not exactly an error, recently cost an
indianapolis printer S. when he had
expected to send only 10 cents. The
printer in question was busy few
days ago, when he was called on by
an itlnerant member of the craft. who
asked for 10 cents with which to buy
some liquid refreshment. Not having
10 cents in change. the printer hastily
wrote an order on a downtown saloon,
as follows:
"Please let bearer have one good
drink and charge same to -"
When later he went to pay the bill
it was S., and he at once raised objec-
lions. The original order was pro-
duced, when 1t was found that the
itinerant had changed the 'i' In the

had taken fifty glasses of booze to

HOW TO KEEP HAIR IN CURL.
One Woman's Way, by Which She
Can Defy Fog, Mist and Rain.

Most women agree with the ancients
in thinking that those whom the gods
love have curly hair. and it is per-
haps because they want to seem to be
favorites of the gods that so many
women curl their hair artiiicially. The
fog, the mist and the rain are then
looked upon as the evil genii of nature.
The women who have found a way
to combat these unliind influences by
keeping their hair in curl even during
damp. humid weather are frequently
regarded with envy. Yet to do so,
says Il woman whose naturally straight
locks never come out of curl, is a sim
pie matter
This woman keeps on her dressing
table in an air tight jar the white of
an egg, diluted with water to three
times its bulk. Then at night, prepare
tory to curling, she passes comb
saturated with this mixture through
its length.
AS soon as this is done each strand
is twisted tightly like a cord and
wrapped around curling kid.

Jolted the Judqe.


A prominent New York justice got a
jolt the other day, and he is telling the
story of it yet. He said that late one
afternoon he gave case to jury
and that it was 4 80 o'clock the follow
ing morning before the jury agreed
upon Il verdict.
Il waited for the verdict" said the
justice. and after it was returned
told the jurors that, as it was possible
that most of them were married men,
if they desired | would give to each a
certificate that he had been detained
until 1870 o'clock in the morning on
jury service
The jurors consulted together for
few minutes" continued the justice,
and then the foreman arose and said,
We thank you for your consideration
and appreciate the kindness of your
offer and desire To say that if your
honor needs a certificate to the effect
that you were detained until 4:30
o'clock in the morning waiting for our
verdict we will gladly so certify"
The justice hastily declined this
kind offer with thanks and just as
hastily adjourned court.

Life.

All, what Is life, so brief at best?
A waking between rest and rest;
An insects trail along the sand:
A gems bright flash upon the hand;
A wave line traced on oceans shore.
Just rippled there. then seen no more;
A breath upon frosted pane,
A moment warmed then chilled again;
The shadow of a cloud that stays
Until obscured by passing haze
Canst think of aught more brief more
fleet
To image forth Times flying feet?
Yet in the shadow. in the breath,
Our love awakes, which knows no death,
And life, which seems so brief to be.
Is crowned by Immortality
