SOUVENIR HAIR PILLOWS.

latest Manifestation Of Cushion Craze
Calls For Collection Of Trsssss.
The beautiful maiden advanced
stealthily. In her right hand she held
double bladed instrument Of threat
ening appearance. Its points were
sharp and Of glittering steel. She
poised 1t menacingly above the head Of
her lover, who in his blind alteration
made no sign of self defense. He was
resigned to his fate. He did not even
finch as she approached nearer and
nearer with the pair Of scissors, with
which she proceeded to cut OF q lock
Of his hair.
Thanks, Raymond" she said. "That
will have place OF honor in my SOU
venir hair pillow"
And Raymond grinned foolishly. The
youth was fattered. Why not? Ills

along with locks from the golden tress-
es Of Bertha Helen Jones, the raven
ringlets Of Luella Loveydove johnson
and perhaps a cutting from the curls
of the sweet creature who had just
clipped his own back hair for her
cushion.
This narrowing episode happened the
other day at Ossining, n; \. Ossining
used to be called Sing Sing because
the Sing Sing prison is located there,
but the inhabitants insisted that the
name be changed to Ossining. Until
the new pillow fad originated ct Sing
Sing that is, Ossining the town had
no extraordinary claim to distinction
other than its big prison save for the
fact Of Its Vocation on the beautiful
Hudson river and for Its preponder-
ance of pretty girls.
Now Ossining Is getting famous, for
some Of those pretty girls have origa-
mated the human hair sofa pillow. Up
to this latest invention the leather post
card cushion was all the go in Ossi-
ming and other centers Of culture. Now
the human hair pillow Is in the saddle,
so to speak. 1t Is in the saddle and
galloping madly to other points, where
It promises to become as popular az In
the place Of its birth.
The method is simple. How many
friends have you7 A hundred and for
ty-seven? Well, that's quite a-plenty.
II you collect the hair tax from all Of
the lat you will have enough Of the
hirsute clippings to make a fat pillow.
The girl who starts out after pillow
material must not get discouraged. She
must not take "No" for an answer. II
any rude man should be disposed to re-
fuse her a cutting Of his tresses she

man in Ossining AYERS that she has

pillow, all from her dearest friends.

to the call of the coroner The stom-
ach and intestines We're sent to a labor
atory for examination. An immense

weeks -

a few feet of the spot where the body

nearly every day since the disappear

the grass off the place four weeks ago
butssaw no signs Of the body.
The theory that the child had been
recently placed where he was found is
supported by the fact that Marvin, as
we'll as the detectives, stood on the
place where they burned the grass from
it. Further than this the marsh has
been .strampled over time and again
within the past week by eighbors, and
no sign Of the child was seen.
DR.. Marvin is convinced that his son
met with foul play, and that the body
had been placed in the marsh to give
the impression; that he wandered out
there and died. THE clothing showed
no signs Of having been burned says
DR.. Marvin. as would undoubtedly
have been the case had the body laid
there when the fire swept the marsh

BOSTON, July 13.-One of the worst fire

INSURANCE COMPANIES SUED.
Suits Based on Alleged Violation of
State and Trust Laws.

TOPEKA. Kan, July 13.-Injunction suits
were filed in the county district court here
today by Attorney General Jackson against
sixty-two fire insurance companies, charg-
ing them with alleged violation of the state
antitrust laws.
The suits are based on information fur
nished by Charles H. Barnes, superntend-
ent Of insurance. and seek to prevent the
companies from using the Eldridge rating
sheet In writing Kansas insurance. The
suits involve every fire insurance company
doing business in the state.
In his charges in affidavit filed by the at
torney general Mr.. Barnes says:
There Is In existence in the state Of
Kansas an unlawful arrangement. trust
and combination in restraint of the business
of fire insurance within the state of Kan
sas. The defendants are members of and
participants in such unlawful agreement
trust and combination. By means of such
unlawful arrangement. trust and combina-
ton the cost and rate Of insurance to the
citizens of Kansas Is arbitrarily fixed at
high and extortionate figures by one Charles
N. Eldridge of Shawnee county. Kan. who
Is general agent or other general func-
tionary Of some character who by COM
mon consent Of the defendants and by GER
tain unlawful arrangements. combinatio
and agreement between them is authorized
and permitted by the defendants to fix the
cost and rate of fire Insurance.
Mr.. Barnes alleges that competition is
almost totally abolished. and the rates and
cost of insurance fixed high as to be
prohibitive.
This is the same bureau which Webb Nc
Nall put out of business while he was SUI
perintendent of insurance. 1t was then
known as the Clarkson bureau. Eldrdge
was a clerk in the Clarkson bureau at the
time.
Judge A. w. Dana. who heard the attor-
ney generals application. later granted the
temporary injunction. The attorney gen.
eral announced that he would seek to have
the injunction made permanent. The court
did not set a date today for a hearing on
the application for permanent injunction.
The attorney general went further than
simply applying for an injunction against
the companies He specifically asked that
if the defendant companies fail to comply
with the orders of the court receiver be
appointed to take charge of the property
of each cOmnanV involved.
