CHARACTERS FROM LIFE.
World Full of Folks Like Those in
Fine Feathers.

The world is full of the opportuni
ties and the temptations that confront
Bob Reynolds in Fine Feathers and
tfere are hundreds of young men who
yield as he yields. The world is full
OF men representing big business
like John Brand, and in recent years
we have been introduced to many
characters like Dick Meade, the muck
laker for magazies. There are many
women in the world like young Mrs.
reynolds and tho crooked business by
which Reynolds is tempted through
Brand IS one Of the things sought for
by play writer's and newspaper men.
And it is the combination Of these
characters and facts which has made
Fine Feathers quite the most talked
OF play of the entire country.

Lincoln, the Kind Hearted.

When Lincoln visited Fortress Mon
roe In 1863 his attention was called to
a narrow door. bound with iron. the
use OF which he was anxious to learn.
"What Is it2' he asked.
"Oh, that Is the sweat box" was the
reply. 1T Is used for refractory sail
ors. A man In there Is treated to a
big dose of steam heat and has very
little ventilation. 1t brings him
around pretty quickly"
Lincoln. ever merciful. demanded
that he be allowed to try the treat
ment to which thousands of American
sailors were subjected yearly.
Taking Off his hat-for he was sew
eral inches over six feet In height--he
entered the inclosure which he found
to be little more than three feet In
length or width. At signal from
him the door was to be opened 1t
was then closed and the steam turned
on. He had been inside hardly three
minutes before the signal was given.
President Lincoln had experienced
something he had never known had
existed before. Turning to Secretary
Welles OF the navy department, he or
dered that no such Enclosure as the
sweat box should ever be allowed on
any vessel flying the American dag.

Lincoln and the Boy.


Here is story Of Lincoln and the
children
When the president was in Spring
field, H.. he met Il little boy who was
introduced to him and allowed to
shake the great mans hand or course
the boy boosted of this honor among
his schoolmates. who wouldn't believe
him, making his life miserable by their
unkind speeches. Young America,
however hurt he felt. was not going
to be put down by a little thing like
that No, indeed! He sat down and
wrote a letter to Lincoln telling him
of his trouble. After awhile he re-
ceived a letter which is still preserved.
1t read:
Executive Mansion. March 10, 1861.
To Whom 1t May Concern:
did see and talk with Master George
Evans Potter last May at Springfield. Ill.
Respectfully. A. LINCOLN.
From that time young George, in
stead of being laughed at. became the
envy Of the other boys. The part of
the story that most interests us, how
ever. Is that Lincoln at this anxious
time, amid the thousand things de-
handing his attention, should have
found time to heed the unimportant re-
quest of schoolboy 1t shows us that
Lincoln hated all injustice, however
humble the object of 1t might be.

Have You a Pretty Back?

The woman is to be pitied who. no
matter how beautiful her face or form.
lacks the modish back. with it's wonder
full curves and rounded lines. OF no
part of the body is it quite so true that
curves are the lines of beauty as it is
of the back.
If you chance to possess a back that
Is all angles instead of curves then it
Is evident that you must eschew decol-
lete dresses. as for the next few
months frocks cut so as to expose a
the rage.
The back that fascinates the eye is
slender. but not thin. 1t is Overlaid
with a yelling Of firm white flesh. 1t
slopes gently into the waist line by al
most imperceptible degrees. Have you
such back. lady fair?
One thing that every self respecting
back should have is a dimple in the
center of each shoulder blade. If your
back is dimpleless it might be a good
idea to treat 1t to fifteen minute mas
sage with cod liver oil every night. as
this fattening treatment will bring
dimples If anything will.
Since the back to be pretty must be
white and satiny the wise little maid
en- scrubs it nightly with bath brush
fairly dripping with hot soda water.
What kind of water is this? Simply
water to which have been added two
heaping tablespoonfuls of ordinary
baking soda and small handful of
shredded soap. This simple skin cleans

Mllady's
Mirror
Hair During Illness.


Whenever person is ill at home
one of the points most likely to be neg
lected is the care of the hair. In
great many cases women recover from
an illness of only few days to find
their hair so snarled and matted that
1t almost is impossible ever to remove
the tangles
If on the first day of an illness the
hair is properly taken care of there
need be no occasion for this condition.
The hair should be parted down the
center and braided in two braids. The
braids should commence far enough
toward the front that the patient will
not lie on them when the back Of her
head is on the pillow. The hair should
be combed at least once a day. The
patient should lie on her side, and then
One-half of the hair can be dressed
without any trouble, no matter how
sick the pa ient may be.
In combing the hair one should COM
mence at the ends. gradually remov-
ing the tangles by working upward.
If the hair is grasped by the left hand
between the roots and the part being
combed the patient will not complain
of the pulling.
If the hair is badly tangled olive oil
may be applied. which will greatly less
en- the labor Where the mating Is
extensive it is not best to try to comb
out all tangles at once, as it would be
too much of tax on the patient A
few strands can be separated at
time, then braided so as not to become
tangled again.
When patient is compelled to lie In
bed for number of weeks the hair
may be washed without much incon-
venience and without danger to the
patient. The pillow should be well
protected by a rubber sheet and the
patient moved as near the edge of the
bed as possible. Two basins of rather
hot water, one containing the shampoo
mixture and the other for rinsing,
should be in readiness One side of
the hair should be washed at time,
then rinsed well. The hair and scalp
may be nearly dried very quickly with
several towels. After the shampoo
the hair should remain spread out on
the pillow for some time until thor
Oughly dry. A little alcohol may be
rubbed into the scalp after rinsing.
Care should be taken that the patient
is not exposed to a draft for some time.
1t is in the little details, such as the
care of the hair, the teeth and the fin
ger nails. that the thoroughness and
training Of nurse are best shown. The
finger nails should be given proper
care every day as well as the hair,
while the teeth need attention several
times day.

Bolivia's Silver Mountain.

Cerro de Potosi. the great conical
mountain that is responsible for the
existence of the city of Potosi, Bolivia.
Is practically a solid mass OF silver
and tin ore. ranging in richness from
point where it Is valueless to ore
running 80 and 60 per cent of silver
and tin. The mines have been worked
for $50 years. and during that time
something like $4,000, 100000 worth of
silver has been taken from the noun
tain. Water power for the mine is OBJ

at various times between l545 and the
close of the seventeenth century. SO

Treatment For Fine Skins.

Some girls have such fine skin that
during the cold weather it is necessary
for them to wear veil almost all the
time to keep it from chapping. If a
protective agent such as powder be
used 1t is absolutely necessary that 1t
be pure. as the more delicate the skin
the more care must be exercised In
what is used upon it.
The following preparation is most
valuable. If properly applied 1t will
protect the skin:
Mix and sift together several times
until free from Jumps three ounces
each of rice -four and rice starch. one
and one-half ounces OF carbonate of
magnesia. one quarter of an ounce of
finely powdered orris root. half an
ounce of boric acid and ten drops Of
essence OF rose.
Before applying to the face all the
skin should first have previous ap-
plication of a thin film of cold cream or
almond oil.

THE ROAD SCHOOL
To be Held in the Library Building
at Madison, Feb. IS to Il.
DISCUSSION BY H. J. KUELLING
Use OF Explosives in ouarryIns and
in Road Construction Explained
Much Practical instruction.

In Road Construction Explained
Much Practical instruction.
The Second Annual Road School of
the Wisconsin Highway Commission
will be held in the Public Library, Mad
ison, February 49, 81 inclusive.
The men who will participate in the
program are practical ROAD builders,
and have had the benefit Of one years
experience in constructing highways
under the direction Of the Wisconsin
Highway Commission. This fact will
give the second annual road school
special educational value, bringing to-
gether as it will the combined expert
ence and knowledge of the men who
have built roads in every part Of the
state.
Arrangements have been made for
exhibitions Of moving pictures showing
the construction of concrete roads, and
a discussion of this important subject
by II. j. Kuelling, Highway Commits
sioner of Milwaukee county, where the
bulk of this work was done in 1912.
There will also be an exhibition of
moving pictures by brick manufactur-
ers showing the construction of brick
pavements. Every phase Of road work,
in every part of the state will be dis
cussed.
The use of explosives in quarrying
and road construction will be given by
V. M. Weeks of the Du Pont Powder
Company.
The discussion of such questions as
"Shall Road Word Be Done by Con-
tract or under the Day Labor System -
Labor Supply and Prices" Board
ing Men and Teams" are few Of the
practical subjects to be instructive to
every man interested in the scientific
construction of highways in Wisconsin.
There will be an exhibition of road
machinery and of surveying instru
ments by the various manufacturers, so
that purchasing committees will have
an opportunity to meet the representa-
tives OF these firms who will explain
the merits of their machines, rollers,
graders, crushers, and other machinery
used in road construction.
The road school will be in session
four days, and bringing together as it
does all Of the staff of road and bridge
engineers Of the Wisconsin Highway
Commission, the county highway COM
missioners and committees on road con-
struction, it will afford the greatest
opportunity for gathering information
and instruction, as well as getting &C
quinted with all the forces at work in
building better roads under the new
state aid law in Wisconsin. All per
sons interested in the good road move
ment are cordially invited to attend.
