An Extravaaant Woman.

my Aunte Frette was In certain
ways the most extravagant woman ]
ever Knew" stated the old codger.
"For example, she got the measles at
sixty-seven, when by taking time by
the forelock she could just a. wen
have had them at nine."-Judee.

lions are governed by 1t. Their belief
In warfare is to ask no quarter and to
give none. They will fight until the last
gasp.
The Gurkhas pray to their koorkree,
the most murderous looking knife ]
ever saw. They never draw that knife
unless they spill blood, and II you
want TO see one of the weapons you
must let them cut your finger before
you may look at it. These Gurkhas are
supposed to be the best fighters Of any
Of the Indian troops, and In recognition
Of this fact their pay is just ! half
penny q day less than that OF the white
soldier.
The Sikh places caste above every.
thing. He will not drink from any
thing that has been used by white
nan, for If he did he would lose caste.
If be happens to be eating and white
mans shadow falls across the Sikh's
food he will starve rather than touch It
again.
The Indians got along very well with
the French people, and some or them
could even talk little broken French.
The suffering among the Indians dur
ing the first winter was terrible. but
they bore 1t all fairly cheerfully and
did their duty we'll They are not
trench fighters, though, and cannot
play the waiting game. They want to
get out at the enemy, and the officers
have their work cut out to keep them
In the trenches for very long.
The Germans certainly did not like
the Indians a little bit The Indians
belief regarding no quarter Is not es-
pecially nice to think about, and their
natural instincts are hard to control
They have weakness for cutting on
.ars and heads and keeping other little
souvenirs The Germans know this
and naturally It puts the fear Of death
into them.
I spent Christmas day Of 1914 In the
trenches jnst south Of Ypres. Christ.
mas eve was a beautiful night and the
Germans who held the trenches oppo-
site left us very much alone the entire
evening. We didn't bother them either.
There was beautiful moon, and
with everything 30 quiet and peaceful
It was hard to realize that there was
a war on. During the evening the Ger
mans started singing, and heard
some OF the most beautiful music ]
ever listened to In my life. The song
might start Just opposite us. and 1t
would be taken up all along the line
and soon 1t would seem as II all tho
Germans In Belgium were singing.
When they had finished we would ap-
plaud with all our might, and then We
wonld give them Q song In return.
A regiment In the trenches started
my Old Kentucky Home The men
were getting well along with It when
some one In the German trenches join
ed the singing In Just as good English
as any Of Us could speak. It was beau
tiful, but It made me awfully home
nick. After they had finished the same
German voice sang Dancing Around"
and, believe me, that fellow could sing
ragtima He was applauded uproari-
eusly, and than We sang some more

dangers and jsopardizes the fnture OF

fatherland, supports nation two.thirds

Of furnishing daily the food Of 1000, 600

Of 10, 00O, 900, and the food of these 10

gradual diversion and destruction OF

from the support of another 100 ,000, ,000

wholly into . state OF dependency upon

matter for hope Of rapid solution. A
mere glance at the prices OF pork prod

HAIR OFTEN RUINED
BY WASHING WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very care
fully, II you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
ruins It.
The best thing for steady use
is just ordinary mulsified cocoa
nut oil (Which is pure and
greaseless), and is better than
the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub 1t in. It
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out
easily, removing every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and II leaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and few ounces will sup
ply every member of the family
for months.

FLEMINGTON, y. j.. June ~. - Caro-
Mayworen, charged with numbering three
members of the Queen family at Mount
Pleasant last Thursday, is closely guarded
in Jail here today after being saved from
lynching by former Sheriff weider
Fishermen casting their lines in a small
swampy stream near Mount pleasant last
night saw a man answering the fugitive's
description emerge from the woods carry
ing an AK They sounded an alarm and
soon the swamp was surrounded by hum
dreds of persons armed with pitchforks and
guns.
Mayworen tried to escape across the
stream when the crowd closed in, but a
charge Of birdshot stunned him long enough
to be overpowered. For a moment he tried
to defend himself with the ak, but was
soon bound and shackled.
Threats Of iynchng then came from the
crowd and the Sheriff and his deputies were
forced to draw their revolvers to keep them
away from the prisoner,
Mayworen was lodged in the Flemington
jail. which was placed under heavy guard
A mob of angry citizens remained nearby
through the night waiting for a chance to
take the prisoner from custody,
