man apparently does not know that
there Is a right kind and a wrong kind.
II you want your hair to be effective.
don't wear metal pins. Little black
wire pins are all right where they
don't show. but fancy aluminium and
white metal pins have no place at all.
The shops should rather sell you bone
and shell pins II you would ask for

best matches the color of your hair.
There Is an excellent she'll pin which
does not break. split or drop out. They
cost a trife more than the breakable
pins, but as they last for years they
are real economy, and they always
look well

600 tons. embodying every comfort
and such luxury as Is offered by the
modern New York hotel and make the
entire Journey Around the World

truly princely traveling-a transat-
lantic leviathan run like a private
yacht.
An itinerary of surprising interest
has been prepared by Mr.. Frank G..
Clark embodying every point of tour
list interest along the way and ample
time has been allowed for stops. The
charterer controls the steamer for the
period of nearly four months. and,
having arranged his own itinerary il
is not necessary 10 await the infre-
quent sailings of local steamers, and
thus much valuable time is saved
without any detriment TO the tourist.
Also the route includes many places
that are not in reach of the ordinary
traveller unless he waits for tramp
steamers or sailing vessels.
The initial cruise leaves New York
on October 10th. 1903, arriving in San
Francisco the last of January. 1910.
Another shipload OF tourists secured
from all parts of the Union will be on
hand TO sail on the cleveland" on

A rainy-day skirt that is draggied
around the bottom is not only ugly, IL
is positively gloomy.
An ingenious young woman lately
evolved the idea of a rubber facing
which protected both the edge and the
inside Of the skirt
The skirt itself was made Of serge
which had been cravenetted in order
to make it waterproof.
It cleared the ground by about three
inches in width, cut and shaped TO fit

THE GENEROUS ICEMAN
Serves Twice the Amount Paid for and
Is Fined for Short WEIGHT.

This is a good holiday story-and It is
not fable-of how an iceman got his
when It wasn't coming TO him, and how
the Ice company was "stung" when for
once It did not deserve it. The story was
told in the city sealer's Office to-day.
A certain business man who Is at home
much of the time ingratiated himself
with the iceman through presents Of
cigars. kind words and occasionally some
cold drinks and such. so that his icebox
always received generous measure. few
days ago "a mysterious stranger, with
brusque. official manners. appeared sud
denly just as the ice wagon arrived in
front OF the house.
How much is is he bringing your de-
manded the stranger.
"Ah. hal A spotter for the ice COM
panyl" thought the business man. Il must
not get my friend into trouble
He brings me 100 pounds every day." he
declared aloud.
The truth was that the man paid for
nifty pounds every day. and the friendly
iceman generously gave him something
like seventy-hve pounds. In trundied the
perspiring iceman with the dripping
chunk
Here's where I make my friend strong
with his boss for saving ice for the COM
pany." thought the business man, as the
stranger took the cake and started to
weigh it.
"Eighty-hve pounds; fifteen pounds
short weight" he declared. You're being
cheated, and we'll have this man arrested.
I'm from the city sealer's office"
on the representation Of John Kjel-
lander, city sealer. that the man had
been caught giving short weight, he was
fined and forced to pay the costs. Then
appeared goat No ." in the form OF the
company which apparently considered
short weight so much matter of course
that It paid the fine and didn't even
reprimand the man for his supposed
economy in its favor.

There are a great many crochet but
tons being used upon frocks this year,

difficulty is to pin them on, rather
than sew them For this little half
inch safetypins should be used and
the buttons attached to the goods in

off and put back easily, while the

a whole season in this way without

reached their decision and acquitted
F'risbie, who tainted when the verdict
was given. 1t was discovered that
Frisbie, who is.a young man % years of
age, had strychnine tablets concealed
ready to take should he be convicted.
The case was tried before Judge

Thus ends one of st. Clair county's

a big victory for attorney Joseph
Walsh, who was in charge of the de-
Tense. The prosecution in the case was
well taken care of by prosecuting at

ing Miss Rapley, Mrs. Pollock and Mrs.
Palmer. The hours passed very pleas
antly to the members. No more

DR.. Campbell, a specialist, of Detroit,
came to Yale Thursday evening and
performed an operation upon Mrs.
James McColl. She has been suffering
much pain in her ear and head. 1t is
hoped and expected that the operation
will relieve her and that she will soon
become better.
A decided change took place in the
weather Tuesday morning when a
binding snow storm ragged nearly all
day. All along we have had exception
ally fine weather for this time of the
year. From the appearance of things,
three inches of snow at the present
writing, we have come to the conclusion
winter has set in for keeps.
Last week the Expositor published
an item about Doughty Middleton, col
lector for the Woodmen of the World,
losing sum of money. Suspicion rest
ed on a certain young lad who was
closely watched and finally admitted
his guilt. In consideration of the lads
parents we refrain from publishing his
name. The money has been paid back
and everything settled satisfactorily.
A blaze was discovered in the en-
closed show window at Hayes Il
Sheehy's last Saturday just after the
gas lamps had been lighted. Excite
ment prevailed for short time while
frantic efforts were made to put out the
fire and rescue the goods. No alarm
was turned in as willing hands soon
subdued the flames which were con-
fined to the window alone, but which
burned or scorched goods to the
amount of $1,000 fully insured The
lamps caused the mischief.
