With this beautiful peroration,
Mr. Sergeant Buzfuz sat down,
and Mr.. Justice Starleigh woke
up.
Call Elizabeth Cluppins,"
said Sergeant Buzfuz, rising a
minute afterwards, with re-
newed vigor.
The nearest usher called for
Elizabeth Tuppins; another one,
at a little distance off, demanded
Elizabeth Jupkins; and third
rushed in a breathless state into
King Street, and screamed for
Elizabeth Mullins till he was
hoarse.
Meanwhile Mrs. Cluppins, with
the combined assistance of Mrs.
Bardell, Mrs. Sanders, Mr.. Dod-
son. and Mr.. Fogg, was hoisted
into the witness-box.
"Mrs. Cluppins," said Ser
geant Buzfuz, pray compose
yourself. ma'am." OF course, di-
rectly Mrs. Cluppins was desired
to compose herself she gave d.
yers alarming manifestations of
an approaching fainting fit, or.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what
you wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful. Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil (Which is pure
and entirely greaseless), is much
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly
injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily and removes every particle of
dust, dirt. dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly. and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsihed cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. It is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the fam
lily for months.

Yesterday was independence Day
in France, and two of us woke up at
T.30 a. M. most ungodly hour to see
the parade. OF course we missed our
breakfast besides walking about 100
miles. Considering the trouble we
took, we did not see much. as the
crowd was a jam. We climbed onto
the roof of house but even then we
could only see the shellproof helmets
and bayonets. Came home with a
corn on my little toe and an ache in
my head. Ache is gone now, but the
corn is still there.
We have a small (petit) breakfast
served in our rooms every morning
at 8 a. m. I say small because it
only consists of two slices of bread
Chick slices), cup of coffee and some
butter.
The clocks are all set ahead here.
and Q o'clock is really eight, and it's
the funniest thing to come around
10 p. m. and twilight is just setting
in. Board and room costs me eight
francs day ($1.60), but since we got
no butter we ordered it extra. so it
will probably come higher.
