His Hair Turned Black

There have been several in>ta"trs OF
a mans hair turning from white t.
black. One of the host notable perhaps
was that of an engineer in the fire de
partment of Louisville. His age was
65, and he was on duty during tre-
mendous fire for Is consecutive hours.
The spray was constantly flying from
the hose, and he became, in consequence
of the lowness of temperature of the
atmosphere, covered from head to foot
with ice. He wore skullcap and a
helmet on the top of that, SO that his
head was the warmest part of his body
and not at all exposed, though his eye
brows and whiskers became wet and
were frozen stiff. The afternoon after

for three years been white, turned per

Conditions That Will Govern.
We have a new School

lie. One that is quickly going
to win its way to the hearts
of the mothers and fathers of
the romping school young
sters of this region. 1t is the
best school shoe that we ever
saw for the money; it is the
best that anybody ever saw
for the money; it is, perhaps,
the best shoe in the world, no
matter what the price, as far
as good, honest service goes
in a shoe. We have had this
shoe made for us in two styles,
button and lace, in all the va
rious widths and sizes suitable
for both children's and youths
wear.
Now what we want is a

will appropriately express its
thorough good qualities and
its superiority, and we invite
every boy and girl attending
school in this region to offer a
suggestion for this name.
Here are the conditions of
the contest-The prizes will
be three in number:
First, $1,000 in Gold,
Second, $500 in Gold,
Third, A pair of the Shoes.
Every boy and girl attend
ing school in Springfield and
adjacent cities and towns will
be eligible to send in one
SUGGESTION.
These words, "SCHOOL
SHOE" must be used in con-
nection with the name sub
mitted in every instance.
The contest began Tuesday,
August 18TH, and will close
Monday, September 4th.
Then, the three names that
are thought best will be Sc
lected by the judges from all
submitted, and from those the
winners of first, second, and
third prizes.
Should more than one
scholar suggest the winning
name the first prize will be
divided.
The judges will be three in
number, two of which will be
selected from the stats of the
Springfield newspapers-these
will be announced later-and
the third, Mr.. George F. Far

PHANTOMS.

Whence do they GOMEZ What may their import
be-
The fitting, flashing phantoms of the mind
That half awake and half in dream we see:
That never can be captured or defnedP
They hint at something lost, something desir-
ed.
Something whose ownership would make us
glad
Perhaps at thoughts with subtle meaning
fred,
Or truths unrecognized because unclad.
They may be glints of half forgotten dreams,
They may be memories long buried deep,
That from their ashes give out fitful CLEANS
Before they sink to their long final sleep.
Perhaps electric lines from other brain
Are tapped aud flashed by crossing with our
own,
Perhaps some floating shreds or bits remain
OF former life that we somewhere have
known.
Perhaps they the signals loved ones send
Who wait our coming ON the other shore;
Too spirit full with earthly sense to blend,
To finely soft to fully pierce lifes roar.
Perhapsl Perhaps! Conjectures cannot teachl
We clutch at shadows and we grasp the air.
The mystery is aye beyond our reach
An ignis fatuus no art can snare.

, Judge Martin of the Arkansas Court
holds that a State has a right to ex-
clude foreign corporations and prohibit
them from doing business IN the State,
but cannot punish corporations nor
individuals of the penal code commit
ed in other States. According TO this
other States can prohibit corporations
created in New Jersey. Prior to 1890
a corporation organized under the laws
of New Jersey had to have an office in
this State but now nothing more than a
shingle in some lawyers office is requir'
ed and some do not have that. We be
lieve that a corporation should be re.
quired to get its charter from the STATE
in which its head office or the greater
part of its business is done.
