We will soon know what our best girl really looks like without her disguise. There are some things we do not understand.

U. S. SHIPS' VISIT WORRIES MEXICO EXPLANATION OF SENDING FOUR ! VESSELS UNSATISFACTORY, STIRS UNEASINESS. NOTE CAUSES ILL FEELING Negotiations, Started in September, Are Unsatisfactory to Both Coun tries New Minister to Grant Amnesty. Mexico City. Mexicans are not wholly reassured by the Washington declarations and are keenly interested in the proposed visit of four Ameri can battleships to Vera Cruz and the motive for their coming. Much interest is displayed in the character of the Mexican note reply ing to that which the United States sent to Mexico in September. It is no secret that the American note is not pleasing to the Mexican government, and the failure, of the Mexican foreign office tJ discuss the nature of the reply gives some basis for believing it is not entirely pleas ing to Washington. Convinced numerous bands of reb els in the states of Durango, Coahuila and southern Chihuahua are contin uing their operations merely because they believe surrender would mean summary execution under the suspen sion of guarantees, Rafael Hernandez, the new minister of the interior, an nounced that be would attempt to gain for them a promise of amnesty. Gen. Orozco Reappears. Minister Hernandez has issued a general order to the rurales to com mandeer horses when needed, giving receipts to the owners 'and notifying the government. The rurales have complained that frequently they are unable to follow the insurrectos on ac count of worn-out mounts. Out of the mass of rumors as to the whereabouts of Gen. Orozco, that most credited is the report that he has reappeared at the head of some hundreds of men east of Ojinaga, in the state of Chihuahua, after recuper ating from a serious sickness. The governor of Vera Cruz reports that with the capture of Garcia Bravo near Tuxpam, "the last band of rebels Ya the state has been exterminated." Borrowed Gun Protects Train. El Paso, Tex.

WHEN A FELLER WINS POST SUIT DENIAL OF INJUNCTION IS AF FIRMED IN HIGHER COURT. Buck Stove Manufacturing Plant to Be Conducted on "Closed Shop" Basis Held to Be Legal. St. Louis. An opinion handed down by the United States court of appeals, in the suit of C. W. Post, minority stockholder in the Buck Stove and Range company, who sought an in junction restrainng the company from entering into an agreement with the labor unions whereby the manufac turing plant of the company should be conducted on a "closed shop" basis, was a decided victory for the labor unions. The opinion, which was written by Judge William C. Hook, and con curred in by Judges Walter H. San born and Walter I. Smith, sustains the decision of Judge D. P. Dyer, in the United States district court, who denied Post the injunction he sought. For years the Buck Stove and Range company, of which J. W. Van Cleve was president, fought union la bor in its plant. After the death of Van Cleve iu 1910 the company then entered into the agreement whereby it would employ nothing but union la bor in the plant. Post, who owns $55,000 of the preferred stock and $55,000 of the common stock of the company, the capital stock being $1,500,000, filed the injunction suit in the United States district court, hold ing that the agreement wa sillegal. contrary to public policy and in vio lation of an act of congress adopted in July, 1890. relative to public trade and commerce, claiming that the em ployment of union labor would be a violation of the act. Judge Dyer held that there were no grounds for the injunction, and the court of appeals has sustained his decision.

NEEDS A FRIEND You ecT.fo 5 aenr To ! tfSaV CHICAGO TRISUMC "YOUNG" JURKS OUSTED CABINET ABROGATES CONSTITU TION A3 UNSATISFACTORY. Nazim Pasha Always Had Opposed New Order Constitutionalists Gradually Weeded Out. Constantinople. The cabinet de cided to abrogate the Turkish consti tution, declaring that after nearly four years' trial it has proved wholly unsatisfactory. In the general excitement over the war, Constantinople did not seem to realize at first that the government's announcement amounted to nothing less than another revolution. Preparations for the step had been made very carefully. For days past the authorities have been quietly gathering in the Young Turkish lead ers and iaking them to places of con finement on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus. Constitutionalists in high any posts have been weeded out gradually and men who were known to believe popular government poorly adapted to Turkish requirements put in their places. Nazim Pasha, the minister of war and active commander of the army, has always opposed the Young Turks. Enver Bey, the ablest man iu the Young Turkish organization, has been in Tripoli since soon after the out break of the war with Italy. The coup evidently was the result of long, careful planning. Everything indicated that the Absolutists had been awaiting their opportunity for months. The war with the Balkan allies furnished this opportunity. The Young Turks were wonderfully clever as conspirators, but none of them have administrative ability. In stead of devoting themselves to the business of real reform when they giiined control of the government, .hey played politics. They were theorists, and each had a different theory of government which he insisted on trying.

I wrote them mostly when I was drunk. I drank to try and get away from my remorse, and for a time it seemed that I would forget it, but in these spells I used to become conscience stricken, though in a different man ner, and write the cards telling of my state of mind."

NEVER WITH RED HAIR HISTORY RECORDS NO GREAT GENIUS THUS ADORNED. Men of Eminence Have Been, but Nat Those of Genuine and Deathless Fame As to Beards and Ringlets. History 6hows that no great genius ever had red hair. Alone among the poets of the world was Swinburne, whose hair was distinctly reddish, and among the great reformers only John Bunyan's hair was really red. The simon-pure carrotty head, however, ap pears ncwhere linked to world fame. Tbe flaxen-haired blonde or the man whose hair when an adult is a true yellow also remains marked apart us being unlikely to possess genius. Should one such be. bis only com panion will be Thackeray, whose hair Is a scribed as yellow. Mr. Charles Kassel has reviewed the biographies of most of the eminent people of the world's histories and tabulated his re sults so far as the color of the hair is concerned. Dark brown to black is the prevail ing hue on the heads of great men. A list of fifty names has been compiled in which the color of the hair is given by biographers, and 90 per cent, are dark brown or black. There Is not, strange to say, a single mention of premature grayness. nor a single case of that ashen brown hair known as "singed" or "mouse color." The structure of the hair whether straight or curly Is given in twenty six of Mr. Kas8el's list of geniuses, and of these all but four possessed curly or wavy hair. It is extremely notable that of the remaining four. Napoleon and Andrew Jackson were the two remarkable for "wiry hair," and that James Russell Lowell and Grelg were those having lank straight hair. The poet's "ringlets" and the musician's shock of hair are by this list seen not to be mere accidents, but in some strange way are co-ordinated to their powers and the general popular instinct is not at fault. The color of beards also arouses many points of interest. All the an cient tapestries show Cain and Judas Iscariot with yellow or red beards, and Pontius Pilate in ancient art al ways was given a beard. (Being a Ro man of good family, he probably had no beard, but those details did not trouble the old masters.) A reddish beard, however, does not carry the sig nificance that goes with red hair, for' a large number of eminent men with dark brown hair have had reddish beards.. SomeUmes the eyelashes have been ruddy, Savonarola, Who had al most black hair, having startllngly red eyebrows and eyelashes. But, as a general rule here also, a silky brown beard when accompanied by fine cur ling dark-brown hair, iB the most usual characteristic shown In the biographies of those men whotse names have been handed down to fame. New York World. Ideal Hosts. "English country houses are, to my taste, the most elegant and at the same time the most comfortable places imaginable. In my Indian sketches I have already paid tribute to the won derful hospitality of the Briton, and I should like to mention it gratefully again. At home we are apt to think j a guest must be everlastingly amused; 1 he is worn to death with the occupa ! tions, pleasures, 'sight-seeing,' provid ! ed by his host. There Is nothing of this kind in England. Unless there is something special on foot, such as a shoot, each guest Is absolutely his ! own master. The whole house and home of the hosts Is in the fullest sense of the word at the guest's abso- I lute disposal. He only has to say the word, and he can ride, motor, fish, shoot, sail, play tennis, or flirt every thing is at his hand. The English ex cel In this art of genial and thoughtful entertaining." From My Hunting Day Rook, by tr.-e Crown Prince of Ger- i many. Out of the Past. Not long ago, from the clay of a railway cutting near Spokane, Wash., there was taken a little bit of vege table fiber the leaf of a gingko tree which must have flourished something like 100,000 years ago. There are fossils of even greater ae. of course, but this leaf Is 0)111 a leaf, not a mere Imprint in stone; and It Is undoubt edly the oldest known bit of vegetable matter in the world. The particular species to which it belonged became extinct long ago; its only surviving relative is the ging ko tree of Japan. Its appearance at the point where it was found proas to geologists that It grew and fell when the Cascade and Coast Range mountains had not yet been formed, and the Rockies themselves were young. Vegetarian Tips. The man who had forsworn meat wound up his first vegetarian dinner with the accustomed tip. The next day" the service was Indifferent, the third day It was abominable. "What's the matter with that fel low, anyhow?" he growled. "He used to be a good waiter. Now he sinfply throws things at you." "That'? because you don't tip him enough," said the man opposite. "Waiters always expect a bigger tip for serving a vegetarian meals. It takes such a variety of things to make up for meat that they have to handle more dishes and make more trips to the kitchen. Any sjood waiter would rather serve one meat dinner than two of vegetables, and unless he gets tipped generously he gets ugly.' Took Parson's Advice.

A DOCTOR'S SLEEP Found He Had to Leave Off Coffee. Many persons do not realize that a bad stomach will cause insomnia. Coffee and tea drinking being such an ancient and respectable form of habit, few realize that the drug caf feine contained In coffee and tea.
