Doctors have very much less latitude
in the matter of facial decoration than
men of any other profession because it
seems to be taken as a settled fact that
they must wear only boards.
81 happen to have great many doe
tors under my care" said the barber
whose name is known to more New
Workers than any other, "and all Of
them excepting two wear boards. These
two are both over 80, and they allow
themselves the luxury Of gray mus
taches. Most of the others are men
between 30 and 40, and l don't believe
there is one Of them who wears beard
from choice. Some of them would very
much like to be smooth faced, while
others look with envy at the men able
to wear only a mustache. They also
say that professional reasons compel
them to wear boards.
"YOuthfulness in a doctor seems tC
be more of a disadvantage than in any
other profession. One hears a great
deal of gray haired men having to dye
their hair and mustache if they wan
to find work, but it is just as true tina
men are compelled to adopt some de
vice to make them look older wheI

Guardine the ChIIaren.

The kidnapping of young Cudahy has
attracted renewed attention to this peril
of wealthy families. 1t is a form of
crime kept constantly in mind by several
residents of New York city. who take
every precautiOn to guard themselves
against such an experience. This is par
ticularly noticeable in the country houses
of two New York families.
In one of these the youthful heir to
many millions, on whose life depends
much of the familys wealth. is quar- tered
in a wing of the house. Every window
and door is barred as if the room formed
a prison and not a nursery, and one man
is always stationed about the house and
the grounds with no other duty than to
watch this child and keep him and his
nurses constantly in view To steal this
child would require the efforts of small
and very well equipped army, as all the
employees of the establishment, whether
they come directly into contact with the
youngster or not. are impressed with the
idea that nothing else is so important as
his safety.
Somewhat older are two boys who are
some day likely to inherit millions. They
are protected with almost equal thor
oughness, and one of the interesting
sights of their fathers country house is
the floor which they occupy. Every win
dow is as thoroughly barred as if pre-
cautions were taken to keep desperate
] characters inside the house rather thar

The other morning a gentleman with
white beard, closely cropped. and quite
an aldermanic girth walked down Penn
sylvania avenue to the capitol. On the
way he stepped into a shop kept by John
Denham to make a purchase. The shop
keeper looked at his customer closely.

When a young couple gets married

be a very nice thing if they would
get Just a plain blankboOk and enter
therein from time to time such events
in their home and family life as would
be of interest for them to look over in
after years For instance. the advent
of the little ones. the movings, visits
from friends, the important business
transactions-in fact, all the events Of
the family life fraught with either hap
piness CT sorrow which go to make
up the sun Of human living Have
entries made by grandpa and grandma.

of this record with their first childish

The Disease 1ore Prevalent than Ever and
Quite as Fatal. The Best Treatment.
The grip has surprised the doc
tors and health authorities this sea
son by its rapid spread and by some
novel symptoms. While it spears
nobody it is proving especially dan
gerous to middle-aged and elderly
persons. In many cases either a
fatal onset of pneumonia, or a COM
plete breakdown of health and
strength, is apt to follow an attack
of grip.
The wise course for all is proven
ton. By wearing a Benson's Porus
Plaster on the chest and back you
protect the lungs from cold and
chill and with ordinary care) you
are safe from grip.
For those who are already suf-
fering from grip, or from the usual
winter coughs and colds, Benson S

me tell you about a few narrow escapes
that the public never knew about. 1t is
only the accidents that get in the papers.
The disaster averted is seldom heard Of.
and Of course the railroad company isn't
going to advertise it.

WHY HE MOVES TO TOWN.

The average farmer wants to move
to the town as soon as he can see his
way clear to live off from the farm.
Why? Because he can thereby afford
his children better educational advan-
tages; because he has grown tired of
milking the cows; because he is both
cred about hired help; because he
Graves what he thinks are the greater
ease and comfort of town life; because
his wife would like to have a small
place in the better developed social
life of the town; because both he and
his family may be more closely in
touch with their kfffS and all the push
and progress of the age No ore can
blame him for desiring these things
and making the attempt to improve his
surroundings. even though such a move
very often results in disappointment
to him and his. As it looks to the

House Work is Hard Work without GOLD
q So Amused the Ashantees That
n,Ier Let Ifa EnrIish Owner Go.


There has just arrived in London from
Che Gold Coast Walter L. Bennett, man
who had an experience during the Asian
ii rising which recalls Rider Haggard's
story of liking SOlomon's Mines" and the
magic eyeglass of Captain Good.
Mr.. Bennett is a land surveyor by pro-
fession, and in May of this year was at
Bibianiha, a place on the boundary be-
tween Sefwi and Ashantee, two and a
half days to the west of Kumassi.
The only white man near him was
young mining prospectOr at Akrokerri,
mining camp.
| These two Englishmen, far apart and
! yet feeling themselves to be neighbors,
learned of the Ashanti rising by the
wholesale desertion Of their black men.
The mining prospector went to Eheahin
for protection. 1t was promised him by
the chief of the village who gave him a
bountiful meal of chicken. When din
ner was over. the villagers rushed in and
battered the Englishman into uncon-
seriousness. Then they cut off his head.
Mr.. Bennett heard this terrible story
as he was about to move. He was power
