Only man who had the fire of genius
in his veins and the fever of such love
and the memory of the agonies of pas

of such masterpieces-said the literary
critics; what author of fame could have
written them?
Society began talking more and more
about them, says the New Yory World.
If the author is a man, he must have
lived these letters, and if a woman, did
she receive them, or did she weave them
out of her Imagination? If the latter,
how could she have understood the de-
sire and passion and heartburning which
lis so wildly portrayed?
The question was being discussed one
evening at a dinner in New York
All at the table were excited over it,
Mrs. Allen was present. At last she
laughed and said: why, don't you see
my name signed to them? 1 wrote them.
The guests gasped in astonishment,
and then laughed in unbelief.

Convincing Language.

Milwaukee Sentinel
Dan" Regain, the chief clerk of the
board of public works, told a good story
in connection with the recent campaign.
The day after election he was cengratu-
lating Judge Brace, and said:
Il see the Irishmen in the Third ward
read your name Brady and voted for you
to man."
The judge replied that the Poles in the
Fourteenth ward read his name Brazeen-
ski, and voted for him, too.
Mr.. Regain later recalled an incident
in Judge Braces earlier career There
was a big, surly son of Erin who once
told the little attorney that ne believed
his name was Brady instead of Brace.
The statement was allowed to go with
a simple denial. but the big nan Insisted
upon it. He said that he knew the name
must be Brady, because the lawyer "had
the map of Ireland on his face" and he
knew of no Irishman named Brace. The
stranger was so insistent that he became
annoying to the attorney, and the latter
finally lost his patience.
II tell you my name is Brace. and if
you say again that 1t. is Brady I'll give
you smash in the face he declared
The other man laughed Now I know
that your name is Brady he said.

1t is not the love of sense which opens
our eyes. Men have died from time to
time and worms have eaten them, but

sense, the love that makes us one with
God and unite us through Him In the

Take two needles, magnetized, and

slight current OF electricity through

love running through them, and the
earthly love never ceases.

is not to be found in early
American history more romantic char

and associations and ambitions were
more truly romantic He is the GENITAL
figure around whom he has woven what
is promised as a stirring romance which
concerns Burr's great love for his daugh-
ter, Theodosia, his visit with Hartman
BlennerhaSsett and his wife Margaret at
their beautiful island home, his plans
formulated there, his political difficult
ties with President Thomas Jefferson
and Alexander Hamilton, his duel with
Hamilton, his reception at the hands CT
Napoleon, and his so-called dream OF
empire"
Mr.. Pidgins idea of Burr is that of
a man who fought bravely to secure the
independence of the, colonies, a man wlo

"The Human Hair. ;"

"Ihe Human Hair; Its Care ard Preser-
vation." by J.. R. Ste IN. The Maple
Publishing company, New York
Mr.. Stitson has apparently given care
full study to the subject of his book, and
while it is scientific it is not technical,
but presents in the simplest manner a
lot of practical information. The author
does not recommend any proprietary or
other advertised preparation, but gives
a number of simple formulas which may
be used to advantage in preserving the
hair. The book is divided into classified
chapters and deals eXhaustively with the
subject
While nearly all the matter of the book
will be of common interest to both sexes
a chapter, devoted particularly to women
gives a number Of formulas for harmless
washes bandolines, etc. Mr.. Stitson
does not favor staining the hair, but Tor
the benefit of foolish women who do, he
deVotes chapter to reliable means and
methods of dyeing and bleaching The
dangers which attend the use of certain
substances used for those purposes are
carefully pointed out.

Give way, and she bangs into the crowd
And she knows her hat isn't on straight
And all the blood has run
Down out of her fingers, and her arm
Feels like lump Of putty
Stuck full of needles and pins,
And the man
Folds up his paper
And shows some signs
That something is going to happen
Before this time next year,

The woman takes hope
And partly relaXes her grasp
And the conductor sings out:
