of history, when they are bad they
are horrid, and naturally the enor-

in cheap and inferior quality of curl
being placed on the market with more
prodigality than discretion.
When you do your hair in the strict
lily Empire fashion, bunch Of ring
lets at the top, tied with ribbon, is
an indispensable adjunct, but I pray
you be sure the ringlets match your
own hair, and that they be of fine
quality, and above all things, that
they do not reveal the method of their
adjustment with too great frankness.

Parting the hair in the center is
specially attractive to the mere mas.
culine, but should not be attempted
unless nature has been generous, for
thin parting is not sweet sorrow,
but sad sight. Better far the false
fringe when well applied.
! am always tempted to wish wo-
men would not color their hair, since
I find, in this instance, at least, that
nature knows best, and the wrinkles
OF time, or even the lines of middle
age are less clearly marked under the
influence of dull locks than bright
ones, but this I know to be a gospel
which there is no use in preaching.

The most striking novelty in the

This is distinct Paris novelty, which

Owl Claws Boy.


Moorhead-A big white owl was re-
sponsible for the severe injury of a
ten-year-old boy named Crume yester.
day afternoon.
The boy was playing in the streets
near his home, carrying the big bird
on his arm. Suddenly it fastened it's
long sharp claws on his wrist, the tall
ons entering nearly to the bone. The
little fellow screamed with pain, but
held tightly onto the other leg Of the
bird, fearing that it would grip him
with the other claw.
Oscar Cederberg heard the boys
screams and hurried to his assistance,
wringing the OWLS neck. He then
with great difficulty succeeded in
loosening the claws of the dead bird
from the boys arm, the blood squirting
from the wounds in a stream. The
doctor says the boy will recover unless
blood poisoning supervenes.

telling them that 1t was more than It
really was.
then told each man and woman
that expected to plant 400 acres in
corn and would pay the men 600 and
the women 900 day for their labor,
and that two days ont Of each week I
would expect them to work for me in
this corn and that would pay them
cash every Saturday night, which I
did.
soon found that I had plenty Of
labor at all times. By doing this I
made easily one bale of cotton per acre,
though 1t was q rainy year with water
from one to six inches deep up to the
10th day Of May.

work harder in order to have time TO

corn from their labor. had one
family with two men, one woman and
two boys large enough to pillow, that
made seventeen 500-pound bales Of
cotton.
AS long as a planter follows this
line he will always have plenty Of la
Dor who are at all times perfectly sat-
isfied. Besides, he has plenty Of corn
to feed about 80 head Of hogs in his
lot. With plenty Of fat hogs he can
kill and sell them in his store for cash
as he pays off always taking in at
least third of his weekly pay roll,
and by selling for cash, cheap enough,
he will get sometimes half as much as
he pays out. He can sell this fresh
meat so cheap that market at his
neighboring town cannot compete with
him. This method keeps plenty Of
men on your plantation at all times
for dltching, clearing and fencing and
all other necessary work.
