JOLTS AND JINGLES By Ad Brown A Seattle girl who admits hc is honicly asks the mnynr of Vancouver to find her an ideal husband. Her ndmisMon bespeaks honesty and candor, bin) tho chances arc sadly against her. Now that Debs has .accepted ttie Socialist nomination a lot of fears arc laid at rot.

On tho Newtowu battlefield, where a little baud ot revolutionary soldiers led by Gon, John Sulllvun defeuted tho In dian and allied Tory foices under Joseph Urnndt one hundred and thirty-throo years aso toduy, thero was unveiled this uftortioou, In the pres ence of patriotic thoiisundH, a hand soma monument In commemoration ot their valor. Lust yeur the New York leglsluturo appropriated 20, 000 to acquire the slto and adjoining lands for a battleground purk upon which tho monument 1ms been erect ed, Tho uuvolllng was carried out on a feculo of considerable pomp and "ceremony, military and patriotic so cieties uniting to make It a day not soon to bo forgotten. Governor DIx and his staff wore amoug the honored guests of the occasion, Senator John V. Murtagh presided ovor tho exor cises and ouo of tho principal speak ers was Lynde Sullivan of IIobIoii, a deQiidtMit of Geu. John Sullivan. THE DES MOINES rTMU8 following editorial Jlcraul is ot interest inasmuch as tho local public tho one at Des iMoinos with similar results: Turning again to the city of Pes Moines for lessons in civil government, we rind that tho municipal market which was established there only a sltlirt lime ago is a success. It is heralded as another instance ,ol! the effi ciency of tho commission form of government. Pes Moines is located inthe center of one of the richest iigricultural districts in the world. Yet, for all that, before tho city market place was opened, the prices of fruit and vegetables were so high that necessities in foodstuffs were fast becoming luxuries. Potatoes, for instance, were soiling for $',1 a bushel. Most of the excessive prices which made (ho hijrh cost oL living were the result of middlemen s exactions. They charged for vent and clerk hire, and then for waste anil loss, for delivery and colections, for various taxes and assessments, and then put on enough to allow a good profit over and above all the losses by bad debts. The effect was that out of every dollar paid by tho consumer most of it was taken in toll by the middleman and a very small part of it was passed on to the producer. If the truck gardeners sought to peddle from house to house in order to get retailer's prices, the grocers boy cotted them and refused utterly to buy any of their stock. Consumers consequently remained' at the mercy of the combination until the complaints against the cost of living lose to a storm of protest, when the mayor and commis sioners took the matter up. One day they opened a as a market place. Four . . 1 i 11 i w.igoiis mere anu soui direct, jnoxi uav mere were dozens, and within a week over a hundred farmers vying for trade. The market now is operated three days a week on the east side of the city and the same number of days on the west side. Thousands of housewives bin- direct from the market wagons, paying about half of what they paid before. The agitation against, the cost of living has stopped, for the remedy has been found. So far its application has resulted in detriment to but few while affording benefits to the manv. LOCAL COMPANY it if Mctlford's "One Hundred Per Cent" company of the Coast artillery corps returned Friday from Port Stevens, where for ten days they were taught to use the big coast defence guns, hale and hearty, with reports of n .-plcmlid time. The embryo soldier boys were compli-j mentcd repeatedly by the officers in charge of the encampment while during the ten days on the const tho boys learned much o'f warfare. Tho company bids fair to become one of the crack organization on the coast. They u re displaying great interest in their work nnd ure learn ing rapidly.

Ohio Suffragist Demonstration COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 31.

Athletic contests and many other attractions filled in tho program.

Beauty Hints Till-: UAIIl Woman's crown of golden or cbou tresses has been tho tbtmo of poet and subject ot painter since tho ono wrote sonnets and thti oilier painted his fancy on canvas. And It Is Im possible for tho cultivated taste to form a conception of a beautiful woman whose faco is not framed and iiiiiugij:ci uiuicr tins natural crown. Hcally beautiful linliv-aud Its beauty may be of color or,texture -posses a witchery nil Its own, and Is quit capable of rcdonutng many a jlain face, and even makln one think the face has a certain attraction. As mankind advancud from savag ery, nnd with each step In his devel opment became mora sensitive to things beautiful, the hair took rank as something moro that a mere covering for the' scalp and a protec tion from tho weather. In biblical times It was a dlxgrnce to bo bald, and tho term "bald head" was one of reproach. Among the ancient eastern nations, men ns Well as women wore long hair, and carried Its curling nnd dresslug nnd tho use ot aromatic pomatums upon tt to great extremes. Among the (inula, too, we find both sexes esteemed long hair. When conquered by Julius Ceasar they wero compelled to cut their hair as a token of sub mission. Caesar, being bald himself, must havo thoroughly appreciated the penalty he inflicted; for It Is related thut of all tho honors bestowed upon him by Rome, ho val.ied most highly tho prlvilego of wearing always his crown of laurel which concealed his baldness. The ancient Ilrltons were extremely proud of their abundant, flowing blondo locks, and to increaso their brightness tiny used n mixture of lime, vogetablo ash, and tallow. They shaved the entire faco except the upper lip wliero tlity allowed a moustacho of most Inconvenient length to grow. Tho greatest dis grace one of their women could suffer was to havo her hair cut off a penalty inflicted upon an unfaithful wife. Wherever history chronicles the custom of men's wearing long hnlr, wo find It enrriod, before the passing of tlu fashion, to so great extremes as to mark a period of decadence. A Norman bishop acquired groat honor nnd distinction by preaching, In HOt, at tho court of Henry I, against tho folly and vanity of tho long, curled and perfumed locks affected by the elegants of that daj , and he so moved tho king that he and his courtiers submitted to be shorn of tholr flowing IocIi'h by tho zoalous prelate himself. Tin enthusiasm wns, howevor, only temporary, and the fashion of long curls had so strong n hold that It was revived and continued till 1120 At that time unothor brlof reforma tion resulted from u knight's dream, In which ho believed himself over come by an enemy who smothered him In his luaiiiant curls. Hut once more man's vanity was stronger than his prudence, and ho was not again inveigled Into relinquishing his effemlualo locks till wigs caiuo Into vogue und gavo dignity to all ranks. uio Arabs value their hair so highly that they sacrifice it after every visit to Mecca, the ceremony being the solemn (oucludlug act of the pilgrimage, in tho same spirit, the Levltes who assisted the priests In the dlschuigo of duties, and kept guard around the Tnboruacle, and later around tho Temple, cut their hair when Inltlatod Into office; ana the priestly tonsure -of the Roman church Is a survival of this custom. In Greece albo tho shaving of tho hair was a sacrificial act, and some times duiio on the' graves of loved ones, tho "mourning locks" being left upon tho grave, Yours for charming womnn kind, MADAMI5 qUIYlM-iA.
