BALD-HEADED BRIDEoRooms
They Are Fine Citizens and It Is To
Wonder the Girls Like
Them.

An esteemed contemporary has
opened the columns to a discussion OF
the question why do educated and
refined women marry bald-headed
men?" and men with and without hair
seem to be considerably agitated over
1t. Even women are joining in the
discussion, and there are as many ex-
plantations as there are correspondents.
None OF them. however. explains, says
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Il Is the form OF the question evi-
IDENTIFY that confuses. l. presltaes too
much and the presumption is accepts
ed as established by the wrangIe-
they do not question the premise.
Educated and refined women do not
as a rule marry bald-headed men,
though they do sometimes, when hey
cannot catch them earlier.
The question deals with particulars
as generals. II should be: Why do
women marry men?" And he answer
to this, If We do not confuse the is
sue by the citation OF examples, OF
which we remark: What On earth
did she see in him?" is simple.
Women marry men to get husbands.
Men marry women to get wives. Fat,
lean, young. old, hirsute and bald, all
marry for the same reason. 1T is not
good for man to live alone"
Anyway, why should the bald mead
be brought into the limelight in his
spectacular way? Is 1t not conspicu-
GUS enough as 1t is to attract much un-
desired attention without forcing the
issue?
Bald-headed men are worthy citi-
zens. They must be, for they are al
ways under inspection. A bald head
is a light that cannot be hid under
bushel. II may not conceal itself. II
It frolics somewhat gayly. the world
says: Behold you shameless one!"
A bald head must perforce seek vlr-
tuous ways. There are few or no bald
headed villains. They are scarce as
fat beggars.
Let not the finger Of scorn be point
ed at the bald head for that he mar
ries refined and educated woman"
II is to his credit. The bald head sets
an example that the hirsutely rich
might emulate with profit. The tald
head is the symbol OF lofty citizen
ship and 'shines" like a good deed
in a naughty world.

Our society takes daily lessons in
the art OF perfect rest. We relax and
we unbend and we teach one another
how to get rested.
Our teacher is a pupil Of Betz. the

INDIANS GROW CARELESS.
Inspectors Sent by Government to
Get Baby Population for
Enrolment.

Muskogee, /. THE passage OF the
Curtis bill has stimulated work on tha
Dawes commission. AS soon az the biz
is signed by the president there will
be seven field parties sent into the full
blood sections OF the Choctaw, Chicka-
saw, Cherokee and Creek nations to
enroll the babies who were admitted
by the Curtis bill. These field parties
will be our two or three months. They
will work exclusively among the full
bloods.
The mixed bloods will hasten in to
the land Offices fast enough to get theiV
babies enrolled. The fullblood parent
does not know there is such a thing as
the Curtis bill. and he does not care
whether he or any Of his children get
land.
Schedules Of the babies will be made
and forwarded TO Washington as fast
as they can be secured. AS soon as
they are approved alloting will be
done. This will be rapid work. Those
who come in to the land Offices will get
selections OF land, and those who do
not come will get arbitrary allotments
wherever the commission sees ft to
locate them.
This new work will mean an in
creased force on the commission. There
win be three people in each party. and
they will go to the post Offices and
small towns. II is not believed that
they will have TO camp out. as did the
field parties when the commission en-
rolled the adults.

WOMAN AMBITIOUS AT 1os

That She May Take Care
Of Them.

Lancaster, Pa.-0ne OF the Oldest Of
living Americans is Mrs. Elizabeth
Hunt, Of Brooklyn. N. Y. who will be
LOG next summer If she survives till
then, and who, though born in Ian
caster, was comparatively unknown
until she was discovered by a visitor
from the city.
There is no doubt about Mrs Hunts
age. She has her fathers German
Bible, with its birth register, to prove
IT, Born in the last days of the
eighteenth century, before George
Washington died. she has lived in the
time Of almost every administration.
and a cnat with her is like coming
face to face with the birth Of the
American republic.
On August 81, 1900, this venerable
woman first saw the light and drew
her first breath in what was then the
little borough OF Lancaster. She was
the first born of Frederick and Susan
Babel, and her father was a German
immigrant, the proprietor of bakery.
Just about 101 years ago, when Eliz-
abeth was in her sixth year, the fam
lily removed to New York.

SENSIBLE SUGGESTIONS.

Charcoal is said to strengthen and
whiten the teeth, remove the tartar,
prevent toothache, and give the gums
and lips an attractive character About
as much as can be placed on the point
OF a knife should be rubbed gently
into the interstices of the teeth on
going TO bed, TO be rinsed out thor
oughly In the morning.
To improve your hands, use only
soft soap for washing and a good toilet
soap. Before drying rub on a few
drops OF pure glycerine, work into tAe
skin thoroughly. and then dry care
fully. Keep the pulp OF a lemon on
your washstand and with II rub your
hands once or twice a day after wash
ing.
Never wash the face just before GO
ing out OF doors. or directly after
coming in, IL the skin is inclined 10
be sensitive.
Another thing to remember is that
the face and hands must be thorough
ly dried with the towel before ventur-
ing out. Neglect of this will be sure
to make the skin tender, and perhaps
unsightly.
The value Of rain water. The purest
water met with under ordinary cir
cumstances is rain water, which is GER
tainly a great luxury to those in
towns for washing. II It were fully
appreciated how valuable rain water
really is. the dwellers in our large
towns would see that it was not al

ness which characterizes spring water,
feels soft to the hands, forms a beau
tiful lather, and agrees we'll with the

DO not wash the wooden bread plate
in hot water, and It will not turn

No Holiday.

People have different ideas as to what
constitutes a holiday--or a vacation.
Mrs. Pettis had her own firmly fixed
opinions on the subject.
Il don't count Thanksgiving or
Christmas OF Washington's birthday or
any Of those. holidays" she said. frank
ly, to an old friend one day. What |
count a holiday is when Ezra and Jim
and Bob and 'Liphlet go of up to the
wood-lot with their dinner. and know
they won't be back TIL night.
I'm not one to deny that men-folks
have their good points. but how any
woman can call 1t a holiday when
they're in the house, calling for food by
looks when they aren't by words, is be-
yond mel"-Youth's Companion.

American orchestrna.

Felix Weingartner, the noted COM
poser-conductor, in commenting on
American orchestras. attributes their
great success to the fact that they are
cosmopolitan in personnel, whereas
European orchestras, excepting pos
sibly those in England. are largely ma
tional. He thinks French playeru the
most skillful in the wood-wind, the
Germans in the brass. The American
orchestra conductors seek the best
players available without regard to ma
