SAVE YOUR HAIR.
How to shampoo 1t PrOperly-How
10 Dry After Washing.

Every human being needs light and
air and cleanliness for health and life
itself, but they seem to forget, If they
ever knew, that the hair, being vital
structure, needs, like the body, light,
air and cleanliness.
Civilization is especially mindful Of
the need of cleanliness for the hair,
while apparently oblivious of its de-
mands for air and light. But, while
practicing the cleanliness to which it
Is addicted, it often pursues methods
that are fatally injurious to the scalp
and growth of hair.
Washing the hair with strong alkali
solutions-ammonia, soda and bOrax-
is highly pernicious. They leave the
hair dry and faded, produce incipient
badness and grayness of the hair.
Never wash the hair with an ordi-
nary ''cake" of soap. Not only is it in
capable of cleansing the scalp thor
oughly, but the hard soap is apt to re-
main on the hair in flakes or clogged
masses, giving it dingy appearance
and eventually rotting it,
To prepare the soap for shampoOing
select reliable soap-there are several
on the market-shave it in atoms till
you have the requisite amOunt-two or
three ounces, according to the quantity
Of the hair-and place over the fire
with enough water to cover it well and
as much soda as will fit on 10 cent
piece. Let it come to a. boil, and you
will have saponaceous compound that
makes shampooing luxury.
Rub thoroughly into the head with
the tips of the fingers, being careful to
go over every particle of the scalp and
dislodge dandruff and adherent scrof
skin scales. Rinse thoroughly in warm
water and apply more soft soap. Con-
tinue this until the suds that come
from the hair are pure and white.
Be careful to get every particle OF
soap and soapy water from the head.
Rinse thoroughly in one basin Of wa
ter after another till there Is no trace
of soap.
Then begin to dry with hot towels.
Do not dry your hair by a stove, regis
ter or heater; the hot air is too drying.
Hot towels and a fan, if you are not
susceptible to cold, are the best drying
mediums.

Swiftly rising from her rosy pillows
When the curtains Of the night are backward

And crimson glory lights the billowsf

The Day like q golden cup:
And bending by the rivers brink,
The sparkling river,
She giveth little flowers thereof to drink,
Who bless the giver.
] have seen the dawn, the Summer dawn,
Stepping from her purple cloud pavilion,
Passing softly over dewy mead and lawn,
Garlanded with azure and vermilion.
Higher and ever higher
In her flaming car she scars,
Borne on waves OF amethyst fire
Over glimmering seas and shores,
And, STOPPING from her chariot red,
Glowing and cleaning
She smiles and wakens little Curly Head
Out Of his dreaming.

Where Interests Are.

There is no question where your inter
est is, because every year, every month,
and every day Of the administration OF
William Mckinley has been an object les
son. Every man who has an insurance
on his life for the benefit Of his family,
every man who has his deposits in a saw
ings bank or loan association where he
has gathered together perhaps the saw
ings Of a lifetime, where he believes it is
safe, and it is, although that money that
he deposits in a savings bank is not there,
for they don't keep the money in their
vaults. What do they do with it? They
invest it in securities, in bonds and mort
cages, satisfying themselves that the
property behind those securities is per-
fectly good for the loan made-and it is
under all normal conditions. But sup
posing that Mr.. Bryan should be elected
God forbid. "a voice-AmenD Sup
posing he should be. Remember 1898.
Immediately capital Is withdrawn from

of these banks covering your deposit is
reduced in value. That is your property.
1t doesn't belong to the savings bank or
the life insurance company. 1t is yours,
you have put it in their custody for safe
keeping. They are doing their duty. They

have employed men of integrity and abil-

interests, and therefore l say they have

HUGO DENKENsPRUcT
Relates One Of His Experiences as Jus.
tice Of the Peace.
(By William q. Anderson.)


eyes, you are right, Jonathan, Mr..
Bryan will do good to his own party
talking about political equality, liberty
and the rights of man, for it was always
hard for his friends to make such things
work in this country among the Ameri-
can-born colored citizens. But 1t is a
little late to do any good in those States
where Mr.. Bryan will get nearly all the
votes cast. No, you are wrong, iona
than. The very many kvotations he
makes from Washington, Lincoln and
others isn't quite a case of the Devil
kvoting scripture 1t goes long way
ahead Of that and just fits the case I
am about to tell you.
During my term as justice Of the
peace in this town we had a great deal
Of trouble with tramps. They used to
get into the school houses to sleep and
at last they got so bold, school house
wasn't good enough for them. They be-
gan to profane the churches. Big Jo-
names, neighbor Smiths son, was con-
stable and he at last arrested a gang in
the Methodist church down there. He
had not much experience, you see; and a
schmart lawyer from the village was up
before me to defend them. That man
really was fine pleader; and as he knew
the Bible kvotations well, he made good
impression on the court. He said that
his friends, the defendants, went from
the school houses to the church to get
religion; and that the Lord was where
two or three were gathered together in
His name,' and SO on. Then he pulled
out the notes of a sermon which he got
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1900-10-05

from one Of the tramps and said his ell
ents were In church to have divine wor-
ship. remember the text. It was, Go
ye into all the world and preach the ges-
pei to every people, Wasn't that coz
incidence to remind me Of Bryan's pious
remarks on the same text?
THE lawyer got along SO well that
about made up my mind to kvit the pris-
oners. But the schmart young lawyer
didn't know it SO he began to 60 for big
Johannes and cross-kvestion him. Jo-
names was the only witness, you see,
and didn't have much experience. By
and by Johannes could not stand
so much fun at his expense, 30
he got mad and yelled out: THAT
may all be, Mr.. Lawyer, what you
say. You seem to know that the
notes Of the sermon you got from that
big hobo were his own notes; but know
what you don't know, and that is that
the gang you say he was preaching to
tore out Of the pulpit Bible all the book
of Genesis and Exodus, including the ten
commandments, to light their pipes with
while they listened to the sermon Then
reversed my decision, Jonathan, and
sent those fellows to the calaboose."
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1900-10-05

The one supreme test Of prosperity is
the money in the bank. This is a self
evident truth. If mans family Is well
clothed and fed and in q comfortable
home, and besides this he can put money
in the bank, it must be admitted that he
is prosperous.
In the following unparalleled showing
Of the increase in the number of deposits
from the dark days Of the Democratic
Wilson bill regime in 1894 to the glorious
days of Mckinley prosperity, the most
marvellous of oil is the increase in the
number Of depositors and in the amount
of deposits in the savings banks Of the
country. These banks are particularly
the ones where the wage earners Of the
couatry put their savings.
Mr.. Bryan says the people are not pros
porous. So say all his calamity follow
ers. We commend to them the following
official figures from the report Of the
Comptroller of the Currency Of the Unit
ed States for 1899. They are unanswer-
able:
