And Now the City Must Pay For"
Fort Elmore" Which Fell Down

IFransiola and never paid for IL.
Transiola sued Thompson & Lang
ford. the bonding company. and
also Gilmore and the city. The
city demurred. saying the job was
not finished. never had been ac-
|cepted. and the city had not re-
ceived the property. The lower
court sustained the demurrer.
The lawyers for Fransiola adj
mitted the city was not liable In
the brief to the supreme court.
But the supreme court in its
wisdom said nobody else was LA
BILE. They dismissed all the rest
of the defendants and saddled the
whole thing on tho city, which the
attorneys for the plaintiff admit
ted was not liable.
The court went on the suppo-
sition that the city had the bulk
head. But II is not there. There
is nothing there but the same old
gravel pit--only minus Gilmore.

She also asks for alimony for the
support of herself and two minor

She alleges desertion and nom

young squaws robbed her of her

Della and James were married In
1902, and lived together happily
until the summer OF 1908. when,
she states in the complaint, Susie
Kopletz and Ruth, Indians, named

A Domestic Tragedy.

There Is a domestic tragedy which
takes place in many households when
the daughter comes home from finish
ing school or college. and that is the
displacement of the mother.
Mother in many cases is positively
reIegated to the background. Her
ideas, her ways of housekeeping, even
her friends are deemed old fashioned.
The daughter has learned all the new
fads in school or at ~college-she fairly
takes possession of the house and pro-
ceeds to ~renovate it. She receives in
stead Of mother, she monopolizes the
conversation, she pours the tea, and
she gives the orders to the servants.
Mother does not come into her own
again until this very up to date young
person is married and has gone from
the house for good.

Dick Preston settled back comforta-

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Gray hairs will have their way when
they get a good start. and nothing will
stop them except sometimes scalp mas
sage.
An important beauty consideration
is the poise of the head. 1t should be
tipped slightly backward so as to make
the eyes seem larger. Lowering the
chin causes wrinkles and also has a
tendency to form a double chin, which
is a special bugbear of every woman.
thin or fat.
The virtues of a few drops of es-
sence OF peppermint are well known,
and one writer even asserts that it will
gradually cure stomach troubles. 1t Is
a most harmless remedy to give to
children who do not seem to assimtlate
their food. A few drops on sugar is
the easiest way to give 1t to children
unless you can make the large white
mint drops.
Glossy hair generally indicates that

thoroughly brushed with the usual if-
" SLTOb every udy IA NhO oN"'P
massaged regularly. Brilliantine is not
used so much to impart q gloss to the
hair as to keep short hairs from blow
ing about the face.
For burns and scalds there is moth
ing more soothing than the white of an
egg, which should be poured over the
wound. 1t is softer than collodion as
a varnish for a burn and, being always
at hand, can be applied Immediately.
It is the contact with the air which
gives the extreme pain. White of egg
excludes the air and prevents infam-
nation.
If a double chin has made its ap-
pearance, one of the best exercises for
remedying it is to lift the head as
high as possible, then from the point
of the chin with open hand press firm
ly down, keeping the head thrown
backward at the same time. Battle
the chin and throat frequently with
cold water. Another method is to ap-
ply some good skin food. pick up the
flesh in tiny folds and roll 1t firmly
between the thumb and forefinger. this
having a tendency to dissolve the ex-
cessive fat cells.

Old, but True.
There is No truer axiom than 4Famil

There is no truer axiom than "Famil-
iarity breeds contempt"
Many a woman has wondered why
her friends did not treat her with more
respect. The secret lay within her own
self.
She was always confiding her person
al troubles and petty humiliations. She
told all about her husbands business
and how he didn't understand her and
was cross to her. In other words, she
was posing all the time in a mean, I'M
1attering light. Then she was sur
prised hat her friends did not look
up to her and treat her with the same
distinguished consideration they gave

All affection, whether of friendship

Wanted to Warn Him.

Sir Algernon West tells this story IN
his "Re~collections:" One day the late
Sir George Campbell, who had a very
strident, loud, rasping voice. called On
Sir Algernon, who was then secretary
to MI. Gladstone. to talk over the land
question.
After he had been in conversation
about three minutes the office keeper
appeared, bearing the card of an NJ. T.
who, he said, was very anxious TO see
Sir Algernon. The latter said he was
sorry to be engaged. In another min
ute he appeared with the card of a
well known peer who was most de-
sirous to have a word with him. Again
the latter said be was too busy to see
