BALDHEADS' HATLESS CLUB.
Omaha Organization Promoted by q
Doctor Finds Immediate Favor.

The newest organization in Omaha.
Neb.. to clamor for recognition is rap
idly becoming the most popular. Its
name is the .'Hatless club" and only
men who are baldheaded can ever
hope to become members
The prime mover and organizer OF
the Omaha Hatless club is DR. u. d..
Clark, who published a notice in the
city papers Il few weeks ago inviting
all baldheaded men in Omaha TO meet
at his Office. He expected about TWEEN
ty-five to respond, but there were more
than 200.
DIR. Clark was elected president and
W. W. Slaubaugh secretary and treas
urer.
1t is not to be supposed the Hatless
club is organized merely for fun. The
members have other motives. the prin-
cipal one of which Is to grow hair on
heads where ii does not grow now. No
patent lotions or medicines are to be
used to coax the hair. The sun and
air are to do the work.
The rules of the club provide that
every member shall go bareheaded or
else wear a hat with the crown cut
out. He may carry Il hat in his hand
and tip it to woman, but he is pro-
hibited from placing it upon his head,
no matter what the occasion may be.

engaged IN missionary work in China

When told of. the murder OF Elsie

There is nothing strange that the
Chinaman should kill his young teach
en-" said Mr.. Studd. 1t is not only
foolish. but wrong. TO allow young
Christian women to teach male Chi
nese 1t must always be remembered
that the Chinaman has the idea that a
woman has no soul. Let young
woman undertake to teach China-
man Christianity. and his opinion OF
her at once becomes lower. During
my ten years in China always taught
the male Chinese, and when my wife
| was associated with me in the work

| the Chinese women. A woman con-
stantly faces danger when she under

Dr. Studd went To New York from
London to attend the conference OF

returned to London from the orient
