rogers farm in Kittery. 1t was baled
up by Mr.. T. Trafton, who was native
of Kittery, and who is now dealer in
Massachusetts.

Last year when the Twenty-second
Kansas passed through little town in
Ohio, on it's way to Camp Alger, Guy
Cooter, who lives east of here, threw a
bareback from the car window into Il
crowd of girls. He had written his
name and address on it, and the young
woman who got the cracker wrote a
letter to Cooter, which he promptly an
swered. Since then the letter writing
has continued, and in q few weeks
Cooter is to 60 to Ohio and Mrs. Guy
Cooter will accompany him home. He
is leading young business man in that

Allentown, Pa, has one of the pref
test law cases on record. About year
ago Charles f. Schadt passed the gro
Gerry store of Henry X. Lands and re-
marked that the peaches looked fine.
Mr.. lands is alleged to have said: TRY
one" and Schadt took two. Suisse
ouently the latter was arrested for
stealing the peaches, which were valued
at three cents. The alderman before
whom the case was heard discharged
the accused, and the costs, amounting
to about ten dollars, were paid by the
county. Then Mr.. Schadt sued Mr..
Lands, claiming $1,000 damages for
false arrest, and the case is now before
the court,

The American Diet.

Says an Englishman visiting cur
country: "The alienation Of hot ard
cold things is one of the most interest
ing things about the American diet, l
am always fascinated by my neighbors
in the hotel. They drink hot and strong
coffee from which | can see the smoke
rise. They are equally devoted to ice wa
ter. They like their ice water at a tenn
perature which can be produced only by
pouring a little water into "a glass
packed with ice. They drink the two
alternately. Every gulp of boiling cof-
fee is followed by swallow of ice wa
ter. This is evidently not done be-
cause they burn their tongues. 1t is
evidently done because they are pleased
with the alienation of something very
warm and something very cold. dis
covered after awhile that there were
other persons who were addicted to the
same process of drinking coffee and ice
water. In fact, it was rather general;
and for that reason, wondered more
than ever how such taste could ever
have become popular. More curious
than that combination was another
which was popular in my American
plan hotel. Ice water and buckwheat
cakes were inexplicable on any gas
tronoElic grounds. The union of the
two suggested horrors of indigestion

| ing hot coffee, smoking buckwheat
cakes were the most popular accom-
paniment to ice water" One cannot

A large manufacturing concern of
Dayton, o., has issued notice that from

have had kindergarten training, and
after 1915 no application for employ

An explosion of liquid air recently
caused the death of the American in
ventor, who had exhibited the most
remarkable results with the strange
product, which, while made at tenn
perature of 600 degrees below zero, is
in q boiling condition. The ordnance
departments of Europe are expert
menting with liquid air as an explosive.
If it should prove more effective than
powder there will be trouble on hand

his back last rub against the lamp

One of the teachers in a Chicago
school is very particular about keeping
the pupils fully employed during study
hours. One day he saw some pupils un-
occupied, whereupon he assigned them
tasks, and then said, blandly: You
know, boys, that Satan finds work for
idle hands to do" Then there was a
grin. followed by giggle, eliminating
in roar of laughter, and, when the
teacher saw the joke, he had to chime

 City of Pine Bluff.

[ be city council in their endeavor to keep the cows from running al large upon our streets have also in. advertently, no doubt on their part, given notice 10 the people that the best thing they can do is 10 buy an automobile. The ordinance mak ing this so was published in Thurs days Commercial as follows:
 "Phe following is ordinance No. 470 touching upon the new COW and stock law: "Ttat it shall be unlaw- ful for aey horse, mule, jack, Jenny, hog, sheep, bull, COW, steer, geese, or cattle or stock of any kind, or for any goat 10 run either at large or to be led or driven in the public streets of the city"
 Now If it is the sense of the ordi- rance as passed and as it reads, that it shall be unlawful for any horse, mule, etc, to be led or driven in the public streets, of the city, ; what are we gong to do? We'll no doubt have to adopt streets that are not considered public for the driving of horses, and ca the streets coa. sidered public run an automobile.

Reading in Red

Reading in bed used to be objected to in the old days on the score of danger, and one of the first injunctions of a hostess to her guest was in refer ence to that prevalent but disquieting practice But in these days, when electric light has removed the risk of fire, the question is one solely of it's benefit or harm to the prospective sleeper The Medical Press and Cir cular is of the opinion that short course of some standard author may act as composing sedative, but works which contain extremes of wit, melo- drama, comedy, tragedy or philosophy should be avoided Like good sup per, the reading should be neither too heavy nor too stimulating. On the other hand, most physicians are of the opinion that bed should be kept as much as possible for sleep. A habit of reading before putting out the light and closing ones eyes is apt to grow and become a tyranny, and like drugs. the more you indulge in it the longer has the reading to be to have the de- sired effect. It must be admitted, however, that the habit. to all but those fortunate beings who are asleep the moment their head touches the pillow, is very seductive, and that 9 good many peoples most serious read. ing is done at that time.-London Tele- graDh
