Secondhand Hair.
From the Pathfinder.


One of the old poets remarked that -

he had lived in our day and seen the
plateaus, promonotories and mountains OF
matress-like hair creations affected by
our most stylish ladies he would have had
something different to say on the subject.
no doubt. This hair business is interest
ing from the plain commercial point of
view. The Secretary OF the Treasury tells
us that in the last fiscal year $437. 591 .23
worth of human hair was imported into
this country. This included all shades
and qualities of capillary vegetation.
Italy, Hungary, southern Austria, Spain
and China furnish the heavy black shades,
while the finer light-colored varieties
come from northern Europe. Blond hair
comes very high, but white is the cost
Hest of all. Ladies' rats are very COM
monty made on q base Of coarse hair Sc
cured from Cinnamon who are degraded
enough to cut of their queues.
Thousands OF travelling merchants make
II regular business togo about to coun-
try fairs and through the small villages
OF France and Asia collecting hair. There
is often spirited bidding to secure a spe-
cialiy fine head Of hair presented by some
handsome young damsel, and i'm many big
families OF girls the annual hair crop is
counted on as quite cash resource,
though 1t takes several years to grow a
good product. Most of the hair that Is
imported Is filthy, and 1t Is believed that
serious diseases are communicated by this
means. Nevertheless there is an 4nsistent
demand for secondhand hair. even among
some OF the finest ladies in the land, who
would not wear anything else that was
secondhand to save their life.

agined himself slowly starving to death.
The strength ebbed from him, and in his

father and mother arose.
I'm starving, I'm starving" he cried,
holding out his hands to the father and
mother, with the vain hope that they
would minister to him-as they had done
through all the years of his childhood.
Then he remembered that his brother
Charles owed him $165. He wanted 1t
much and wanted it then. With nervous
fingers he wrote a scrambled note and
sent it to his brother, whose reply was
an offer to let him him have 500 right

Judge Mullowny listened to Joseph
Frost's story attentively. He denied
nothing. but reiterated that he needed
the money for Doctors bills and food.
The judge sent him to hospital and
directed that later he be taken to a sani-
tarium in the hope that he can be rid Of

COMMISSIONER LEUPP TO QUIT
WILL NOT HEAD INDIAN BU-
REAU AFTER MARCH 4.
Probably Will Be an Author of Red
Mems Literature-Friend of
Many Chiefs.

When President Roosevelt retires from
office on March 4 next the Department Oh
the Interior will lose the services of its
present commissioner Of Indian affairs,
Francis E. Leupp. Mr.. Leupp announces
he will quit the government service when
the administration changes.
Mr. Leupp, well known in Washington
as a veteran newspaper correspondent be-
fore he entered upon the duties Of his
present position has been commissioner
Of Indian affairs for a little more than
four years. For a long time prior to his
appointment by. President Roosevelt Mr.
Leupp had been a close student of the In
dams had written great deal about them
and had worked hard in their behalf as
the Washington agent of the Indian
Rights Association. 1t was because Of
his special qualifications that Mr.. Roose-
welt asked him to become commissioner
Probably there is no man in Washing
ton who is personally acquainted with
as many prominent Indians as is Mr..
Leupp His work before he became COM
missioner brought him in constant con-
tact with Indian chiefs all over the com
try.
One Of his oldest and closest friends
is Geronimo. the old Apache. who, in
spite of one of the blacklist records ever
carried by a human being. civilized or
savage. is now a mild sort OF citizen.

before he entered the government serv-
ice Geronimo walked twenty miles to see
him.
Quanah Parker, who died recently at
ripe old age. the richest Indian in
America was another Of Leupp's "side
partners" 1t was due to Leupp that the
six famous chieftains came to Washing
ton for President Roosevelt's Inaugural
ton and rode in the parade dressed in
full war regalia.
Since he has been commissioner, Mr..
Leupp mas given all his spare time to
the study of the history Of the various
Indian tribes. 1t is understood that when
he retires he will begin writing a series
of articles on Indian questions which are
expected to be Of great value to the
literature, historical and otherwise, of the
North American aborigines.
