SOME SAN FRANCISCO STORIES.
A Sailors Shot.

Occasionally there are published ac- counts of policemen pursuing and shooting at fleeing criminals, but it is not often that there is a record of such successful aim as that of John Coulter who was a member of the police force in the latter part of the fifties. Coul- ter was a bluff old fellow who had seen many days on board ship and un- derstOOd more about ropes and sails than he did about target practice. yet he made a remarkable record while on the force.
 Early one morning, while under the shadow of some trees on the Battery street side of the post office, he saw three men breaking into a store at the corner of Battery and Jackson. As soon as he had satisfied himself that a burglary was being committed, he crept up on the men revolver in hand, and commanded them to surrender. The men did not surrender but started off on dead run in three different directions, one going north on Battery street and the two others running ono up and the other down Jackson street. Coulter immediately fired, first at the one on Battery street. then at the one up Jackson street and then at the one running down that street. Each shot was followed by an exclamation Of pain. Before assistance arrived Coul- ter investigated. One went to the morgue, the other two to the prison hospital and Coulter was the police hero of the time. The dead burglar proved to be one Morris a brother of "Tipperary Bill" who was under the ban of the vigilance committee of '56.

WIDE BELT IS DECIDEDLY IN.
The Latest Comes in Kide Suede, Ma
 rocco and and Satin.

rocco ana ana Sattn-
 The belt question is one that worries women from season to season and from day to day. A belt is so essential to a shirt waist, yet so difficult to manage. IT narrow. it must not be too marrow to SC ever the skirt band, and if wide it must not be wide enough to disfigure the waist line.
 The narrow belts are very becoming ly made of patent leather and of rough co!ored leather: they come in red. or green or white These belts are very neat with the tailored waists. and have the marvellous advantage of being easy to adjust and they wear well also
 But it is the wide belt which is de- cidedly "in.' and this comes in kid. in suede. in soft morocco and in satin. The belt may be full finger depth in width. and it can be a little wider if one prefers. There is no buckle used in the back. but the front is fastened with a bis barness buckle.
 She who wishes to give a pretty Christmas gift can. select one of the new buckles and slides which come in sets. The slide. which is six inches long and not more than two inches in width. is arranged upon the belt so that it curves around the back. The buckle is fastened in the middle of the front.
 The woman who wants to be fashion able upon little. and who cannot even afford the wide satin ribbons that come for beltinE. can make herself a crush belt by cutting up an old moire skirt or waist. Let it be doubled. stitched upon both edges, and. if possible. let it be made on the bias. It need not be shaped. for it will adjust itself to the figure. It should be four inches wide at least and it should be crushed down to the shape of the waist.
 Those who make these belts at home will be more successful if they take heed to a few small items. One of these is that it is best to adjust the buckle after the belt is on. Arrange the belt around the waist. slip the buckle. in place. hook it. and then tighten if properly. A natural dip will be secured thus which would not be possible were the buckle sewed on before the belt had been shaped to the figure.

THE REAL CAUSE.
The Ancient Scalp Fever Theory Ex-
 ploded.


 ploded.
 At one time dandruff was attributed 10 a feverish condition of the scalp which threw off dried cuticle in scales. Professor Unna. Hamburg. Ger many. noted authority on skin dis eases. explodes this theory and says that dandruff is germ disease.
 This germ is really responsible for the dandruff and for so many bald heads. It can be cured if it is gone about in the right way. The right wag of course, and the only way. is to kill the germ.
 Newbro's Herpicide does this. and permits the hair to grow luxuriantly, just as nature intended it should.
