tie said, "and I want a picture of the fire.
Get out there as quick as you can with

"But,” said the photographer, "if—”
“That’s the point I want it taken from—

"But I think there’s—’’
"1 don't care whether there’s a better
point or not. You know what 1 want. Hurrjr
up! You are losing time.”
The photographer took his camera and
departed. A few hours later he came in
with the proof of a picture he had taken
from the desired point of view.
"What is this?" asked the city editor.
"That is a photograph of the reins of
Col. Welligan’s house from the inside cor

"I can’t see anything of the house.”
"I can’t, either,” responded the photog

WAVE OF DARK TRESSES.
Mahogany the Modish Color for the
Hair—Ringlets Again.
Happy, these days, is the worn
an with a luxuriant head of hair
for not in many years lias t he fash
ionable coiffure been so elaborate,
says the New York Sun.
On the other hand, unluckv is
I 1 V
she of the scanty locks, inasmuch
as it may cost from to flOtfto
supply the deficiency, ll happens
that just at the very time when
false hair is urgently in demand
it has become remarkably scarce,
and therefore remarkably dear’.
This is especially true of the curly
or wavy kind, which alone is want
ed for the newer coiffures.
It is quite impossible, il seems,
for even the most noted hairdress
ers to predict precisely what the
leading coiffure for I he winter will
be, for the reason that there is
bound to be always more than one
style to flic front and also because
the New York fashionable woman
is capricious and to some extent a
law unto herself. As a leading
New York hairdresser lomurked,
with a resigned air:
••Jn France the hairdressers
mat"* the styles, and even the
smartest women conform totliem,
whereas in New York the hair
dressers arrange coiffures at the
dictates of f heir customers.
'•( )f course,” he admit ted, “every
winter is sure to bring some new
feature, for instance, like the up
holstered pom pa dour, as we ea lied
it. which had an astounding
vogue in all circles, from *the
kitchen to the drawing room in
clusive, and the pronounced loop
over-one eye arrangement that
came later and took well, though
it made even a refined woman look
almost like a tough.
“As it happens both of these
styles have been pushed into the
background by a newer, prettier,
more becoming modification of
the pompadour, which is llufTy,
soft and mounted not over a still',
hard roll, but on an airy, fairy sup
port, stiller, but hardly heavier,
than a net work of mil oral hair.
“And this is not pulled down
over the brow, but rolls back nat
urally, except for a stray lock or
two which are permitted to curl
downward if the forehead is very
high. The very newest of these
pompadours is parted on one side
—a style that gives a remarkably
chic look to some women. Other
women, though, would better let
it a lone.”
Just now llio most up to unto
Now York coiffure is really ;i com
bination of ora compromise be
tween the low English ami the
high French coiffure, both of
which this year are distinguished
by an absence of stiffness and a
lot more hair than usual. Home
Americans like the French mod
els, others favor the French,many
try to combine the two by using
several switches or crimping the
hair to make if appear twice is
thick as it really is.
Just now young girls affect tin
low twisted coiffure, and some of
them just back from a trip abroad
sire wearing the English bun—a
round wad of hair built over a
cushion of some sort which corn
pet tdy covers the nape of the neck,
but without a net over it.
N;it urally the French hairdress
ers here won’t admit for an in
stant that the bun is likely to be
come fashionable, for, say thety,
it is becoming to only very young
women. Few women over 2.“, t hey
add, look well in a lo-w coiffure,
anyway.
lint bun or no bun, it seems to
be pretty generally settled that
an elongated eoilfure covering the
back of the head almost from ear
to ear and down to the neck will
take the place, even for evening
wear, of the natty, high model
which for many years lms been es
pecially in evidence for full dress
occasions. Even the more con
servative of the French hairdress
ers now in New York admit this,
at the same time declaring that a
moderately high coiffure may be
adopted without putting one’s self
in the ranks of the old fashioned.
ENEMY OF WHALES.
Strange Creatures Said te Exist in
Alaskan Waters.
While operat inga fishery oil Ad
miraly island, Alaska, last sum
mer, says a writer, my attention
and the attention of my fishing
crew was almost daily attraeted
to a large marine ereature that
would appear in 1 ho main channel
of Seymour canal and our imrnedi
ate vicinity. There are large mini
hers of whales of the species ror
qual there, and the monster
seemed to be their natural enemy.
The whales generally travel in
schools, and while at the surface
to blow one would be singled our
and attacked by the tisli, and a
battle was soon in order.
It is the nature of 1 he rorqual to
make three blows at intervals of
from two to throe minutes each,
and then sound deep and stay be
nea t h t he surface for :>0 or 40 min
utcs. As a whale would come t<>
the surface, there would appear
always at the whale’s right sid>
and just above where his head
would connect villi the body, a
great, long tail or tin, “judged by
five fishermen and a number of In
dians after seeing about l.~> times
at various (listaiices,” to be about
24 feet. long. feet wide Jit the
end. and tapering down to 1 he wa
ter, when it seemed to be about
IS inches in diameter, looking very
much like the blade of the fan of
;iii old-fashioned I Mitch windmill.
The great club was used on the
hack of the unfortunate whale in
such a manner that it was a won
der to me that even whale at
tacked was not instantly killed.
Its operator seemed to have per
fect control of its movements,
and would bend it back I ill t he end
would touch the water forming a
horseshoe loop, then with ji sweep
it would be straightened and
brought over and down on the
back of the whale with ji whack
that could be heard for severji!
miles. I f t he wha le was fori unit to
enough to submerge his body be
fore the blows eame, the spray
would fly to a distance of 100 feet
from the effect of t he si rike. mak
ing a report as loud as a yacht’s
signal gun.
wiuii seemed most ifmarkable
to mo was that no mat tor which
wav the attacked whale went, oi
how fast It ho usual speed is ahou t
14 knots) that great club would
follow right along by its side and
deliver these tremendous blows
at intervals of about four or five
seconds. It would a I wavs get in
from three to five blows at each of
the three times the whale would
come to the surface to blow. The
whale would generally rid itself
of the enemy when it took its deep
sound, especially if the water was
40 I a t horns or more deep. During
tin* day the attack was always off
shore, but at night the whales
would be attacked in the bay and
within 400 yards of the fisherv.
"1 do not k now of any whales be
ing killed, but there were several
that had great holes and sores on
their backs. Questioning the In
dums about it, 1 was told that
there was only one, that it had
been there for many years, and
that it once attacked an Indian
canoe and with one stroke of the
great dub smashed the canoe
into splinters, killing and drown
ing several of its occupants.
Bridal Shirts.
The Scandinavian bridegroom

in turn gives him, especially in
Sweden, a shirt, and this he inva

Afterwards he puts it away and in

f o Prove What the Great Kidney 11
Do for YOU, Every Reader of C
a Sample Bottle Sent Absoluti
It used to be considered that only urinary and
bladder troubles were to be traced to the kid
neys, but now modern science proves that near
ly all diseases have their beginning in the dis
order of these most important organs.
Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out
of order, you can understand how quickly your
entire body is affected, and how every organ
seems to fail to do its duty.
If you are sick or “feel badly,” begin taking
the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp
Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well
they will help all the other organs to health. A
trial will convince anyone.
I was a constant sufferer for a number of years with
weakness of the kidneys and back and frequent desire to
urinate, but after using Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, X am
entirely cured and cheerfully lecommend this wonderful
remedy to any who may suffer from these common com
plaints. Most truiy yours,
B. H. CKALKEU, Chief of Police,
Ozark, Ala.
Weak and unhealthy kidneys arc responsible
for many kinds of diseases, and if permitted to
continue much suffering with fatal results arc
sure in follow. Kidney trouble irritates the nerves,
makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless and irritable.
Makes you pass water often during the day and
obliges you to get up many times during the
night. Unhealthy kidneys cause rheumatism,
gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain or dull ache
m the back, joints and muscles; makes your head
ache and back ache, causes indigestion, stomach
and liver trouble, you get a sallow, yellow com
plexion. makes you feel as though you had heart
trouble; you may have plenty of ambition, but
no strength; get weak and waste away.
The cure for these troubles is Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp Root, the world-famous kidney remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural help
to Nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect
healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that has
ever been discovered.
If there is any doubt in your mind as to your
condition, take from your urine on rising about
four ounces, place it in a glass or bottle and let
it stand twenty-four hours. If on examination
it is milky or cloudy, if there is a brick-dust set
tling, or if small particles float about in it, your
kidneys are in need of immediate attention.
Swamp-Root is plea ant to take and is used
in the leading hospitals, recommended by physi
cians in their private practice, and is taken by
doctors themselves who have kidney ailments,
because they recognize in it the greatest and
most successful remedy for kidney, liver and
bladder troubles.

There is a story in I.ippinoott's Magazine
of a husband who. on his return from a
visit, sat down to near the family happen
ings during his absence. This incident, it
may seem, has a moral. The wife was nam
ing the reforms she had successfully intro
duced.
"You know.” sai] she, "that closet that
iras locked for over u month? You said
it couldn't be opened except by a locksmith ?
Well, 1 opened it.”
"How in the world did you do it?”
"With a hairpin. And the furnace door
has been sagging muud on one hinge for
ever so long, you know; but it's ail right
now.”
"Well. I'm glad you had it fixed.”
"Had it fixed! 1 fixed it myself with a
hairpin. And then there was that crayon
portrait of mother that stood on the floor
for six weeks because you hadn't brought
me any picture-hooks— ’
"Well. I intended to, but
"Oh, it doesn’t make any difference now.
1 made a hook myself out of a hairpin.”
"No!”
“And there's Willie! You've been coax
ing and bribing him for a year to break
him of biting liis nails, and 1 broke him
in a week.”
“With a hairpin?” he inquired, weakly.
“No! Don't be a goose. With a hair
brush.”

“I was told I had Diabetes, and mv symp

bloated quite a little.
"1 heard of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and at

truthfully say that 1 am all right. The
bloating is gone from my feet and legs.
I have gained eight pounds in weight, and
