If your "glory crown" happens to be
white and you still banker for the
up-to-date coiffure, then must you pay
for your vanity and right heavily. No
bought locks cost like white ones, that
is, II you want the genuine. An ounce
for SIS is not an uncommon price to
pay for a switch. However, much of
the white puffs and rats and pompa-
dours that are worn was once dark
and has been treated by chemical
baths to its snowy whiteness.
Abstemiousness Is great beauti-
fer. There is a difference. however,
between being abstemious and st&rv-
ing oneself. The latter practice. which
too often is the sole idea or dieting,
will soon produce undernourished,
anaemic women with pasty or broken
out skins.
When removing blackhead by pres
sure either with watch key or with
the finger tips be careful not to bruise
the flesh It is well to finish the OPP
GRAFTON with soothing lotion or
some aptiseptic bath.

Wife as a COMPANION.

A distinguished author says that a
woman who cannot read or write, but
who makes her home and husband
comfortable, is far better wife than
a girl who can speak six languages
and does not know how to cook a
dinner and keep house clean, says
a writer. Unless a brides brains are
turned to domestic account they are OF
very little practical use to husband
The fact that she Is a brilliant mu-
sician and a mistress of French and
Italian is poor consolation for burnt
chops and muddy coffee Talent like
charity, should begin at home, and
no woman can be called clever who
does not use her wits first toward
achieving home comfort and skilled
housekeeping At the same time
know many bride who la ignorant
Of book learning" shaky in her
spelling and 4 shocking housewife,
too! After all, to be clever and to
cultivate ones mind-without neglect
ing cookery and the domestic arts
makes a wife more charming COM
panton to her husband.

roc MycA FoR MAID,s NERvEs
New Girl Felt Herself Unequal TO
Elaborate Ceremony.

The young wife was perhaps the
most punctilious housekeeper in the
greater city. She fairly lived for the
annihilation of dust particles, and her
three maids knew a degree of disci-
pline more rigid than that of Gen.
Blucher. One day her waitress de-
parted, an exceedingly common occur
renee in even a fawless establish
ment. A new maid came to take her
place After an elaborate inquisition,
the new servant was engaged on pro-
baton. The young wife explained:
Come to the dining room with me-
You will have a rehearsal. want to
see you spread the table for a dinner
for four. Now go into the pantry
where you will find my table china on
indexed shelves. My forks are all
labeled and shall sit here. Now you
serve me--of course with blank plates.
l am having oyster cocktails, soup,
fish, an entree, a roast. salad, ices and
coffee"
The new maid groped through the
weird ceremony. and the foodless feast
proceeded amid silence. Finally the
maid whimpered:
Il guess 1 am going l couldn't do
this every night" She fed

Wells BOTH ODD AND PRETTY
Velvet Dot Is the Feature of the Win
ter Styles.

Certainly there are some odd but
very pretty wells this season. One no
ticeable feature of the winter wells Is
the velvet dot. Dotted wells have not
been seen for years. yet the new ones
are noticeable for the scarcity of dots
on one single veil, and the immense
size of the coin effect. One veil may
have single dot, two, three or five,
and no difference how marked, the
dots are conspicuous, though placed
where, as one dealer says, they will
do the least damage They are like
beauty patches, only much larger. One
must know how to adjust a veil of this
kind or the dot may appear on the
mouth, one eye, tip of the nose or
point of the chin, and it gives a quaint
appearance to the wearer. Other wells
are extremely thin, rather plain of
weave and daintily trimmed on the
edges with borders of satin, applied
or woven in the texture.

Neat Comparison.

On each of the "a times that he has
crossed the Atlantic, Lord Dunmore
has been the center of group of
travellers who enjoyed his ready wit.
During his last trip he and voyagers
were amused by the conspicuous and
odd figure of the ships surgeon-espe-
cially by the latters ample feet rem
dered striking by white tennis shoes
and by the very wide angle they
formed at the heels.

as the surgeon passed his group one

HAD TO MAKE THE SACRIFICE.
Question of Job or Mustache and the
Latter Went.

A man whose chief claim to good
looks was a luxurious brown mus,
tache not long ago applied for a place
in a wholesale dry goods house He
came well recommended and the man
ager was willing to employ him
Before settling the matter, how
ever" said the manager Il wish to
speak few words on a very personal
subject. l refer to your mustache. If
you accept this position you will have
to keep that shaved off. One Of your
chief duties will be to dictate letters.
Our stenographers claim that a heavy
mustache like yours prevents clear
speech and that the difficulty in under
standing is responsible for their ma
king many mistakes Once before a
man with a mustache like yours held
this job. Upon the united request of
the stenographers he had to cut 1t off.
l must ask you to do the same thing"
The man eyed his crowniug glory
regretfully, but as he needed the job
worse than he did the mustache he be-
gan work the next day with a smooth
face.

Verses.

Thy life may be bare and fruitless,
Thy name may be wrecked and wronged,
Thy heart may be cold and hardened,
Thy pathway with briars thronged,
Thy joys may be few and scanty.
Thy griefs may be deep and sad,
And yet, by a little exertion
Thou can still make others glad.
Thy deeds may be blessed with kindness
To the poor old mother weak
Thy arm may direct, in blindness
The path the aged seek.
Thy griefs may be lost in others,
For thy life to others given
VIII drive away LIES sorrows
! And guide you into heaven.

The Beuinnino.

All great poets, and some near-poets,
print their first poem. Usually, they
wait until the hue and cry of the ma
ton is at their heels, when all the
clamoring populace is hanging breath
lessly on their every word and the
keepers of the newspaper graveyards
are feverishly hunting through the dust
covered apertures for their portraits.
Then they point with pride to their
humble beginningi
1t is is-and-then-on-that"
stroke, sort of "beSore-and-after-
ing" coup d'etat. "See this poem which
wrote when mere child" and NOW
behold, the perfect gem of my maturer
Judgment"
Then the people look and throw a
fit!
|, too, once wrote first poem! Hav-
ing written several thousand In my
time, it was necessary to start some
whore, apd unlike the volumes printed
in certain magazines, started at the
beginning. If you are ready to fully
appreciate this boyish effort of
mine and are prepared to point to it
as the budding of great and subtitle
genius, l will take a chance and
spread it on the records. This is it
and by note at the bottom see that
''it'' was written for the rhetoric class
at the request Of a teacher:
His Future.
''Chod" Miles will be a poet:
feel II in my heart.
He'll write such pretty poems
That all the world will start!
I'm sure he'll write a poem
And call II lode on SPRING;
The folks will flock to buy 1t
And call him, Poet King!'
He'll wear a wig and slippers
And look so very neat
That youth will call him Father"
And tag his aged feet.
And after he is richer
He'll receive a lot of calls
And teachers will buy his pictures
To hang on the school-house walls!
Doesn't that show the spirit of
genius? Why, there absolutely isn't
a scintilla OF truth In that poem
viewed from the retrospective. "Chod"
Miles became drug clerk, never
wrote a poem in his life, nobody
flocked to see his wig and slippers, no
body left gold on his doorstep or
called to insinuate that they needed
his chrome to hang In state where the
willowy mind of youth Ia taught to
rhythmically repeat, "Amo, amas,
amat!"
Looking backward at the above am
free to confess that the beginning was
bad. The only grain of comfort can
extract is that number two seems TO
have some redeeming qualifications
and shows highly religious trend,
characteristic in my makeup which
you may not have discovered, simply
because you do not belong to my
church:

NEGRO BOY WAS
 RIFLING MAILS

Charged with stealing a mail pouch be- longing to Uncle Sam and removing there from two watches, Velma Baker, a 16- year-old negro boy, was brought to Bir- mingham yesterday by W. H. Fallon, Q deputy sheriff of Shelby county and spec ial officer of the Louisville and Nash vile railroad. He was turned over to Deputy United States Marshal R. A. Smith and given a hearing by United States Commissioner Reuben B. Watts, who. bound him over to the grand jury. In default of a $2O0 bond Velma will re- pose in "The Carbuncle'' until his case comes to trial
 He plead guilty to the charge and tes- tified as to the manner in which he had secured the sack. The deed was com mitted at Keystone, Ala, the sacks be- ing thrown from the train on the side opposite from that upon which the post master was standing. While the train was standing still, Velma picked up one of the pouches and hastily hid it. after wards cutting it open and securing two watches One of these watches he sold for 8 and the other he threw away be- cause the hands and dial were broken.

 ''orodspeed the Mungret College Alumni association. May the record of it's mem bers in this southland be more glorious in the future even than in the past.
 "EDWARD P. ALLEN, Bishop"
