U might seem to less

than the regretted o. Henry that the
shop-girl most stands in need of the
strength of Hercules, the heroism OF
Joan Of Arc, the truthfulness and 9TH

patience of Job. Think what 1t must
mean, from elgnT 10, SIX, or eight 10

serve the ratified throngs that are now
surging through the shops, think of
the strain on endurance and nerve, on
temper and manners. The wonder Is
not that she often comes up to the de-
mands on her, but that she ever does.
Some of the veterans, survivors of
many hard-fought Christmas battle
fields, are marvels; may be seen at
fag-end of day still alert, though droop-
ingly so; still clear-headed, though
with conscious effort; still with cour-
teous attitude in their serving, though

they may have started out.
Compare the manners Of some
spoiled darling, some INDUCED, AFRO
CANT child of wealth, with the dignity
and patience and sweetness often
shown by the girl behind the counter

They are not all caricatures of fash
ion, with hair tortured into latest ex-
aggeration, frocks cheap copies of
| snowy splendors; not all more given
to powder and rouge than to soap and
water. And in the attainment of the
so highly-desirable neatness and trim
ness heroism again has to come to the
! fore, it is no easy matter after long
hours of labor to labor more, take
pains for personal cleanliness, sew and

she seems to me, than the woman of

Repose Of Manner

Our great-grandmothers taught
their daughters that ''repose of man
ner'' WAS the first requisite Of true
propriety. No well-bred lady would
fidget iu company put her hands to
her face, toss her herd or finger her
buttons. II she talked, she did 1t in
q soft voice and without gesticula-
ton, no matter how many rings she
wore or how pretty her hand might
be. She was even taught to control
her features; that squintiug and
winking the eyes and twitching the
mouth were not ''nice." In sitting,
neither the knees nor the feet were
to be crossed, rocking was odiously
vulgar, yawaning and stretching
were unspeakable offences and, above
all, the hands must be crossed or
folded In the lap and kept there.
We plead for at least partial re-
sumption Of the old forms. Let
mothers once more teach their girls
TO sit still in company, to cultivate
calmness. Let our women learn to
carry on earnest conversation In sub
dued tones and without gesticulation.

viii Never Have Cheap Meats

David Rankin, OF TarkiO, Mo-, one
OF the biggest farmers In America,
and who cultivates 24,0OO acres OF
rich Missouri land, and 5000 acres
across the border In Iowa, and who
considers it II poor year when he does
not harvest Il million bushels of corn,
says beef and pork will never be
cheap again. II don't see how the
packers can make much on meat"
said he. 1.-THE price is 80 high the
people can't afford to eat much Of 1t,
and the volume of business has
shrunk. The producers profits have
not been reasonable for three years.
The law Of supply and demand alone
is responsible for high prices of meat.
There is an actual shortage OF hogs.
Again, there Is no cheap land left on
which to raise cattle, and those who
do raise cattle risk, and often stand
big losses."-Live Stock Report.

BALD.HEADED ROW.
Early Piety Not Always the Cause of
Badness.

In Paris there lived great physi-
clan of worldwide renown who
proved to the world that falling hair
is caused by microbes.
DR.. Sagerbund proved that badness
is directly due to these pernicious and
persistent microbes. He proved to
every physician on earth that these
invisible yet vociferous little devils
dug and burrowed into the hair roots
and finally deyoured the hair bulb.
This of course destroyed the vitality
of the hair which fell out and caused
thinning of the hair and finally bald
ness.
Inasmuch as it is an accepted fact
that badness, falling hair and dand-
ruff are caused by germ, doesn't it
stand to reason that the only way to
prevent such calamities is to kill the
germs?
And doesn't it stand to reason that
the only way TO kill these germs is to
use Partisan Sage, which Bratton
Drug Co. have so much faith in that
they guarantee it to cure dandruff,
falling hair and itching scalp in two
weeks, or money back?
Partisan Sage is a delightful hair
tonic and is pleasant to use. 1t is not
sticky or greasy, and constants only
those ingredients that will surely ben
eft.
1t is now sold by druggists all over
America, and by Bratton Drug Co. for
so cents a large bottle. 1t is used
extensively by women who desire
luxuriant hair with a radiant luster
The girl with the Auburn Hair is on
every package.

TO TRY INDIANA BANKERS
Three Alleged Bank Wreckers teA Be
Brought Before Federal Court
In indianapolis.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 50The
federal court to convene here Menday
will take up for trial the case against
Paul c. Gall, who is charged with aid
ing and abetting Max P. Emmerich to
abstract money from the Capital Ma
tional Bank of this city. Emmerich,

has already been convicted and SEN
fenced to five years in prison.

Marker and Noah Marker, former
cashier and assistant cashier, respect
lively, of the First National Bank of
Upton. The Markers are charged
with having embezzled 100000 of the
funds of the bank, and with numerous
other crimes against the national
banking laws. AS result of the al
legged embeZzlement the Upton bank
closed last July, but was subsequently
reopened The bank has now brought
suit against the Marker brothers for
the 100000 which they are alleged to
have taken and concealed for the pur-
pose of defrauding their creditors.
Considerable comment mas been
caused by the unusually large number
of Indiana bankers and bank employees
who have recently run afoul of the

seven alleged violators of the national
banking laws were convicted and SEN

Device Consists Of Six Ferris Wheels

New York City.-The swapping of
a steel rod in the big amusement
machine known as "the double whirl'
at Coney Island, plunged eight people
to the ground from a height of 20
feet, seriously injuring six, and
threw the other passengers into such
panic that women had to be carried

was arrested on charge of criminal
negligence. The injured are:
Mrs. Lena Lawson, Brooklyn; frac-
tured right leg and internal injuries.
Mrs. Augusta Mellor, Brooklyn;
left leg broken and internal injuries.
Otto Starr, Brooklyn; right arm
and three ribs broken.
David Johnson, Brooklyn; cuts and
bruises.

Three other women and one man
were hurt, but made their way out of
the crowd before their names were
learned.
The device consists of six Ferris
wheels which move with a sidewise

baskets are attached to each of the
six wheels and each basket seats two
passengers. One of the rods on which
three baskets were suspended

time the passengers in the highest
baskets (about 40 feet in the air.

passengers were brought down on lad
