IS YEAR OLD TIRES or WORLD
Writes That His Life Has Been Fall
ure Then Takes
Poison.

y Atlanta, Ga.-Leaving a note in
which he declared that his life had
been failure and that there was moth
ing left to live for, Leroy Thomas, a
fifteen-year-old country boy, attempted
suicide here by swallowing poison.
His attempt was unsuccessful.
Four weeks ago Leroy came to the
city to make his fortune, On the trip
to Atlanta he began in a little diary
the story of his conquest of the world.
His attempt was after three weeks of
failure. He now says that he will al
ways be satisfied with his happy home
on the farm.
When he fell after swallowing the
acid, he clutched In his hand a note
to his father It read:
Il am a complete failure. There's
no need of me causing my folks any
more trouble. / want to go where
mamma went year ago. I'll be bet
ter on there. am in the way here.
They don't want folks in this world
who are failures. Goodby."
In his pockets were pawn tickets
for most of his possessions he had
brought to the city with him, telling
OF a struggle against odds that were
too much for the unframed country
lad. Doctors say he will be able /,
go back to his home within week.

Discernment and care are needed in
order to copy the new styles in hair
dressing that look SO simple and are
In reality SO artfuI. But the results
are SO good that any amount of pains
taking effort is well repaid.
The new coiffures are distinctly re-
fined. They follow the contour Of the
head and their lines are simple and
graceful. The hair may or may not
be waved but 1t must be glossy and
show that it, is well cared for; bur
nished, in fact, with much brushing.
In nearly every instance the hair
Is arranged in coils at the back OF
the head, or in braids. The ears are
partially covered and the front hair
is usually parted in the middle or at
one side. A great many styles are
finished with light fringe on the
forehead, especially those that draw
their inspiration from the French
hairdressers.
About all coiffures employ a band
Of some sort to conhne the front hair
and keep it in place about the face.

Much of the forehead and a little Of
the cheek is covered, sometimes with
small fat ringlets, but oftener with
light strands of hair turned back and
confined by a band Of ribbon or by an
ornamental band made for the pur.
pose.
Big, soft braids are wound about
the head in some models. In others
the hair is arranged in knot in the
middle Of the crown, with a coil at
each side Of 1t. Short curls nestle at
the neck, protruding from coils or
braids, but always held close to the
head. When the hair is too short to
form coils or braids it Is waved and
combed back, with the ends tucked
under and pinned in at the nape of
the neck. A light fringe and ringlets
do much to soften the line at the fore
head.
Where the hair is thin but suffi-
GENTLY long, any Of the new styles
may be managed BY adding one or
two light switches.

METHOD OF KEEPING HORSES


The truth OF the statement that the
method of handling and the stable ac-
computations have marked influ-
ence on the amount Of food required
to keep a horse in good condition has
been proven by investigations made
in Columbus by the animal husbandry
students of the college of agriculture,
Ohio state university.
These investigations have been car
ried on for several years, oVern1 900
head Of horses being included. It was
found that the concerns with the poor
est accommodations for their horses,
and where the least care was given,
were paying out largest amount for
feed.
The average cost of keeping horses
in Columbus is 40.1 cents a day, and
contrary to popular belief heavy ex-
press horses are fed for nearly two
and one-half cents less than light
driving horses. The lowest cost was
$S9.O2 per year in the case Of an un-
'derfed animal, and the highest cost
was $229.02, stallion being fitted for
show.
!. One noticeable fact was the alb
sence Of variety in the ration. the prin-
ciple roughage being timothy hay the
year round, and it was common to
find this given in excess. Corn and
oats constituted the principal grains
fed In one instance a saving of
$11.15 per animal. or yearly saving
of 1868, was brought about by the
use OF four pounds of oat straw in
place of similar amount Of hay.

Citizens FAVOR
IMPROVEMENT
BILLS

When the select committee Of Oahu
senators took up s. B. l29, which Is n
sister measure of s. B. Ill. and pro-
rides for the manner of raising money
for the widening. opening or other
wise improving streets, 1t found a
large number of persons present, a
number OF whom represented improve
ment clubs. which have heartily en-
dorsed the bill, while others appeared
for paving companies.
II was late when the committee
finally reached this bill. having first
disposed Of the franchise measures. so
sion or take It up by sections. J. A.
Gilman OF the bitulithic company sug-
gested an amendment to the clause
which restricts the kind of materials
TO be used In improving the streets to
one which admits OF competition. He
wished the bill amended so as to make
it possible for him to bid for the street
work, or to enable to petitioners OF q
district to specify his or another ma
terial. The committee took his sug-
sestions under consideration. He
makes the point that the nature Of his
paving does not admit OF competition
under such clause as Is projected.
That the measure Is to be highly
popular was shown last night when
the members OF various Improvement
clubs. discussing the bill before the
committee took 1t up, declared that
IL was OF inestimable importance. and
that they would rather see this meas
ure pass, together with 8. b III. than
any other piece of legislation before
