this stuff when he loses a player, and
managers of prize fighters run the

Ford has not been a whale for two

returning to the form that made him
sensation, and struck his real

is wide opportunity for dreaming.

on the mountain the letters Of their
order, and later were forced by United
States Forester Wheeler to return and
efface the letters.
Hours were required by the girls
to make the hazardous climb to the
summit of the peak. Finally they
reached the point they sought. There
they daubed upon the bare face of the
peak the insignia of their sorority.
Wheeler discovered the identity Of
the girls and told them that to es-

The girls sought legal advice, and
learned that the forester was correct.
They again made the climb and re-

NO CAMEL'S HAIR BRUSHES
Many Kinds Of Hair Are Used for the
Purpose, That From Squirrel
Tails Best.

1t may sound rather strange, but 1t
is nevertheless true that no brushes
are ever made of camels hair, yet they
are asked for daily and sold as such.
There are very many kinds Of hair
used in the making Of "camel's-hair"
brushes, such as bear, fox, rabbit.
squirrel, etc. and, indeed, one author
ity states that over $50 sorts OF
brushes are known as "camel's-hair'
brushes, but there is only one detini-
ton accepted by the British Board OF
Trade-"camel's-h air" brushes made
from squirrel tails. these being the
best and most expensive.
Real camels hair is absolutely use
less for making brushes, and resembles
soft tow OF yellow-brownish color
the name of camel is the only part
which could be used, and possibly a
dozen brushes could be made from one
name
As matter of fact there are only
two specimens Of brushes made from
the actual hair of a camel in existence.
The reason for the term camel s-hair
is the fact that man named Camel
was the first one to make these finer
kinds OF brushes, and they became
generally known as real camel's-hair
brushes. STRAY Stories.

FALLS TEN STORIES; UNHURT
steel Workman Looks Around, and
Goes Back to Work on an
Omaha Hotel.

Omaha, Neb.-J. w. Snyder, steel
workman, fell from the tenth floor OF
the new Pontelle hotel in this city,
hit the ground squarely, got up and
looked around and then started back
to work Snyder's fall was broken by
live electric wire carrying $50
volts.
Just where he struck the ground
there was great pile of loose earth.
He landed with the full length OF
his body on this dirt. Physicians who
examined him after the fall say there
was absolutely no damage except for
slight scalp wound.
Snyder was working on the tenth
floor when he slipped and went over
the side for sheer fall of more than
100 feet. The live wire was 20 feet
from the ground, and Snyder struck
it squarely on his back. One of the
poles broke, and Snyder hit the dirt
pile comparatively easy.

could get enough of the latter We
would have no need for the former. but
this isn't practicable logging off

beans. peanuts and wheat and rye and
