HERE'S TOEVERYONE OF THEM
All Worthy Men Wish Many Happy
Returns of Their 18th Birthday.
Whether the Waitress BE Red-head
ed or "a BIue-eyed Blond, We
All Admire Her.

The manager Of a New York restaurant
is being advertised widely because he has
announced that he prefers mattresses with
auburn or red hair, for the reason that
they are most attractive to men. says the
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Everybody knows that girls with auburn
or red hair, whether they be mattresses OF
not are attractive to men-very attrac-
tive. Everybody knows, in fact, that a
pretty auburn-haired or red-haired girl
Is the most attractive creature in the
world, except IL be a pretty light-haired
girl, or what We have all come to know.
70 admire, and to love. as a blue-eyed
blond
Let a restaurant manager advertise
that he prefers blue-eyed blonds as
Mattresses, and he viii do fully as well
IN the matter Of securing an advertise
ment and the patronage of men as the
manager Of tDe New York restaurant in
question.
There Is, perhaps. no creature on this
beautiful earth as charming as the light
haired girl or the blue-eyed blond. unless
II might be the auburn-haired OF red
haired girl, or the girl with the nut
brown hair. II the manager Of a restau-
rant should advertise that he preferred
all applicants for places as mattresses To
be girls with nut brown hair, the ad-
vertisement which he would get would
be beyond price, and men would flock to
his restaurant from all directions.
For there Is no creature in this lovely
world Of ours that is more lovely than
the girl with the nut brown hair. espe-
cially If she have hazel eyes, unless It be
the girl with the auburn hair. the girl
with red hair. the girl with light hair. the
blue-eyed blond, CT the girl with coal
black eyes and raven hair
Let a restaurant manager permit il TO
be known that he prefers as mattresses
girls with coal-black eyes and raven hair
and. in fact. viii employ no others. and
he VIII get an advertisement that money
could not buy, besides an amount Of male
custom such as he could not have dared
to hope for in his most sanguine mo-
ments.
For there is nothing more enchanting
In this world than a girl with coal-black
eyes and raven hair, unless it be a girl
with auburn hair. or red hair. or light
hair, or a blueeyed blond. or a girl with
nut brown hair. OF a pretty girl whatso-
ever whether she be of a pronounced or
a mixed type, or any girl Of any com
plexion, so long as she is good; for, bless
them, they are all admired by men, re-
gardless Of the color OF their eyes or
hair. whatever may be their occupation.
OF whether they have any OF not.
And the disposition Of men just at this
time is 10 wish one and all Of them a
happy New Year, and as many returns
of their nineteenth birthdays as they may
deem necessary until they shall begin to
have their twenty-ffth birthdays, when
it is sincerely 10 be hoped they viii not

jolly Squire Peiffer, of BerI<s Coun-

Justice of the Peace Daniel NJ.
Peiffer. chief executive of Cumro town

with the penknife Last week he called
at the recorders Office in Reading and
presented the entire staff cleverly

Philadelphia Inquirer.
The jolly 'sqUire's courtroom, where
he metes out justice. is filled with hun
dreds of objects made by his skillful
blade. He has been a justice for
eighteen years, serving his first term at
Sinking Spring, where he became IA
nous as a whittier, and since then he
has whitfield himself to fame in Berks
County. From youth he has been a
mechanic. and, having first learned his
fathers trade, blacksmithing, he finally
began to whittle away upon memen-
toes. Soon he had whitfield complete
miniature set of blacksmith tools. all
the sizes and styles Of horseshoes he
used to make even the anvil and the

He has carvings that he made from
wood picked up at Johnstown after the

HABITS OF THE SEMINOLES.
Peculiar Life OF Indians Driven Into
the Everglades OF Florida.

The Seminoles live in the Everglades,
not from choice, but of necessity. be-
cause they have been driven in by the
white race, In olden times they farmed
lived in towns. and had orchards and
herds of cattle, says the Southern
Workman. The white race has diven
them away several times. Now they
hunt and live on islands. where the
mortality among the infants is fright
full.
They are a very clean. moral and
physically superb race, perfectly able
to take care of themselves If left
alone. These Indians wear calico
dresses of many cOlors. like Joseph's
coat. All the men wear short skirts
with balloon sleeves. 1t is a very SEN
sible dress, for they live with water all
around them at ali times of the year.
The women wear long skirts and
highly ornamented jacket. The oniy
thing about their costume which could
be thought Objectionable Is that the
men wear any number of handkerchiefs
around their necks. The women wear
many yards of beads wound around the
neck. The older the woman the more
beads she wears. ! saw some with a
wad of beads extending from the ears
to the outside of the shoulders wad

TO be out for a holiday. They are a

are of the finest quality. How they can
buy such good articles can easily be
understood when we remember that
otter skins bring $3.50 each. One
young Indian told me he had caught
thirty-five otters this season.
Some Of the families have sewing
machines and clocks. and nearly every
Indian has a good watch and a purse
They know the value of money. and
