A park on the site of Chinatown

Cooper and Hartwell, nice little

Another case has arisen which
proves the grave danger and injustice
of convicting and hanging persons
on circumstantial evidence. Some
twelve years ago man named Rose
was hanged at Redwood Falls,
MINI, for the murder of Moses
Lufkins who objected to Rose pay
ing attention to his daughter, Grace.
Rose affirmed his innocence and
charged man named Slower with
the crime, and now on his death bed
Slower has confessed the crime and
indicated the judicially, murdered
man. Courts and juries cannot be too
careful with circumstantial evidence,
and while occasionally it may be for
the benefit of the world at large to
remove man on general principles,
if he be a scoundrel, guilty or not
guilty, it is neither law nor Justice

CONCERNING THE HAIR.

The encyclopedias regard hair fall
ing below the feet of women as extraor-
binary.
Several years ago Miss Z. J. Written,
Topsham, Me-, was said to have hair
eight feet in length.
Marie Antoinette wore a pompadour
and rolls thrown back past her ears.
Queen Anne wore side curls.
A hair is a succession of cylindrical
or elliptical horny cells. Curly or
Anky hair is due to sudden breaks"
in the regularity of the cellular success
sion.
Samson's strength was attributed to
his long hair, and his fate is charged
up to Delilah's shears. Absalom's
wealth of tresses was the cause Of his
own death.
In Egypt long hair was considered an
encumbrance. IL was n feature of
beauty among the Hebrews and
Greeks. Roman ladies used artificial
hair aud set the pace for future Golf
feurs.
Peasant girls in the south of France
cultivate and sell their hair as a regular
business practice. Traders who at
tend the fairs purposely to traffic in
tresses frequently find hair five feet in
length, but hair six feet long is very
scarce.-San Francisco Examiner.
