The fashion edict, "llangs must be
in the finest possible curls of crepe
wavis," has been proclaimed here, and
tho "waves" are rolling delightfully
over the souls of sonic of the boys,
and this is about as it should be, and
sofortb;but concerning bangs, there
is a certain eraziness against which it
may be well to warn young men in
time. Not many years ago in the
State of Arkansas, a line looking young
mini sit od on tho scatl'old, ready and
willing to expiate, Joy boomed in his
eyes, but the spectacle of such a nice
young man standing on Mich a terri
bly ragged edge of eternity, brought
sobs from tho spectators, and when
the shcriir, a noble "Arkansaw" gentle
man, lull of sympathy, said, "Have
ycr ennything to say afore I lire ye in
to eternity?" Wails went forth up
on the welkin. Tho culprit arose1, and
with a voice to which the great throbs
of joy that stirred his waist-coat gave a
charming cadence, ho replied: "I
wish to say a few'words upon the sub
ject of bangs. There was a' time when
I disliked them when I agreed that,
while bangs could not make a sweet
girl look any sweeter, they niado sour
girls look sweeter than they really
were, and that they were therefore
snares and delusions, lint I have
changed my mind. I lntvo learned to
beam loudly on bangs. Oh, they are
associated with the sweetest memory
of my existence, They cluster beau
tifully about the glorious recollection
of the vengenee I wreaked on the
man that jumped my claim. I gave
him throe bangs t wo through the back
of bis old waistcoat ' and one through
the basement of his rivetted overalls.
Oh, glory! Oh, hurry up. you uncul
tivatcd "Arkansaw" county olliecr,
and 1 t mo hear the bang of the trap
door, before I start across Jordan!"
