were exhausted. but he bravely swung
forth his shjngle and waited. But no
clients stopped on that side of the
street. His Office rent was due. and
his clothes were becoming shiny. but
he went to his Office with regularity
that would indicate thriving prac.
tice. He was deep In an imaginary
case, and when the authorities were
all noted and arguments prepared he
started forth downtown and thrashed
the mayors son, whom he met in the
street. The act aroused the righteous
indignation Of the townsmen. and be
faced an angry court. But in his tes-
timony he was able to include Il sharp
attack on the mayor and his admins
tration. He quoted law from Lycur
gus and Solon and gave them the
page. number and chapter every time
The case was continued and sent up
to higher court at last 1t reached

an odd person who always. no mat

be called prince Albert" He struck
a rich vein of ore and named that the
Prince Albert. Being Of generous

fellow was, Of course. surrounded by

and the case was taken into court
One of the lawyers had Burns on the
stand. "Now. Mr. Burns" said the
lawyer. Twill you please tell the court
how you can explain your conduct?
The evidence shows that you have

to say to that?" well. sir" replied

President Johnson. mpeachment.

The house impeached President John
son on Nov 25. 1867. charging him
with having removed Secretary of
War Stanton in direct violation Of the
tenure Of Office act. with having ap-
pointed General Thomas contrary to
the same act. with conspiracy with
General Thomas and others FOR the
intimidation of Secretary Stanton and
the unlawful disbursement Of the war
departments money and with inducing
General Emory. commanding the de-
partment Of Washington. to disobey
orders.
The house adopted the resolution of
impeachment by vote of l2G to AZ.
After the trial of the case before the
senate the vote for impeachment there
stood 35 to 10. thus being short of the
necessary two-thirds. The senate ad
journed sine die. however. without
voting on some of the primary articles
embraced in the charges against the
president. Thereupon the chief justice
of the United States court entered a
verdict of acquittal on the record

A Great Trade Secret.

As every one knows. the process Of
manufacturing the paper of which
Bank Of England notes are made is
one of the greatest of all trade secrets.
It is known only to the governor Of
the Bank Of England and to three 9th
er persons Intimately connected with
the industry. which IS carried on at
Overton, quiet little village in Hants.
All that the outside world is allowed
to know concerning this precious pa
per is that it is made. among other In
gradients. out of charred busks and
Rhenish vines.
Quite as profound secret Is the
manufacture Of both the paper and
the ink used for American banknotes.
The former has the double advantage
of not being secret preparation. but
one that only takes one particular
kind of ink. which is quite unique. the
American government paying the man.
ufacturer. who alone possesses the Sc
cret. the sum of $4,000 year for
making it.-Pearson's Weekly.

Joe. the fat boy In the 'Pickwick

slumber He was happier that way
Probably there are good many other
people in the world good deal like
Joe, but most of them do not get the
chance for sleep that he had. This
scrap of conversation. recently over
heard. would seem to indicate that. al
though this Is nervous age. the de
sire for sleep is not wholly dead.

Earliast Theater.

What was probably one of the earl

Dionysus. which was begun five eentu

The theater Of Dionysus was erected

shampooed several times a week until
the scalp is restored to a healthier
condition, and then twice a month will
usually suffice.
The hair should be briskly brushed
twice day This will cleanse it and
promote a healthy circulation. The
scalp should also be kneaded and mas
saged with the finger tips, slightly
pinched and pulled away from the un-
derlying skull. This is especially nec-
essary where the hair lacks vigor and
the scalp is tightly bound to the skull.
1t is question whether electric mas
sage. vibration massage, ETC., have any
advantages over ordinary methods. VI
bration massage in particular should
be used with caution.
In some cases dandruff Is so exces-
sive as to constitute an active disease,
accompanied by Inflammation. In such
cases medical attention Is necessary,
and experiments should not be made.
The scalp, like other portions of the
body. can be kept in a healthy condi-
ton by proper attention to bathing,
sleep, exercise, diet, etc.. and all these
things should be tried in preference
to soaking ones head with high priced.
highly perfumed stuff out of fancy bot
ties
Anything that improves the nutrition
of the scalp tends to prevent gray hair.
Many theories have been advanced as
to the cause of gray hair. but no cure
has yet been discovered. Black hair
dyes may contain lead and cause Sc
rious poisoning. Great caution should
be exercised in using dyes.
Care Of the Complexion.
Care Of the complexion should COM
mence in childhood. This does not
mean that we should rub the baby's
face with expensive toilet prepara-
tions. but that all measures which pro-
mote healthy skin action should ear
ly become a part Of training and dis
cipline.
The skin of the face should also be
thoroughly cleansed at least once day,
in order that healthy action of its
glands may be maintained. Pure soap
and tepid soft water are usually suf
ficient for this purpose. Those who
live in dusty or smoky towns will find
it beneficial to use cold cream as q
cleanser The face should be gently

THE NEW ERA is HERE.

HE New era in Imperial valley Is
j here. Evidence of it lies all about
Us. The throngs on the streets, the
countless teams and automobiles at the
curbs, the opening of new towns, the
subdivisions of farms, the marketing OF

the extension of bitches and enlargement
of old ones. the coming of families from
the East the Middle West, the Old
south and the Pacific slope. these are
some of the things that tell of the
change.
1t was inevitable. The time had to
come when Imperial valley would en-

every industry is in the ascendant.
Progress is everywhere, and with the
new progress there is a happier spirit
and the strangers at the public boards
catch the new feeling and carry it hence
to work upon others.
Such is the beginning of the new
boom, the new rush of developmental
activities that is sweeping Imperial val
