Trinidad. Col. Nov. 13-Miss Kath- erine Vosbaugh, who for nearly 60 years passed as man. died at hos pital in this city Monday. Miss Vos- baugh was born in France S3 years ago.

 While in St Joseph she married a woman with whom she lived for over 30 years The woman was in trouble and Charles" Vosbaugh married her to protect her.

FAILURES WERE FEWER.
Improved Financial Conditions Reflect ed by Falling Of in Commercial
 insoIvencies.

New York, Nov. 10.--R. c. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says that there were fewer commercial failures the United States the week ending November 9. than for the previous two weeks refecting the improvement of conditions as forecasted in the re ports received up to Friday night. The failures of the week numbered only 232 as against 273 last week. 252 the preceding week and 172 the core spending week of last year.
 Another encouraging and satisfac- tory feature of the failure report is that only 76 of this weeks failures in- volved liabilities of s5.000 or more as against 93, involving those amounts last week
 The financial storm which broke in October, and which now seems weath- cred. as viewed by the returns for the first week of November showed it's ef feet in the liabilities of commercial failures during the month. They az gregated s27,414,990 as against $10,- 553. .714 in October, 1906.
 Scarcity of money. unreasonable weather and the holidays, combined to make the volume of business smaller this week than usual but the situation is more encouraging because of mere general belief that the financial storm is being weathered remarkably we'll - says Dun's Review.

HOW Do YOU WEAR YOUR HAT?

Prof. Fl. Gross, of the psychological
laboratory of the university at Leip-
zig has issued a pamphlet on criminal
psychology, in which he makes num-
Der of observations on the way of wear
ing the hat in its relation to character.
A hat worn evenly around or perpen-
dicular to the vertical axis of the head,
is sign that man is upright in char
acter, but pedant and something of a
bore. Those who wear the hat a little
on the right side are said to be amiable,
gentle and humane; those who wear it
on the left are fond of games and sports,
and usually of gambling, The hat on
the back of the head is said to be a
proof of recklessness, and usually of
debt, and the further back it is the
nearer the wearer is to bankruptcy Oh
| Jail. A hat that is worn well down or
the forehead indicates the egotist or q
man of sulky disposition, in which sci
fishness is the dominant trait. If the
hat is worn lightly on the top of the
head, it means that the character O
the man is fluctuating, variable, AM
impressionable; if the hat is large an,
firmly adjusted, it means keen sens
: of business and energy of action; if tn
same hat slopes to the rear, it mean
8 that the wearer is alive to all bushes
y opportunities and will miss none of then
