STOP GIRL TRIAL MARRIAGES
Check Put on Practice of Young Women Living with Their Hus-
 bands for Short Time.

New York. - Trial marriages by young girls who, after living a short time with their husbands, sue for an annulment on the ground they were under legal age at the time of the marriage, suffered a setback when Judge Greenbaum of the supreme court dismissed the complaint of An nie J. Kruger in her suit for an an- nulment of her marriage to Henry Kruger.
 Justice Greenbaum decided that al though the girl was married at the age of F it was with the consent of her parents, and she must remain married unless she can show better reasons for wanting the marriage an nulled than that she was not yet IS when she entered into the contract.
 There have been so many marriages among girls who afterward sued for annulment on the ground they were under IS when married that the prac. tice has come to be regarded as some thing of joke among lawyers. The feminine experimenters with the law revealed that it is possible for young girls to enter into trial marriages, and after a short time have the contract set aside.
 In his decision Justice Greenbaum points out this plan in the laws. He says that in view of the number of suits for annulment by young girls on one preteXt or another he was con strained to look into the law careful ly, with the result that he denied the Kruger complaint
 who marries under the age of IS, without the consent of her parents, may have the marriage set aside.

Farmland Was Glad of Chance to Get $500 to Sign Away sirthright
 to Property.

New York-A remarkable story of how youth in poverty signed away his birthright to Manhattan real estate worth $l0,000 for $500 through the eff forts of one uncle, and was later found after q long search by another uncle who aided him to regain his rights. was told in papers that came before Supreme Court Justice Bisch- off, on which Justice Bischoff decided in favor of the youth.
 Mrs. Harriet Cramscy, who owned a valuable piece of property at Eighty fourth street and Lexington avenue, died in 1897, leaving a will in which she gave her property in five equal shares to her children, with the provi sion that if any of her children died leaving children of their own the par ent's share was to go to the children, but otherwise the share was to be di' vided among Mrs. Cramsey's surviving children.
 One of Mrs Cramscys children was Benjamin F., who was married in lS1. to Ella Burlington The marriage was bitterly opposed by the members of his family, but he lived with his wife for about three years and then left her, giving up his son, J. Edward

MAN SIGNED AWAY $lO,OOO

Cramsey, who was about year old at the time. The husband drifted so far away from his wife and son that just before he died in 1902, he had lost all track of them. Then it became neces, sary to make some disposition of Ben jamin's share of the estate
 George c. Sterling was convinced that Benjamin's son was living and employed several persons to find him They found him living on a little farm in Dover N. J., with his uncle, Charles Harrington. The agents of George c Sterling traced the boy to this farm.
 The person empowered to negotiate with young Cramsey had no trouble inducing him to take $500 for so sim ple a thing as signing his name to piece of paper to clear the title to certain property and prevent the fore closure of a mortgage. Cramsey was so glad to get the $500 for Lie sigma ture to what proved to be the oeed to his $l0,000 property that he gave $50 of it to the man who had brought it to him. He used he money to put headstOne at his mothers grave and tO add to the farm equipment.

HOARDS IN PRISON

great personal risk When the last man had left Killion returned to the runs. entered the workings and dld much to save the mine from destruc- l tiOn
 ! A communication of his sentence was asked. but sentiment was still strong
 ly against him in the town from which
 he had been sent to prison, and the
 effort to free him failed.
 He had. however, ingrattated him self with the authorities of the prison, and life was made as easy for him as possible. He was one of the few men who never had to be driven to work. Not once in 15 years was he known to break the least of the rules. Final ly he was given an opportunity to study and he improved it.
 About that time. in 1900, Kansas City began the rebuilding of a conven- ton hall that had been destroyed by fire. One of the schemes for raising funds rapidly was a guessing contest, for which a capital prize of $10,000 and several others ranging from 5000 down were offered. Killion in vested $15 of his prison savings in tickets and sent in 30 guesses. He won the second prize of $5,000.
 A short time afterward distant relative left him SLIGO. He gained considerable fame as the wealthy convict" Lawyers swarmed to him with offers. Others suggested that he would get an absolute pardon for $1,000 Others asked from $500 to $500 to get him out of prison. Killion saw the humor of the situation and offered $50 down and $500 upon re- lease There was a noticeable falling off in his mail and list of callers.
 Killion continued his prison duties cheerfully, and in 1908 the prison pardon board finally took up his case anew on the recommendation of the warden. A parole was decreed to take effect this month, and Killion has been released with his fortune, to be- gin life on again

SAUCY COLONEL COOLED OFF
Retired Army Officer Had Mania for Making Epcurean Sauce in
 Hosts Bathtub.

New York-"He was using the bath tub in which to manufacture epicurean sauce when we got back from our va cation, said Charles R. BOndy, steel salesman, in Magistrate Houses liar lem court The he" he referred to was Col Moses Phillips, U. s. A.. re tired, portly gentleman with snow white hair, who was accused of chas- ing Bondy and his wife out of their home with a knife.
 It was like this:
 Bondy and his wife went away on vacation, giving the colonel the free dom of the flat. Now the colonels one delight is his epicurean sauce which is not only deliciC usly palata- ble, but excellent for the digestion ' But it didn't quite satisfy the cpl curean tastes of the portly colonel at that, and he wanted to improve it. While the Bondy family was away he labored in the kitchen wrestling with pans, pots and kettles. When the Bondy family returned even the bath when reproached, was saucy He was saucy in court also, so Magistrate House gave him two hours in the guard house, vulgarly known as the jail, to allow his spicy temper time to cool.

By JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

By what gift of the gods did the Greeks arrive at the most beautiful of all the innumerable styles of dressing the crowning glory of woman? If they had not demonstrated their superlorl- ty in discovering ideals of beauty in other directions we would have to concede that they were first in the art of the coiffure
 Three modern examples built upon ticle from an artist who has no SUI perior. They are at once eXqulsitely beautiful and simple and have rightly been named the "Daphne,' the "Di- ana and the Psyche" coiffures. There is nothing intricate or impossi- ble to the amateur in their construc- tion, and a little study reveals that they are suited to heads of various contours, designed to improve their outlines where they are not perfectly regular
 When the wearer has an abundant supply of hair the Daphne" and the the Psyche" might be arranged with | would be difficult to arrange the stately Diana" without a braid of even width its entire length and heavy enough. A small thin braid would not produce the right effect and few women have hair enough to use so much for the braid and have | enough besides to form the knot of curls at the back. These coiffures are [ all arranged with a piece placed under the natural hair about the face and a cluster of short curls pinned on at l the back. It is much more conven- l tent to arrange the hair with these, l even if one has sufficient hair to do without them.
 This front piece is called a puffy fluffer," and is somewhat like the | longer pompador supports which have | formerly been used. It is of naturally 1 curly hair and can be combed and ar ranged like ones own hair. It does not come out of curl It is made in several widths, depending upon the amount of extra hair needed in making the coif- fure. The curls also are made up on supports and in several sizes to be pin2ed to the coil at the back. Ii carefully selected to match the natur al hair exactly, these pieces give the most satisfactory solution to the prob lem of dressing ones own hair each day.
 To arrange the Daphne" the front hair should be parted off and waved (by rolling it on rollers over night or with the curling from 1T large, loose undulations When it is curled, comb it forward and pin il out of the way until the remainder ot the hair is combed back and tied al the back of the head. After tying ar range the back hair in a rather firm soil to support the coiffure. The Daphne" requires the widest of the puffy fuffers. This is pinned abou

the head with several small invisible hair pins as one pins the foundation for a pompadour After adjusting this support comb this hair in with the front hand and bring all back to the knot which has been previously ar ranged Pin the ends in very loosely until the front arrangement has been completed, so that the hair may De pulled forward easily, if necessary, when adjusting the bands The Daphne" requires three bands. They may be of jet, shell, metal ribbon, beads, in fact great variety of these pretty ornaments are shown at pres ent. Place the first band properly ana arrange the hair about the face De- comingly. That is, pull 1t more or less forward, and make 1t more or less fluffy to suit the face. Then place the second band. Take the comb and pull the hair into pun be tween the two bands, then place the third band and arrange the second puff If the bands are fastened to- gether they may be adjusted and the hair pulled into the even pulls re quired afterward. The short full curs are next pinned to place about the knot of natural hair. Pin few of them down to form puffs and use invisible pins for these and also to keep the remaining ones in the proper position.
 The Psyche" shows a parted coif- lure arranged with a smaller puffy fuffer at the front and a full cluster of Psyche curls at the back. Arrange the natural hair and pin in the front piece as for the Daphne" In cOmbing the front hair back part the natural i hair in front at the forehead and pin a little of it over the almost invisible | foundation of the puffy fuffer. Pin the hair securely about the knot at the back and lastly pin on the cluster of curls. They are very easy to adjust as they are made fastened to a foun- dation. These dancing curls make this a very youthful and fascinating coiffure. The beret or long band, in l Greek key design, and the little tri- angular headpiece may be had in | rhinestones or in other designs. A l beret of some sort is an essential part of this coiffure. The little headpiece may be omitted, but on a well l-shaped head it adds a superb finishing touch
 It is shown in pearls and in jets also
 The quietest and stateliest of these beautiful coiffures is the Diana" If one has a plentiful supply of natural hair the front will not need the founda. tion, otherwise the hair should be ar. ranged as described for either of the
 two preceding styles. Instead of orn- aments, however, Diana" braid with curled ends is pinned about the head,
 the curls pinned in at the knot in the
 back. The Diana" and the Daphne"
 styles are most suitable for those
 whose heads are less shapely than that pictured in the Psyche" Coiffures

Murderer Saves S6,50O While
 Serving Time in Kansas.
Entered Penitentiary PenniIess Six teen Years Ago-Saves Several Lives and State Buildings and
 Is Proclaimed a Hero.

LeayenWorth, Kan.-A convict who entered nearly sixteen years ago, pen niless, has just left the Kansas pris- on with a fortune of $6,500, $500 of which was earned while behind prison bars, observing the discipline in every way
 The money allowance made to con victs in Kansas is two cents a day, or $16425 for 15 years, so that no such sum as Phillip Killion took with him from the office of the Kansas prison warden could have been accumulated except by outside effort.
 From another point, Killion leaves the institution hero, while the en- tered it a murderer. He goes out to d farm and prosperity with as good record as ever man made behind the bars The secret of his wealth is that he inherited SLIGO while in prison, and won $5000 in a guessing contest nine years ago. The money was invested for him and added a req sonable amount by interest
 In 1892 Killion, then young farm CT of Wellington, Kan, shot and killed a town marshal with whom he had been very friendly. Killion was in toxicated and auarrelsome, and the in reference of the officer caused him to lose self-control. He was convicted of murder in the second degree and sen tenced to serYe g years
 A few years after he was confined he discovered a fire in one of the prison factories. Without outcry he risked his life and, unknown to any one except a few guards, extinguished the blaze. The warden of the prison, on leaving, gave him a letter which vouched for the fact that Killion' s bravery had saved the state S100,000 and probably some lives
 few years later Killion had just reached the top of the coal mine when a fire alarm sounded. He volunteered to re-descend and bring out the i'm prisoned convicts. This he did at

COLOR ON THE KERCHlEF
Gray and Brown Shades Are Used for These Women's Dainty Ac-

Gray and brown are mysterious colors to have foothold in the hand kerchief field, but they've done it. These shades were first shown in the larger sizes for men, but soon were caught up by the makers of women's dainty accessories, who fastened them on to the prettiest qualities among women's kerchiefs. A plain gray ground is shown on some of the all over handkerchiefs; brown and gray squares are curiously placed on otb. CTS.
 narrow border of brown hem, stitching or an edge of tiny hand made scallops done in soft cotton is again the attractive method of intro. ducing the color.
