HER GLORY" ARTIFICIAL.
How the woman with the Lovely IIcao
of Hair" Was Exposed.

Va ~ "ho IAloSN"'
Minneapolis Journal: In the Eighth
ward lives a woman regarded by her
neighbors as clever. AS the list of ad-
miring n%eighbors includes women as
well as men. the opinion goes above
par.
For several years she has been known
at all OF the society events in her part
OF the city as the woman with the
lovely hair" 1t went without saying
that each hair hung by it's own tiny
root, and for that reason the luxuriant
coil was all the more admired.
One afternoon not long ago she gave
a tally-ho party. the drive being around
the Calhoun boulevard. The branches
hang so low in summer at sundry spots
around the drive that the millinery of
the tally-ho crowd was troubled, so
on the afternoon above referred to hats
were ordered off. But the coach passed
under one branch unusually low. Low
bridge was called, but the woman
with the lovely hair, who was in the
rea seat. failed to low bridge"
enough. She felt the terrible grip OF
the twigs in her hair, a pull, another,
81 WrenChing of locks, and as her hand
instinctively went to the help of her
hair she turned around. A horrible
sight met her eye There hung her
lovely hair from that merciless bough.
bul the ldlly-nO kept on gong. she
adjusted her hat and grew philosoph-
zeal. None Of the party knew it. She
would wait until she got home. and
then send Johnny after the Switch"
This she did, and was congratulating
herself on the fact that her loss had
not been detected, when Johnny "let
the cat 60 one afternoon when there
was company" at the house.
Mamma said no when Johnny asked
to GO fishing, and Johnny startled the
crowd with:
"When your switch a hanging to
the tree at Lake Calhoun, you didn't
use me this way"
1t was all out. Johnny a told
enough to make it necessary to tell
more, so the clever woman, at another
party given the tally-ho crowd a few
days ago. presented each one with a
cleverly Illustrated souvenir describing
the loss and the rescue of the switch.
and that lovely head OF hair" Is even
more popular now than before the
catastrophe.

THE ERA OF ABsALOM.
The Great Demand Now for Young Men
of Training and OF Natural Ability.

Scientific American: The present il
eSSentially-in America at least-the
day OF the young man. He is in de-
mand. II he be mentally well equipped,
and have character and common sense
to back his knowledge, he will find that
there are opportunities open to him,
often on the very threshold Of his bust
ness career, such as the young man Of
an earlier day would dream of as the
goal only of long years of waiting and
working.
During a recent visit to that hive Of
industry which swarms around Pitts
burg, and in the valleys Of the Monon-
gahela and Allegheny, we were I'M
pressed with the fact that in most OF
the great manufacturing establish
mcnts the highest positions of RESPONSE
bility were filled by men who were yet
several years on this side of the prime
of life. That such young heads should
so often be directing vast Industrial
concerns, is due in part to the amazing
rapidity with which new Industries
have sprung up during the past decade,
and in part to the fact that the keen
competition of the age calls for the
adaptiveness and energy which are the
natural qualities Of youth.
Time was when there was an over
plus, especially In the technical trades
and professions, of the supply Of quail
if1ed young men, put To-Day conditions
are entirely reversed. Clear proof of
this was shown at the recent annual
commencement exercises Of the Steven
Institute Of Technology at Hoboken,
when out of forty GRADUATES only D.
dozen were present to receive their d.
plomas. This unprecedented condition
of things was explained by President
Morton on the ground that the demand
for graduates to fill business positions
this year had been the most urgent in
the history Of the institute, and most Of
the absentees had been induced to leave
the institute a weeSi or more before
commencement, in order tina they
might begin their professional duties at
once. President Morton further stated
that the whole Of the forty graduates
could have secured positions at once
II they had so desired. There is no
gainsaying the significance OF such
facts as these, and as like conditions
will produce like results, 1t is probable
that, before many years have elapsed,
these young graduates will have risen
to positions which are both responsible
and remunerative.

A Kitten Blocked the way.

Philadelphia Press: Motorman Casey
OF the Union Traction company was
held up and defied by n small kitten
the other morning. Incidentally traffic
was delayed for twenty minutes and
many passengers were provoked.
Casey was a trifle late and was try
ing to make up lost time. He stopped
to take on a few additional passengers.
When they were aboard his conductor
gave him the bell' and wondered why
the car did not start. He went out
on the front platform and found Casey
kneeling on the ground making frantic
sweeps with his switch rod at some
thing beneath the front wheels.
What's wrong?" he asked.
IT'S a kitten replied Casey.
The small intruder was comfortably
perched upon a brake shoe and resisted
all efforts to o a her forth. Finally
Casey bribed a youngster TO crawl / N

The statement was made in the pur.

be imagined, did words fall with more
stunning force. Not one OF us an
swered, or, / believe, moved so much as
a limb or an eyelid. We only stared,
wanting time to take in the astonishing
meaning of the words, and then more
time to think what they meant to us in
particular.
Louis de Pavannes' wife! Louis de
Pavannes married.! If the statement
were true-and we could not doubt,
looking in her face, that at least she
thought h was telling the truth-it
meant that we a been fooled indeed!
That we had had this journey for moth
Ing, and run this risk for a villain.
1t meant that the Louis de Pavannes
who had won our boyish admiration
was the meanest, the vilest of court
gallants. That Mile. de Caylus had
been has sport and plaything. And
that we in trying to be beforehand
with Beers had been striving to save
a scoundrel from his due. 1t meant all
that as soon as we grasped il in the
least.
