for instance, . little-known fact that
the slanting Mongolian eyes are really
perfectly straight. It Is only the
eye. accentuated by the extremely
slanting eyebrow. that gives this de-
ceptive appearance.
1t 10 easy to see. therefore, why
the beauty of the eyebrows is OF i'm
portance to her who would aspire to
good looks in any form. 1t is neces-
sary that she keep them in good con-
dition. fostering any good feature they
may possess and correcting whatever
faults they have. She should first Of
all consider Just what shape, thick
ness, ETC., Of the eyebrows would con-
stitute beauty. and then devote her
self to the reaching OF that point.
The perfect eyebrow is in form ap
arch. not too high, yet distinctly
curved. 1t should be rather thick
than thin. yet excessive thickness is
the worst defect 1t could show. The
two eyebrows should be perfectly dis
tinct, with not even one hair between
them, and yet not SO far apart as to
show poor mental caliber. They
should be Of shade slightly darker
than the hair, bu.. not n0ticeably SO.
Finally. they should match the color
of the lashes exactly. W
Perhaps the most common fault Is
excessive thickness OF the brows, &C.
companied by a number of wild hairs.
There IL but one cure for this condi.
tion--removal with pair Of tweexers
The operation causes no more pain
than when q hair is pulled from the
head. and may be performed by ones
self. Use ordinary small tweezers,
such a. physicians employ to pick up
surgical cotton, and pull out one hair
at time. taking care that each really
comes out. and is not simply broken
OF. --,
OF course. this treatment will not
destroy the hair follicles. but with
perseverance these. too. will go, and
tia hairs will appear NO more. II
any itching or amartlng Is felt after
the pulling. apply little cold cream.
but remove as soon as the pain
ceases. Is otherwise you defeat your
own object. cold cream having ten.
dency to raise hair.

MIR. CAFFERY'S STATEMENT OF

From the New Orleans States Of

given ont yesterday:
"Ihe case i'll which Lieutenant Gov
crnor Sanders was charged with shoot
ing man. III the parish Of ST Mary,
has been much discussed and | have
found it necessary at times to correct
various exaggerations concerning it. |
have mentioned to Mr. Sanders that /
would state the facts whenever called
upon | am now called upon, and
make the following statement: In that
case Mr.. Sanders was charged with
shooting Frank Petitpain. with intent
to commit murder Petitpain did not
die of his wound, but lived to commit
suicide some years afterwards by Jump
ing III the river at New Orleans.
This happened in 1888, when Mr.
Sanders was about I8 or 10 years old.
He was tried in the district court at
Franklin in September 1880 before
Judge A. {. Allen and Jury He was de
Tended by Senator Foster, Philip II
Mentz and the late Senator Cafery
The district attorney was Walter J.
Suthon
During the progress ftle trial the
State announced that it could not make
out its case, and the Judge directed the
jury to bring i'll verdict of not guilty
which it did Petitpain testified against
Mr. Sanders and exhibited bis wound to
the jury, to show that it was in the back,
near the spinal column, and claimed that
when shot he was in full and peaceful
retreat
Mr.. Sanders showed that he had
been struck in the mouth by Petitpan
and claimed that Petitpain had used a
brick i'll striking him; that Petitpain's $
assault, in renewal of a prior difficulty
was sudden and unexpected. ana was
from the side or rears that Pettpan,
as he delivered the blow, turned and
ran, and that Mr.. Sanders. as he was
falling. drew his pistol and fired. The
night of the shooting Mr.. Sanders start
led on horseback for Arkansas and Indian
Territory. where he lived under the
name Of w S. Perkins for about ten
months. after which time he returned
voluntarily and surrendered for trial

Mr. Lowe engaged in the sale If hard
ware, guns and bicycles.
The fire originated from match
which had been dropped on the con-
crete floor and upon being stepped on
was lighted. A spark from the match
fell on some oily waste which hared into
"a blaze. A negro nearby, greatly ex-
cited, threw on this burning waste a
pan containing gasoline, believing it to
be water. The blaze spread rapidly and
was soon beyond control.
The department responded promptly
TO the alarm and rendered effective and
efficient service. The heat and the
smoke were intense The fire was con
fined to the building III which the blaze
originated
On the second floor Major Allen,

by smoke and water.
The building is owned by H. r. Doll.

SL.ANDERTNG THE PRESS
The Charge Is Far Fetched and Entirely
Too Thin to Be Effective Among the
Voters.

The Colfax Chronicle in an editorial
Hiding Behind Subterfuges,' says;
The stock in trade of the opposition
to Mr.. Wilkinson has crystallzed into
two main items. First, they ridcule him
for expressing his beliefs in cerain
combinations. Well, he has stated facts
and given the reasons upon which he
bases his beliefs, and those facts are not
disputed, nor is any reasonable explanas
ton offered: and the public which is
from Missouri" would like to be shown
a few things about it.
Second, Mr.. Wilkinson is accused of
slandering the State press. The charge
is extremely far fetched and entirely
too thin to be effective among the
voters. 1t is based upon what he said
in his Baton Rouge speech. and we give
his exact language here, so our readers
can see how little ther is in this charge.
He said:
1T may be unwise for candidate to
talk against the newspapers, particularly
against a combination of newspapers, a
sort of electric connection reaching from
Shreveport to Baton Rouge; sort of
double Dromo arrangement SO that
both can Jump when the same string IS
pulled. and one editorial, with the
change of few words, be made TO serve
at both ends of the line If the one in
Shreveport coughs, the other III Baton

wide awake when any thing advanta-
geous to my opponent, OF anything pre-

when the sweet perfume of luscious

breeze.

pendent, and whose eyes are not blinded
