Monday Morning Fire.

The residence of ThOs. Kennedy, in
the northwest part Of the city, was de-
strOyed by fire Monday morning at
about l:SQ o'clock.
Mr.. Kennedy was sound asleep in his
room in the building at the time the
alarm was given, and on account of his
age and feeble condition, it was with
some difficulty that he escaped with his
life. Very little of the furniture was
saved.
The origin of the fire is not known.
The building was insured IN B. W.

HAIR MUST BE DRESSED FLAT
That Is Really the Most Important
Point of the Couture a la
Circassienne.

The fiat hairdressing now worn in
America is called the couture a la Cir
cassienne. This particular kind of ar
rangement has as many names at
tached to it as the modern turban.
There seems no end to these. Mop,
Sans Gene, Brittany, Moyen-Age, tur.
ban, are among some of the first that
greeted the couture. This much may
be said of it; there are more ways
of doing it than there are names
for it.
The requisite thing is to have II
fiat. How one manages this is ones
own secret.
No three hairdressers do 1t alike.
The hair may be loosely braided
and wound around the head, or it may
be twisted into a rope and placed
from nape of neck to forehead in
as near a circle as the head will
permit.
Again, 1t is arranged in a long puff
cap in the middle of the head and
luxurious ropes or braids of hair are
wound around this.
No hairpin must show except the
four huge shell ones that are to hold
the coils in place. There is no per
ceptible pompadour and the extrem
lists are endeavoring to make the ears
imperceptible.

DEBTOR EVER IN sHAcKLEs
Good Rule Is to Pay Cash, Keep the
Interest, and Debts Cannot Then
Accumulate.
He who is in debt seldom smiles.

He who is in debt seldom smiles.
There are debtors who are certain
of their debts and never lose sleep,
but there are debtors by the thousands
who are forced into the money marts
and who emerge with momentary re.
lief and a burden of interest on the
heart as we'll as on the money.
Debt makes many a line across the
face and brings age to a hurried au.
tumn.
The man who makes a debt should
be sure he can smile after 1t 10 made.
When the day of maturity begins
to round the home stretch and makes
its rapid strides to the line Of ma
turity-when the debtor counts his
dollars that he thought would be on
hand for his payments and finds that
they did not roll in as he expected
when the day of debt payment passes
under the wire and the man goes out
to pay for the race he seldom goes

his hand for any emergencies.

fits around and will not settle to re
pose on the slumberer.
Like death, the merchant and the
farmer who enter the list of debts
face the same penalties.
The well-fed man begins to lose his
buoyances. His eye is not full of met
tie and fire of former days.
The debtor feels guilty. Guilt will

FAMILY COUGH SYRUP
Cures Any Cough In Five Hours.
NEW PREaCRIPTIoN HERE.

Here is given the most effective
cough prescription known to the
medical world. It is a mild laxative,
too, and this is what body needs
when suffering with cough and cold
on the lungs. A cough or cold indi-
Gates poisons in the system, causing
Inflammation and congestion. Nearly
all cough syrups relieve, but make the
trouble worse by their constipating eff
fects. This prescription not only re-
lieves quickly, but it cures any cough
that is durable. Get one-half ounce
fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce
compound essence cardiol and three
ounces syrup white pine compound.
Mix in a bottle. Take for acute cough
or bronchitis twenty drops every half
hour for four hours. Then one-half to
one teaspoonful three or four times
daily. Give children less according to
age. A few hours treatment will cure
and heal the throat and lungs of all
but consumptives. Cut this out and
give it to some friend who may need
it to be saved from an early death by
consumption,

PoIIee Hoaxed by cIever Thlef.

Police foaNeu by CiSNeF MEL
The police of Essen, Germany, are
searching anxiously for a man who
has hoaxed them in a most fragrant
manner. Going with hand-cart to
the central police Offices, where about
fifty special officers are engaged, the
man said he had been sent by the
electric supply company to remove
the bulbs, and that they would be ex-
changed for new ones before dusk
He was allowed to take nearly 200
bulbs, and several of the officers ac-
tually helped him to remove them.
When darkness arrived and the new
bulbs were not forthcoming the police
rang up the electric light company to
remind them of the omission. The
reply was startling and left the police
very much in the dark" The COM
pany declared they had sent nobody
for the bulbs, and knew nothing Of
the matter; in fact, only fortnight
ago they exchanged the old bulbs for
new and more expensive ones. Then
it dawned upon the police that they
had allowed, and even assisted a bold
thief to make a rich haul from under
their very noses. Nothing has since
been heard of the thief, and just now
it is dangerous to speak about electric
bulbs in the hearing of an Essen po-
liceman.

Robbing curls, dancing on the head

appeal with an unending charm. 1t is

dressers have revealed to us all the
fascination of Curly Locks, as quaint

AS in many late coiffures for grown
ups, the hair is cut in a light, grace
full fringe across the forehead, writes
Julia Bottomley in The Illustrated
Milliner. For the little girl the re-
mainder of the hair is 'frizzed" in the
quaint old-fashioned way, half its
length. This is accomplished with
curling irons or by dampening the
hair and braiding it in several tight
braids half its length, and allowing it

band and buoyant bow as shown in

finish and takes the couture out OF
the simply childish class into the high

two short curls to the front and in
every way adds brilliance to the de
sign.

ups ION the dressiest of occasions)
the second couture is presented.
This couture is an arrangement Or
curls pinned down to the head, in fact
mass of puffs with one end free. The
hair is cut in light fringe across the
forehead and slightly curled. A por
ton is parted off and tied at the
crown of the head, where 1t is twisted
into knot and pinned down to sup
port the curls. The remainder of the
hair is parted off in sections and APP
parently tied near the head. Each sep
arate mass is then again parted into
strands and curled. The mass of big,
short culrs only needs then to be ar
ranged becomingly. They are placed
with careful attention to apparent
careless irregularity all over the back
of the head. Little clusters of cork.
screw" curls are grouped at each side,
where they appear to be held in place
by little jeweled ornament set with
pearls. Two strands of pearls strung
on wire extend across the head to the
! other ornament at the right side OF
the head. Narrow bands of velvet OF
satin fbbon might be used. An orna
ment of some description is essential
to this couture.
| The little cork-screw curls at the
side are made by separating fuller
curls into strands, parting them of
with the fingers. Coiffures by cour

Eor Your Panty Rounnet.

The stems of party flowers will not
injure the delicate party frock if they
be incased in a little tube-like cover,
made for the purpose, of oil silk.
These covers have been made of
chamois, but that is not imperyious to
water and the tinfoil in which stems
usually are wrapped will itself make
a discoloration on the gown.
The pinning on, too, will often tear
and pull the soft fabric and this may
be partially obviated by tying the
stems with ribbon-green, like the
leaves, if you do not want 1t to show
land pinning several of the loops un.
der the folds of the trimming.

The pattern is woven in such a way

black and cream. The black shadow
lace is used over the black net and a
white satin underslip. The cream is
effective over pale tints in evening
