firm having received a car load of very
fine ones.
The Tuesday election was a very quiet
one bi:G little tedious, for many voters
were not satisfied with cross in the up

was the largest poll given in this pre-
cinct for many years.
A few select young folks were enter

endearing, but-well just ask G. B. how

But it will be remembered, especially by
these young people, that the weather
clerk that same night treated US to a rain

MODES OF HAIRDREsSING.
The Low Coil and the FIattened
Pompadour Are Both just Now
Favor.

The fashions in hair dressing are
varied between the two extremes and
the decision as to which is the mos
becoming usually settles the style of
coiffure, says the New York sun
The low coil which falls the neck
is intended especially for full evening
dress and is not at all desirable with
high gowns, it soon ruins the col
lars For day wear with a hat, the
figure eight twisted at the back of the
collar, is popular style 1t extends
the head, but the length is a matter
of taste entirely.
The front parting IS very much worn,
but the pompadour fattened some
what on the top of the head is quite
as popular when it IS most becoming,
the full, puffy effect at the sides be-
ing UNIVERSAL whatever else you may
do to your hair 1t seems to be the
one and only arbitrary rule The mill
Hnery controls this feature to great
extent, since there is no such thing
as finding becoming stylish hat un-
less your hair is pulled out at the
sides With this one exception, you
can adopt any mode TO your particu-
lar style and rest assured that your
hair is dressed in the Ia test ia shion-
With the low coil a rose and bud are
some times worn Just back Of the ear,
and the wreath of tiny flowers is also
good style Strands of pearls are
twisted in the hair with very pretty
effect and whatever your hair orna-
ment it must be fine and dainty

MILITARY ARDoR ouENcHEe.
Shy President Mckinley Dfdn,t
Make Gov. Bob Taylor, of Ten.
nessee, y Bri&adier.

Ex-Gov. Robert L. Taylor knew
William Mckinley personally They
served in the Forty-siNth congress to-
gether and met several times in after
years to renew their acquaintance
and to forge the ties of friendship.
When the president shot Mr..
Taylor was personally grieved- No
higher eulogy was ever passed a
man than. that which 1.-The merry gov
ernor' of Tennessee passed upon his
dead friend, says the Knoxville Sem
tineI.
The other night Gov. Taylor was
telling a party of friends amusing
incident which occurred at one point
where his career and that of the dead
president touched.
.'I served in the Forty-sixth con-
gress with Mai. Mckinley said the
governor, <tand knew him very well.
Later I met him and renewed
our friendship at the Tennessee cen-
of the state.
..When the Spanish-American war
broke out there was so much beating
of drums and marching of soldiers
that / became imbued with the mill
tary spirit. Tt grew on me as the
war progressed, and I finally came to
the conclusion that I a born sol
der, military genius, leader So
when President Mckinley announced
that he would appoint several brig
singled out for of them. I
consulted with some of my friends,
and they thought the president must
be limiting me to come to the front
and get some shoulder straps
could hear the drums and see Old
Glory floating everywhere, and I was
wild to be a soldier and ride a sp1en-
did horse over the bloody ground
SAT last I could stand it no longer.
I went to Washington to the
president. He at once agreed to an
audience with me- / was ashamed
to think I had not come sooner to
offer my services to the country in
peril afraid the president
would not like 1t. But don't think
ever better pleased man in
my life, and I have seen some few fel.
lows in capital good humor in my
time.
.sSuch a cordial grasp of the hand
and such kindly reception I don't
think I ever had from a man that
did not want office from
thought he had OWNED my intentions
and delighted to know I had
come out to serve my country in my
natural ca pacity-war. He must have
noticed my military appearance, but
there nothing stiff formal in
his reception He met me just like
the cheerful boy he rs years be-
fore in congress But it did not
break through my military dignity.
AS soon as L entered the room i
reared back and assumed a military
air that would have Jared the
iron duke
81 don't suppose anyone thought
Mckinley a great actor, but I think
he was the greatest ] ever mot.
was not long in telling him I wanted
to be made brigadier general, so
that I could lead my brave and loyal

put his hand my shoulder like a
father and said, in voice of great
est solicitations:
"tGovernor, I'm afraid you might
get killed.
sWe both laughed, and my military
spirit was gone"
