ing home from the bedside of a
sick parishioner some little time before
he had been run against on this very
corner by a man rushing out of the
gateway in a state of great agitation.
This man held something in his hand
that glittered, and, though he en-
counter nearly upset them both. he had
not stopped to utter al apology, but
stumbled away into the darkness In a
dazed and feeble way. showing that he
was neither young nor active. The
minister had not been able to see his
face, but noticed the ends of a long
beard blowing over his shoulder as he
hurried away.
Philemon was a clean shaved man.
Asked If he could give the time Of his
encounter, he replied that 1t was after
IL and before IL, for he was in his own
house by IL.
"Did you look up at these windows
before leaving?" asked Mr.. Fenton.
for this interview had taken place In
the presence of the lead.

'Were the shades up?"

stable.

Dear Madam:
VIII you please tell me if peroxide of
hydrogen kills. the hair, Il If not how
to use it. Ny hair is light, but streaked
with two or three different shades. Is
1t meant to be used with water, and
how much, and how shall | apply 1t to

to oblige me. MRS. e. r.. y.
Peroxide of hydrogen is a bleach,
and if used to any extent will destroy
the growth of the hair. Unless you
want to bleach you hair I would not
advise you to use 1t, and If you do use
it you should have some competent
person do the work, as it requires skill
to keep the hair from ~streaking. 1t
is not unusual for people with light
hair to have two or three colors show
through it, and if l We're you l would
let 1t grow naturally without applying
dyes or chemicals. Keep your scalp
we'll cleaned and the hair we'll brushed,
massage the scalp and expose 1t to the
sun whenever possible and you will
have better results.

Than Other States

In twenty years from now, when Okla
homa is working up her own raw material
into manufactured articles for the con-
sumption Of her people and her farmers
have a good home market for farm pro-
ducts, We will look back with wonder and
disgust at the year 1908. when we were
Obliged TO send all our farm produce
abroad and import our manufactured
articles.
One reason Why we have manufactured
so little in the past is that so few people
knew where there was anything to manu-
facture. The Oklahoma Geological Survey
has men at work on the problem. and re-
ports soon TO be published will show that
0klabon.a has vat undeveloped resources
Of many kinds Of luable minerals. Prof
Gould, the director Of the survey, is very
sanguine regarding 0klahomas future as

factufe Of larger amount Of valuable
articles than any other state in the
