SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM THE INALIENABLE RIGHT TO PRIMP It may not be mentioned speci- fically in the Constitution, but we hold nevertheless that it is a woman’s inalienable right to primp. Who has not admired her as she stands using a shop window as a mirror and patting her pompadour or twitching her skirt straight? And who has not been delighted to sit behind her in the theater watching as she calmly combs her back hair and makes cer- tain that the ends of her rat are not exposed to public view? And who ever objected? No one; no one, that is, until the officials of the government printing office at Washington issued an anti- primp nkase. Primping was not put directly under the ban—even a federal official hardly would venture that—but the purpose was accom- plished by ordering tlhe fifty mirrors in the building removed at once. And when mirrors go out of the door primping jumps out of the window. When the woman employes protest- ed, they were told that they could fix their hair at home, that this wasa printing, not a primping, office. This shows how utterly unable is the masculine mind to master the details of woman’s makeup. Who buta man would imagine an 8 a. m. primp would last until 5 p. m.! Why, the back hair needs the correcting touch of a comb every hour, and even a conservative pompadour must have a pat here and there every few min- utes, while a Marcel wave requires constant watching lest it ripple away into flat nothingness. The no-primping order was a griev- ous blunder. It will make the wo- man employes look like perfect frights, which is beyond the right of any ' government to do. We look to President Roosevelt to right the wrong by ordering back the mirrors forthwith, If it must be, we can do without printing, but never without feminine primping. e Want Ads FORJ}RENTING A PROPERTY, SELL- ING A BUSINESS OR OBTAINING HELP ARE BEST. Pioneer OBSERVATIONS. Vanity is being vain about some- thing you don’t possess. The man who talks about how hard he works seldom tells how well he does his work. A woman doesn’t wanta man to say he is sorry; she wants him to ask her to forgive him. About all some men get for their efforts to be dignified isa reputa- tion of having the swell head. The average man rubs on hair tonic behind locked doors, just as the average woman dabs on face powder. When a man thinks an office is seekiag him he leaves better clues as to his whereabouts than a footprint or a stray button. If you have a friend, for heaven’s sake appreciate him. Friends are mighty rare. The rarest blessing is afriend who really admires you. CALL FOR BETTER RAILS. Contracts Just Made Contain Impore tant Specifications. Now York, July 1)—The speocifica- tions of an order for 40,000 tons of steel rails given to the Bethlehem Steel company are Interesting in view of the controversy which has been going on for some time betweea the manufacturers of rails and the rail- roade. The latter have been making & protest against the quality of the rails and the way they have been breaking. The epecifications in the contracts, which were awarded by the Atchison and the Lackawanna, are more strin: gent than they have been in the past, They require that 25 per cent of the ingot be discarded from the top and that the rails contain not more than .04 per cent of sulphur. The cutting off of the top of the ingot I8 to eliminate the steel which is lkely to be impaired by the rising of gas and cther impuritles Vo the surface. In the past the mills have been cut- ting off from 8 to 18 per cent and contracts have been calling for open hearth rails containing not more than .08 per cent of sulphur. Ralis on these terms will of course cost considerably more. The Atchison order was for 80,000 tons and the Lackawanna for 10,000 tons. Montana Stockman Convlicted. Helena, Mont.,, July 1 .—A jury in the United States court returned a verdict finding F. D. Cooper, a well known Montana stockman and former member of the board of commission- erq of Cascade county, guilty of un- lawful fencing ot government lands. PUBLIC UTILITIES LAW. ; New York Corporation Counsel Says It ls Constitutional. New York, July 15.—Corporation Counsel Francis K. Pendleton, in ren- dering an opinion on the constitution- ality of the new law creating the pub- lic utilitles commission of this city, finds that some of the provisions of the law may be uncenstitutional, but not sufficiently so as a whole to jus- tify a contention that the law is vold. The opinion was given at the request of Comptroller Metz, who desired to ascertain whether he should pay over to the public utilities commission about $40,000 of the balance unex- pended by the old rapid transit com- mission of this clty. Corporation Counsel Pendleton, in his opinion, takes a-view of the act similar to that of Mayor McClellan, who, in his veto of the bill, said it contained numerous provisions which are apvarently inimical to the best interests of the city. The corpora- tion counsel says: “It is undoubtedly an evasion of the ofty’s right to attend to its own af- falrs, It places in the hands of a partisan commission the most tre- mendous power ever given into the hands of a similar body., The bill strikes at the very principle of self- government and, as Mayor McClellan further correctly says, ‘it I were to decide otherwise and to accept this bill as it stands #t would imply an admission on my part that the prin- ciple of self-government for the city was no longer worth striving for.” Mr. Pendleton informed Comptroller Metz that the unexpended balance of the former commission must be turned over to the new commission. STORY OFFICIALLY DENIED Wisconsin Central Will Not Cut 8t Paul-Chicago Rate. Milwaukee, July 156.—General Pas| senger Agent James C, Pond of the Wisconsin Central lines denies ahse- lutely that there is any truth in the report from St. Paul that the Wiscon: aln Central will put in a differential rate between 8t. Paul and Chicago. Mr. Pond says, however, that the new interstate rate between Chloago and 8t. Paul, based on the new 2-cent per mile rate in 1llinois, Iowa and Min- nesota, will make the new rate $8.75, beginning July 19, As to the Wiscon- sin Central having given any definite notice as to making a differential rate there is absolutely no truth in the report. Boy Shot Through Heart. Menominee, Mich,, July 15.—While standing on the Leisen & Henes docks watching his friends swimming in the bay John Bender, the twelve-year-old son of Wolfgang Bender, was shot by some unknown persons, the bullet plercing the heart and causing instant death. A pleasure boat was out on the bay at the time when the boy was killed, but the occupants deny having fired the fatal shot. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. Mark Twain (Samuel L.

Bomerset, Ky, July 13.—Sixteen men were hurt in a wreck on the Queen and Crescent rallroad when a local freight train crashed into a work train near the Tennessee line. A re. lef train brought the victims to a sanitarlum here, The wreck was caused by the work train faillng to send out a flagman while stopping to take water. The ordinary seaman’s respect for rank and station when not connected with his beloved vessel is decldedly meager.

The same ceremony also takes place on his leaving. ~ On one occasion a president visited one of the ships informally, dispensing with the salute and ceremony, when one of the men rather Indignantly asked another who that lubber was on the quarterdeck that didn’t “douse his peak” to the commodore, “Choke your Inff, will'you?” was the reply. “That's the president of the United States.” “Well, ain’t he got manners enough to salute the quarterdeck, If he 187" “Manners!

A ‘blaze’ cor- responids to the beckoning hand. A new blaze renders an old one of no value. A sapling cut and bent across a path locks it and warningly says, ‘Go no farther this way.’ A stick set upright in the mud means ‘mo bottom here.’ “By use of these and many other records of the same sort, the traller profits by the experience of those who have gone before him and alds those who are to follow. There Is always news on the trail for those who have eyes to percelve it, and It is the duty of him who rides ahead, to enlighten those who are to follow. The Klikitat by means of signs almost invisible can cheer, direct and definitely warn his tribesman. These signs on the trail are respected. No one thinks of re- moving them except for cause.” At the Dentl: “Do you give gas here?’ asked a wild looking man who rushed into & dentlst’s. “We do,” replied the dentfst. “Does it put a fellow to sleep?” “It does.” No Change Necessary Dr. Price’s Delicious Flavoring Extracts have always been hon estly labeled; no change was nec essary since the enactment of th National Pure Food Law, eithe as to label or their manufacture They have had for nearly half ; century the patronage of the intel ligent housewives of this country iy - Flavoring Vania Lemon Orange Extracts “Bound him up®” “Yes, “You could break his jaw or black his eye and he wouldn't feel it?” “He would know nothing about it.” “How long does he sleop?” “The physical Insensibility produced by Inhaling the gas lasts & minute, or probably a little less.” “I expect that's long enough.

A few days ago one of Philadelphla’s prominent society women told her but- ler to tell all visitors that she was not ~at home. At night, when enumerating the persons who had called during the day, he mentioned the lady's sister, when his mistress exclalmed: “1 told you, man, that I was always at home for my sister! You ought to have shown bher In.” Next day the lady went ouf to make a few calls, and during her absence her sister came to the house, “Is your mistress at home?” she ask- ed the butler. “Yes, madam,” was the reply. The lady went upstairs and looked everywhere for her sister. On coming downustairs she said to the butler, “My sister must have gone out, for I cannot find her.” “Yes, madam, she has gone out, but she told me last night that she was al- ways at home to you.”—Philadelphia Record. Her Choice Tea. There is a true story told of a wealthy American iady who was In China and e e one of the court officlals, wishing to do her great honor, promised to send her a casket containing some extraor- dingry tea. In‘due time an exqul- sitely packed box arrived contalning tea. She bade many of her soclety friends to a series of afternoons, at which this tea was. served, Its de- lclous qualities expatiated upon and all seemingly enjoyed the beverage. At the end of the season when the casket was almost empty she found a very small beautifully decorated box, which on opening contained the price- less ten. What she had used was the dried tea leaves that had been used propably time and again by coolies. It seems that rare and costly tea is packed In tea to preserve the aroma and flavor. It was such a rich joke upon herself that the hostess told the story, and the soclety set had a good laugh.—Chicago Record-Herald, A Little Different. “I suppose,” she said with fine sar- casm, “you were sitting up with a frlend?” “No, m’'dear,” replied he truthfully, “I was settin’ ’em up with a friend.”—Houston Post. = Hard to Fit.
