HoRSEHAIR SWITCH
Used BY colored Bellies as an Aid to
Beauty.

From the New York World.
II will be a sad blow to the colored
swain of high society to learn that the
black mark of suspicion was cast on the
let couture of some of the bellies by
court trial in Brooklyn.
II was brought out in that trial that
there is a wide market for horsehair
among the colored bellies of the town so
big that the Society for Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals has taken action on
the ground that horses are subject 70
cruelty to crafty the vanity of ladies in
high society of Darktown. Live hair Is
wanted. II, must be black, and 1t is
put through process that makes the I'M
itation so much like the real article that
If the colored beau has not a sharp eye
for calibre he is deceived by the crown
ing glory.
The trial was that Of john Bunting, Il
stable hand at No. 446 Hudson avenue
Brooklyn, charged by an agent of the
animal society with having subjected
horses to cruelty in pulling hair out by
the roots from their tails. Bunting said
he had been doing 1t absent-mndedly Tor
some time, and had gathered stock OF
some two pounds--a quantity that would
add wondrous beauty to any coiored
bellies toilet.

He said he wasn't.
Isn't it fact that there Is a demand
for live horsehair for the manufacture OF
switches?'

attended a social function by remarkns
that they wore the customary soier
black society editor of a weekly paper
in Indian Territory deals individually
with the feminine gender as follows:
Mrs. Hayes, whose statuesque figure
was shown to advantage in a costume of
pale green crepe, seemed the embodiment
of the spirit OF some long lost summer
or the genius of some east forest cathe-
dral, who walked through her domains
in the security and majesty of her own
beauty.
Miss Lyman Davis in white silk and
Duchess lace, seemed the very incarna-
ton of the snow queen.
Miss Pearl Hayes, in a delicious con-
lection in two shades of lilac, brought
to us a vision of when the spring is
young and the air is freighted with the
breath of those fragrant blossoms.
Miss Jennings, in silvery pink, resem-
bled nothing so much as one of her own
La France roses.
Miss Ivey of Sallisaw, Wore a gown Of
Dalest heliotrope, with conventional gar
niture of black velvet ribbon and pearl
embroidered lace.
Mrs. Perry, in white organdy, spangled
with pink roses, recalled the May time,
when all the world seems strewn with
roses.
Miss Ider, in costume of red-yes,
just uncompromising, unequivocal red
was an object to gladden. the eyes of all
beholders. But, like the shy Kentucky
cardinal or brilliant orchid of the Bra
LILLIAN forest, she seemed alike uncon-

Our Most Humiliating War.

From "Osceola, the Chief of the Semi
noles," by Lynn Tew Sprague In The
outing Magazine
AS we have said. but for Osceola there
would never have been any Seminole war
at all, and all things considered, his
career marks the most humiliating war
the United States ever engaged in There
were less than six thousand Seminoles,
men, women and children, in all Florida,
when holtiities began with the murder of
General Thompson by Osceola. That
great chiefs cunning, capacity and cour-
age had cost the nation no less than
thirty millions and the lives of three SOL
diers for every Indian brave that he led.
Such an appalling record of destruction
stands against no other fighter on all our
frontiers.

They not only afford safe storage for in

Some of them are built In behind the

close the door. Others are simply built
into the wall and the combination lock

Tuna a Mighty Leaper.
From "The High Leapers," by Charles
Holder in The Outing Magazine

Holder in The Outing Magazine.
Exactly how high a tuna can leap It is
difficult to say. | have seen the water
beaten into foam by them four miles dis
tant, and have a photograph showing Il
fish--a black streak at least mile dis
tant. high in ARA jump of certainly ten
or fifteen feet; and 1t is my opinion,
based on what ] have seen, that 1t is pos
sble for lusty tuna at full speed to pro-
ject itself twenty feet into the air and
thirty or forty feet in horizontal direc-
ton. | Judge the latter possible from the
leap of a big tuna which cleared the
kelp and landed high on the rocks at
Santa Catalina. | have often stood in
the center of a school of leaping tunas
and watched them; but the situation is
not one suggestive of repose or peace of
mind.
