The Red-Haired Woman. Protest Against the Jibes ot Statesmen and Jokesmiths. Kansas City Journal. Red-haired women, from the Titlanesque goddess in the temple of Iris to our own Mrs. Leslie Carter, have never lacked tor devotees or valiant, champions in the hours of their disparagement. Indeed, the red-haired women of all ages have glorified their kind and have walked through the world with a queenly grace all their own. Before the flamant majesty of this type the far wo men of the North have bowed ( and the raven-tressed maidens of , the South have shrunk. Red hair < and mastery have always gone | hand in hand, and even man, the mightiest of the earth, cring es in the dust at the feet, of the i woman whose crowning glory is aflame. , ''What would the gentleman do | if he were to witness a husband beating his wife?" asked Representative Gaines, of Texas, of Representative Stanley, of Kentucky, in the debate over the proposed whipping post for cruel husdands. 1 uIt would depend on the husband and on his wife. If she were I red headed, even my Southern chivalry would not tempt me to < interfere," was the crafty response of the man from Ken- i tucky. Tins historic utterance in the < 1.-11. . f *L_ . -i' 1 ?i nans ui me nations councils lias ^ revived discussion concerning the red-haired woman and her preeminent position in the 1 world's advancement. As a test, a Chicago newspaper sent to the police court, to find out her po- ' lice record. uYou don't see her 1 in police court. That's one prool she isn't as bad as the tunny < men paint her," said one judge. 1 'Either that or she does the job so thoroughly that her victim isn't able to secure a warrant, i 'in. -I- - - - '1 > ni? uiiom who give 1110 ponce i the most trouble are the ones rifch black hair. 1 should say there are ten brunettes in the . police court to one blonde, and there are fifty golden-haired women there tor one red haired woman." That reduces the per centage of red-haired victims, in Chicago at, least, to an almost in 1 fintesimal degree. The red haired woman can make an exceedingly good case from history against her black- 1 haired sister. Mary, the mother j ol Jesus, had red hair, which I gave the auburn tinge to the i meek and lowly Na/erene. Cleopatra's hair, on the other hand, was k'as black as Egypt's night." Sappho, she of tho divine pas sion, had glowing locks, while j Lueretia liorgia was as dark as Iw.r .1 -.1 ur I . 1- 1- ' . > 11V . m-r.iB, tl Mil (.

I Value of a Newspaper. 1 never took a paper that didn't pay me more than 1 paid for it. One time an old friend of mine started a paper way down South and sent a copy to me and I sub scribed just to encourage him and alter awhile it published an order to sell a lot at public auction. So 1 inquired about the lot and told a friend to run it up to $50. He bid off the lot at $38 and it sold in less than a month for $100, so 1 made $62 clear by taking that paper. My father 4 I 1 4 I A. I 101a me inai wnen no was a young man he saw a notice in a paper that a school teacher was wanted away off in a distant county, and he went and got the situation, and a little girl was sent to him and after awhile she grew up sweet and beautiful and lie married Iter. Now if he had not taken the paper what do you suppose would have become of me ? I would have been some ether fellow, or maybe I wouldn't have been at all.?B:ll Arp. ruuu^u x aiagiapito, 111 health makes wealth?for the M. D. Ridicule is another name for the argument of a tool.

Beware of men who pray out of one side of their mouth and iwear out of the other. Ever notice how cheerfully a woman gives her order in a res laurant when there is a man along i o pay t he freight. Another Way to Get Rid of Musk-rats. Monroe Enquirer. "A prominent farmer of the county," says the Lancaster News, "lias given us the iollow mg plan to get rid ot musk-rats: 'Mix crushed gla s with dough and then place portions of the mixture in drains along the creek, where it will he found by the little animals.' He says any one who will try this plan will never have his bottom corn damaged by musk rats." Now this reminds The Enquirer of another plan: When a small hoy. and preferring rat-killing or almost any old 1111 it10 noeinn corn, w 1 in xeU ? l)ox of "Rough "ii Knis" in h cake Ol dough and thoroughly conked the whole.
