TALES OF THE TELEGRAPH 4

New York must sometimes be as
dull as country town. Anyway, the
New York papers used big black
headlines on their first pages for an
item stating that when Police Lieu
tenant Thomas Palmer was sitting at
his desk one day last week, his chair
slid from under him and he fell
heavily to the floor, but was not
hurt. The New York papers also,
give a good deal of space to the fact
that John Judge, a New York saloon
keeper, died in his saloon and at the
very moment of his death the saloon
clock stopped.
A Pittsburg, Pa, court has decided
that the courts cannot compel man
to take a bath The children of j..
NJ Stratton had thrown him out be-
cause he never took bath, and the
courts compelled the sons to take
him in again. The father formerly
lived in st. Joe, where, presumably
he got into the habit.
Mrs. j. f. Myers, a New York
woman, is very i'll with nervous
prostration, and this is what the doc
tor did to insure perfect quiet. He
had her removed to the top floor of
a hotel, This is becoming a noted
cure for nervousness in New York,
where they make all sorts of discov-
cries. 1t is found that on the top floor
of hotel with a nurse and button
boys to keep guard, an invalid is al
most inaccessible to her friends.
Henry c. Frick recently gave a
coming out party in Pittsburg, Pa,
for his daughter, and only fifteen
young men attended This is a town
of 375,0 900 inhabitants and shows
that everywhere the men are serious
in their revolt against dances and
other society affairs. And when
young man refuses to go to dance
there is more hope that he will
amount to something in business
way
Daniel Walter, of Chicago, asks
the court for emancipation His wife,
he says, makes him cook and scrub
and clean, and he wasn't allowed
out of the house alone at nights but
once in seven months, and then
found her waiting with revolver
when he got home.
Missouri preachers are agitating
a movement to make Illegal mar
riage ceremony performed by an itin-
Grant preacher, probate judge, or
a Justice of the peace. They claim
that these fly-by-night affairs result
in divorce. Not word is said about
the loss Of the marriage fees, oh no.
Every woman in Lake BLUM, H.,
has been provided by the authorities
with horn. Should burglar appear
she must throw open window and
blow 1t. Her nearest neighbor Will
then ring a church bell, and the fire
marshal will ring the firebell. Then
two policemen and bloodhound
will rush forth. The city authorities
recently issued these instructions.
Mrs. William E. Benton, OF Poor
ia, got an undertaken a florist, and
pallbearers to make the funeral OF
her pet poodle an imposing affair,
but she couldn't get the band. And
somehow, hereafter, we will have
greater respect for band players.
The Rev S. B. Dexter, Of Aurora,
III cant have very good sense. he
says that flirting in public play
house Eve have noticed that preach
ers never say 'theatre") is wicked,
and leads to sin, but that flirting In
church, owing to the holy influence
around, is not only not sinful, but
he sanctions 1t as means OF bring

Play Better Than Book.

The dramatization Of "The Trait
orr by Claiming Pollock and Thorn
as Dixon, Jr., is another illustration
OF the fact that ofttimes play is
much stronger than the book upon
which 1t is based. Although Mr..
Dixon's latest novel has been widely
read and greatly enjoyed, 1t will be
far more popular in its dramatic set
ting. While the characters are the
same the dramatic features have
been naturally accentuated and elab-
GRATED and many new and stirring
ideas have been added to the story.
This dramatic sequel to THE Clans
man" is said to be FAR greater play
than its widely-discnssed predeces-

MICROBES IN THE SCALP.
The Latest Explanation ~ That Mi
crObes Cause Badness.

Professor Unna OF Hamburg, Ger
many, and DR.. Sabourand OF Paris,
France, share the honor OF having
discovered the hair microbe.
Badness is not caused through a
few weeks work Of these hair MI
crobes, but is the result OF conditions
brought about by their presence.
Badness may not occur until years
after the microbes began work, Dut
II is certain to come sooner or later.
The microbes cut on the olood

fer about the root OF the hair,
through which the blood Is absorb
