Don'ts.

Don't Judge a man by his nose;
perhaps it is only sunburned.
Don't think you can offend justice
of the peace by calling him judge.
Don't imagine you can make soft
pillows of feathers from Cupid's wings.
Don't wait until the good things OF
life get by before looking after them.
Don't think the man who is always
on the run wins the most of life's
races.
Don't attempt to determine the
gender of your chickens before they
are Matched.
Don't envy the man with wonder
full memory; he remembers much that
he'd rather forget.
Don't think woman will ever dis
cover that she is beautiful if she waits
until some other woman tells her. -

The Hair Restorer Agents Encounter
With a Bald Headed Man.

Tho Hair Restorer Agents Encounter
With a Bald-HeadeG Man.
"No." the man said, 81 do not want
a hair restorer.
The agent smiled genially. 1t was
his beast that he never lost sale.
He sat down and took bottle of the
restorer out of his bag. 'This has
made more handsome men, "he began,
then interrupted himself. "You must
have been unusually good-looking
when you had your hair" He spoke
critically, without q trace OF vulgar
fattery.
"On the contrary" the bald-headed
man asserted positively, sit is more
Incoming to me to be bald. L was

"With men, yes" the agent adj
mitted, indulgently. "Of course,
when they can see mans bare skull
and make sure of the confines OF his

Besides, they know man who mas

to make up to him for it. But was

I've been bald. I've been married
twice: and I shouldn't mind giving
YOU odds that I could get the original
woman who refused me, for number
three, it the opportunity ever de-

The hair-restorer agent began to
look little tagged, but he continued
pamely: "There's one other point
that I'm sure will appeal to man like
you. Hair acts as cover and pro
lection to the head, and the brains

The Riot of the Elements on Fair islands
The most disastrous hurricane ever

the island Of st. Lucia, the largest and
most picturesque in the group. in ad-

tremendous rains, was injured by nu-
merous landslides; and the island OF
Barbados, the most windward OF the

DONE BY THE STORM.
Man and Horse Killed in
Bayonne-- Wind Played
Some Queer Franks.

Some bad accidents in this city and
Bayonne resulted from the severe storm
yesterday. The shower last night in some
sections was accompanied with a fierce
wind storm. This was felt principally
out at West End. For while it looked
like regular: sand storm. In st. James
avenue shingles were blown from a num-
Der of houses,
A Hebrew peddler in Tonnele avenue
was caught in regular whirl wind. He
had tray of collar buttons, cuff links,
ETC., strapped to his neck. From the
tray was suspended at full length bunch
of shoe laces. The tray was torn from
the strap and blown almost a block
away, the contents being scattered in
an open lot.
The shoe laces were swished around the
peddler's neck in such a manner as to,
almost strangle him. They became de-
tached as the tray was wrenched from
the strap which supported it from the
Hebrews neck.
The Marion clothes on lines were de-
tached from posts and were sent whirl-
ing blocks away over houses. Some were
deposited on the car tracks of that vicin-
ity. A man named Creighton, walking
east on West Newark avenue, was lifted
from his feet and blown violently against
coal yard fence. He was not badly
injured. He jumped on the next trolley
car.
Lightning struck the flag pole on top
of F. G. Otto & Sons surgical instru-
ment factory, Nos A and 46 Sherman
avenue. The pole was scorched and
splintered and some damage was done to
the roof of the building.
The rain brought out the leaves on
the trees. Where buds had been yester-
day. bright green leaves were seen this
morning. The parks are beginning to
look springlike
The wind and lighting did considerable
damage yesterday afternoon in Bayonne,
both to property and lives A team Of
horses owned by Frederick Bender, of No.
81 West Thirty-ninth street, and driven
by George Toel, became frightened by the
lighting and ran away throwing the driver
to the ground, directly in front of the
wheels of the large truck which passed
over his chest, killing him instantly
A large brown horse, owned by Market
man George w. Schmidt, of Twenty-sec-
ond and John street, was killed by a
stroke of lightning In its stall, without
the building being damaged.
At Fifty-fourth street and the Boule-
ward a large number of hot beds were
struck by the lightning and set on fire
The blaze was extinguished by the fire
