HOW NATURE REPAYs.

The Loss Of One Sense Seems to Bring
Added Power to the Others.
When the third question put to the
girl who was tinting a customers hair
a fashionable shade elected no reply
the woman turned to the manager OF
the beauty shop and said: What is
the matter with that girl. anyhow? Is
she deafr
Every nearly" said the manager.
"How does she hold her placer
said the woman. ''lt seems to me that
a person employed in a place like this
stands In need of her FIVE senses"
THAT Is just what they do not
need" was the reply. "If one sense is
lacking the other four make up for
the deficiency and become the more
valuable because more acute. Your
hairdresser cannot hear, but her sight
is marvellous. She can detect a gray
hair half block away. and her gift
for shading and matching colors
amounts to real genius. No woman
with all her faculties Is so consum-
mate an artist as she is in touching
up difficult head OF hair. When you
are ready for massage ! shall bring
you blind girl. All her art Is cen
tered in her finger tips. She can find
and smooth away wrinkles that less
sensitive fingers would not discover.
Another deaf girl in the establishment
is particularly sensitive to scents and
is Invaluable in mixing and applying
perfumes. The manager in place of
this kind needs her five senses and as
many more as nature can provide, but
for her assistants elimination and con-
centration are desirable."-New York

for the audience. The men who are
wrestling each wear pair of short
knickers, very loosely worn. and made
of some stout material. with leather
belt at the top to strap it on round the
waist, over their costume. and the idea
Is to catch their opponents by these
knickers and throw them. Both shoul-
ders must touch the ground, and the
men are not allowed to hold their op-
ponents except by the knickers.
OF course it is mainly a question Of
brute strength. and on nearly all oc-
caslons the mountain men prove the
better of the townsmen. Very often a
man will throw his opponent clean
over his shoulder through the air. and
when one considers that this must be
done only by gripping a piece of sail
cloth or such like material in either
hand. at the height of mans loins.
some idea can be gathered Of the

FOUNTAIN FOR
PLEASANTVILLE.

The Young Peoples Branch of the
w. C. T. u have taken upon them
selves the task of placing in Pleas
antville a drinking fountain for man
and beast, the location of which will
be determined later by the City Coun-
ell. The water works, through the
kindness of Mr.. Austin, has already
donated the water supply. In place
of the usual fairs and suppers, the
young people decided to ask for pop
ular subscriptions, thus allowing ev-
cry one the privilege of sharing in
this worthy enterprise. The sub
scriptions are payable monthly for
twelve months and in order to bring
them within the reach of all, have
been made at the rate of ten cents q
month. AS most of the members OF
the society are school children, it is
hard to get the requisite number OF
subscriptions by personal solicitation
and they ask that any one wishing
to join in this work will leave theil
name and address at the Macmillan
Store or at The Pleasantville Press
office, and it will be given to Miss
Frances Garrison, the Treasurer Of
the Y. P. B., who will place it in the
hands of the collector for that dis

natures into this matter, still it is
important that the public should as

A DETECTIVE STORY.
One They Tell In London on Two
 American Police Officials.

One They Toll In London on Two
 American Police Officials.
 As an illustration of the good nature of Frank Froest, who used to be chief of Scotland Yard, they tell this story in London:
 Many years ago two American detec- tives chanced to be in London to- gether, awaiting the extradition of criminals who had been arrested in England for offenses committed in the United States. The Hotel Victoria was then American headquarters in London, and one evening the two Hawkshaws, who had had a convivial day, fell asleep side by side on a divan in the big smoking room of the hostelry. An American humorist found a pair of handcuffs in the office of the manager of the hotel and pro- ceeded to shackle. the pair together, when for two or three hours they slumbered peacefully while the guests of the hotel. American and English. including the ladies. came to gaze upon the scene.
 When the detectives finally awak- ened about 1 o'clock in the morning it was impossible to find a key to the handcuffs and hence impossible to liberate them. They would not hear of sending to police station for as- sistance lest the story of their ridicu- 1ous plight get out, but they had confl- dence that Froest. who was then plain detective inspector, would not betray them. A messenger to Scot land Yard, near by, learned that Froest had gone home long before, but got his address several miles away in the suburbs. An American newspaper man who knew Froest reached his home by cab after 2 o'clock in the morning. He was awakened from slumber and without protest came all the way to the Victoria and released his fellow craftsmen.-New York Sun.

the 8, 900 membership fund it is plan ned to erect mile posts, guide boards, etc. It also is planned to have twelve inch window medals cast, one of which will be given to each dealer who con tributes his per cent. to the fund
 The fund thus subscribed is to be used solely for the purchase of crush ed rock and other necessary building material. The Ocean to-Ocean High way Association is to do no constr1c- tton work, but will make contracts with the various states and counties through which the road runs, to put our material on the road as per speci- ncat1ons prepared and given us by the United States government engineers and inspected by United States eng1n- eers without charge to us In a few instances state cooperation in this construction is feasible; but in most instances it is advisable to deal direct ly with the counties.
 The fund of $1o, 000, GOO will give us more than $5,00 a mile to spend on materials for this road Some of the best rock roads in northern Indiana and northern Ohio, nine feet wide and twelve inches thick of rock, with two inches of screenings, cost for mater ial alone, s2,270 8 mile. Labor to complete this road-rolling, sprink- ling, oiling. etc.-brings the total cost tors profit usually is $500 to s1,oo0 a mile. From this it will be seen that the cost of building material, such as we propose to buy, represents only the road, so that for our $1o, 600 900 cash, we would receive a $25, GOO 600 road, running from coast to coast. "AS to the selection of the exact route, this is to be left entirely to the national committee, which is to be selected later. Three good routes which there afready are sec sections @ of of good nacadaLnized road-a total of more than 1000 mi1es-which will need but slight improvement, as we'll as nIenfU nf oifv SfrootS jo%, will lessen the total mileage of the road to be buiIt''

OYSTER MEN PLAN
 IMPORTANT BILLS
COMMITTEE PROPOSES TO ASK STATE LAW FOR INSPECTION OF OPENING AND PACKING HOUsEs-TO EXAMINE BEDS ALSO.

The committee from the State Oys- ter Growers association. announced previously as being appointed to look after the interests of Connecticut oys- ternen relative to purtfication of streams. etc, in conjunction with oth- made definite plans covering part of it's work.
 meeting of this committee is to be held shortly at which bills will be formulated covering points which the oyStermen feel are very much needed to restore entirely the confidence in the Connecticut oyster which it de- serves. These bills will call:
 For the regular inspection by the proper authorities of all oyster open ing and packing houses within the state.
 2-Inspection by proper authorities of each bed from which market oys- ters are taken for shipment; bacte- riologica1 examination of the waters selves, certificates to be issued cov- ering beds, and oysters found to be suitable. Also strict regulations to be made against sale of oysters taken from beds not so certified.
 These laws are to be modelled on those now in force in Rhode Island which laws have there resulted very beneficially in restoring confidence in the oysters coming from that state.
 This move on the part of the Con- nect1cut OyStermen is in accOrda nee with 8 general movement along these lines which is being pushed by the Oyster Growers and Dealers associa- ton of North America, which includes a plan of publicity involving the news papers, periodicals and magazines of the country. The National associa ton at it's convention in New Haven last spring put itself on record as wishing to cooperate in every way possible with the authorities in keeping their product above suspicion and this work now in hand accords with the policy inaugurated at that time.
 The bills drawn up by the special committee will be submitted to the Connecticut Oyster Growers associa- ton at a. special meeting to be held by that body for the purpose, and will be duly presented to the 1egisla ture for passage at the coming session

Paseport to the North Pole.

A passport to the north pole was is sued some years ago by the governor of the province of Tobolsk, which stretches along the Russian shores of the Arctic ocean. The official was ap preached by two men who had been engaged to proceed to the north with an English expedition then fitting out Their petition was for a passport tc the pole itself, but the governor point ed out that the pole was as likely to be in their home province as in any other, that 1t was extremely unlikely they would reach it and that if they did there were no police there to ex anime their credentials. At last, how ever, to satisfy them he ordered the issue of a document allowing them tc pass without let or hindrance to the north pole.

New York. Dec. 28.-Undismayed by yesterdays failure to get the slightest clue to the whereabouts of William Rockefeller the multi fugitive Charles Riddell, sergeant-at- arms of the House of Representatives, and his deputies, started out bright and early again, today. determined to get on the trail of the man whose testimony is so badly wanted by the Pujo money trust Investigating com mittee at Washington.
 Were going to get this man and serve him with a subpoena if it takes a year." said Riddell, today. He thinks he can defy the wishes of the United States government but we'll show him yet.
 As a starter, Ridden, yesterday. tried the Standard Oil offices at No. 26 Broadway. He was shunted around the mysterious building where there is not a name on 8, single door or a directory of offices on the wall In the hallway, and finally the best he could get was the obviously 1roni- cal information that, since the Stand ard Oil Company had been dissolved by the supreme court" those were the offices of only the Standard Oil Com pany of New York, in which Rocke- fellers Twas not even a director and his whereabouts therefore were en- tirely unknown.

PropsrIx Boiled Meat.

To boil meat so as to retain the juices and soluble salts and yet cook it sufficiently it should be plunged into boiling water and boiled rapidly for about ten minutes. After this fast cooking the kettle must be pushed over to the back of the fire, where its con tents will simmer gently. This tends to coagulate the outer rind of the meat so that the juices cannot escape. If meat is treated in this manner the inside will be found juicy and tender. but if the meat is allowed to boil it will be found hard and chfppy, the goodness having all boiled out of it.
