and drastic character in American
history. 1t has shattered precedents
by the score and laid out new cour-
ses .eachIng FAR into the future Of
american civilization.
The last year in Congress may
properly be divided into two distinct
parts-frst, that Of prompt and IN.

and, second, that Of earnest and Wig.
Gus criticism of the war manage.
nent The former period occupied

Prays for Red Hair.

At a religious meeting in Pennsyl-
vania a youth asked the prayers Of the
pastor and people in order that he
might become redheaded. 1t seems
that his hair was of yellowish-w
shade that was no color at all. He had
heard the red heads were good scrap
pers, and he was praying the Lord to
give him red hair so that he might go
forth. to fight the kaiser. There's
something in this, too. and there's an
idea abroad that regiment Of auburn
haired Amazons could put a crimp in
the Prussian quicker than whole d.
vision of mere chocolate-haired men.
