Opening Of Whisker Season

is not far enough advanced for an
established style to have become APP
parent. However, st. Paul is a good
whisker town, a condition wrought by
the strenuoSity of Mr.. o. Boreas here
abouts during the winter months. 1t
need not be feared but that this city
will come to the front before another
month with a settled fashion in whisk-
ers which will reflect credit on the
town and make UP somewhat for the
passing of other kinds of foliage.
Lambrequins Will Be Popular.
From advance reports it appears
that there is to be developed here one
type Of whisker which will bear the
unique name of Carrie Nation" or
"Pinky Panky Poos." They are some
what on the order of the old-fashioned
drop-fringe on the chin which has
been alluded to by some scientific
writer's as lambrequinS.'
A perfect set is formed by allowing
the face to be clean except for long,
sad-looking tuft under each ear and
another of exactly similar size under
the chin. This latter must be grown
la DR.. Parkhurst to be success
and altogether the layout gives a per-
son very expressive take-m home
to-mother look. If they are inclined
to spread and run together and bring
10 nina the possibility that someone
has hit Chinese laundryman in the
face with sponge full of hair grower,
then they are labeled "Pinky Panky
Poos." But if they are very clearly
defined and symmetrical they are
Carrie Nations" for the reason that
nobody would wear them but the hus-
band of a very strong minded woman
or some person with gold brick de-
signs on preacher.
Transparent Prince Henrys" will
also be worn considerably from pres
ent indications and stray punches of
wild 'fne-cut" may also be looked
for. Some young men are already
making the mistake of starting I'M
perials. This is a bad breach of the
ethics of Whiskers. No man without
deeply defined crows feet next to his
eyes should have the effrontery to
sport an Imperial.
But time and the weather will tell.
With plenty of sunshine, soft Indian
summer breezes and by religiously
taking them indoors on frosty nights
the st. Paul crop of whiskers ought
to out-whisker anything this side of
Paterson, N. ]. The style will take
care of itself

The ways of women are nowhere
more distinct from those Of men than
when she appears in court as wit
ness. In spite of unusual surround
ings, with the judge on one hand and
the jury on the other, cynosure of all
eyes, and victim of badgering counsel
nevertheless the woman who swears
to tell the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, generally manages TO
tell it in an essentially feminine fash
ion.
And yet women commonly make
good witnesses. This is the testimony
Of venerable judges and expert trial
lawyers, whose years of experience
have brought them knowledge of all
classes of witnesses. 1t is conceded
that they tell a better story upon the
stand than do their brothers. Their
love of detail, their imagination aud
strong feeling, their anxiety to be De
lieved, all these contribute to the effect
Of their testimony, which doubtless
gains additional weight with the men
in the jury box when the witness is
womanly, attractive and modest in
bearing. Other things being equal, the
lawyer of experience would often pre-
fer to present his evidence from the
lips of a woman.
This does not mean, however, Ihat
women are more truthful witnesses
than men. Conceding their general de-
sire to tell only the truth, and that
their intentions in this regard may be
better than those of the average
male witness, every lawyer who has
got his training in the courts is wont
to Subject the testimony of women to
severe scrutiny. He recognizes their
liability to bias, their dependence upon
intuition and feeling rather than rea-
son, their tendency to believe that to
be so which they think ought to be so.
And when resourceful, self-possessed
woman is deliberately giving false tes-
timony, the skilled lawyer finds in her
the most dangerous witness known to
the courts.

More Truthful Than Men.
Judge Charles E. Otis. of the district
court, says that women, as a rule, are
more truthful than men, and that this
virtue is generally seen in their testi-
mony, although here many allowances
must be made.
ct is difficult task many times for
the court and attorneys to restrain a
woman witness, when she has story
that she wants to tell said the Judge.
''She will insist on introducing her
own ideas Of the merits of the case,
and will defy all admonitions of the
bench to confine her answers to the
questions asked. One of the hardest
things a judge has to do on trial is
to keep a woman that wants to talk
from quoting what Mrs. Jones thought
about it, and what Parson White said
he saw when he arrived at the scene of
action, and how badly the defendant
behaved, according to what the neigh
bors said.

No Idea of Distance.
when women witnesses come to de-
scribe matters Of measurement and
distance, they become simply laugh
able. They seldom risk a statement
as to the number of feet or inches, but
use their hands, or say 1t was as far as
from the witness chair to the table on
the other side of the room, or some
thing Of that sort. I recall one wit
ness who was very positive as to the
height of certain smokestack. She
