HER BALL GOWN.
She Got 1t For Purpose and Then
Charged 1t Up"

From the San Francisco Call.
There is a good story known to the
elect of newspaper circles, but beyond
the precincts of the craft entirely hidden,
for it concerns a former star in the
journalistic world who has now retired
to the more peaceful sphere of life. To
begin with let it be known that the
proper pronoun to be used in this anec-
dote is she
Not long ago the columns of print that
appeared under her name We're eagerly

Everybody knew her, through her work
at least ana every body hung upon her
written words as oraeles. The envied of
all her sister craftsmen of the pad and
the admired Of every newspaper man
from managing, editor to the cub, this
lady held supreme sway as long as the
spirit moved her.
But in one way she was a terror to

ansexpense account of such amplitude as

Truly the business office would sit up at

this question as 1t has that of everything
connected with mankind's appearance.
Louis XIII and Louis XIV came to the
throne of France when children, and their
loyal subjects were too polite to allow
themselves anything which the sovereign
had not and a smooth chin became the
mark of a polished man. In general as
civilization progressed long boards fell in
to disfavor. In his enthusiasm for pro-
gress in every direction, Peter the Great
determined that his Russian Boyars must
dispense with their cherished boards.
This was as great a grievance to the
Slav patriarchs as the loss of many of
their more lucrative honors. With the
development of standing armies signtfi-
canoe of another kind was attached to
a mans hirsute appendages. For years
a clean shaven chin and long mustaches
were the distinguishing marks of a sold
Ter and it is only comparatively recently
that mere civilians have venturel to
adopt this style. On the other hand, the
mustache is today the sign of gsrtle-
man ON the Continent of Europe.

Another consignment of these apples
recently brought down the retail price
in Covent Garden to $1.50 each. Most
of them show portraits of the king, but
OIL others are depicted the royal coat

and variety of devices all clearly de-

PHOTOGRAPHS OF FRUIT.
Apples Shown Bearing Likenesses of

No end of novel uses are likely to be
made of the so-called Photographic

settled that at festive banquet boards

Photographic imprints of the guest of

from France, but it seems sure to be
taken up in the United States, and no
doubt there will soon be fruit growing

President, the White House, and other
devices that will make them sell.
The first consignment of these photo

a Covent Garden market dealer a few
days ago. They belong to the Peas

coat-of-arms blazoned over his stall he
would be able to lord it over his fellow

substantial reward in the shape of in

dream, and after he had enjoyed it to

to seek inspiration for the composition

Alas, for his calculations, he had

RAz0RS DATE FROM
VERY EARLY TIMES
Shaving in Ancient Rome Was
No Joke
GREAT PROGRESS MADE
1t Is Long Jump From Razors of Flint
and obsidian to Finely Tenn
pered Blade That Is
Used Today.
GREAT PROGRESS MADE

Boston, Oct. Special)-American in
ventors have come to the assistance of
the man who shaves himself and in doing
so have made the first great change in a
process which existed before authentic
history was written. Standing with his
razor and strop, shivering before his
mirror in the early hours of a winter
morning, the average citizen has little
time or inclination to reflect that he is
graphing with a task which taxed the
patience of men who lived scores of CEN
turtles ago. But he make take comfort
in the thought that in all ages the peo-
pie most advanced in ciyilsation have
valued the razor and waged war on the
beard
The ancient Egyptians, whose dress was
of the scantest, were never the less scru-
pulous in shaving and some archaeolo-
gists have maintained that the hairs Of
their heads as well as their boards were
sacrificed to their intense love of per-
sonaI cleanliness. Among the Greeks the
beard was at all times regarded with VEN
/ Grafton but the clean shaver men finally
set the fashion. Diogenes expressed his
opinion when he remarked to young
man whose face was clean shaver, Il am
afraid you think you have great grounds
to accuse the gods for having made you
man and not woman" Diogenes how
ever was an untidy creature, as far as
can be judged after so many centuries,
and his opinion on questions of dress
could hardly have been considered an ex-
pert one by the handles of Athens. In
stead of the tiresome old philosopher, the
gilded youth of ancient Greece probably
followed as their leader Ctesippus, the
fine son of Chabrias," who tradition says,
was accustomed to shave three times a
day AS the razors of those days were
probably not remarkable for their keen
ness the life of a Grecian Beau Brummell
must have had its drawbacks. AS early
as 800 B. c. barbors were imported from
Sicily to Rome and the practice of shaw
! ing came rapidly into favor. That the
first Roman to be shaved was the great
Scipio Africanus himself, is a fact which
has been used with telling effect against
those misguided persons who hold that a
we'll groomed man is Of necessity empty

HE EXPECTS A REVERSAL.
A. Il. Williams Talks About the
Burton Case.

A. L. Williams, former attorney
general of Kansas, and one of the
noted lawyers of the west, has in his
possession a copy of the brief in the
Burton case now being tried before the
United States supreme court 'It is
the finest brief I ever saw" says Mr..
Williams. Its equal is hard to find.
Judge Dillon believes himself to be
absolutely in the right He thinks
that it is a most unjust charge against
Senator Burton. AT times his indig-
nation is very marked as he writes:
Your honors, this must not be So
can just see the judge walking up
and down making his declarations"
There are several points upon which
Mr.. Williams thinks Burton may Sc
cure a reversal of his case by the su-
preme court. One of the principal
ones is that Burton's employment by
the Rialto company did not commence
until after a favorable report had
been returned with the reference to
the Investigations which were made
Another contention, which Mr.. Will
liams thinks will have weight, is that
the court at st. Louis had no jurisdic-
ton in the case because Burton had
been paid in Washington for his SER
vices. That Burton was not guilty of
the indictment charged against him,
and the question of the government
interest in the case, were two other
important topics which Williams sug-
gested.

able Pains of rheumatism Can Be
Cured Through the Blood.
Mrs. De Longs recovery from rheu-
matism has aroused considerable in
terest because it occurred as the re-
suit of an independent course of treat
ment which she pursued in accordance
with a theory of her own. When in
terviewed on the subject of her ILL
ness, Mrs. De Long said:

ing from pain that cannot be de-
scribed to one who has never had

in my elbows and wrists, and then 1
could not even draw the coverlets over
my body. Whether the pain was in
my ankles, knees and hips, or in my
wrists and elbows, it caused me ex-
IRENE suffering. The doctor gave me
no relief and I finally decided to get
on without him."
Yours was a hard condition to
face without the aid of doctor. What
did you do?"

may be sure. I happened to have a
brother-in-law who had used DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills, and who was a per-
purifier of the blood. What he had
said came often to my mind in con-
nection with the thought that rheu-
matism is a disease of the blood.

Pills are so good for the condition of
the blood in general, they must be
good for rheumatism too.
LAS my sufferings continued unre-
leved it was necessary for me to do
something, so I decided to give DR..

mischief out of my Blood
