Forgive me child, but does he

wife?'
II don't know.-This is what
he said. Alice. dear Alice,

Talks and Shoots

Frank Kelly, lawyer, can shoot
the eyes out of a billiard ball
with more ease than he can shoot
an acquittal verdict into a jury.
Kelly has been accused of be-
ing some talker. Loungers at his
favorite billiard parlors are OF
the opinion that he even can
make the worries talk.
Frank has even gone SO far
into the game that he owns his
own cue. 1t is one of those foxy
jointed cues, which he carries in
a leather case. Kelly's game and
Hopes are similar in this phase.
If Kelly is not in the office,
clients would do well to call up
Thomas. He can talk between
shots.

For Safety First

Everett G. Griggs, who has a
thing or two to do with the ST.
Paul & Tacoma Lumber Co, is
one of those persons known as a
lover of horse flesh. While he
hasn't anything against an auto
mobile, he resembles a Kentucky
colonel in his sincere love OF
horses.

go plumb to the dogs, friends OF

Pings Clay Birds

Dave Bales, who made ham
and eggs famous, is just too nutty
for words over cracking clay
pigeons.
Trap shooting is practically a
new sport in Tacoam and Dave is
one of the Daddies of the sport.
Dave dreams of clay discs when
he is Tapping hot cakes. In fact
it is almost a mania.
He has gone so far as to buy a
silver cup for competition among
members of the Tacoma Gun
club. And Dawes greatest ambi-
ton is to have his name appear
on that cup before it is gone.
Then why should he care about
being president?

Stuck. on Stamps

James A. Hays, 3211 North
31st street. would rather have a
funny looking stamp than a new
bank note. He has several vol
ums of stamps from every place
that can sport post office or a
postal system.
Mr.. Hays is interested in Sun
day school work and through this
has an intimate acquaintance
with several missionaries who
send him stamps.
Hays can have more fun look
ing at sheet of stamps at the
post office, picking out ones with
slightly different shades, than a
kid can have In jam jar.
He has the best collection in
the city.

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is
very injurious. as 1T dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is
abundance of rich, creamy lather
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to
handle. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.

choirs, and other organizations.
Inspired the formation of II Polly
anna Clubs.
Seen by all the little cripples from
the Philadelphia Home for Incurables

Attended by students of rs schools
under the guidance of their teachers
