sRecoIIections of a Lifetime"

"RecoIleetions of a Lifetime" by Gen

In this stout volume a man who has

stirring century of all the ages, and who
Fan say of It's events with Aeneas-"Quo-

recollections with Photographic accuracy,
and has produced a book of permanent
value.
The man who would study fifty or a
hundred years from now the Influences
which moved America during the period
OF its rise to greatness could find no bet
ter source of information than those
pen pictures of men and events. Gen.
Brinkerhon represents in himself the
substantial qualities which have charac-
terized the higher forms of American
life. His father used to say Of their
Dutch-French ancestors: ''They were not
very famous or very rich but they loved
God and their country These are the
men who are the strong fiber Of a civil
ization.
Like many another prominent figure in
our public life, the young Brinkerhoff
began life as a school teacher, and he
brought fresh power of observation to
the new life which he found in Tennes-
see as the tutor in the family of Gen
Jackson. Some of his notes on the con-

PASSING OF THE PoMPADoUR.

The hairdressers seem to believe that
the pompadour is tottering to it's fall.
The justification for this way of thinking
lies in the irrefutabe fact that great
many women who are zealously mindful
of their good looks and reputation for
taste are appearing in The evening with
their locks combed low. Not. indeed, in
a Bangtry club. which at best was an
unbecoming and uncomfortable couture
but arranged in two full globe like rolls
pinned below the crown and above the
nape. and decorated with little short
tcothed, pearl crown combs thrust in at
the base of every fold. This does not
prevent the soft waving OF the front Of
the hair. but such an arrangement would
appear simply foolish with n Classic
pompaaour. and the front hair is softly
combed back without a central part.
Those whose faces are too broad to ac-
cept this arrangement kindly are never

the brow and placing the puffs and bands
Just on the crown, as a base upon which

which women of scant and abundant

One Of the most uniqre weddings on
record occurred few days ago, when
the Messrs. Crabbe, OF Columbus. O..
were married to the Misses Dotson.
Both brides and bridegrooms are twins
The twin brothers are so nearly alike In
every respect that even their mother can
scarcely tell them apart, and the brides
resemble each other as closely as their
husbands.
Both the brides and grooms' birthdays
occur on the same date OF the month,
and they were welded on the anniversary
of their natal day.
When Press representative called To
interview the couples recently he was
graciously received by the young wives.
Mrs. Guy Oner Crabbe, whose Christian
name is Ardrien, seemed much amused
at the excitement their marriage with
the Crabbe brothers has caused.
Edna and I have always been insepa-
rable," she remarked, land we could not
bear the thought Of losing each other
by marriage, SO we both settled the
difficulty, or had 1t settled for us. by
loving and being loved In return by the
Crabbe brothers.
Edna and met the Messrs. Crabbe ut
an evening reception, and there a funny
thing occurred I was introduced to one
Of the brothers and my sister to the other

ed, neither saw the others partner

Some women make the mistake of tax

They may have pleasant dispositions,
but really they should try to look as

to suppose that it cannot be improved.

Notes of the Cuckoo.

The cuckoo still seems to be attracting
a good deal of attention from our read
ers; in fact, there are a number of hu-
man vocalists who would be glad to hear
so great an interest taken in their efforts
at song. One correspondent states that
nc has frequently heard an interval of a
whole tone only. which interval, we may
out no longer ago than last Sunday. Our
correspondent further states that he has
also heard intervals of a fourth and even
a fifth, adding that Sir Frederick Ouse-
ley once heard a pair of cukoos uttering
minor thirds, one singing a tone below
the other. Another correspondent sums
up the matter thus: The spring song Of
the cuckoo is changed in the summer

their cry readily, but stammer over it,
