Of liquor men do strenuous things.
Some are violent. Some are gentle as

that is interesting and amusing to me.
1t is that phase which involves a fixed
purpose to do a thing which was
planned before taking the first drink.
1t IS remarkable how this purpose will

asked him to bring some ginger cakes
home, So firmly was this purpose fixed
in the fond fathers mind that he
bought about 90 pounds of ginger cakes
before he got home. He started by
buying a nickel's worth. Later he in
creased it until he ordered a ten-pound
box sent to his house. BY the time he
had reached home the young hopeful
had enough ginger cakes to supply n
goOd-sized community. These two cases

man can relate the same sort of story.
It is simply n of the phases of a jag,
and the jag, you know. is no. an unin-
teresting part of modern civilization

FOOTBALL PLAYER
WAS CHASED HOME.
New Brunswick Boy Said TO Have
Cleaned up Three or Four
and then Escaped.

A fight started at the football game
between a number of the New Bruins
wick team and a number of the South
Amboy team, Sunday afternoon. Re-
Brunswick did up three or four of the
South Amboy boys, after which the
New Brunswick lad started for n troll
ley car and got to the corner of Broad
way and Augusta street, when tho
same ones who were in the row be-
fore, started in again and the New
Brunswicker a into Jaqucs drug
store to got away from thom.
Soon a crowd of about 200 collected
outside of the store. Special Marshal
Grover was coming down the street,
and, thinking there was some trouble,
he went to the store and was called
in by Mr.. Jaques and asked to dispense
the crowd. He did so and returned
to the store. The crowd collected
again ut once and after Grover had
driven them away again he took the
young man and put him on q trolley
car and started him on his way to
New Brunswick.
The crowd did not appear to like
the proceeding much, but seemed to
think that Grover ought to have left
the young man to get his head broken
and SO expressed themselves along
with threats as to the future. Grover
says he proposed taking up q few of
them to a constable who stood by but
the constable said he wasn't going to
interfere so none of. the crowd were
arrested rs one man had no show
among so many. Blame should not
be attached TO Grover as he was only
doing his duty as an officer Of the law

Fer GIkL With 1AlN HAIR.
Sew Method of Arranging the Treasc
to GiTc Then Fashionable
FuIlncss.

For the girl whose hair is thin the
making Of a big, fluffy pompadour has
involved mich trouble. 1t has mean,
the wearing of u rat" which has over
heated the head and made the hair
grow ven thinner. Now there is a
new method which does away entirely
with the rat" and yet gives the fash
ionable pompadour. Instead Of divid-
ing the hair across the top Of the head,
and using part for the pompadour and
part for the back dressing, all the hail
Is now used for the poEpadour. The
first step is brushing the hair straight
back and carefully combing it, says
Woman's Home Companion.
The next step is to part the hair in
the same old way acros the top of the
head; then brush the back hair up, and
secure it with an elastic band or mar
row piece of black tape. The front Of
hair is brushed over the forehead, TO
be combined with the back hair later
on in making the pompadour.
Now divide the hair in three parts,
using the back hair for the middle
SlfdHu. lane teCn SlTtHu SepuTdtCIy,
fluff the hair with the comb on the I'M
der side, and take the middle strand,
which is the back hair. and treat It In
the same way. The remaining strand
must also be combed and fuffed and
drawn back; the ends OF the three
strands arc now pinned together and
tucked up under the p%ompadour.
To make the back dressing n switcI,
is needed. One of the new, wavy, light
weight switches should be used.
Though the average girl may not like
the idea of wearing false hair. yet Il
is really much mere sensible to wear
a switch than a rat. especially vixen
the switch is not to be arranged high
on the head. Pin the switch to thu
hair just about where the ends Of the
front hair were tucked under and fas-
tened.
If the hair used is one ofthenew, wavy
switches, by twisting it a little it will
almost fall into the correct position Of
its own accord. In arranging the hair
be sure that the lowest coil really rests
low on the neck. At the top he careful

ORIGINAL "FIRsT LADY"
High Ideas of Religious and Home
Duties Which characterized
Mrs, Cleveland. .

There has been one oma who, per-
haps more than any other. has been hon
ored and loved by the American people
Frances Folsom Cleveland. The feeling
given to her in this country has had
nothing to do with politics. so says Sid
ney Poyntz. in the Ladies' Hcme Jour
nal. The democratic party might have
had its successes or defeats; her hus-
bands popularity might wax or wane;
but she has remained the same in the
eyes of the people, the highest type of
the American woman, honored and be-
loved. the one for whom the title was
invented-"The First Lady in tho
Land"
A member of the Cleveland admins |
tration said once: Mrs. ClevaRnd,s n
with all her youth and ~inexperiI
high, strict ideas of religious
governed her household by I'll
a firm hand. l remember tha
two or three members of thd
once visited the president in N
vacation at his home on Bun

I said in an undertone to Mrs. ClevelandsY

There was a twinkle in her soft eyes.
No one, she said. goes out of this house
TO fish on Sunday
we sne2ked upstairs one by one q
came down ready to march deo1

asSg."
Few women with her e
popularity would have resisPed die fe,nn-
tation to become a leader. eitherfn wom-
ems organizations, in public undertake
iugs or in society. But Mrs. Cleveland
had chosen to lead a simple home life.
TO devote herself to her husband, her 4
children and the duties which lie nearest
10 her. This is the secret why in hei
retirement she has retained the respeci
of the American people. a respect ID
which there is a basis of real and SINGER
a Election.
Is there not something significant
che fact that all of these women v
have been the favorites of the Amerj
people were of the same type?
American men do not seem to ri
the exigsncies of the time. They
plaud the learned lady, the clever \
ness woman. the leader of fashion. -
it is the old-fashioned good wife and
mother, the womanly woman whom
they take to their heart of hearts.
