HAIR WORN DE-COL-I-TAY.

AS the years keep pilng on us, yet we
claim that We are young
And the term "old man. Indignantly
resent!
We are active in our motions and arc
frisky with the tongue.
And a lot of time before the glass Is
spent.
We may think the tricks of toilet make
us look like youngish men.
Preparations to prevent us turning
gray,
But the cat jumps from the burlap add
the truths apparent when
We begin to wear our hair de col-i-tay.
We may win admiring glances and per-
chance a friendly smile
From the fair ones whose attention we
would court;
They may fail to note our ages as they
contemplate cur style,
And may think us young enough for
flirting sport.
But they have no sweet enticements in
their store for aged men
When the signs of age they cannot
hide away,
And they turn us down instanter with
their arctic glances when
We begin to wear our hair de -col-itay!
There is not the least attraction in a
nude and CHASTITY head.
Though tits polished till it shines with
brilliant sheen.
Not smile is wasted on it, save the ones
so freely shed
Ger the footiish,s by the comic op'ra
queen.
''ris an exhibition fruitful for the pun
ster's pointed pen
That exudes it's sap of fun day af,.r
day
@. they have no heart of mercy for the
aging fellow when
He begins to wear his hair de-col-i-tay =
We may hide the pale exposure UNDER
meath flowing wig.
But the hairy fake will never, never
win,
For the charming ones soon tumble to
the artificial rig
And salute it with a cold, disdainfu.
grin.
All TIE arts of gross deception canrot
give us youth again.
| To our fate we can but bow in graceful
way,
For there's surely no escape from being
ranked as has beens' when

Peculiar Accidents.

Two peculiar accidents recently oc-
CURED in Montana. Near Chestnut Gal
latin county, Henery H. Merrick, =
year-old boy, was driving chickens out
of granary when one of the fowls flew
against gun. knocking it from a rack.
When it struck the floor it was dis
charged, the contents striking the boy,
killing him instantly. Near Red Lodge,
Emil Erickson was out hunting. Stop
ping. he rested the butt of his gun on
the ground and placed his hand over the
muzzle. His dog in play leaped upon
the gun, one of it's paws sliding down
The barrel. striking the hammer and Dis
charging the weapon. Mr.. Ercksons
hand was badly lacerated and his face
mutilated by the charge. The peculiar
ity of these accidents warrant their
being placed in your scrap book among
peculiar things.-MissOulian.

AT a conference of the Committee on
Manufactures and Liberal Arts of the
Worlds Fair, Acting PresidSrt Samuel NJ.
Kennard, and Director of Works Isaac S.
Taylor, at Worlds Fair headquarters yes
terday afternoon. 1t was decided to increase
the space allotment of the Manufactures
and Liberal Arts department by two addi-
tional buildings. The dimensions OF each
OF these structures is to be 7i0x02a feet each.
This new arrangement will add something
more than eighteen acres 10 the exhibit
space of the department. making Its total
area about 42.S acres. which is 1875 acres
more than was occupied by the same de-
partment at the Chicago Columbian Exposf-
.ion. Members of the committee are we'll
pleased with the plan. and believe that they
can make full exhibit in their buildings.
The new buildings will he contiguous TO
the original buildings, assigned to manu-
factures and liberal arts. 1t was explained
by Mr.. Taylor that In the general scheme
of the grounds and buildings no structure
would be SO large as to overshadow its
neighbors or detract from their artistic eff
feet.
Numerous other reasons were assigned
for dividing the exhibit of the department,
among them the enormous insurance rate
which would be required for an extremely
large building containing fine displays. and
the necessity Of placing the manufactures
and liberal arts centrally and still keeping
the harmony of the general plan.
PROCESSES AND PRODUCTS
TO BE SHOWN SEPARATELY.
The purpose of the committee is to show
processes of manufacture. as well as prod
ucts Certain varieties Of processes are OF
such a nature that it would be Impractical
bic to place them side by side with actual
displays. One of the buildings will be de-
voted to machinery. such as printing press
es. stamping machines. and the like.
