How Much Is Beauty Worth?

A singular lawsuit which will
result in an appra;sement of per-
sonal beauty has just been tired in
the Belgian court. The Countess
d Argentcau was a deck cabin pas

boat. when owing TO some accident
the cabin was wrecked, and the
countess was covered with the de-
br:s. OF which she retained perma-
uent traces IN a prominent scar on
the forehead. An action for dam
ages has been the result, and it has
been decided in her favor with
costs. The countess, however, mod
estly refrained from herself asses

her features, which are reputed to
be very handsome. This has been

OF the gladiatOrs could put the other
on his back, but both went to their
knees and hands together In other
words, the result of the convention Is
and Is not victory for both fusionist
and anti-fusionist. On the side, how
ever, there was some very pretty slate
smashing done, over which nearly ey.
erybody rejoices-except the fellowa
who made the slate.
In order to understand the Kansas
situation it must be considered that
practically all OF the Kansas populists
are united in their admiration for Mr..
Bryan, THAR implicit faith in his sim
cerity, and their desire TO do nothing
to impede the progress of the great
reform movement in which he plays
such an important part But there Is.
