Civil Service Commission Opens
Door for Capitol Salaries.
The state civil service commission
has decided to exempt from the pro-
visions of the civil service law bona

may hold any state positions paying
not more than $85 a month and the
latter may hold positions paying not
more than SIS month.
This action. members of the COM
mission declare with some emphasis,
does not mean that students will be-
given state jobs for their political pull
as~has been the practice in the past

Tots Wearing False Curls

not accept with folded hands and meek
submission the fact that her darling's S
hair has wilted appearance on a
sticky day. Resignation is one of the
Old-time virtues. Instead of accepting
the fact gracefully the modern mother
looks for a remedy, with the result
that the poor child is dragged to the
hairdresser's and has her natural hair
matched to a couple of curls warrant
ed to stay in distinctly spiral outline
regardless of the humidity of the at
mosphere. Q
According to the testimony of those
who know, many mothers are now
purchasing false curls for their small
children, and many a topknot bow of
bright-hued ribbon conceals the divid-
ing line 'twixt a little tots own hair
and couple of store curls. Those
experienced in the business of match
ing hair say that it is almost impossi-
BILE to get just the right shades to cor
respond perfectly with the tints OF
childhood. They are very different
from the usual shades bought in false
hair, and matching a child's hair per-
fectly is considered the work of an
expert-so say the authorities in this
branch of business.

NERVOUS DEBILITY
A Scranton Woman Tells How Or.
Williams Pink Pills Made Her
Well and Strono,

Nervous debility is the common name
for what the doctors term neurasthenia.
It is characterized by mental depression,
fits OF the ''blnes," or melancholy, loss
of energy and spirits. The patients eyes
become dull, the pink fades from the
cheeks, the memory becomes defective so
that it is difficult to recall dates and
names at will. Some of these symptoms
only may be present Or all of them The
remedy lies in toning up the nervous
system and there is,no medicine better
adapted for this purpose than DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Jane J. Davies, of No. 314 War
ren street, Scranton, Pa, says: "Some
years ago / became greatly reduced in
health. and strength and my nervous
system became SO debilitated that felt
wretched. 1could not rest or sleep well
at night and woke up as weary and
languid in the morning as was when I
went to bed. My head ached in the
morning and often there was a pain in
my right side which was worse when 7
sat down. My nerves were on edge all
the time, every little noise bothered me
and was generally miserable. Then I
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, as my husband had taken
them with good results, and they did
wonders for me. Now I have no more
pain in my side, no more headaches, I
sleep well and feel strong and able to
do my work.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Davies and they can do just as much
for other weak, pale, ailing men or
women who are slipping into hopeless
decline. They strike straight at the root
Of all common diseases caused by poor
and impoverished blood.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will he sent postpaid, on
receipt of price, so cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams

Natural Hair Matched with Braids

false hair habit. One of these was
seen the other day seated in front
of large mirror in a fashionable
hair.dressing establishment, patiently
watching the selection Of just the right
shade of hair to match her own golden
locks, says the New York Times. The
clerk and fond mamma were super
intending the matching process, and
the owner of the little golden head
looked tired and sleepy. She was not
over five or six years old, which any
one will admit is really a trifle too
young to be vitality interested in such
a grown-up question as the matching
of false hair.
Investigation revealed the fact that
such youthful victim is not at all an

Rupture Of an Engagement Due to

The. engagement between wealthy
Baltimore belle and an. impecunious
clubman Of that city was at one time
last winter perilously near the "break-

the unfortunate mistake of florist's
assistant Of whom the young man had
ordered flowers for his beloved.
; It appears that the young fellow had
hastily dispatched to the florists es-

order for roses to be sent to the
young lady's address and the other
intended to. be attached to tho dow

cup. She said that would be on a
throne; though I didn't think any
thing about it until after my betrothal.
But it was quite odd about the king.
When he went to Grenada some time
ago and visited the Sacre Marie they
wanted him to kiss stone in one OF
the underground caves, which is sup
posed to insure your marriage within
a year. He refused at first, because
he said. he wouldn't be able to choose
a wife because Of being in love, so he
would prefer not to lose his liberty SO
soon. But finally he consented to
please them, and not long afterward
we met. Now he says he is very glad
he kissed the stone"

LOOSE TEETH

digestive organs take it up into the

all We can, If we ever find him again"
Right, my darling! I've been a
pariah and an outcast myself long
enough to be glad to hold out a. hand
to a poor beggar in the same case.
After all, i ~ doubt. he hasn't had a
chance in life-some people get the
kicks while the rest of us are having
the half-pence. If he'd been in my
shoes and in his we might have both
been different sorts. Anyhow. it
seems to me that there's more to be
done in the way Of helping to life up
the submerged lot than in giving them
shove down. We'll look on Jex Bav-
erstock as our mission, sweetheart,
you and I, shall we, and see if we can't
set up those steppfngstones Tennyson
talks about, with us to lend hand?"
And up country, close to the little
fortified camp not so many score of
miles from Colenso, the same radiant
sun that streamed above them as they
stood hand-in-hand together there
shone tranquility on new grave. It
had been dug a week ago, after a firing
party tramped gravely and soberly
back to town. 1t was mere freshly
turned strip of earth, pounded down
hard on the still and silent form below
it. There was neither stone nor raised
mound to mark the spot where the spy
had fallen and gasped, out his last
breath. 1t had been hard to prove,
after all, that change of prisoners
too hard to the slow, heavy inte1li-
gence of the captors who had tried and
sentenced and were now carrying
their sentence through to the end.
They found the man in the morning
whom they had left over night. What
matter that he protested he was some
one else, and demanded that he should
be kept back from punishment till his
words could be proved? It was the
last poor subterfuge Of a man who
was afraid to die-a subterfuge as
foolish as it was futile. They shook
their heads, grimly and remorseless-
ly, and wondered at the weak folly
that could expect plea like that to be
even listened to.
And SO they marched him out under
the shivering chill of the opal sky,
quivering into new day and smiling
as pure and undefiled as the first morn
ing that God made in Paradise and
called good. They left him a reverent
minute or two to say his prayers in ii
he desired it, but he seemed to have
no prayers to say. AS the east blushed

Or the short, sharp order sounded, and
the rattle and snap of the rifles cut

ceased man was lying face down

where the flowers smiled

his breast thin gold chain and a
pearl-set heart-a trinket too graceful
and frail for such a hiding place. 1T

said, quietly, and they buried it with
him scrupulously. The sun was risen
in blaze of glory as the silent firing

the red earth lay disturbed and rough

the world about took UP its sweet and
