wife beaters. / would not advocate
whipping every man arrested for as
sault upon his wife; but such a man
should be given to understand that re-
peated offenses will bring him under
the lash. A good whipping will hurt
the brutes themselves. The Jail SEN
fences only temporarily disarrange
their plans, and they do not at all mind
the little discomforts of prison life.
But whip them just once, and warrant
they never will return to the post.
THE whipping should never be pub
licly administered. Let the judge of
the court have all to say in regard to
that matter. The selectmen and char
tiles board officials could give the Judge

A GIRL DIVER WILL
EXPLORE EAST RIVER,
To Search for Box of Valuable Papers
Lost in General Slocum
Disaster.

New York.-Miss Frances l.. Baker,
of Detroit, has come to this city in
search of box of valuable legal pa
pers which she hopes 10 find at the
bottom of the East river, off North
Brother island, where the General Sol
cum went down.
Miss Bakers uncle, A. p Baker. of
Port Huron, Mich, who died a short
time ago, was one of the survivors of
the Slocum disaster. Just before his
death he told his niece that at the time
the flames were raging, when he had
Gespaired of getting ashore alive, he
threw the small box containing the pa
pers into the river.
The papers are of such value that
Miss Baker is going to make an effort
to find them. She says that she has
certain directions given her by her
uncle, which she thinks will enable her
to locate the box.
Arrangements have -een made with
the Merritt & Chapman Wrecking COM
pany to furnish a tug and a diving
crew, with which Miss Baker will
prosecute the search.
Miss Baker. whose father was q
diver on the great lakes. will herself
wear a diving costume working with
the other divers and directing the
search in person.

GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY
No Woman Can Do This Who Has
Permitted Her Mirror to Be
come Her Tyrant.

To great many women the time
they devote before the mirror be-
comes in 4 way period of supreme
torture. Whether long or short, this
time spen in peering into her glass
and searching there for signs of age,
care or worry in her face is not only
time wasted. but put to the worst
possible use-
/ have in mind, says a writer in the
San Francisco Chronicle, a woman of
80 odo. in the heyday of her beauty,
who daily scans her mirror for traces
of the first wrinkle or the first gray
hair. The day when she makes the
discover land it will be long before
anyon' Sc does-will be a day of
mise her, for she firmly believes
that b, beauty and happiness are
bound in the preservation of an
unline row and raven hair.
Her prehension is so great that
she VIC les so that age should take
her una ares that she is really incapa-
BILE of fully enjoying her youth and
good looks.
No one can get the best out of life
who lives in constant dread of what
the mirrCr will reflect Every woman
wants 70 Dc as pretty as possible, and
every woman should do all in her
power to preserve her charms But to
make tyrant of the mirror is to give
it a power and influence which does
not rightly belong to it.
We see in others what we wish to
see in them, and this is particularly
true of the reflections in the locking
glass.
IL we scan il for traces of oncoming
years, for wrinkles and lusterless eyes,
we see, or think we see, the signs of
age approaching. If one looks at it
convinced that it will reflect the vigor
and splendid maturity which one feels
there will be no Disappointment.
A wrinkle, gray hair does not
mean age. The handsomest woman
know is a grandmother, and the years
may possibly point to 40, but when she
looks into the glass she does so fear
lessly, Knowing that she will see there
the image of face full of charm, good
cheer and sympathy, and she is never
disappointed.
She uses many outward means of
preserving her looks and attends to
her hair and complexion persistentIy,
but she has learned the secret that it
is her spirit and not the lotion that
keeps her looking and feeling young.
She does not think of herself as old,
nor speak of the approaching years
with dread. Her mind is filed with
interest," for all things, her heart with
sympathy for all people, and she has
found the secret of youth.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY NOTES

The afternoon nap is beneficial to
those who would gain flesh.
After the shampoo, if the hair is stiff
and dry, rub olive oil into the roots.
Highly scented soaps are often in
furious, as the scent is added to conceal
rancid ingredients.
In dieting to reduce flesh drink no
liquids at meals and no water until an
hour at least after the meal
A glass of warm or hot milk taken
just before or Immediately efter arising
will prove flesh producer.
For enlarged pores the camers hair
brush and constant scrubbing with pure
soap is the quickest and surest cure.
Thin people who wish to gain flesh
should eat light luncheon before retir-
ing; an empty stomach feeds upon the
flesh of the body.
If the finger nails are filed daily, little
cutting is needed. This is an excellent
plan TO follow Shen the nails are brittle
and break in tneeuttng.
A bad figure and a poor carriage are
often due to laziness. Walk with the
shoulders back, the chest elevated and
the hips back If good carriage is de-
sired.

HE HAS CARRIED A
MILLION LOVE NOTES
The Bearer of Sweet-Scented Billets to
the Girls at Bryn-Mawr
College.

Bryn Mawr, Pa.-William Armitage,
chief herald and bearer of billets
d'amour, sweet-scented notes and bon
bons for Bryn Mawr college, has round
ed the twentieth year in that service.
Probably no mail carrier in America
has delivered as many love letters as
Armitage. In honor of his anniversary,
the girls congratulated him when he
made his trip to the coIlege-an errand
that has made many a glrlish heart leap
with joy in the past.
Happy as was the veteran carrier over
this tribute from the students, the day
brought one sad remembrance He
missed his faithful horse, Bill" the big
bay, who began his trips to the college
the day he entered upon his duties.
Worn by the years of service "Bill''
recently began to fail. His legs lost that
pristine sprightliness that had made his
gait the admiration of the countryside;
he began to totter and show other signs
of ebbing vitality. To end 'Bill's" mis-
cry, Armitage chloroformed him to
death.
In Armitage's six trips a day in the
delivery of letters to the so students and
professors at the college, the two Bills
had become a traditional feature of the
institution. Jumps of sugar and sweet
meats We're often fed from dainty hands
to the old horse as Armitage would drive
up with his precious burden of letters.
Armitage has another horse 4.
But he is not BILL" the idol of the col
lege girl. Sweet glances greeted the
carrier, but there were no sweetmeats
for the new horse.

The second purse puff is made of a
