A Case of Pronouns.

Tommy Mulligan, Of the seventh
grade, was absent from the classroom
for one entire day. 1t would appear that
he had played ~truant, for unknown to
Tommy his teacher had spied him trudg-
ing homeward with pockets bullying
s~uspiciously when she too was home
ward bound that afternoon.
But Tommy brought a note of excuse
the next morning which of course would
prove that he had been detained at home
legitimately. The writing was hardly
that of a feminine hand, and the note
appeared to have been written laborious-
ly and with much plotting; furthermore,
the penmanship seemed strangely ia
miliar to his teacher. The note read as
follows:
Dear teacher-Please excus Tony for
not con:eing to shool yestiddy. he cud-
not come. l tore my pants.

TO DRESS THE HAIR.
The Pompadour Still with Us, But It
Is Not Worn So High as
= Formerly.

The couture is the puzzle of the hour
to the feminine mind. Nine. la Mode
has issued her edict that the pompadour
with the rat must go, saw for the grande
dame with her white hair, patrician face
and velvet gown. But for once the FEM
|fnine world rebels.
The pompadour, properly dressed,
gives a girl an air of distinction. Very
few faces can stand hair demurely part
ed in the middle and knotted low on the
nape of the neck. AS a result the really
clever girl works out a compromise be-
tween the high dressed hair and the low,
while the girl who does not know how
to do the correct thing clings to her
.pompadour in the front and drops her
back hair on the nape of her neck-a
combination which is startling, to say
the least, and leaves an ugly space be-
tween pompadour and knot.
- One of the most pleasing compromises
shows the rat removed from the POM
padour and the front hair Marcelled Just
as if the rat were to be used. 1t is then
parted on the side (and, by the way,
HSlLuSI Tie IlSuC HOI lhC ASlC SluO 10
obligatory; a girl must study her face
before deciding where to place the part),
then the hair is drawn back lightly and
knotted on the nape of the neck, but
not too low.
Sometimes no part appears, but the
pompadour, minus the rat, is waved in
three puffs. These puffs are not tight.
but the finger or comb is run through
them to secure a light, fluffy, waved eff
feet. One puff is drawn down slightly
over the forehead, and the other two run
back from the temples, or, if the face
needs a different treatment, the three
Duffs run around the brow like a frame,
f1uffed and waved so that they practical
ly overlap each other. With this dress
ing of the pompadOur the hair may be
worn in a fiat figure eight on top of the
head, or the waving may continue Owe
the crown and back of the head and
be caught in with the back hair in a
figure eight on the nape of the neck.
This figure eight should not extend be-
low the junction of the collar with the
gown.

Flowers and Plumape.

When a combination of tints is re-
quired, plumage is generally resorted
to, flowers of a different color from the
hat shape being mostly reserved for
trimming under the brim. For this
purpose, pink OF yellow roses are
often chosen, and also white and palest
pink camelias, with their own green
leaves. A somewhat daring harmony
consists in the choice of two long os-
trich tips, one of a bright rose pink,
the other a brilliant copperish red, as
trimming for a cigar-brown felt. l
have also seen a dark moss-green felt
hat trimmed with three tips, one tur-
quoise blue, another saffron yellow and
the third a lighter moss-green shade.
In both cases the feathers were fas-
tened in front of the crown so as to
curve slightly forward over the brim,
which was turned up in front and fat
tened down behind. The brown hat
had liberty ribbon to match, bound
round the base of the crown, crossed
at the back, where the ends passed
through Sits in the felt, to be knotted
togethef lower down and hang in
streamers over the shoulders. Mil

spears in him he soon bleeds to death.
| determined to climb on the platform
and investigate, which was foolish on
my part, as we were at least three miles
from camp and night coming N. My
Batonga boy, whom l had named David,
carried a ST. express rifle to hand TO me
when l called for it, and | carried an
eight-bore.
In order to swarm up the platform,
l handed my eight-bore' to David, who
thus held both guns. No soone had /
fairly reached the ~scaffolding than there
came a terrifying roar from the bush
and a scream from the boy. Dropping
both weapons, he placed himself beside
me with the agility of a monkey.
l looked down to see a huge old lion
spring from the bush into the path. The
beast shifted the rifles and paved them
Warily. He evidently was one of those
s-uperannuated lions of whom the natives
say: His teeth are worn; he will eat
man." because they are not able to fight
and kill their ordinary prey. Thus they
are more dangerous to an unarmed man,
for they are hungry always, and a man
without a gun fills a long-felt want with
them.
The lion scented US in the tree and
looked longingly up at us, sometimes
lying with his head upon his paws like
a domestic cat and just casting his eyes
sideways, as if thinking how good we
would taste, and then again roaring and
shaking his name, rearing on his hind
legs and scratching at the trunk of the
tree.
The moon came up and we could see
all this as from an open box, for the
branches of the trees let in enough light
on the path to make the scene visible.
Suddenly there came a great crashing
of twigs, a cracking of small saplings.
a general tear-up of the bush, and, thun-
dering out of the ~obscurity, putting and
snorting, dashed a body, huge and I'M
calmly, but with the speed of a lOcomo-
tive.
It was a rhinoceros, big, black and
ugly. The lion would gladly have turned
tail, but the rhino was upon him too soon
and cornered the old cat. Then his
fighting blood awoke.
He made a spring for the rhino, jump
ing sideways, and landed on his Shout
ders, but his claws and teeth were worn,
and. after a confused tumble of fighting
bodies, accompanied by terrific oars and
mighty snorts and puffs, we saw that the
rhino had shaken off his antagonist.
The two faced each other again. The
lion backed away and evidently was
about to run for it, when the rhine
charged. The lion sprang into the air tc
dodge, but the great horn of the rhine
caught him in the side and we heard 8
terrible ripping sound. Then the two
%combatants were hidden by the bush,
from which the rhino presently emerged
alone. making uncouth noises and ap-
parently in a great rage. He tossed his
head as if he scented us, but in his mad
anger rushed wildly away, crashing
through the forest.

We arrived in camp before the return OF
the party which had been sent out in
search of us.

FIGHT BETWEEN MONSTERS
Thrilling Encounter in Jungle in
Which Rhinoceros Killed
a Huge Lion.

Some years ago, while hunting in the
Zambesi country for elephants ivory,
left camp with one attendant soon after
Dor n day and made a wide circuit,
but found M elephants, though signs
showed that they had been in the neigh
borhood in great numbers, says a writer
in the Philadelphia Inquirer. My at
tendant, a bright Batonga boy about IL
years old, declared that the tuskers l
sought had been scared away from their
usual feeding grounds by a war party OF
Barotse who had passed across the
country.
" 1t was getting dark when, disappoint-
ed, / started back toward camp. In q
woodland path where the trees stood
rather wide apart, but where the under
brush grew rank and thick, We came
across one of the scaffoldings, fixed in
the branches of an ~overhanging tree,
from which the natives of that region
kill elephants by thrusting into them
long spears as they pass beneath. These
spears have a handle four or five feet
long and are as thick as a mans wrist,
while the spearhead is about 20 inches
long by two broad.
They drive the spear between the ami
mails ribs, and the wounded beast rushes

IMMungA
sR2N
BOYHOOD OF AL. J. PITKIN.
How the New President of Locomo-
tive Company Struggled to
Study Mechanics.

Albert ]. Pitkin was not apprenticed
because of any Discrimination on his part
to study, but simply because his father.
a Presbyterian minister with a charge
now in one town and now in another,
could not afford to send his boy through
college, although he desired to do so.
Noting his love for mechanics, he did the
next best thing, and apprenticed him
to learn the machinist' S trade. When he
was II years old, he was sent to live with
his grandfather, in Granville, o., who
owned and operated. a cabinet-manufac-
turing shop. This the boy haunted; 1t
became his playground. With remark
able cleverneSs he made, out of wood,
machinery that would perform differ
ent kinds of work. Once, with a spin
ming wheel, which he found in an attic,
as the principal pulley, and with coarse
string for belts, he devised a machine by
means of which he sawed wood. Be
cause of his ingenuity there sprang up,
between grandfather and grandson, al
almost chummy friendship. He gained
his characteristic sobriety and serious
consideration of things through con-
slant association with his grandfather
who first taught him how to use a
chisel and a mallet, how to drive a nail
through a narrow piece of wood with
out cracking it, and how to sandpaper
and rub down a cabinet to make ready
for vanishing. When he was only IA
years old he had mastered the con-
structive details of the portable engine
of the shop. He could also run the
turning lathe and other machines. One
day, while on a visit to Newark, O., he
went through a machine shop. He had
never before seen metal being manu-
featured into machinery. The rasping
and harsh noises of It's cutting were
music to his ear. From that time forth
the cabinet shop as barren of attrac-
ton. and the dreams his grandfather
may have entertained of some day TAX
ing him into partnership disappeared as
quickly as shaVings in a furnace. He
determined to become a machinist, to
learn how to design machinery, and to
become eminent as an engineer.
He began as an apprentice at 60 cents
a day in the Webster, Camp & Lane Ma
chine ccmpany's shops, chipping cast
ings with hand tools, and ended by as
sistin9 in setting up stationary engines
in nelghboring villages, and, on the eX-
piration Of his time, was engaged at
1925 a day. For his betterment, after
a year. he considered it wise to avail
himself of an opportunity to enter the
locomotive repair shops Of the Cleve-
land. Akron & Columbus railroad. He
had always felt the common romantic
interest in locomotives, and had de-
lighted to watch their movements. The
locomotive then became his study.
When he crawled under one to make re-
pairs it was with a students interest as
well as a workman's skill. He familiar
ICED himself with the mechanism of all
the existing styles on that railroad

HOUSEWoRK BENEFICIAL.
Vigorous Labor of the Home Good
Physical Culture Exercise When
Properly Followed.

Sweeping, busting, scrubbing and all
that must be done with the shoulders
thrown back, but as a rule the first thing
a woman does is to contract her shout
ders. Then she grows narrow chested
and walls over her shape lost in doing
drudgery.
When sweeping, especially, bear In
mind that one must stand straight. Then
grasp the broom, and instead of doing
work from the elbows down, as is so
commonly the case, let the strokes be
broad and firm, the strength coming
from the shoulders. 1t is enough to
bend the head to watch the broom; 1t is
quite unnecessary to stoop, SO says the
Chicago Journal.
1t will take a woman who has swept
for a long time some practice to over
come the wrong way, and adapt herself
to the right, but she can. And after a
time she will find that her chest is broad

The housekeeper's slate is so useful
that it is a wonder it was not thought
of years ago. 1t will make a suitable
and valuable gift to the bride. An older
housekeeper might be glad of one for
Christmas, and the gift, at the worst,
may prove a bit of kitchen missionary
work which is in most cases badly need

and well-finished. Take off the slate

LAS THE NOSE is BENT"

nor make it red, inflamed or sore. But
at night, before going to bed, massage
the sides of the nose, lifting it and
pressing it into Grecian shape. The
straight Grecian nose is the pretty
nose of to-day. And the woman whose
nose turns up or down, or lies fiat, is
the woman who needs to put in a lit
tie time massaging her nose.
Remember always that the cartilage
is soft and that you can flatten the
nos at a blow. In the same way, you
can lift it and mold it into nice shape.
The eyebrows can always be made
nice, and in the case of a little child
the eyebrows are susceptible of much
treatment. They can be curved and
made al pretty as one would want to
see.
