He TOOK PIE IN HIS.
Kentucky Senator Had to Keep A
Line with the Soft
Drinks.

When It comes to story telling, Congress.
man Samuel L. Powers, OF Newton, can hold
his own with any Of them. The other night
he related one which was much appreciated
by those who heard it, says the Boston Post.
The story is about Senators Blackburn and
Fairbanks and Secretary Of the Treasury
Shaw. When the latter first came TO Wash
ington Senator Blackburn had some bust.
ness with the secretary, and while in the
Office met Senator Fairbanks. After the
business was concluded Senator Blackburn
invited the other two out to have libation,
and they accepted. .
All hands lined up against the bar Of the
Riggs house. Turning to Secretary Shaw,
Senator Blackburn said: "What will you
have, Mr. Secretary well, guess III
have a glass of lemonade" was the reply.
The gentleman from Kentucky then turned
to Senator Fairbanks and said: "And what
will you have, senator" "I'll have glass
of Moxie," was the reply. The bartender
leaned over the counter and said to Senator
blackburn: "And whats yours, senstor!"
"Oh," said the distinguished gentleman
from the blue grass state, II guess Ill have

THE FALSE HAIR MARKET.
England Comes First and the United
States Second i'm the Line
of Consumers.

The manufacture of false hair in
France is daily on the increase, and
within a few years the value of the hair
exported has risen to sSS,000. England
takes the largest share, from $4,000 to
$4,000 made-up "chignons" being fur
nished to us annually, besides enough
loose hair to make 10000 more, while
the United States comes next on the list,
says Golden Penny. A great deal of this
hair is imported to Marseilles from the
east, Spain and Italy. and especially
from Naples and Sicily, the amount
generally reaching nearly 40 tons annu-
ally, from which $1,000 chignons are
made. The chief French harvest is
reaped in Brittany and Auvergne, where
in some places the girls let down their
hair and sell 1t to the highest bidder,
while the rest is supplied by the ragpick-
ers out of the town dustheaps.
All hair undergoes five processes be-
fore being made up. The Jumps Of hair
are first washed, then carefully combed
to separate them, next placed in bundles.
are afterward arranged In three lengths
for wigs, plaits and curls, and finally
sorted into seven different shades. They
are then sold to the hairdressers, who
make them up and sell the false tresses
at prices varying from ten shillings to
s20.

GOOD SENSE OF CHICKENS.
FOretell Rain Better Than the
Weather Man.

"A chicken raiser In Connecticut told
me something about chickens l did not
know before, said a dominic who spends
a few weeks walking in the country ev-
cry summer, relates the New York Sun.
ut was late in the day and stopped at
the gate of little farmhouse to ask for

1.-THE farmer was watching his chick
en- house, as the brood, one by one. turned
in to roost. He was so intent In his watch
that he did not Sc me until had spoken.
Then we began talking about chick
ems and said that from my observation
chicken had less sense than anything
else with feathers. The farmer at once
took me ur.
-" You have never raised Chickens
he said, or you wouldn't say that.
Chickens can beat your city weather
man in predicting rain. You wouldn't
notice this, however, unless you made q
business of raising 'em. Unless the
shower is sudden they begin to run to
and fro before the downfall, as II hawk
was in the air. and then scurry to shell
ter.
Another popularity about chickens
is their system Of making certain rounds
every day when the weather is fair. They
start out in the morning and go to given
points with the regularity of a clock.
"They may be shooed off their course.

now and then by taking 1t Off its beat
and putting 1t down at some other point.
BY waiting found that it invariably re-
turned to the place where had picked
it up and from there resumed its regu-
lar course.
Unless there is rain chickens will
never leave their daily course until the
time draws night for them to come home
to roost. They may be trife late now
and then, as some Of my brood are this
evening, but they will come. That's
more than some folks know added the
farmer, looking at me in a peculiar man
ner, which prompted me to 60 on my
way"

Heroes md Heroes.

All the heroes are not epauletted or
brass-buttoned, nor a thousand miles
away. After the flood in North Topeka
a minister Of small church there re-
ceived an offer of a higher salary to
accept pastorate In another town. His
church was hard hit by the food, his
congregation somewhat scattered and
many Of its members in distress; so
far from being able to meet the higher
salary, they could not pay the former
salary promptly, If at all. The preacher
declined the better position and stuck
to his church. But he had to live, and
he went out and found job as a car
penter. He is still working five or six
days week as carpenter and preach
ing on Sundays What time he is able
to give in the evenings he gives to
visiting and helping his congregation.
And some Of his parishioners say he
breaches better sermons than he ever
did.-Topeka Capital.
