MANS APPRAISAL OF HAIR.
Juries Seldom Fail to Award Women Damages in Accidents to This Charm.

Given a woman as a client and a lost charm as the cause, a lawyer goes into court with a degree of confidence not inspired by ordinary suits at law. Juries are generally friendly They simply want to be shown"
 In one case the lawyer for a young wife asked the jury: What would you take for your wife's hair, supposing it could removed by woman barber in her own homer"
 One of the jurymen cracked his palm on his knee and blurted out with vigor: "A thousand dollars wouldn't touch a single strand of it's
 Other women have asked for and re- ceived balm for offensive scars on the faces. hands, necks and arms, for dis figurement of shapely noses. for the Obliteration of attractive dimples, and it is on record that damages were re- covered because a trim pair of ankles had lost some of their grace through an accident
 Here are some records which show how juries have adjusted cases of the lost charm variety:
 Amelia Kirwan three years ago was a sweet faced miss of IA, employed in a New York factory. One day there was an accident. When the girl re- covered she found she had lost all her hair. A jury awarded her s5,0OO. The same amount was received by Matilda Civettie, another New York girl who, in similar accident. also lost her hair.
 In St. Paul, Minn., the men evidently do not admire beautiful locks as high ly as they do in the east. At any rate, a jury there decided s2.O0O was enough for Miss Tillie Ominsky, who had the misfortune to lose her hair.
 Mrs. Lima Henschel, a young New York matron, was so unfortunate as to be in an accident few years ago. Whether through fright or some injury to the scalp, her hair. that had been a beautiful brown, turned white. The jury felt that while with advancing age nothing might be more beautiful than snow white hair, with young Mrs. Henscel such was not the case, and awarded her S3,500.

A PRINCESS IN EXILE. Life in a Palace Regulated by Strik.
 ina Clock

There have been many royal suf- ferers through revolutions, but not one of them perhaps endured such fitness of misfortune as Mme. Royale daughter of Louis XVI, whose life is described in Lady Theodore David sons version of Turquan's book of that name.
 The remarkable woman known as Mme Royale was born into sur roundings of the greatest pomp and luxury While an infant she had eighty personal attendants, and the yearly bill for her bOuillon at the age of two amounted to e2OS. but by her twelfth year she had suffered three years of imprisonment. lost her father, mother and aunt, who were guilIotined, and was herself made an exile.
 Although a hard favored woman in later life, she was beautiful in her young days. Her haughtiness, how ever, greatly troubled her mother Marie Antoinette, who adopted a cu- rious measure to check it.
 She chose for her a little conn panion of humble birth who was to be the princess's own charge and was to share with her the good sthings of life. I have myself seen, writes a visitor to the court, the queen experimenting madame's meal in company with a little peasant whom madame had to look after and serve first, the queen saying, You must do the honOrs.'"
 Tho Iaa6inU iir to the imprisonment in the Temple are too well known to need descrip- ton. The life of the orphaned child there was pitiful. but she bore her trials bravely
 "She remained unruffled by such veXations as sleeping on chaff mattress, having no carpet, no spare body linen or shoes. sweeping out her room. The young girl at a later, period of her imprisonment was dressed in scanty gray bodice she had long outgrown. Her skirt was also much too short. She wore a kerchief around her neck and an other on her head Her hands were itation and semed afraid of uttering an imprudent word"
 But even worse than her imprison- ment was the disappointment of her marriage. This was arranged while in exile without the bride and bride groom meeting. She dreamed of a hero. and this is how they met.
 When the carriages halted the king Louis XVIII, her uncle) descended from his. Madame, light as bird, in spite of a month in her carriage. jumped down, ran across to the king and knelt to receive his blessing. Then Louis XVIII drew from behind his sheltering rotundity frail crea- ture of monkey-like appearance.
 Your betrothed. the Due d'An- gouleme," he announced, placing a fat hand on the puny shoulder of the prince and propelling him toward his niece.
 Yet the Due d'Angouleme. if not intellectual. was a kindly. honest and gentle man, devoted to his wife as she in later life was to him.
 Even in their days of power the life of Mime. Royale had little joy in it.

AN ALMOST BLANK DAY IN THE CONVENTION
HALF SESSION AND THEN THE
 FAIR
The Recall Proposition to be Taken
 up This Morning

The proceedings of the constitu tiOnal convention were distinguished yesterday rather for the things which were not accomplished. There was
 short session in the morning after
 which an adjournment was taken for the day. At the usual hour this morning the report of the committee on the recall proposition and the var
 ious amendments will be taken up An early agreement on any proposi tion would go far to silence those who scoff at latter day miracles.
 In the first place a large minority of the convention does not want any recall and of the majority there are almost as many notions of what would be proper recall proposition as there are members of that majority. There was one thing settled yes- terdey and another proposition was sent to the committee on style, re- vision and compilation which has so far not been cruelty worked. It was proposition No. ? defining the boun- daries of the state of Arizona. The report of the committee of the whole on this measure was adopted against the dissenting votes of nine members who could not see what figure it could cut and who argued that while mankind is engaged in struggle against the high cost of living there should be no needless waste of white paper and printers ink.
 In the committee of the whole, with MT. Feeney in the chair. the re- port of the committee on executive, impeachment and removal from of flee recommending the adoption of a substitute providing for state of ficers, fixing their terms and sal aries.
 The terms of all officers shall be two years The list and salaries follow: Governor, $5,000: secretary of state, S4.000; auditor, s3,500; treasurer. sS.5OO; attorney general, $2.5OO: superintendent of public in struction, S2,000. There was a rough outline of the official duties of these officers and in describing the pow CTS of the governor it was provid- ed that acts of the legislature should be passed over his veto by not less than a thirds vote of the legis- lature Another proposition relating to state and county officers and pre- scribing their duties was reported and several others on the same sub ject were recommended for indefinite postponement on the ground that bet ter projects for the accomplishment of the same purposes had been got under way.

STRENGTH OF REPUBLICAN IN
 SURGENTS.

It will be seen, however, that in spite of defections the republican par ty has emerged each time much stronger, the temporary defeat of. 1884 being due to flukes and frauds which could not occur again. From a party of 1.341.264 votes cast for Fremont in 1856, it has grown to a party of 7,637.- 676 votes cast for Taft in 1908. Again it is confronted by rebellion within its ranks The band of insurgents who declare a policy of rule or ruin must soon surrender to the great majority form an independent movement or join in alliance with the democrats. The movement is in no degree differ ent from that opposed to Lincoln in 1864, to Grant in 1872, to Blaine in 1884 or to Mckinley in 1896. Its present strength is seen as follows:
 Senate. House Total Republicans ....... 5Z Z0O Z9z Insurgents ....... 20 21
 And this proportion is much wider among the voters at large. In 1912, whether the insurgents join the demo- cratic party or run an independent candidate, they will find that the re- publican party will be stronger than ever, and more successful without them than with them-Leslie's.

ANY WOMAN CAN HAVE BEAuTI-
Full HAIR.
(From French Beauty Monthly

(From French Beauty Monthly
mo woman should use water upon
her hair oftener than once in two
MONTHS says M. Fournier. the noted
French scientist. Dry powder only
should be used. Moisture causes the
hair to lose its color and in time be-
come thin.
ANY woman desiring abundant, lus-
trous hair should use dry shampoo
every two or three days. Mix four
ounces of powdered orris root with four
ounces of therox. Sprinkle about a
tablespoonful of this mixture upon the
head; then brush the powder thor
oughly through the hair. This will
keep it light and fluffy, and beautifully
lustrous. You will soon see new hair
starting to grow. This treatment is the
only thing that 1 am sure will produce
a growth of hair.
While plain orris root is used as a
dry shampoo by many women, still, no
such results can be obtained as by
using the formula l have given"

he: "If the mountain will not come

home. Patiently he waited for four
long and lonely hours and about mid
night the front door quickly opened,
and the man dashed down the steps.
He seized him by the arm and cried
earnestly: do you want a doctor?"
