THE NEWEST FAD.
rs the aFace Book,,' Which Takes the Place of the OId-Time
 Album.

Quite the latest idea is to have face book. Instead of the old-style album, collection of drawing paper sheets are bound together, and the friends of the book owner are expected to do the rest, says the Washington Star. A book sometimes made of heavy, coarse white linen, and is a desirable and durable style, with the cover of brilliant crimson, deep blue or yellow linen. If a clever sketch drawn in black is put on it, 50 much the better. Here are lines that may be written in fancy letters below the sketch:
 s"Tis a face book rare,
 And, friends, dare,
 To trace it's pages o'er:
 With what is in
 Their minds to linn,
 However it may be bore"
 It is the proper caper to introduce the book at five o'clock teas and Sun day evening suppers. In it each guest is asked to draw head of some sort girl, man, child or animal. It does not in the least matter if they cannot draw at all. They must do their best, or worst. Usually the worst is very de- sirable, because it makes a laugh. The amateur artists must sign their names or write lines descriptive of their eff forts. The protests against thus com hitting themselves are sometimes loud and deep. No attention should be paid to them.
 The most amusing pages in the face book are apt to be the ones in which detached human features are drawn. For instance, there may be a nose done by one friend and an ear by another, just the tip end of the dimpled chin by third or the sketch of hand. It is a good plan to have the pages with these odds and ends of features sketched in without autographs. A good line at the head of the page would be: By their works ye shall know them" These are the guessing leaves of the face book, and many jolly hour may be passed by visitors who try to guess the names of the artists. Some women insist that musical friends shall express a sentiment by means of a bar of music. The selection of the bar is made from a popular song, and the first word of the line is written over the initial note, while the last one ap- pears above the closing one. This helps out the guesses who cannot read music, but who is familiar with the songs of the day. Other face book own CTS, with original TT IS, insist that only flowers or pig Or trees be drawn on the pages. A glance at some of these makes one wonder to see how little form in flowers is appreciated. Color appears to be thechief point that appeals to the average eye, and form to little or no place at all in it.
 The face book need never be com plete, for each evening, that woman entertains a fresh leaf may be added.

FLOWS ONLY IN NOVEMBER,
oil We'll in Kentucky That spouts Only Once Each Year Is Il Puzzle
 to oil Men.

There is an old oil we'll near Payne greek, six miles from Barboursville, Ky, which is puzzle to the oil men of the country. The we'll, which is now In the middle of the creek, flows regu- larly every November, but never at any other time of the year. During this month it flows at intervals, dis charging great streams of oil, gas and salt water, and suddenly stops to flow no more until November comes around again.
 This strange we'll was drilled in 1s40, on the bank near Payne Creek, by old settlers, who were after salt water, from which to obtain their salt. The machinery used at that date was of the crudcst nature, yet the drillers sue ceeded in getting down 450 feet, when, to their astonishment and dismay, they struck an immense stream of oil which flowed for days and weeks.
 In the course of time the bed of the creek changed, until, at this day, it flows over the top of the old well. Since then during every November the water over and around the hole boils up through the force of escaping gas. As far back as the people in the neighborhood can recollect the well has made these annual eruptions. This year the disturbance came somewhat earlier than usual, attracting more than ordinary attention, owing, doubt less, to the fact that oil men are oper-
 ating in that section of the country. At
 times during the recent eruption wa ter and oil have been thrown up fully 50 feet

 VaIuc of n Mummy.

Some time ago the owner of . Peruvian mummy which had been injured on the railway claimed S2,o0o damages from the company, and q serious question arose as to the mar ket value of a Peruvian mummy. The question should have been set tied by the recent sale at auction in London of six Peruvian mummies. The catalogue contained practical and almost unfeeling directions. For example,: Mummy, found in the ruins of the Chimus of Trugella. wrapped up ms found; to open put upright and unscrew the front."-Chi- cago Daily News.

EVERY WOMAN

longs for beauty. If Nature has endowed her with a bonny pleasing face she is fortunate woman. But no matter how well formed the features may be, unless the skin is. clear and the complexion good, beauty loses it's charm. The complexion depends on the health, if the health is bad the complexion suffers. No remedy has been found to equal BEECHAM'S s PILLS for regulating the general health. They purify the blood, strengthen and invigorate the digestive organs, give tone and vim to the nerves, and put the whole body in thorough healthy condi- tion. Every woman should keep box of Beecham's Pills handy, and on the first sign of any derangement of the system, dose should be taken and further trouble and anxiety will be averted.

1t is a relief to the regular pa,
irons of the theatre to witness a
play different from the rough farce
comedies or the strictly sensational
melodramas which have acquired
such a prominent place in the field
of theatrical attractions in the past
few seasons. Tn Offering "Along
the Wabash" which Manager ia
cobs has secured for Sunday, Nov.
S0th, play of an entirely different
nature will be produced. The plot,
scenery and characters involved in
the production Of "Along the Wa
bash" are SO constructed with re-
gard to naturalness, which greatly
accounts for the success which this
play has attained. A carefully So
lected company gives to the min
utest detail a production of a high
class. The play is written in four
acts. There is not u dull moment
during the action of it, as an inter
esting plot and suitable specialties
form lively interest from the start
to the finish of the drama. This
company will perform at Sandoz
Opera House on Sunday, Nov. so.

For White Primaries.

The Gazette is a firm believer
in the white primary method Of
making nominations for all Offices
from Governor down to constable.
We are no new convert to that
plan, but have been advocating it
for the past few years. Through
white primaries alone can the rank
and file of the party have an equal
voice with the political bosses in
naming the personnel Of the ticket
It is an undeniable fact that in a
nominating convention only a few
men dominate the body. La ad-
vance they arrange a slate, and in
q way the delegates merely meet
in convention and endorse it, and
then the Democratic masses are
expected to rally to the support
of the ticket put forth by few
politicians.
We propose to do all IN our
power for the success Of the white.
