tu" p-'"-* ftf?* •* * Leaves in the Halft It la eminently correct to wear leaves in one's haft, and apparently many women are forsaking their tiaras and crowns for simple green leaves. At the debutante dance of December these small chaplets were extremely popular and Mrs. John Jacob Astor has been seen with her brown hair clasped by white leaves, tipped with brilliants. The jewelers who followed closely the approval of the fashionable women are manufacturing silver and enameled leaves, but the simpler silk bits of trimming are in better taste. Flowers are not worn in the hair this winter, although the holiday season brought forth the use of holly, and, with some women, sprigs of mistletoe. Begonias are enjoying popularity this year and some headdresses are made gay with these waxy flowers. Pink, however, is not used this year and begonias suffer in consequence.--New York Prtss.

Norfolk, Vsl, dispatch; A package containing a stick of dynamite explod­ ed in the hands of Harry Hicks, fear­ fully burning the boy and damaging the room in which the explosion took place.

Sod of Love Has Little U«o tor Gas or Electric Light. "Electric lights and gas are no good for courting purposes," said a Wash­ ington young man who is more than attentive to the object of his affee* Hons, a sweet girl of tha west end. "But do not the parents of your fiancee Insist on there being light in tne room?" asked a friend. "Oh, yes; we use kerosene. There is nothing like It. Give me the good old coal oil for courting. My girl is of an inventive (urn oi bind. Yoi can't beat her." "What do you mean?" "The piano lamp provides the par­ lor with light." replied the young man, accordingly to the Washington Star. "It has a large red shade, which softens the light when it is burning. But, do you know, my girl has that light completely under control? She sees to the filling of the lamp and she has it down so fine that she knows just how much oil is needed to burn to a certain hour, the time that the old folks usually go to bed. Wheu the flame begins to get dim you may bet every dollar you have that it is 9:30. That lamp, controlled by so charming a girl as mine, is a bonanza." Just in Time. Broadland, So. Dak., Feb. 23d.~Bea die county has never been so worked up as during the last few weeks. Every one is talking of the wonderful case of O. W. Gray of Broadland, the particulars of which are best told in the following statement which Mr. Gray has just published: "I was dying. I had given up all hope. I was prostrate and as helpless as a little babe. I had been ailing with Kidney Trouble for many years, and it Anally turned to Bright's Dis­ ease. All medicine had failed and I was in despair. "I ordered one box of Dodd's Kidney Pills and this first box helped me out of bed. I continued the treatment till now I am a strong' well man. 1 praise God for the day when I decided to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. Everybody expected that Mr. Gray would die and his remarkable recovery is regarded as li t t le short of a miracle by all who know how very low he was. lX>dd's Kidney Pills are certainly a wonderful remedy.

When sne collapsed she was standing in a line of prisoners in a police court waiting to be tried for the heinous offense of asking help in the streets for her extremity of need.
