We enjoyed a laugh over this clever ism and I proceeded to say:
 ''Now, tell me, Mrs. Porter, what do you do with the women who come up here with just hair enough to make a knot the size of an electric button?'
 We can manage either with small amount of hair, or a great deal, as the case may be. That is one of the se- crets of the art of correct hair dressing, and besides there's no reason for the

Depot Situation Officially In
spected BY Railroad
Men.
WILL BE IMPROVED.
Stay In the City Was Brief
and Condition of Streets
Complimented.

President Milton H. Smith, Chair
man Houston Of the Board of Direc-
tors, Supt. John w. Logsdon, Road
master Starks and two or three 9TH
er railroad officials visited the L. N.
depot Thursday for fifteen or twen-
ty minutes and made an official in
spection of the depot and it's sur
rOundings. They arrived in a special
car in the afternoon. President
Smith asked for no conferences and
did not discuss his plans except to
explain that important improve
ments were contemplated and one of
them would be the removal of the
coal switch west of the depot and
the cleaning up of the vacant
lot now used as a coal yard. In con-
versation with Agent John G. Hooe
he complimented the cleanliness of
the streets around the depot, which
were in striking contrast to the
unsightly condition of the railroad
property. Mr.. Hooe had scrubbed
out the old shack in anticipation of
his coming, but it must at its best
have made the visiting officials
ashamed of their depot facilities.
Mr.. Logsdon, gave out the infor-
nation that an early decision would
be arrived at in regard to the ina.
provements to be made in the spring
The private car went north from
this point.

THINK RISK SHOT HIMSELF
Police Believe officer Accidentally
Dropped His Own Gun.
DON'T THINK PRowLER SHOT HIN
This Conclusion IL Drawn After Ex-
animation of wound and Cir
cumstances s~urrOundinE
the whole AFFAIR.

That officer Earl o. Risk was snot by
himself accidentally. instead Of by a Prov
Ter whom he was Investigating, is believed
by persons who are acquainted with the
facts and details of the case.
The affair occurred at Twentieth street
and Poppleton avenue. between 2 and 5
o'clock Tuesday morning, while Risk was
walking his beat, According to his story.
he challenged a suspicious looking mar who
was across the street and was shot by
the man, who escaped without giving Risk
a chance to see who he was.
After detectives investigated the case
with the intention of apprehending the man
who was supposed to have shot Risk, and
after DR.. E. {. Henry had extracted the
bullet and dressed the wound at the Gen
eral hospital, the case assumed a different
nature.
II was found that Risks wound, which
was in the right ankle. was due TO a bullet
which took an upward course; that the
wound was caused by a bullet Of the cRlioer
carried in Risks revolver: that there
was an empty she'll in the officers wea-
pom and that a dent on the revolver might
indicate that he had dropped 1t on the
pavement.
And now down at the police headduar-
ters the police are chuckling to themselves

May Hold
On Spite of Jim
City Prosecutor Has Chance to Keep
Job by Loophole in Charter
Amendments.

Herbert S. Daniel may succeed himself
as city prosecutor whether Mayor Dahlman
wants him or not.
An error in the charter amendments
makes It open to question whether the
mayor may appoint a city prosecutor or
not. In one section 1t provides for the ap-
pointment Of such an officer by the mayor,
but when the charter prescribes the order
In which the officers shall be named. it
omits to say the mayor shall appoint the
city prosecutor or in what order.
Some Of the "Jims' are willing to charge
that the error was not altogether a mistake
on the part Of some Of the friends OF Mr..
Daniel. They are not inclined to be sore
about 1t, for, though Daniel supported Ber-
ryman for the nomination, good friends OF
Dahlman say he voted for Jim at the
polls and consistently supported the entire
democratic ticket as against the republican
ticket.
BY a fight 1t is claimed MIR. DAME could
hold the office under Mayor Dahlman be-
cause of the omission. 1t Is considered a
good acknowledgement technicallties are
