The Pope is the only one in the long
line OF Sovereign Pontiffs says aIll-
bits" who has strolled down P~lccaaliiy.
He was in London for a month in the
forties' having a holiday at the close Of
his term Of office as Papal Nuncio to the
King of the Belgians. He had apartments
in what are described to Cardinal Ian

s%ubiueation the surrounding tribes, exact
ing tribute and in every way exerting their
superiority. For more than 100 years the
winnebagoes reigned supreme. They were
fearless warriors, naughty and defiant.
No power seemed great enough to break
their hold upon the tributary tribes.
From masters they became tyrants and OPP
pressors, and the inevitable came.
A grand coalition of smaller tribes was
formed against them. There was a gem
eral and p~reconcerted uprising through
the middle west. and the tributary Indians
marched against the capital of the Winnie
bago country, not far north of where Chi
cage now is, and for years a war of exter-
mination was ragged. The Winnebagoes
were cut down in the zenith of their glory,
their braves were scattered, their homes
destroyed, and their name became a by
word and a Kissing.
But, although plunged into insignif-
canoe and disgrace, they never lost their
naughty spirit, ever their strongest char
acteristic.
This was true to such an extent that
when the powerful tribe of Illinois In
dams attempted to interfere in behalf OF
their unfortunate brothers the Winneba-
goes resented 1t and refused the slightest
aid. This ingratitude so fired the Illinois
Indians that they sailed into the Winneba-
goes soon afterward and killed 500 of their
best warriors.

The very best brushes should always be
chosen, and at the very least 100 strokes a
day should be vigorously administered.
The bristles of the brush should not be so
hard as to drag the hair out in case of a
tangle o~bstructing their course, nor
should they be yielding. 1t is useless to
brush the hair unless the skin of the head
be brushed as well. The friction stimu-
lates it and makes the hair grow. Brush
ing the hair with slow and languid strokes
is simply useless. Vigor and intention are
necessary to produce a really good effect
and induce the bright, healthy gloss that
hair should have.-L.adies' Home Journal.

Chicago, Nov 14.-To break up the pres

bitrary power of walking delegates, ar
bitrators and professional organizers,
and then to invite workmen to form new
unions, that will cooperate with en-
ployers, is the plan Of campaign of Chi

first step in the campaign to destroy the
existing unions Was taken Saturday

Of the manufacturers issued letters to
their men, declaring that their action
had been forced upon them by the un-

interruption Is indicated by election day
observances.
The strength of textiles both raw and
manufactured, has been accentuated
during the week, increases being noted
in raw cotton, wool and hemp. Brad
streets approximate index number of
Nov. l showed a gain Of l percent for
the month and of IL percent as COM
pared with Jan. this year, and Is at the
highest point reported since April, 1893
The strength of textiles, leather, oils
and miscellaneous products was cal
culated to offset the weakness and ir-
regularity in metals not including iron
and steel, however, cereals and other
food products.
Raw cotton advanced early this week
on an appearance Of better buying by
foreign consumers and active domestic
demand for the manufactured product.
Realizing later impaired some Irregular
ity and even excitement to this staple.
Wool has been equally strong, though
transactions are smaller and material
gain in prices Is to be noted, while from
the manufactured goods branch come
reports of confident strength and of
probable future advances in mems wear
goods and carpets
Cereals show little or no change. The
dullness of wheat at domestic markets
finds explanation in Bradstreet's sta
tistics of worlds stocks which indicate
a gain for the month of over 1900, 900
bushels, contributed entirely from
American sources, however, as foreign
supplies showed a slight shrinkage the
United States and Canadian stocks gain
ing over 100000 bushels during Oc-
tober.
Corn is strong, largely owing to the
readiness of foreign buying at conces-
sions. Signs accumulate that shoe
manufacturers and jobbers are meeting
with success in securing recently ad-
vanced prices
