a face. It is to be hoped the time is
far distant when the modern belle
seeks to rival her great-great-grand-
mother, who used to plaster herself
with all sorts of monstrcsities cut
from court plaster.
One fair Marquise of the Court of
the Grand Monarque appeared on one
occasion with a coach and four at the
corner of one eye. and a knight in full
regalia to emphasize the dimple in
her chin.
There is an art in putting on a
beauty patch, and the girl who thinks
to make herself lovelier by sticking
on bit of court plaster at random
has need of a course of experiments
before a triple mirror.-New Haven

Records OF Snowfall Valuable.

has established snow gaging stations
in the Rocky Mountains. The
amount of snowfall in the Rocky
Mountains determines the amount of
water in many of the principal rivers
of the West, and therefore bears a
direct relation on the floods that de-
vastate the Middle West at times.
Moreover, many vast irrigation enter
prises depend for their success upon
the amount of snowfall in the noun
tains. In order to keep accurate and
dependable records of the amount of
snowfall, and therefore to forecast in
a measure the amount of water that
may be expected from the mountains,
these stations have been established.

Baby Boy Had Intense Itching Humor
Scratched Till Blood Ran
Found a Cure in Cuticura.

"Our son, two years old, was afflicted
with rash After he suffered with the
trouble several weeks l took him to the
doctor, but it got worse. The rash ran to-
gether and made large blisters. The little
fellow didn't want to do anything but
scratch and we had to wrap his hands up
to keep him from tearing the flesh open
till the blood would run The itching was
intense. The skin on his back became hard
and rough like the bark on tree. He
suffered intensely for about three months.
But found a remedy in Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. The result was almost
magical. That was more than two years
ago and there has not been the slightest

TEACH CHILDREN POLITENESs.

Unless children are we'll hammered
they are constant source of annoy
ance and trouble to every one with
whom they come in contact, and as
their manners are wholly matter of
training, parents cannot begin too
early to instilf into their minds ideas
of politeness.
1t is said by foreigners that Ameri-
can parents are not good disciplinar-
ians, and that American mothers are
quite Indifferent to the need of plant
ing in the offspring at tender age
the seeds from which good breeding
grows. This critical foreign view
point is unfortunately often true and
to be deplored, and there is no more
effectual way of eradicating it than
by united effort to make children
acceptable models Of department.
This does not mean to educate them
into self-conscious little prigs, but it
does mean to teach them the essen
tials of politeness, kindness and
thoughtfulness, which will become a
part of their natures and will affect
their conduct for good throughout
their lives.
One of the most important facts to
teach young children is that their
place in the household should always
be secondary to that of their elders.
To allow little ones to appropriate
the most comfortable chairs, or to
take the centre of the room, claiming
attention and Interesting the CONVEX
sation of older persons, is to indulge
them in deplorable selfishness.
1t is now obsolete for children to
say eyes, ma'am," or mo ma'am," in

Miss Essie Brewer Won, with Miss Maud Gardner Secord Precautions to Assure Fair
 ness Please All.
THE FINISH.

The Stars big subscription-gettini contest ended Saturday night, a. scheduled, when the ringing of ar alarr, clock created a thrill among the young lady workers and a crowd of their friends and partisans who filled the office and crowded the sidewalk in front.
 Immediately MT. Louie K. Stewart who, as representative of the Gilli land Syndicate of Shreveport, con ducted the contest, called for repre- sentatives of the contestants tt come forward and act as judges in the counting of the ballots. Mis-. Brewer was represented by Lige Alley, Miss Gardner by w. E. Wat kins, Miss Ross by her father, E. E. Ross. and Miss Ola Lewis by Frank Jones. Miss Dell Cox, Miss Anna Wood, Miss Dulcie Cranor and Miss Hattie Retting, who had been given considerable support by their friends, had given up the contest and were not represented at the close.
 At o'clock in the afternoon each of the contestants had checked over the votes turned in up to that time and had signed a statement approy- ing the count. All votes turned in after this was done, were in plain sealed envelopes, no one knowing what they contained save the per sons turning them in.
 The large, plain envelopes were opened and the contents, envelopes containing the ballots with names of subscribers, money for subscriptions, with number of votes, amount of money and name of contesl ant there on, were placed in separate piles. This done, they were opened, the correctness of the figures verified by count and the totals figured, after which to the total turned in in this manner was added the number of votes represented by the signed statement, held by the judges. When all had been counted and verified, the announcement of the winners was made. Before the counting of votes began, the announcement was made that gold headed umbrella would be given to the third highest contestant.
 The system by which this contest was handled is controlled by the Gilliland syndicate of Shreveport, La. and is being used in many places. It has been carefully worked out to in every detail assure absolute fair ness to the contestants and all con- cerned. No votes are sold under any circumstances, and every dollar turned in represented bona fide subscription to The Star. This fact and the fact that no contestant nor her friends knew how many votes any other contestant had until the count was made, did away with any chance for anyone coming in at the last moment, and with such knowl- edge, securing enough votes to win All these features combined to bring the interesting event to close in 2 most pleasing fashion and without the least feeling of dissatisfaction oi Ill will so far as known.
