WOMEN AND
THEIR HAIR

Women have great times with
their hair. III they visit In dry
climate they are sure to say when
they come home: my hair acted
lovely, 1t did not come out OF curl at
ALL"
III they go where IT is damp they
say when they come home: at was
the worst place for hair; my hair
was as straight as string all the
time"
Once In three or four weeks they
wash their hair and then they tell
each other how they cannot do n
thing with their hair, as II has Just
been washed. For a week or two
before IL is washed they say IL is a
disgrace they do not wash their hair
that II so sticky they cannot do a
thing with it.
The women are always telling
each other they look horrid with
their hair done low. or else they
would not be seen with It done high.
Their hair is either all coming out
or else they cannot imagine what has
happened, but It Is coming in thick
and lovely"
As they walk down the street the
women are forever reaching for
their back hair and catching up
short locks with hairpins, or feeling
to see II their hair is coming down.
When they get in front OF a mirror
the very first thing the women look
at Is their hair and twitch IL one way
or the other. No matter what any
woman has on her mind, hair takes
first pace.--Atchison Globe.

the Senator is much beloved In Mer-

DEMURRER OF THE MOUNTAIN
STATE SAYS ONLY BOND.
HOLDERS INTEREsrED

Washington.D. c., Oct. 1O.-West
virginia, through Attorney 0ensr-
al May has filed her demurrer to thu
suit OF West Virginia to enforce a set
uement OF the West virginia debt
question. The grounds upon which
the demurrer IL made are a. fol-
lows:
First--That tho Supreme Court
has no Jurisdiction I'm the case in-as-
much as II is simply a suit for the
payment OF money and that the
court has no power to enforce q
Judgment for the collection OF money
against sovereign state.
Second--The bill shows that vir-
sinla has no sueable interest mas
much as the real benencaries on the
suit are individual bond holders.
Third-Acts OF the Virginia iegis-
lature do not authorize proceedings
In this form and Virginia is simply
lending her name to individuals who
would have no standing on the Issue
presented.
Fourth-The bill OF the plaintiff
does not set forth It's alleged demand
with sufficient particularly that pro-
per answer can be made. The de-
fendant asks to be dismissed with
fully sustained. The court fixed the
flrst Monday OF next March an the
day upon which It will bear the ar
guments OF the dumurrer.

remony. There was no objection to

companied by several friends. On

ty started for the groom's home,

fused to self-act he attempted to
pull the hammer back. when his
thumb slipped and the deadly weap-
on exploded accidently, the bullet

One woman went out on the way to

And praised her beauty and gaped

But one little woman in holden gray
Went out to the suffering night and

And never for her was the trump OF
And never a cheer as she went or
One woman went. ont on the path OF

And the whole wide world praised
her lustrous eyes
And paused and listened when she
would speak
And marked the roses that graced
her cheek.
But one little woman In dingy black
Went down where the weary were
And carried the woes OF the sad and
And comforted maryland was un.

One woman set forth on the road OF
wrong.
They blazoned her deeds In a joyous
That told OF her daring, her charm
and wit.
And the world went humming and
singing It.
But one little woman in homely
Went seeking for sorrow about the

And smile came 10 gladden. where
