suffering would be Il the Lord had
marked her face that way.
She puts on her veil in such a fashion
that her eyes are hidden by the head and
tail Of a snake, with its body bridging
her nose; or It may be that she didn't
like the snake design, and when she
opens her mouth to laugh the Mortified
observer notices a big spider across her
teeth. Sometimes there is a string Of
bees flying out OF one ear across her
face and into the other ear giving her
head the appearance of bee hive, and
often she looks as IL the tattoo man had
done butterflies in black ink all over
her countenance.

IL there were any attractiVeness in the

for It is pleasing trait in every woman
to want to look her best, but It is

The woman who wears such veil can
not sniff with scorn at the man who is

token Of a weak intellect on his face.

Occasionally a man reaches the end of
his days who had devoted his life from
childhood to such frivolous purposes and
tritliRs vanities that the only creditable
thing that may be said of him when the
end comes is that at least he was never
tattooed. 1t is the only folly that escaped
him, and this one folly less gives him
little post-mortem luster for the reason
that the tattoo man is rarely met.
Had he stood behind counter in a
mems clothing store and handed out a
bright assortment Of tattoo designs with
ties and gloves; had he lain in wait in
public baths ready to tattoo a mans
breast with a picture Of his sweetheart
while he waits, not so many men could
claim even this one distinction.
For this reason, perhaps. men should
have more charity for the woman who
puts on veil that gives her face a
fashionable tattoo designs. The beguil-
ing clerk who sells wells is met dozen
times a week. and the woman, being

CHESTERFIELD COURT HOUSE,
Va. Sept. 5.-Half a dozen witnesses
today tore a great hole In the careful.
glib, cmotionless story told by Henry
Clay Beattic, Jr.. IN his ordeal to save
himself from the electric chair for
the murder OF his wife.
As soon as the unmoyed accused
left the stand tho prosecution began
its attack on Boattio's story. For
the noXt several hours his version OF
events was under fire. Before recoss
was taken six witnesses had contra
dicted Beattio's testimony that he had
not seen Paul on the Thursday night
before the murder The effect OF their
testimony was practically TO upset
that portion of Beattie's story The
prosecution believed that this flaw in
his tale would prove to tho jury that
all of his story was not TO be relied
upon.
