To Schuyler Colfax, then Speaker or

the Presidents party left the White

curious reluctance to going, but stated
that the papers had advertised that him

STIFF HATS CAUSE BADNESS.

that of the soft hat would make the lat

The old cavaliers wore great soft hats
and their hair was. always long and lux
urant. Women wear their hats nigh on
the crown OF their heads and they arc
seldom bald. Women wear no hats that
bind the scalp and they are not troubled
with their hair. Primitive man did not
wear hat. His hair grew long and thick
Nature gave il to him as a protection from

there are IN fresh waters too frequently

Another beauty in salmon angling IS,
that he defies the pot fisherman. Every
real angler aims always TO catch his flsh
