HAIR CURLING AN ART.
Few Women Arc willing to Make Them
selves Hideous by Night.

o''' " FhS"s
In the curling of the hair there Is a
knack to be acquired before attaining
that much desired result. so dear to
every owner of straight locks-the nat
urally curly look. Even a pretty face
Is improved by the addition of curls
and a plain M Is softened and made
more attractive by turning the harsh
outline into a wavy mass; for the
faces are few that can stand the clas-
sic severity of a Grecian couture, says
the New York Herald. The question,
therefore, Is how to manage ones un-
ruly locks; how to supply, to the best
of ones ability. what nature has de-
nied-the pretty ripping tresses which
Will elicit from some good-natured ac-
quaintance the remark that she al
ways thought your hair was naturally
curly" First, there are the number
less appliances for turning ones head
into a bristling porcupine by night.
When a girl surveys herself in her
mirror before retiring and catches a
glimpse of a disfguring halo, which
even the addition of blue bows will
not render becoming, she signs re-
fiectively, considers the discomfort OF
sleeping on knobs of hair and takes
to the inevitable-the curling irons.
To obtain most satisfactory results
a tight curling is not advisable. That
destroys any possible look OF natures
handiwork-and surely straigh, locks
are preferable to 'frizzes." A very i'm
portant factor is that of curling the
hair artistically, for there can be no
illusion about a beautifully curled
pompadour while the back hair il un-
compromisingly straight. II a low style
OF coiffure is worn it is only neces-
sary to curl the front and sides, but
where the hair is dressed high It Is
most important not to neglect the back
of the head. This will at first be awk-
ward work, but will grow less difficult
with practice, and nothing is prettier
than a soft outline at the nape of the
neck.

Major General Henry w. Lawton has

was shot in the breast and died i'm
m~odiatcly.
General Lawton started for Manila
last night with cavalry under Captain
Lockett and battalions of the Twenty
fifth and Twcnty-sevcnth infantry I'M
der Lieutenant Colonel Sargent. for
the purpose of capturing san Mateo.
where Gcrnomo was said to have 900
insurgents.
General Lawton left home Monday
night, having returned from his north
ern operations Saturday, to lead an cx.
petition through Mariquina valley.
which has been an insurgent strong
hold throughout the war. The valley
had several times been invaded. but
never held by the Americans. General
tiernomo was supposed to have there
the largest organized force north of
Manila, and General Otis wished to
garrison Mariquina.
San MGtco was attacked at 8 o'clock
aud a three hours fight cnsucd. This
resulted in but few casualties on the
American side, apart from the death Of
General Lawton. but the attack was
difficult because OF the natural defense
Of the town.
General Lawton was walking along
the firing line within 300 yards of n
small sharpshooters' trench. conspicu-
Gus in the big white helmet he always
wore, and n light yellow raincoat. He
was also easily distinguishable because
of his commanding stature. The
sharpshootcrs directed several close
shots, which clipped the grass nearby.
His stan officers called General Law
tons attention to the danger lac was in,
but he only laughed with his usual con-
iempt for bullets.
Suddenly he exclaimed:
Il am shot," clenched his hands in u
desperate effort to stand erect and fell
into the hands of a staff officer.
Orderlies rushed across the field for
surgeons, who dashed up Immediately,
but their efforts were useless. The
body was taken to a clump of bushes
and laid upon n stretcher, the familiar
white helmet covering the face of the
dead general.
Almost ut this moment the cheers of
the American troopf rushing into San
Matco were mingling with the rifle
vollcys. After the fight six stalwart
cavalrymen forded the river to the
town carrying the litter on their
shoulders, the STAFF precedidg with the
colors, and n cavalry escort following.
The troops filed bare-headed through
the building where the body was laid
and many a tea fell from the eyes OF
the men who had long loved intrepid
Lawton. The staff was stricken with
grief rs though each man had ssutfcrcG
u personal loss. Owing to the condi-
ton of the country, which is impasi.
able so far as vehicles are concerned,
the remoins could not be brought to
Manila. Mrs. DAYTON and the chill
dren are living in n government resi-
dence formerly occupied by a Spanish
general.

SHOOTING WILD HORSES.
sIethod by which Maud wbitcman OF

Nevada Gets n Living.
Shooting wild horses for a living
seems odd employment, especially for
4 woman, but there is a woman in Ne
vada who earns her livelihood in just
that way. She is a Californian, too.
and a young woman, only % years Did.
Her name is Maud Whiteman. Until
she went to Nevada six years 6 her
home was on a ranch some few miles
from Fresno. Being of a sturdy and
venturesome disposition, Maud early
learned to manage horses and to feel
at home in the wilds, 80 1t happened
that when her father by some mis-
chance was forced to part with mis-
home in California his daughter was
fitted to be his helper in the rude re-
gion selected by him for a further
struggle with fate. The father, whose
name is Wilman, is an old soldier,
having served his country In both the
Mexican and civil wars. He Is a tall.
in~e-looking man of splendid physique.
He IL. however, no longer young. and
the sixty-five years that have passed
wv hihl hdNt llnilltu liz ituh'
ties for work, so he decided to Kill
wild horses for their hides. Neither
ais age nor his lack of capital him
dered effort in that direction, while
prices for hides were fairly good. and
wild mustangs were plentiful. From
the first Maud was an acl,ve partner
In this business. She is a bold rider
and IN A,n -hnt aud n hpinu dawn a
horse at a distance that would win a
sportsman's admiration. When en-
gagged in this pursuit she dresses like
4 man, donning overalls in addition to
4 flannel shirt and a mans soft hat.
The method of killing is ingenious.
Mounted on horses, the father and
daughter set out for the task. They
however, while dogs drive a small
herd of their own horses to the spring.
These serve as a decoy. Gradually
wild horses com up, mingling with
the rest. When suspicion has been
quiet the man steals near, wounding,
with a view to disabling, the leader OF
the herd. All others of the wild band
Immediately rush away, but soon they
return in quest of their leader. Now
Is the opportunity. The mounted rid
ers rush from hiding, shoot as many
as possible, and follow the fleeing VIC
Tins until all. or nearly all, are killed.
Maud is an expert at removing hides.
When her father has taken the names
and tails. which are also salable, she
strips off the hides. These are dried
by spreading them upon sagebrpsh.
placing bags or blankets between them
to admit of free access of air. At the
end of three weeks they are ready for
shipment. Sometimes as many as
seventy are thus disposed of in a
month.-San Francisco Examiner.
