There is newness in the millinery styles this season more than ever
Thor has never been such wealth of variety in colors in materials and in
styles One of the quaint things about this business is that this season
Jnr real early wear black and white combinations are to be very much tho
fad But these combinations must be in novelty shapes and trimmings
to be right
Silk hats urn beautiful and will be seen often during the months of
September and October After that tho stylo setters will wear beaver
and velvet and even silk and velvet combination
Some of t e hats look 11 bit freaky in tho hand but on tho head thoy
look j retty and every hat has the happy lines that help one to appear
more youthful
Willow plumes are quite the rage already in tho cities and laree
wings are now b ing wore The treets present a picture Many of the
best dress d women have already donned the newest Fall hats

DEMONIAC PLEASANTRY
Humorous Diversion of the Roman
Emperor Commodus
Professional barbers are said to have
been introduced into Rome by Menus
from Sicily of which island he was
praetor In the days of Cicero Dnder
the empire their shops In some In
stances became fashionable resorts at
which every luxury of the toilet was
enjoyed and the gossip and news of
Rome and the empire were discussed
The menus luxury and weaknesses of
personal adornment therein carried to
excess are amply immortalized in the
pages of Terence Plautus Horace
Juvenal and Martial
Other barber shops were more re
tired as we learn from the annals of
the Emperor Commodus who having
wearied at times of the wholesale trag
edies of the Coliseum wherein armies
engaged In murder at his savage be
hest and being desirous of a little
humorous diversion used like the
caliph of Bagdad iu the Arabian
Nights to disguise himself and sally
forth accompanied by two or more of
his favorites and having hired a bar
ber shop suitable for his purpose
would place one of Ills men at the door
to solicit custom
Having secured a customer the em
peror barber would politely affix the
towel and apply the lather all the time
Keeping up a running lire of the latest
jests and little pleasantries until the
customer awl himself were almost m i
ihii with laugher Then the keen
d raoi won l uid aiming
regrets and proffer- or assistance the
noseless victim would he assisted to
the rear of the shop where between
threats and bribes he was kept from
making a riot until one or two more
victims were added to the uumber and
Commodus weary of his
was ready to return to tin
palace or to the areua Charles Win

The Mails
When does a crime become punish
able When it is committed by mail
The mail is the most sacred thing
known to the United States govern
mem except itself Nothing but trea
son surpasses in egregiousness the mis
use of the mails So far as the federal
authorities are concerned one may
steal gamble and murder so long as it
is not done by correspondence Do ye
whatsoever ye will one unto another
but do not write it down and stick a
stamp on the upper right hand corner
for if ye do then in truth will all the
demons of justice be unloosed upon
your trail Life

A Boys Remarkable Adventure
With a Pet Bear
WHIRLED ABOUT LIKE A TOY
After the Unique Performance Was
Over Seventy six Stitches In the
Lads Scalp and Rolls of Surgical
Plaster on His Shins Saved His Life
lien was u pet black bear four years
old and as good natured and friendly
as if his ancestors had never had bad
reputations There Is only one occa
sion on record says his owner Mr
William II Wright In his biography
of Ben in Mack Bear when even to
appearances did Ben misbehave him
self
The circumstances being examined
however the animal came off with his
good name virtually untouched Ben
had been left in his shed as usual
Later in the day a crowd was seen
about the door I hurried home to
tiud most of tho women of the neigh
borhood wringing their hands and call
ing down all kinds of trouble on my
head
At tlrst 1 could make neither head
nor tall of the clamor but finally gath
ered that that bloodthirsty savage
and unspeakable bear of mine had
killed a boy and upon asking to see the
victim 1 was told that the remains
had been taken to a neighbors house
and a doctor summoned
This was pretty serious news but
knowing that whatever had happened
Ben had not taken the offensive with
out ample cause I unchained him and
nut- film in tlwi nulliir tf nt linitun ivnll
j out of harms way before looking fur-
ther into the matter Then I went
over to the temporary morgue and
found the corpse it was one of the
Drlin boys sitting up on the kitchen
j lloor holding a sort of impromptu re
ception and with the exception ot
i Ben the least excited of any one con
cerned
I could not help admiring the young
sters pluck for he was an awful sight
From his feet to his knees his legs
were lacerated and his clothing was
torn to shreds and the top ot his head
j redder by fa than ever nature had
intended was covered with blood As
soon as I laid eyes on him I guessed
what had happened
It developed that the two Urliu boys
had broken open the door of the shed
and gone in to wrestle with the bear
Ben was willing as he always was
and a lively match was soon on
whereupon seeing that the bear did
not harm the two already In the room
another of the boys joined in the scuf
fle Then one of them got on the
bears back
This was a new one on Ben but he
took kindly to the idea nnd was soon
galloping round the little room with
his rider Then another boy climbed
on and Ben carried the two of them
at the same mad pace Then the third
boy got aboard and round they all
went much to the delight of them
selves and their cheering audience in
the doorway
But even Bens muscles ot steel had
their limit if endurance and after a
few circles of the room with the three
riders he suddenly stopped and rolled
over on his hack
And now an amazing thing happen
ed Of the three boys suddeuly tum
bled belter skelter from their seats one
happened to fall upon the upturned
jaws ot the bear and Ben who for
years had juggled rope balls cord
sticks and miniature logs instantly
undertook to give an exhibition with
his new implement-
Gathering the badly frightened boy
into position the bear set him whirl
ing His clothing from bis shoe tops
to his knees was soon ripped to shreds
and his legs toru and bleeding His
scalp was lacerated by the sharp claws
until the blood came His cries rose
to shrieks and sank again to moans
But the bear unmoved kept up the
perfect rhythm of his strokes
Finally the terrified lookers on in the
doorway realizing that something had
to be done if their leader was not to
be twirled to death before their eyes
tore a rail from the fence and with a
few pokes in Bens side induced him
to drop the boy who was then dragged
out apparently more dead than alive
The doctor took seventy six stitches
in the lads scalp and put rolls of sur
gical plaster on his shins So square
and true had Ben juggled him that not
a scratch was found on his face or on
any part of his body between the top
of his head and his knees He even
tually came out of the hospital no
worse for his ordeal but 1 doubt If be
ever again undertook to ride a bear
How She Won Out
Oh George she cried in perplexed
tones Im afraid we must part
Part Why must we part dear he
echoed
On account of father she replied
He fears we would be mismated We
are so very different he says
In what way are we so different
he asked with a show of dignity
Well father says I am of such a
ready and willing disposition while
you seem so so backward so reluc
tant and hesitating so so loath to
come to the the point dont you
know
He does does he blustered George
bracing up and the very nest after
noon she was showing her girl friends
how stunning It looked on the third

CANNIBALISM
It Is th Religion of the Savages Who
Practice It
In the iourse of his thirteen years as
a missionary in the Fiji islands the
Rev Icepl Xettleton Ipurned a good
deal about cannibalism and even saw
some t In- rolleams kilhd and inn
It is a common mistake to think tint
these men eat human beings bccaiiM
of hunger lie said CaunihaliMn is
their religion The ovens in the temple
where they cook their human saentires
are never used for any other purpose
I once witnessed the capture ot a
white victim He was surrounded
bound hand and foot and dragged
along to the temple where be was
dashed with terrilic force ngainst the
altar Then he was pushed inside the
compound while the chiefs arranged
as to the division of the bodv and be
gan a war dance Their hideous war
dance the derana they call it makes
ones flesh creep An American sea
captain who once visited the Islands
said he was not so much afraid of
being eaten as he was of this dance
It took all the courage out of him
Mr Nettletou had to use extreme
tact to avoid arousing suspicion among
the savages My colleague Mr Ba
ker was murdered cooked and eaten
with seven others while exploring he
said The cannibals thought he was
spying I never carried a revolver
Why Because the cannibals say at
once He doesnt carry that to kill
himself therefore he means to kill us
and they act accordingly
The Rev J Calvert another of Mr
Nettletons colleagues had a narrow
escape He was surrounded by canni
bals and it was decided that he should
be killed By a miracle bis life was
spared My friend pleaded till he was
hoarse said Mr Nettleton but it
was of no avail Suddenly one of the
cannibals remembered that Mr Calvert
had doctored him when he was ill
That saved my friends life Chicago
News
Startled the Natives
Herrara the Spanish historian says
that Pizarro when he landed in South
America owed his life and those of bis
companions to the fact that one of the
party fell off his horse by accident
The natives had succeeded in cutting
off the retreat of the Spaniards to
their ships when one of the riders
was thrown The Indians were so as
tonished at the dissolution of partner
ship that they took flight at once
They had supposed horse and man to
be one animal

SEARCHLIGHTS
A Special Pattern Must Be Used on
the Suez Canal
Every war vessel carries from one to
twenty searchlights and every vessel
of any description whatever passing
through the Suez canal has to carry
one of a special pattern
A searchlight consists essentially of
an arc lamp of special form a
mirror nd a case to hold the lot
the case being mounted so as to be
capable of movement in two direc
tionsviz vertically and horizontal
ly The hood as this case is called
is made of sheet steel about 332
inch thick The turnable trunnions
etc are cast in gun metal The
arms which support the hood are of
cast steel The lamp box Is form
ed as part of the hood- The mir
ror Is carried on springs in the
back cover and at the front of the
hood is a front glass mounted in a
gun metal ring and the dispersion
lens when carried is hinged on in
front of this Training is carried out
by means of a worm and worm wheel
or by a rack and pinion Slewing is
effected by means of a pinion which
gears Into a crown wheel on the un
derside of the turntable or else it Is
done directly by ba nd
The Suez canal regulations require
that the projector shall be capable of
giving the light required under two
different conditions in the first case a
broad flat beam of light Illuminating
both banks and the canal uninterrupt
edly this being used when no other
ship Is approaching in the other case
they require a beam having the same
angle of divergence and consequently
the same width as the first hut divid
ed into two portions with a dark in
terval between thus giving light at
both sides but not directly in front
and so not interfering with the navi
gation of the approaching vessel J

A Fortune In Snuffboxes
Count Nesselrode the Russian states
man of the last century was a famous
collector of snuffboxes He collected
them as a diplomatist receiving one or
two for each treaty he signed and
when he had got 100000 worth of
them turned them into cash and be
came a capitalist His capital he in
vested so judiciously that his descend
ants are multimillionaires The mor
al of Count Nesselrodes experience is
that a snuffbox Is not to be sneezed
