REFUSES TO BE HELD UP.

One worm turncd--a rich New
Yorker He turned down a cater
er's bin of SIS for 14-pound
cooked ham and sent a check for
S14, saying that was a fair price
and permitted plenty of profit. He
was sued for Sill but the court
held that the buyer had a right to
exercise judgment as to value, even
il he failed TO stipulate and con-
tract in advance, The seller had
no right to collect more than tho
ham was worth.
Doubtless the easier and cheaper
way for the customer to have set
tied the matter would have been
to pay the bill ana then cease to
patronize the profiteering mer-
chant. but such a course would
have been compromising with
principle The right way was
taken. The effect should be to
prevent the dealer trying the game
on others.
In the experience of the average
individual excessive charge is often
borne without comment because
one does not want to appear to be
classed as kicker or cheap
skate" or extortion is endured
because one does not wish to enter

rector Of the bureau of war risk
insurance to an investigating conf
mittee of the house of representa-
tives that Of 100000 or more
service men who carried govern
ment insurance during the war all
but 100000 have allowed their pol

deplorable situation. The value OF
life insurance is so widely recog-
nized that to give up the extraor-
dinarily cheap war policy, behind
which stands the wealth of the ma.

The director of the bureau told
congress he was confident that the
number of policyholders would, be
increased to 100000 within five
years. philosophical organiza-
tons should cooperate with him

see from the list of prices for henna

and a half.

1t isn't very expensive. 1t consists
in having the eyebrows that stand
in the way of making your eye.
brows a perfectly straight. narrow
arch simply plucked out. To have
too light eyebrows penciled in is
not so easy, because any penciling
method is usually very artificial in
appearance, but to trim the eye
brows produces entirely satisfac-
tory results If you admire the thin,
neat arch.
II you keep your ears open here
and there where women discuss
their beauty secrets, you will find
that the plucked eyebrow is not
so much admired. 1t is a nuisance,
some say. And it would seem that
a gooC many women are letting
their eyebrows grow back in again.
Still, the beauty parlors report that
there is still a lively demand for
this sort of treatment.
The eyebrow that is entirely
missing has never been the ideal
of beauty among us, although
among some Orientals it is Gus
tomary to shave the eyebrows of
married women. The idea is not to
add beauty, but to make them less
attractive to possible intruders.
However, Queen Mary Tudor was
almost entirely lacking in eye
brows, and so out of respect to the
queen during her reign in England,
eyebrows were in slight repute. |
None of the Tudors was any too
blessed with eyebrows. They were |
strongly adnixed with the sandy |
and If you notice per-
sons of this type not infrequently |
have to get along with the mini
mum of eyebrows.
Taken all in all, the very heavy /
eyebrow has never been so much 1
admired in women as IN men. 1t |
IS said to betoken great physical |
endurance and mental strength as
well, and of course the. ideal for
women has ever been one that be-
tokens more of the yielding, gentle
attributes.
The Italians, who praised wom-
ans beauty three and four hundred |
years ago, all seemed to be agreed /
hat the eyebrows should be light
v arched, as the heavy eyebrow
to a woman's face a look
If fierceness and intensity that was |
lot admirable in woman.

The price list that hangs in the
up-to-date hair-dressing, face
identifying establishments throws
some interesting sidelights on the
trend of facial fashions of the day.
For there you can learn of the va
rious sorts of things that women
want to have done to their hair
and necks and faces and hands.
You can learn that down on the
upper lip, which in times past has
been somewhat admired, is con-
sidered a blemish, so much so that
women win pay eXorbitant prices
to have it removed. You may find
that straight, glossy hair, so much
eulogizedl in Oriental literature and
praised now and again in our own,
gives way almost entirely in pres
ent-day coiffing to hair that is
waved in one way or another. That

THE PRESS AGENT.

Thanks to the war we have with
us more than ever the press agent.
A press agent may be defined as a
newspaper man who has left his
profession in order to make more
money writing stuff that makes life
miserable for his former associates
in the news room.
Press agents sprang up during
the war along with the new Million
aires, and now their tribe is in
creasing faster than that Of the lat
ter. Newspapers were found, to be
such easy suckers that a new press
agent is made every minute to use
up valuable white paper and filch
valuable space from unsuspecting
publishers,
1t must be great to be a press
agent. Instead of having to grab
a bunch OF copy paper and adven-
ture into the city in search of
news, The press agent sits behind
a typewriter in a comfortable Of
flee and turns out copy from bull
letins and reports furnished him
by the third assistant secretary to
the fourth vice president of the
company he works for or takes
notes from the secretary of the
committee he represents. Nice
job, Ell?
There are divers kinds of press
agents, but the gents may be
roughly divided into two classes
those who work for a corporation
and those who are employed by
some movement" Nearly all tire
companies, trust companies anu
railroad corporations employ men
to prepare copy explaining the
growth, development and policies
of their various corporations. This
copy is nothing less than advertis-
ing and fills the editors waste
baskets.
Tie second class of press agents
represent some movement" which
aims at the upbuilding of some
thing or other or securing the in
of some little nation,
or obtaining special privileges ror
the Society for the Prevention Of
Something or Other"
Copy prepared by these press
agents is--if not advertising-pure
and simple propaganda, and the
publisher who cares more about
securing concessions for the Hot /
tentots, lowering the duty on rub
Der heels to Armenia. .or helping
The. -demopubliean party TO success

TUESDAY. .....MARCH 23 1890
WILSON'S r1FTY-r1FTY SPLIT

Time was when President Wilson
had pretty nearly all of the demo.
cratic senators-lacking Just one
of half the total membership OF
the senate-with him for ratifyine
the treaty of peace. or at least
if any but Senator Reed were I'M
willing they kept silent about it.
AS debate proceeded and the Am
erican people saw the complica-
tons involved in the arrangement.
senators began to fear to follow
their old leader, and to seek modi-
fications of the treaty in accord
with the public wish, But the
president has never been able 20
see that public opinion has grown
positive against any binding agree
ment as to future cooperation with
Europe in control through force Of
nations across oceans, if a majority
of a league so concluded to whip
or staFve them into any course.
When the article 10 amendment
proposed was passed to the presi-
dent by Senator Hitchcock, in
letter sent for the purpose OF learn
ing whether Wilson desired to go
on with the suicidal program, the
president answered by writing on
the margin Of the amendment
copy; Not satisfactory to me-
w. w Nevertheless eight demo-
cratic senators voted for it.
Finally 2 democratic senators
cut loose from the White House
and voted for ratification of the
amended document, leaving but 20
democratic Wilson treaty support
ers some of whom doubtless will
decline to stand by if another bal |
lot ever be taken in the senate
Apparently the president wilI
pursue the course he threatened
some time ago-stand pat and try
10 have a campaign issue, believing |
the country will endorse his action !
by cleCtinC an executive and sem /
ate to put the original treaty |
through.
But how can he expect any such |
result when half of the senators of /
his own party have abandoned |
support Of the treaty in the shape |
in which he submitted it? He can
no longer lead his own party, judg- !
ing ny this fifty-fifty among sena-
tors who are representative of the /
democratic forces scattered all |
over the country.
But admitting that a campaign
upon such an issue would cause
some changes either way, more
than one third of the senators who
hold over for the next two years
are against the original theaty
will continue to vote for reserva-
tons and can defeat ratification
unless substantial notifications be
made. according to Hoke smith,
democratic senator from Georgia.
No matter what overturn may
como in the senate or who may
he elected president through carry
ing the question to the people,
so far as electing a president and
senators is concerned, not for two
years yet can there be a chance OF
n two-thirds majority to ra 'ify the
treaty which wills, II says
must not be changed in any re-
spcct.

Silver City Enterprise: Great ac-
tivity throughout the White Signal
district since it became generally
known that the mineral torbernite,
an ore of radium, had been discov-
cred there. Prospectors are scour-
ing the entire district and at least
one occurrence of rare metal has
been reported during the week ana
that at considerable distances from
the original discovery point.
The holders Of the option on the
original discovery, Mr. and Mrs.
Leach of Tyrone, have a large force
of men doing assessment work on
the twenty claims recently taken
up. In addition TO this Ed Perrault

The Duncan Mining and Milling
company have just completed
splendid mill near Steeplerock at
a cost Of $4,000 on property adj
joining the old Jim Grow. They
will be operating in short time.
They have their mine developed
to the 300-foot level with plenty
of good milling ore in sight.

are operating the Carlisle under
lease and recently recovered on the
300-foot level what is believed to
be the original 4 ore shoot and
which they ar9 now mining be-
tween the 300 and 400-foot levels.
The first car of ore from this loca-
ton showed average values of $52
to the ton, $50 of which was in
gold.
The Nugget mine is another that
is showing up wonderfully well, a
recent shipment from that mine
running 500 to the ton, of which
$12 was gold.
The richest ore now being taken
out in the district however comes
from the Norman King, which is
located at Clear Lake, four miles
of the Carlisle. Here
assays running from $500 to $1,000
a ton are frequently obtain. The
first two cars of ore shipped from
the Norman King netted $1,000
in gold and silver and the last four
cars were worth $4,000 apiece.
