Goodbye, Rats.

en men in the city, married or slngle. who have noticed it and not twice that number would be
 able to tell the difference any
 way, but those mysterious little things that the ladies used to wear in their hair to make
 which means they were enabled to distort their natural tresses into shapes and figures unspeak- able, entirely beyond the compre- hension of the ordinary man, otherwise known as "rats, s,' have disappeared from the makeup of the truly stylish woman and the heads of the fair ones no longer resemble a birds nest, a mouse cage with wisps of new mown hay sticking out hither and yon or a brush heap with the busi- ness end of a garden rake posing calmly and serenely on the top thereof.
 It is considered stylish no long CT and the Paragould woman who is not stylish would be as hard to find as hen with a double row of teeth large enough to masticate a ten penny nail.
 This is not a dissertation on feminine wearing apparel, nor yet an effort to poke fun at the fair sex, butts meant for a gen. uine compliment to the man, wo- man, boy or girl who first invoke the aid of the gods in ridding the present generation of the pestiferous rat. " Whoever did 1t served well his rcae and what ever means was employed, Wheth- CT ridicule or common sense, made the end justify the means. Science might declare the use of the rat unsanitary; business men might have objected to the unsightly appearance of the wives with heads like the women in the wilds of Africa, and ordin- ary courtesy might have pleaded in vain that an opportunity be given the one behind' to look between, if not over the heads of two or three women in front ey- en if they did remove their head pieces, but all in vain. Style was brought to the rescue and style did more than science, common sense or courtesy. It removed the frat" in the twinkling of an eye, brought back those little feminine traits so sadly missed at times and our women now wear their hair as God intended on their heads not sticking out forty ways from Sunday. And not only that, but they wear their OWN hair. If by any cause one of the dear sisters has not enough hair to make an impression on the top of her head, she is fore ed by style and present usage to give what little she has a chance 10 grow and not puff it out with things unnatural and far more unbecoming.
 Avaunt "rat;'' speed you on the parting of the ways. Vel come simplicity and the natural appearance of those fair ones whom we are supposed to love and respect because they are themselves, not made up out of the combings, the sellings, the barterings and exchanges of oth- ers.-Paragould Soliphone.

Chicago has begun in the district su'
preme court the most remarkable legal
proceedings on record. He asks that
President Taft be brought into court
and compelled to tell just why no

DR.. Buckley also alleges that Presi-
