You can do SO. Shampoo your hair

the curriers' with warm iron until the
hair is perfectly dry. The trouble with
fine hair is that it holds the moisture
too long. 1t must be as dry as a bone
or it will not curl.

A WEBSTER ANEcDoTE.


A story about Daniel Webster is worth
repeating. Told the other day by Harvey
N. Shepard before the "Bostonian So
ciety," it provoked considerable merri-
ment, says 'The Boston Herald" among
the members of that solid and serious
organization. When Webster was at
school, says Mr.. Shepard, he came under
the care of woman who, besides teach
ing the three RS, also undertook to in
culcate among her pupils the observance
Of good manners. Especially did she
emphasize the need of the boys coming
to school with clean faces and clean
hands. One day young Webster COM
mitted some little fault for which the
teacher felt she mnst punish him. She
therefore called him before the school,
and told him to hold out his hand. He
promptly extended his right. She looked
at it moment, then said IF there is
a dirtier hand in this school than that |
won't punish you." Gleefully, the lad
held out his left, and amid bursts of
laughter from the class was thereupon
sent back to his place excused.

The search fer Miller was then con-
tinued, but no one had seen him since
