CLOUDED HIS L’FE.
Terrible Ending: of a Turkey Shoot In Which
an Old St*g:e Driver Participated.
To the pioneers of North Dakota
particulai ly that class who had occa-
sion to “stage it” back in the days
when the snort of the iron horse had
not been heard on the then sparsely
settled prairies the name of “Bill"
Gidley was as familiar as that of CoL
John H. Stevens is to the Minneapoli-
tan. Bill was a stage driver—one of
those great big good-natured souls
whose face dilated between a broad
grin and a hearty guffaw. His arrival
at a stage station was the signal for
merriment from the office to the
kitchen from cellar to garret He
was a privileged character. Bill Gid-
ley notwithstanding his rough un-
polished manner was always the gen-
tleman and had as tender a heart as
ever beat in human breast Gidley’s
friends little thought that a cloud
would sweep across the life of the big
stage driver which would forever hide
from view the smile which had been
for many years a light along the
route.
Thirteen years ago on Thanksgiving
day there was a turkey shooting
match at Bismarck. Bill was there;
he went to see the sport and while
not an expert shot “’lowed he’d just
kill off what few turkeys these ’ere
fellows have got.” After a number of
unsuccessful shots Bill’s friends began
to make sport of the marksmanship.
One of them pointing to a little out-
building standing some thirty rods dis-
tant remarked: “Bill you can’t hit
that shack over there.” Gidley clapped
his rifle to his shoulder pulled the
trigger the door to the shack swung
open and Bill’s best friend fell at the
entrance —shot through the heart.
That was thirteen years ago. Gidley
is still staging it in the Black Hills
country but his old-time friends would
hardly recognize him. The face once
wreathed in smiles is a picture of sad-
ness; no more are heard the jolly
stories and pleasantries that used to
lend a light to the station. A heart-
broken man he passes his leisure time
in comparative solitude. —Minneapolis
Journal.
PARASITIC HAIR.
rhenommon Attending the Urowth as Ex-
plained by Scientific Men.
All of the early writers on the make-
up of the human frame and its adorn-
ments invariably referred to the hair
as being an "excrement” and most of
them held that it was fed on sub-
stances similar to itself. The odd no-
tions of the early anatomists and
physiologists as well as the occult
philosophers respecting the growth
and functions of the hair were the
basis of many old-time superstitions
regarding that constituent of the
human body. The ancient philosophers
declared that the hair "generated” in
the fuliginous parts of the blood” and
that it was “exhaled by the heat of
the body” and that it "becomes firm
and fibrous on exposure to the atmos-
phere” presumably in the same man-
ner that the fluid ejected by the
spider becomes a “web” as soon
as the air strikes it. In modern
times however every idea respecting
the character and growth of hair
has changed. The scientists now uni-
versally agree that the hair properly
and truly lives and receives its nour-
ishment from the scalp and adjoining
tissues. It is true however that they
take upon themselves the nature of
parasitic plants.
They grow as vegetation does and
each separate filament has a distinct
life and economy. That they derive
their nourishment and owe their exist-
ence to the juices taken up from the
flesh and blood there is no doubt.
However after all it cannot be that
this food is taken up from what the
physiologists term nutritious juices
for we know that the hair will thrive
and live even though the body starve
or be wasted by disease. In many in-
stances in truth the hair thrives and
becomes most luxuriant when the body
is most shrunken and shriveled by
wasting ailments. And furthermore
in rare instances it has been known to
flourish after animal life in the body
had ceased to exist and even after de-
cay had set in in the skin and flesh to
which it was attached. —St. Louis Re-
public.
Whiskers and Character.
“I don’t know a greater shock” said
the young woman thoughtfully when
the front door had closed after Maine
and we were together on the veranda—-
“hardly that of seeing what illness has
done to the face—than coming upon a
man whom we have always known
with a mustache or beard and finding
him with none. Sides of his character
we had never suspected weaknesses of
will that have always been hidden are
suddenly laid bare. I sometimes
think” she added laughingly "that a
full beard to many a man is like a vine
to a crumbling wall—a provision of na-
ture to cover that which otherwise
could not have been relied upon. With-
out his beard how many a patriarch
revealed the despot how many a phil-
anthropist the selfish schemer! For
after all it is the lower part of the
face that reveals the man you meet
every day. You get his intellect the
qualities he exercises consciously his
power to think and plan all in the
upper part of the face. This may be
flue almost Greek in line and propor-
tion but the lower part of the face is
the text to a man’s nature; his refine-
ment his origin even all are written
there.—Harper's Bazar.
