AN OLD SONG REJUVENATEO.

l cannot wear the old hair
wore some months gone by,
I've laid it on the topmost shelf
With many a weary sigh.
No longer are they wearing puffs,
And rats are quite de trop;
l cannot wear the old hair
On. what cruel blow,
/ cannot wear the old hair,
For which good gold l paid.
Red hair is so expensive when
One gets the proper shade
| felt so dreadful when il was coiffed,
All little puffs and curls:
But / can't wear the old hair.
Alas for Fashions whirls,
I cannot wear the old hair.
Four switches l must buy
And wind them round and round my
head
As fat as they will lie.
My face is far too plump for this;
My nose is much too long;
But l can't wear the old hair,
It's altogether wrong.

Annapolis Wildly Rejoices
Over Victory of the Navy

ANNAPOLIS. Md, November 26.-All
Annapolis was wild tonight over the
Nays victory over the Army cadets in
the annual foot ball battle at Philadel-
phia today. The report of the game was
received here play by play, and as each
announcement that showed a gain for the
Navy was given out. those who gathered
to hear the returns let themselves loose.
The crowd went into an uproar, when,
after standing for more than an hour in
the cold. the announcement came that
Dalton had kicked a field goal. And when
the flash came. giving the final score.
pandemonium reigned.
Supt Bowyer Of the academy, who was
among the stay-at-homes. was delighted
that the midshipmen won. As soon as
he had been informed Of the victory. he
telegraphed Acting Capt. Wright and
complinented the members Of ten team.
through him. on their victory.
When the special trains bearing the
brigade Of midshipmen pulled in late to.
night the overjoyed midshipmen whooped
things up tremendously, thus adding to
the already big celebration that the stay
at-homes had enjoyed. And when the
victorious warriors return home tomor-
row afternoon there is no doubt there
will be q demonstration to outshine that
Of tonight.

From the London News.

From the LONDON News.
Cowdray, once the estate Of the Earls
Of Egmont and now in the possession OF
Lord Cowdray, better known as Sir
Weetman Pearson. is the subject Of a
very interesting superstition. Shortly
after the dissolution Of the monasteries
Cowdray was conferred upon Sir Anthony
Browne. the father Of the first Lord Nom
tague. who had already been given Battle
Abbey as reward for his services to
Henry VIII. The story goes that Sir
Anthony. who had destroyed the church
and the cloisters In Battle Abbey. was
visited In the great hall as he was hold
ing his first feast by one of the dispos-
sessed monks. who. after solemnly ours
ing him. prophesied that his family
should perish by fire and water.
Two centuries and a half later the
prophecy was tragically fulfilled. In 1898
the house was destroyed by fire and with
in q week Of that disaster the last Lord
Montague lost his life I'm Germany in an
unsuccessful attempt to shoot the falls
Of the Rhine. Queen Elizabeth paid q
visit to Cowdray In 1871. when she in

Recent Criticisms.

NEW YORK, November 26.-The suf-
fragists of New York replied tonight to
the criticisms Of Cardinal Gibbons, made
Friday before the students Of st. Cath

II agree with Cardinal Gibbons in adj
vising the students not to follow women
who are mannish.' said the Rev. DR..
Anna Howard Shaw. president Of the
National Woman's Suffrage Association.
L do not agree with him when he tells
them not to follow women who are not
mannish, but are merely human beings
interested in all that concerns humanity.
Every normal human being must be In
terested in his own government"
Mrs John Winters Brannan quoted
Cardinal Moran Of Australia. Cardinal
Moran speaks from experience" she
said. "He has been an intelligent OBJ
server of the results Of giving women
the ballot This is what he said:
"If any woman thinks that tying or
her bonnet and going to the polls to
cast her vote is going to make her un-
