BLOND HAIR HER TRIAL. How It Interfered With Young Wam
 ans Business Career.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
 The young woman was of perfect blond type. Her hair was straw-colored. With an air of vexation she said:
 Though I am an expert stenographer, find 1t difficult, on account of my straw colored hair, to get work. Men think that my hair is bleached, and they hesi- tate to employ bleached blonde, for they know well that she who would bleach her hair to so conspicuous hue as mine would have a soul too frivolous for sober typewriting and shorthand.
 When I was out of work last year had to apply to six offices before I could get place. Three of the men to whom I applied didn't test my ability in any way. They said lamely that they were sorry. but they preferred an older, a more sedate person. Two men, after brief talk admitted that my work suited them, but had to admit also that their wives had peculiar views, and would ob ject to my presence m their husbands offices.
 'sThe man who engaged me was bach elor. He, too, was about to repulse me, but broke out desperately with:
 Hook here, I am not bleached blond. My hair is straw colored naturally. If you object to it, I'll wear a brown wig during office hours
 "The man laughed and took me on. He has told me since. though that he would not have taken me but for my frank outburst
 Hair like mine is perhaps beautiful, but 1t is a serious drawback to an hon. est working girl.''

asked for three cards. I held up four cards to mislead him. In dealing to Car roll I inadvertently turned up a card and he refused It. I drew my card and then gave him his fifth card. I looked at my fifth card and found it to be another tray and knew that had the high hand four trays. I was tiekled when Eddie showed in two blues and red I came back with that much and a hundred more. Eddie hesitated for a few seconds and then saw the hundred and glanced at my pile. l had $50 left on the table and he raised me that sum. I showed in my pile and he laid down four jacks. He had me beat and broke. One of his jacks was the last card dealt him. The pot amounted to $3S0. I woke up soon after, but 1t was terrible time l spent after that fatal pot. And the funny thing about 1t was that the dream for it was dream, of course-must have been founded on fact In counting the change in my pockets next morning found exactly $380.

successfully constructed by Secretary Hay and President Roosevelt.
 since the treaties were sent to the senate there has been no meeting of the committee on foreign relations, so that 1t has been impossible to secure A correct analysis of the sentiment in the senate. From individual senators in the oouth' however, have come expressions or doubt which render 1t uncertain, at least whether the treaties will be rati- neo' although in point of fact they ought to get through the secret session of the senate practically without opposition.
 cuIIom Afraid of Delay.
 Senator Cullom, chairman of the com m1ttee on foreign relations, believes the treaties will be ratified, but he is free to admit that the newly developed senti- ment in the Southern states may cause considerable delay
 Regarding the question of Southern criticism, the senator said:
 At first sight it seems 1t hardly would be necessary to take into consideration this question at all. Of course our gov- ernment would rever consent to arbitrate anything which concerned the debts of our individual sovereign states. I have not examined the matter at all from le- gal standpoint as yet. Before we take up the question in the senate it will be necessary for us to look into the consti- tutional question, to decide how far the liabilities of state by any possibility can be made the subject of negotiations. It does not seem possible that the fed eral government by treaty in any way could force state to pay it's debts, whether just or otherwise.
 When the Italians were lynched at New Orleans We explicitly informed the Italian government that under no cir cumstances could the United States as- sume any responsibility for the failure of a state to protect it's citizens. In the same way the Federal government ap- parently has no constitutional right at all to make the subject of state debts a question to be settled by negotiation with foreign countries. If a citizen of the United States cannot recover from a state, surely no foreigner can recover. We cannot assume to give foreign na- tions any rights wo do not possess our selves.
 'I do not think Southern senators who have raised this question have any be- lief that this or any subsequent adminis- tration would make such a point the subject of negotiations. Nevertheless they may insist upon an amendment spe- officially forbidding such repudiated debts to be made the subject of any of these srbitrations'

BLACRS CLOSED ALL DAY-NEW YEAR'S-m0NDY. BLACkMAN WASN'T THINKING ABOUT BLACH'S
CUSTOMERS.

If you see a man smiling today the chances are he pays cash.
 lfyou're caught this New Year like the man in the picture, let the warning be ef- fectual. Swear off credit and you won't have to swear at 1t.
 Pay for what you buy-thenyou won't buy more than you need.
 Be happy like Blach's patrons-they wear the best clothing-Shoes, Hats and Furnishings-in the market, and pay less for them than any other class of men.
 You couldn't get credit at Blach's even if your first name was "Pierpont' and your family name "Astorblt," or if you had 5000 bills stacked as nigh as the Wood ward
 Blach's said that from June 1st 1905, they would do a strictly cash business no discounts to anybody. Blach's is the place to trade.
 You have to pay cash, but my-just think of the interest you pay when you get goods charged at credit prices.
 Resolve to pay cash-and stick to that resolution closer than the railroads do to our little union station.

twenty and King Edward twenty-one when they entered the state of matri- mony The Emperor of Austria and the King of Denmark, however, were both twenty-four. Royal brides indeed are nearly always of tender age. The late Empress of Austria and the Queens of Greece and Roumania were married at aixteen, and the late Queen of the Bel gians was only year older. Queen Alexandra was eighteen when she went to make her home in England, and the future Crown Princess of Germany is the same age. Her prospective mother-in- law married the Emperor William at twenty-one. which was also the age of the Kinc of Portugal's bride.

plest possible character and prevent any objections on the part of the people on this side of the water. Each treaty con tains a clause providing that questions which concern the honor or domestic affairs of any nation shall not be submit ted to arbitration except by consent or both parties.
 Surprise at Irish Protest.
 It was with considerable surprise, therefore, that some senators discovered the opposition of some Irish societies to the treaty negotiations with Great Bri- tain. It was well understood, however, that this opposition was traditionary and racial and that it did not in any way affect the general arbitration principle embodied in these treaties. For this reason no particular attention has been given this Irish opposition, although, Of course, it will have the respectful atten- tion of the senate committed
 What seems to be a much more for midable element of antagonsm to the treaties Is the discussion which has arisen in the Southern states whether, if these treaties should be ratified, the United States would not be bound, up- der them, to submit to a decision Of The Hague tribunal the claims of foreign holders of state bonds which were repu- diated after the reconstruction period by a number Of Southern commonwealths-
 When this objection was first brought to the notice of Secretary Hay he. was inclined to dismiss 1t as too foolish to be worth consideration. Foolish or not. however. 1t has been magnifed of late into serious opposition to actual ratifica- tion of the treaties There are only two months of the session remaining. and if any considerable number of Southern senators chose to fight the treaties It would be impossible to secure their rati- fication this winter, although possibly 1t might be done at a special session after the inauguration.
 South's Repudlation Factor.
 As every one knows, after the civil war, when the once rebellious states were reconstructed into full sisterhood. there was a disagreeable time, which which most people would like to forget. when colored people and adventurers from outside states issued bonds without much regard to the question of security. These bonds later were repudiated by most of the Southern states.
 It is these repudiated bonds which Southern senators fear may be subjected to decision of a court of arbitration If the pending treaties are ratified. They may insist on an amendment. If they do this might defeat the final negotiations of all the treaties, because they have been constructed with identical words, and the treaties made with six or eight foreign nations will have to be amended to suit the views of the United States. This may precipitate some amendments abroad and upset the entire fabric so
