A MANS WHISPERS.

They Should Not Be Renovated With
tho Shoebrush.
If men would devote as much loving
care to their whiskers as women do to
their hair they would contribute great
ly to increasing the dignity OF the sex.
A woman wouldn't think Of coming
downtown without having her hair
properly arranged. She combs 1t, and
fuses with it, and pads it out with
rats, and puts wire cages under 1t. and
runs ribbons through it. and she Is
vision of lcveliness when she appears
in the busy haunts of men.
But man gives his whiskers no at
tention further than to brush the egg
shells or clam chOwder out OF them
with the shoebrush. 1t never seems to
occur to him that his whiskerS might
be made beautiful if he would devote
onc-half the time to them that WON
IN gives to her hair. He mighI easily
have made wire cage to attach to
his chin, and then he could weave his
whiskers around it in captivating
STYLES and tie the ends together with
a pink or blue ribbon.
The alfalfa editor gets tired Of see
ing the same old fashions in whiskerS
when it would be so easy to devise
new and striking ways Of wearing
them.
There should be IL whiskers club In
Emporia If such an organization
were formed and the members held
weekly meetings to exchange ideas
and compare notes the results would
soon be apparent. The towns whls'
kers would soon become distinctive,
and their reputation would cover the
country.

A Deadly Weapon.

There is a horrible weapon favored
bv certain of the hill tribes in the
Ghauts of western Asia. which con-
sists of four sharp. curved blades hid
den under the fingers and securely held
in place by rings passing over two OF
them. With such contrivance Shl-
vail. the Maratha hero, is credited
with having disemboweled his Mo-
hammedan overload when making a
pretense of rendering him his humble
submission. The vagnaks C"tiger's
claws'O, as they are called. are dis
tinctly more brutal than their western
prototype. the 'knuckle buster.

ceived by the operator of the naval
| wireless sation at Cordova was that
the passengers and crew were still
aboard the Olympia. which was being
pounded and tossed about on the
sharp rocks by the heavy seas. On
account of the fury Of the storm, the
passengers will not attempt to take
to the small boats unless they see
that the steamer can hold together
no longer.
Gable dispatches from Cordova in
dictate that Wireless Operator Hayes
is the hero of the wreck
In spite of the fact that the Olym-
pia was being tossed violently and the
wireless was worked with difficulty,
Hayes stuck to his post and man
aged to reach the operator on duty
at the naval wireless station at Cor
dova with his calls for assistance.
The operators kept in touch with
each other as much as possible. but
there were distressingly long inter-
walls when the governments shore sta
ton was unable to detect a vibra-
ton from the Olympia's wireless.
Hayes continued at his post and
finally succeeded in getting his in
struments to work long enough to
flash the good news to the shore sta
ton, forty miles away, that all were
still on board the Olympia, hopeful
that she woul hold together until the
rescuers arrived.
For seven of the fifty-two passen-
gers of the Olympia this is the second
shipwreck experience within ten days.
They first sailed from Seattle Deem
Der 1 on the steamship Northwest
ern. The vessel was but few hours
out of port when she went on the
rocks in False Bay, San Juan Island.
Her passengers were brought back to
Seattle and sailed again on the Olym-
pia.

Washington visitor from some center

cred in the Capital City for the COM
mon trolley car Everybody knows
that from a point in front Of the treas
ury certain G street cars start every
once in awhile for places in the sub
urbs and elsewhere. The recognized
custom of those who wish to use these
cars is to 60 there and get aboard one
that you find waiting and sit patiently
till it starts.
The visitor reports that he proceeded
according to rule. He found a car
waiting. got aboard and waited with it.
There were several others in like case,
and the patience of the assembly was
taxed some twenty minutes before the
conductor, who had been talking with
the motorman, came along and jan
gled the go ahead bell. At the sound
eager conversation at the remote end
of the car got tip in quite leisurely
fashion and descended to the street
"Your beautiful and dignified city,"
said the visitor. SIS the first that I
have seen in which the inhabitants
use the street cars as park benches
are commonly used-as places for rest
and conversation. suppose that long
experience enables you to know exact
~ what cars to sit down in for good
long chat
"Perhaps certain cars are reserved
for the purpose, but If so there should
be signs to warn the stranger. In my
own severely unitarian town they put
up the placard Waiting Car when in
cold weather one is being used as a
substitute for nonexistent station.
Yours might be labeled Rest Cars or
Thirty Minutes For Conversation or
something like that"
