STRAW HAT GROWS HAIR
Pleasing TidIngs Borne to Bald Men
by a Newly Discovered
Prophet

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Here is the
newest Moses of them all. He speaks
to all bald-headed men. He would
lead them back to the happy land
where hair grows in abundance on
domes of thought that today are in
nocent of other decoration than a fine
polish. He thinks the human race Is
fast approaching a permanent state OF
hairless wretchedness. At the present
rate of departure there will be moth
ing but a race of men with shiny polls
in another generation or two, IL this
prophet be right. He says every man
In the civilized world, himself excepted
is moulting fast.
This Moses is DR.. j. Conger Bryan
He has a radical cure for badness,
and in order to show the benefits of
il he goes about the streets of the city
every day with the remedy in plain
sight 1t Is a straw hat. He playfully
refers to it sometimes as "the cows
breakfast" When DR.. Bryan meets a
doubter he promptly doffs his summery
top piece, displays a thick head of
hair that is fast turning white and
says proudly:
my straw hat grew this hair and
can prove It,"
DIR. Bryan believes his remedy for
badness should be worn the year
round. When the mercury crawls
down around the zero mark DIR. Bryan
promises to make Fifth avenue and
Broadway sit up and take notice of
him this winter. Even now he at

PRETTY GIRL AND A CAT
Act of Humanity Draws a Big Crowd
and Stops Traffic on the
Street
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. IA crowd, a
block in traffic, a policeman, an am
bulance. and-a cat! Such a tiny cat,
too, that hardly anybody craning his
neck over the shoulders of the throng
at Broadway and Eighteenth street
saw the original cause of the dis
turbance.
They saw, however. a pretty young
woman in a well-fitting gown rise
suddenly from a STOPPING posture and
tuck something into her muff. The
something" was puss.
1t was late yesterday afternoon and
the wind was sweeping up Broadway
when the disreputable cat came on
the scene. He was a mere little gray
wrath of cat, staggering from weak
ness. Just as the pretty girl turned
the corner the tiny gray ghost faltered
and fell With a cry of sympathy
she raised 1t in her arms. The news
boy on the corner evinced interest.
Couldn't you take it home with
you?" she asked him.
Me mudder won't let me keep no
CATS was the reply.
Butts its hungry; couldn't you get
some milk?" and out came the purse.
Off ran the urchin, presently re-
turning with a bottle. Down by the
wall crouched the pair, his grlmy paw
making cup, out of which the kitten
drank ravenously.
So absorbed were they that they did
not observe that a crowd had began
to gather. When a policeman ran up
to find out what was the matter those
on the edge of the crowd told him
woman had been hurt. Somebody
called an ambulance, and at last Lady
Bountiful was rudely aroused to her
situation.
The ragged small boy constituted
himself the lady's knight.
Jaw, g'wan, you rubber-necks!" he
said, and by the time the ambulance
arrived the tender-hearted girl, the
small boy and the kitten in the muff
had boarded a car

TELLS CHILD TO STEAL
Stepfather of TWelve-Year-old Girl
Appears in the Role of
Eanin
snecial to The Herald.

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 12.-"My father
told me to steal" said 12-year-old Jean
ette Galliger, when she was brought
before Judge Neelen in Juvenile court
yesterday to face a larceny charge.
He said to take any money l could
get hold of and bring it to him, and
told me that he would keep 1t for me-
Following these statements the police
arrested the girls stepfaher. Charles
Grimshaw upon a vagrancy charge
and lodged him in the central police
station, while jeanette was sent to the
detention home.
The story told by the girl is one of
the most pitiful which has come to
the notice of the police for some time.
1t reads like chapter from Dickens,
with the stepfather in the role of Fa-
gin and the little girl an Oliver Twist.
MY father used to send me out with
bits of lace and fancy work, which
had to sell from house to house." she
said. He would be angry when 1
came home with little money, and but
for my mother he would have beaten
me many times. I didn't take the
money to him, but when 1 didn't sell
much lace l would hide some and
would take home enough money for
what I had stolen and hidden to pay
for what lace didn't bring home. The
money was used to support the fam
den. I never felt afraid when 1 couldn't
sell much"
The theft for which the child was
arrested was committed in the home
of Mrs. Emily Hurd, 223 Tenth street
Twenty dollars was taken, and jean
ette admits that within the last eight
days she has taken $13 more. OF this
sum $S was stolen from bureau
drawer in the home of Mrs. Whitfield,
1913 Tenth street, and SIS was taken
from Mrs. Lott, who lives in the Fair
view flats, 905 State street. She said
that she would go to the house and try
the door and if she could open it, would
walk around and see what she could
find. If detected, she would say that
she wanted to sell some bits of lace
Once or twice, she said she had been
caught trying TO steal something, but
in these cases she had begged off from
punishment offering to give the ones
who caught her pieces of her wares.

WESTERN PLAYS
ARE POPULAR
THEATERG0ERS LIKE STURDY
TYPES
"The Cowboy and the Lady" at the
Belaseo Is One Of the Best Of
Dramas Of This
Sort

The American playwrights are evil
IDENTIFY turning their attention to the
western part Of the country for their
material for this seasons plays. for the
most conspicuous successes are laid in
the country beyond the Rockies. N. C.
Goodwin, after he tried to persuade the
New York theater-goers that he could
play an English comedy called Beauty
and the Barge and the playgoers
showed that he was entirely on the
wrong end Of the question by per-
sistently remaining away from his per-
formances, turned his attention to a
dramatization of Alfred Henry Lewis
stories of Wolfville. The play was
fashioned from several of Lewis tales
by Clyde Fitch and Willis steele.
1t was Fitch who wrote Goodwin's
most pronounced success Of recent
years, 1.-The Cowboy and the Lady"
which will be the offering of the
Belasco theater stock company for this
week. Fitch, in getting material for
"The Cowboy and the Lady" visited
the west and made up his mind that
this part of the country contained a
vast fund of dramatic possibilities. His
1.-THE Cowboy and the Lady" success
heightened this belief and in Wolfville
he has clinched it beyond any possi-
bility.
Blanche Bates play this year is THE
Girl of the Golden West" 1t was writ
ten by David Belasco and tells a virile
story of California in '49. 1t has made
a tremendous success in Pittsburg, Bal
timore. Washington and Philadelphia
and will tonight be played for the first
time in New York.
The "Squaw Man. another western
play, has let William Faversham re-
gain his position as star of the first
magnitude, while Incidentally it en-
ables his managers, Lieber & Co, to
add very materially to their bank ac-
count. The success Of Arizona and the
Virginians" is too well known to re-
uuire any comment. Altogether, we
may look for more of these western
plays since the popularity of The Cow
boy and the Lady made it apparent
that the American theater going public
wants this sort of stage performances.

FINDS HIM AT LAST
Woman Who Had Looked Under Her
Bed for Ten Years Discovers
Burglar

Special to The Herald.
ANSONIA, Conn.,, Nov. 12.-For ten
years it has been the habit of Mrs
Joseph Mckenzie of Bridge street tc
wind the clock and to peer under hei
bed for burglars before retiring at
night.
She peered under the bed as usua
last night and saw a pair of boots
She thought at first they were hel
husbands, but to make sure she tried
to drag them out. Then she discovered
1t was the burglar for whom she had
been looking so long.
The shock was too much for her
She screamed for hep. The burglar
was so wedged he could not move, nor
did he try. This frightened Mrs. Nc
Kenzie more. She dashed wildly about
the room, SO excited that she mistook
a window for door and jumped
out. Her bedroom is on the third
floor of the house ano she fell on the
lawn beneath the window. Luckily her
fall was broken by bushes, and she
arose thinking not OF her hurts, but OF
the burglar. She dashed down the
street to the police station.
II have found man under my bed
she cried to the sergeant.
All the policement in the neighbor-
hood were summoned, and Mrs. Nc
Kenzie led them to her home. They
surrounded it, little expecting that
they had caught the intruder. AS they
drew in the circle a man appeared at
the front door. He was called on to
halt, but he tried to break through
the line of police.and they nabbed him
and took him to the police station. He
was covered with feathers from the
bedtick, and with dust, so there was
little doubt that he was the man who
hid under the bed. Furthermore, Mrs
Mckenzie identified him by his shoes.

INDIVIDUAL INFLUENCES.

Even the most orthodox and pes
simistic physicians now admit that
the mind of the patient is influenced
by the minds of those attending him
or those in constant association; that
rays of individuality are thrown off
by every person. for good or evil, just
as the state of mind is pleasant or
"grouchy."
This is sort of mental subirriga-
ton; the mind moisture of one strone
person reclaims the aridity of those
in constant association with that per-
son; the rays Of light and cheerful
ness creep out from the well balanced
mind to stimulate and revive the
dropping or moody natures near by.
Mental suggestion is coming to be
one of the well defined sciences. Soon
medicine viii be discarded and the
sick will be smiled upon by some con-
vivial, beaming personality overflow
ing with good cheer and mental
power and health; pills, tonics, purg-
atives and soothing lotions will be
relegated to the background and the
physician will be armed with sweet
countenance, a cheering word, a ten
der hand to smooth the brow, and a
reviving suggestiveness that will heal
and cure.
An old physician who has practiced
in Eastern Oregon for 80 years said
to the East Oregonian recently "The
older get the less medicine 1 give,
and the better results I have"
It is not telling tales out of school
to say that a large amount of the
medicines given for common ailments
today would be found to be surpris-
ingly simple properties, if the patient
could see their names written in Eng
| lish instead of Latin.
Half of the cure is in the magnetism
and mental suggestions of the physic-
| ian. Taking medicine in large guam
titles is simply a habit And a bad
and costly habit it is.

are ready to deny their birthright,
their brains, honor, dignity. every
thing in order to apply the white
wash brush to some portion of this
blackened old trickster.
The last defense of Hermann is
that the letter files burned by him
while commissioner of the general
land office, We're private files, con-
tanning loving letters from his family
which We're dear to his heart and
which were no portion of the public
records; that his private rights are
being invaded by the government de-
tectives and that the government has
no right to say whether a citizen shall
keep his personal correspondence.
Do government officials keep their
loving letters from home in the reg
ular government files. arranged al
phebetically and provided for official
correspondence? Was Hermann JUS
titled in burning over 80 complete
files of official records even though
he had appropriated these files for
private uses?
The less said about the case of
Hermann, the better it will be for
Hermann. Welcome the day when
official rascality will be barred to the
sunlight, without regard to assumed
dignity and honor of the guilty! The
punishment and humiliation for a
public officials crimes should be ten
fold more severe than for an ignorant
common rascal, because the RESPONSE
bility of the official is greater; more
is expected of him.

ANOTHER WONDERFUL
CURE BY CUTICURA

Mrs. Matte Shaffer, of Cumberland,
Miss, says; "Some time ago 1 or
dered and received your wonderful
Cuticura Remedies, which 1 used on
my little afflicted babe with wonder
full results. l had tried many other
remedies without any benefit what
ever, and Cuticura came to the rescue
when my doctors and all other REM
edies had failed. One doctor pro-
nounced it scrofula, the other eczema.
The little one was one solid sore, with
scales and scabs from head to foot,
when started using Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. The result was Won
derful, and now my baby's face and
body are smooth and clear"

Nay, Death, thou mightiest of all

Upon the warriors knightly sword;
Still through the charge and cannon

His voice rang for the truth-the

Keyed with the shibboleth that pealed
His Soul forth to the fight;
The inspiration of his pen
Glowed as a star, and lit anew
The faces and the hearts of men
Watching, the long night through
A destiny ordained-divine
1t seemed to hosts of those who saw
His rise since youth and marked the

OF his ascent with awe
From the now-storied little town
That gave him birth and worth, be-
hold,
His sword and word of gold.
Serving the Land he loved so we'll
Hailed midsea or in foreign port,

And loved and honored for his

Hath seen his Flag in glory shake

o. r. & y. SHOULD BUILD.

Really isn't it time for the Com
mercial association to take up the
matter of securing a building of some
kind on the vacant lot at the corner
of Main and Railroad streets, belong
ing to the o. r. & n. company?
This unsightly hole in the ground
gives a bad impression of the city
to every tourist passing through the
city as it is the first and most prom
inent thing in view from the train,
as it stands at the depot.
There are several propositions that
could be brought to close If
the company would consent to lease
the lot for a period of years, if they
do not care to build.
It would be a good location for a
first-class theater building, for a
rooming house, for a department
store, or any other first-class business.
II the company does not wish to
build upon it, they should have re-
spect enough for the city to allow
someone else to cover up the insight
~ hole with a good building. 1t is
due to the city to make some dlspos-
al of this lot
II the company would allow the
city to convert it into park, this
would be an excellent manner in
which to dispose of it for a few years
until the company decides whether II
will build.
Something should be done this
spring.

PRUNING THE COMMISSION.

Every man appointed to a promi-
nent government position by President
Roosevelt is expected to earn his sal
AIRY.
There is no place in the Roosevelt
program for a laggard, an aristocrat
nor an idler. The pruning of the
Panama canal commission by the
president proves that he does not
appoint anyone for FORMS sake-that
when he gives a man job he expects
him to roll up his sleeves and get to
work. All of which is new and
strange to many of the old-time pol
iticians who have been holding jobs
all these years just for the honor and
the tinsel and the epauletts that go
with the job-leaving the drudgery
TO others.
Admiral Walker, Engineer Gruns-
ky and others Of the canal commits
sion are not striking hard enough nor
fast enough to suit the president so
he retires them. 1t is a horrible
thought to such "capacious' men as
these to be retired from such fat
job. But Roosevelt is in dead earn
est in building this canal. His word
is out his reputation is at stake. Let
him prune the commission to suit his
taste. If he builds the canal, that
is all the people ask; they don't care
for wounded dignity.
