C. C. Phillips. BE of GOOD CHEER. Ullin, Ill.. Feb. 7, 1915. Mr. J. B McCryar: Metropolitan Ill. I am very sorry indeed to hear of the death of your dear mother, of whom I have known several years ago, about Eighteen eighty five. It grieves me very much to hear of her death, and so I want to show my sympathy toward you, in which I commend you to him who is always with you and remain with us for the good. Give my regards to your family. The voice of one who was loved is hushed in death and has gone to her home. She cannot come back but we can go where she is when our day shall dawn. "Mother McCrary" was a mother and a christian woman indeed and have proven so to many a person, and I hope to meet her some day. truly yours, S. P. Greer. CONDOLENCE. Sparta, Ill., Feb. 9, 1915 Rev. J. B. McCrary I note the death of your dear mother, wbom God has taken to Heaven to her reward, where sorrow and death never comes. You and your family have my heart rendering sympathy in this your hour of grief. Trusting this may meet your approval. Yours fraternally, J. J. Taylor. IN LOVING REMEBRANCE. Marshall Ill. Feb. 8, 1915. Rev. J. B. McCrary and Family, owing to the late arrival of your paper, I did not learn of the death of your beloved mother until Friday of last week However late, but accept my deepest condolence in the sad hours of your bereavement. The deceased, I have known, for more than 20 years and have only words of highest praise for her, as she was among my earliest acquaintances, as I boarded with her quite awhile when I came to make Metropolis, my home and that association then, and ever since has endeared her to me. Her motherly advice and kindness which was her characteristic well deserved the name she bore "Mother McCrary" I was impressed with her as being a christian woman when I first become to know her years ago and that still was my convictions when I last saw her, last Christmas when I called to see her. With all the conflicts of life and difficulties which are incidents to life she was unmoved by them, but like a true soldier she died at the post on the firing line of duty and now she is tree and at rest and receiving the trophies of reward that awaits the coming of the valiant and faithful. Indeed ' Mother McCrary has laid aside the old garment of flesh with its patches of pain and disease and is now reclad in the shining and eternal robe of righteousness whose creative, is a product of heaven and woven on the loom of salvation without hand, neither has it seam nor gash. Then to you Rev, McCrary, husband and relatives, I say weep not for her, and yet I appreciate quite keenly those maternal ties cannot be so easily rent without sadness and discomfort. But we remember ever since man has inhabited this earth, the inevitable comes to us all "In the midst of life comes death." I am sincerely your friend E. Clarence Phillips, Marshall, Ill. The love which provides an atonement is a fair surer basis of faith than the love which would forgive without atonement. Our assurance and peace rest on the justice of God no less than on the mercy and love of God —Selected. ROCK ISLAVD, ILL. —Henry E.

What the Bible says about war the Great teacher said Love your enemy, bless them that curse you do good to them that hate you and pray for them that despitefully use you. Matt. 5:9-39-44. When everybody does this there will be no war, all will be righteous for love is the fulfilling of the law. No person can love everybody without a change of heart. What Jesus said about the many in the Broadway and the few in the narrow way Matt. 7:23-14 show that msny are called but few are chosen, yet thousands of people are prophesying peace and safety the Gal. 5:1-5. Forgetting that every man and seducer shall wax worse deceiving and being deceived Tim. 2:3-13. And that the tares and sinners are finanally to be destroyed instead being changed over into wheat ye will not come unto me said Jesus. Many people in the last day shall tell about peace as if it was coming soon by the conversion of the world. The marginal reading of Isaiah calls such talk pictures of desire and says they shall be brought low. Declarations because of what the people have said he foretells destruction for those who do not repent the same as does the prophet Jobe it will be a time of general war.

(Copyright, 1815, by tho McClure Newapa- Oe es coaenta) ae Te eae Sees ae a that Sarah Carter, old maid, was to remove there from Hastings, there was a flutter among the marriageable girls. There were but six young men in the town, and the girls had formed ‘a sort of trust to prevent outsiders from bearing any of them away. “Something should be done!” ex claimed one member of the trust. “Ot course there should!” echoed a second. “If any man wanted to marry an ola maid it would be different,” exclaimed a third, “but there's no one here that will look at her twice. That will make her mad, and she'll do her best to break up our friendships.” “| have heard that she has broken up no less than four matches over there.” “Ané I have heard that it was five!” “If she goes and tells our fellows that we went on a joy-ride with a drummer!” ‘There were shrieks of despair from the enitire bevy. Miss Sarah Carter made her appear- ance in due time, and convulsions fol- lowed. She owned to being thirty- eight, but did not look over twenty- five. She had a good figure; she was good looking. And if this weren't ad enough, it was shown beyond a doubt that she had a number of thou- sand dollars in cash. Six girls shed tears of grief and in- @ignation. Six young men announced that they didn’t even care for an in- troduction to Miss Carter, and then took advantage of the earliest oppor- tunity to secure one. It was the mar ried women of the town who let the old maid understand what thin ice she was sliding on, and the reply was: “Tell your daughters to wait before criticizing me. I may think best to get married some day, but I'll give every girl in town a chance first.” It was a query with them whether the old maid was in earnest, but she soon gave proof that she was. Number One man, who was en- gaged to Number One girl, had vowed ‘@ dozen times over that nothing but death could separate them, was in- troduced to Miss Carter in a store and called at her home. On the fourth call he informed the old maid that if he was held to his engagement he should certainly commit suicide, as he had discovered that he and his fiancee were not congenial as to poetry. _On his next call he boldly proposed marriage, and was surprised and be- wildered when Miss Carter replied: “As you were born that way I sup- pose I shall have to overlook it.” Mise Carter got word to girl Num ber One that she had refused an offer ot marriage from the young man Number One, and after be was given a bad evening he returned to his loy- alty. Then came the query from a dozen people: “What do you suppose is the rea- son she didn’t accept him?” Number Two young man was ready to step in as Number One stepped out. He admitted his engagement to Num ber Two girl, but doubted if there would be a marriage. His flancee had come out flat-footed and said she'd be hanged if she'd have a cat around the house after marriage. He being warm- hearted toward cats, felt that it would be an unwise thing to be joined in the bonds of wedlock with such a girl as that. And then came a proposal. He loved. He loved as he had never loved before. Should it turn out that he had loved in vain the dark waters of Lake Erie should close over him, “Did you want me for a wife, sis. ter, aunt or mother?” “Heartless woman!” “Run along, sonny, and grow some more and get older!” And he returned to the girl who didn't love eats, instead of plunging beneath the choppy waters of Lake Brie. And the cat girl was actually mad about it—mad at the old maid for refusing him, and there was con- tempt in her tones as she inquired: “Who does Miss Sarah Carter think she is, anyhow?” A sewing machine man heard of ‘Miss Carter and her money, and said to himself: “Now here's where I show the world that a sewing machine man has a heart. ‘This old maid has been waiting for years and years for an offer, but none has come. I will saerl fice myself.” ‘ And at his second call to see if she didn’t want to invest $30 in a machine that sewed and tucked and ruffled and hemmed and gathered, and did al- most everything except the family washing, he drew a long breath and said: “I have thought I should never “Bat now you think you will,” re Piled the maiden, to.help him out, “TI do.” “Then move right along to the widow Green’s, 1 believe she wants se arrh, while I am sure I And {ust before the opening of prayer mecting at the Mothodist church One evening, as eight or ten peoplg were gossiping about the old mal@, Deacon Pardon became 80 ex- cited that he exclaimed: “By thun- der, but she orter be arrested and made to give an account of herself! Y'm telling you that it ain't natural— ‘no, it ain't natural.” A young druggist who had just started in business in Bloomfield had won favor in the eyes of at least three maidens, though he had as yet pledged himself to none. His trio of girls had been very bitter toward the old maid, believing that she would try to catch the druggist. Miss Carter had been in the store half a dozen times to make ‘small purchases, and, of course, had been treated politely, when one day the druggist found time to muse: “she's an old maid, but I don't be- Meve she's set in her ways. She has reached the age when she’s no longer frivolous, and she must know consid- erable about business.” And, after selling a box of pills to a farmer who complained about the Pesky potato bugs, he went on: “There are three or four nice girls here, but who can tell what sort of wives they will make?” And, after selling a box of cough drops to a red-headed woman who ob- served that {t looked like rain, the druggist went back to his musing. “Yes, Miss Carter has got money, and she must find it a worry to marry for money, but if I had a tidy lttle sum I should know how to use it to good advantage. They say that Miss Carter is thirty-eight years old, while I am only twenty-four, but love does not take age into account.” That night he called at her home and said: “Miss. Carter, I am a busi- ness man.” “Yea?” “T am called a rather blunt man.” “1 see.” “Will you marry me?” “No, sir, 1 won't!” “Will you tell me why?” he asked. “Recause, sir, I am picking out hus- bands for others.” When it was reported that the,old maid had tarned down the druggist that one of the girls might have a chance at him, an indignant meeting was held in almost every house. “What sort of a game is it?” was demanded. “Why doesn't she He and tattle and start rows the same as other old maids?” ‘ “I want to tell you that this comes mighty nigh breaking down the bul- warks of American liberty!” said Deacon Pardon. At length one of the ministers was induced to call on the old maid and ask for an explanation. “Have I been the cause of a single broken engagement?” she asked. “Nooo.” “On the contrary, haven't I brought about quite a number?” "Yea “Do you know of a girl in Bloom- field that wants to marry but has no chance?” “II think not.” “Then I don't think I can be called upon to make further sacrifices.” And within a month she was mar- ried to a fruit-tree man, and Cupid was. smiling on them, and Deacon Pardon was rubbing his leg and say- ing: “It’s a mighty funny way for an old maid to act, but I guess them bulwarks of liberty are all right—all rieht.” MEANING OF HORSE POWER Term as it Is Used Today Is to a Cer- tain Extent a Mislead- ‘Ing One; Many years ago, before most of the motors of today were thought posst- ble, man used the horse to turn the wheels of his machinery by means of a treadmill. In this way the horse came to stand for a unit of power ac- cording to the size of the machine he could work effectively, ~ ‘When engines began to displace horses, because they could develop several times the motive power, it was natural to refer to their capacity on the basis of a horse power unit, by speaking of an engine as being able to do the work of two, three, four, five or more horses. And so the custom ‘was established of making use of the term as descriptive of power. ‘The fact that a “horse power”—or simply h. p. as it generally figures in engineering descriptions — really means a greater power than is expect- ed of a horse and greater than he is capable of. It means the power to lift 20,000 pounds one foot in one minute. ‘The continued use of the old term to indicate this modern unit of power for an engine or motor filustrates how, for want of a suitable substitute, cus- tom will keep alive a term that has lost its apparent significance. Old Stery tmoereved: The other day a man over in Jer- sey bought a five-cent package of the solace of mankind. When he opened the carton and began using the chew- ing tobacco it contained he felt some- thing hard between his testh. Upon investigating he found that in some strange manner, not yet exzlained, he had become possessed of a diamond valued at $150. This tale is a new and interesting variant of the old fa- miliar pearlfinding story that obtains currency every now and then. Gen- erally the fortunate man discovers a pearl of great value in his half dozen of raws. But finding diamonds is really @ great improvement on the pearl glaseic; it strikes a new and original xote on the part of the pars- grapher, ae | — Seo AFRO-AMERIC!

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In the article of Mr. James Croggon, in the Sunday Star, it fs stated that “one hundred years ago the first col- ored troops who ever served in the army of the United States won the commendation of General Jackson in the battles tm and around New Or- Jeans.” ‘This statement as to when the first colored troops served in the army of the United States {s incorrect, writes Albert N, Seip in a communt cation to the Washington Star. Ban- croft’s History, volume five, pages 162, 153, says: “On the first of Janu- ary, 1776, the tricolored American ban- ner, not yet spangled with stars, but showing 13 stripes of alternate red ‘and white in the field, and the united red and white crosses of Saint George ‘and Saint Andrew on a blue ground in the corner, was unfurled over the new continental army around Boston, which, at that moment of its greatest weakness, consisted of but 9,650 men. On that day, free Negroes stood in the ranks by the side of white men. In the Deginning of the war they had en- tered the provincial army; the first general order which was issued by General Ward had required a return, among other things, of “the complex: fon” of the soldiers; and black men, like others, were retained in the serv- fee after the troops were adopted by the continent. We have seen Edward Rutledge de- feated in his attempt to compel their discharge. In October, the conference at the camp, with Franklin, Harrison and Lyneh, thought st proper to ex- clude them from the new enlistment; but Washington, at the crisis of his distress, finding that they were very much dissatisfied at being discarded, reversed the decision and asked the approval of congress. That body ap- pointed Wythe, Samuel Adams and Wilson to deliberate on the question; and, on the report of their ablo com- mittee, they voted “that the free Ne groes who had served faithfully in the army at Cambridge might be re-en- Nisted therein, but no others.” ‘The right of free Negroes to take part in the defense of the country having thus been partially admitted by the high- est power, the Imitation was lost sight of, and they served in the ranks of the American armies during eyery period of the war. When in 1778 the army was redueed to its lowest point in numbers, Ban- croft states, in volume six, page 48, that “Varnum, a brigadier of Rhode Island, proposed the emancipation of slaves in that state, on condition of their enlisting in the army for the war. The scheme, approved by Washington, and by him referred to Cooke, the governor of the state, was accepted. Ev- ery able-bodied slave in Rhode Island received law Mberty to enlist in the army for the war. On passing muster he became free and entitled to all the wages and encouragements given by congress to any soldier. The state made some compensation to their mas- ters. As the object of this communication is simply to correct the error of Mr. Croggon ns to when the first colored troops served tn the army of the Unit- ed States, it is not necessary to refer to the well-known fact that Negroes fought at the battle of Bunker Hill, taking part in common with the white yeomanry of Massachusetts and other states. Thelr services in the Union army during the Civil war are well known. | Kansas City has 130 miles of boule. yards, Hotiston has a Negro population of probably thirty thousand, and we be believe it can be said without exag- -geration that there is not a city in the ‘country where the Negroes are making better progress. We do not mean to say that there 1s not room for improve- ment or that everything that might be done to aid them is being done, but year-by year the white people are com- ing to know that their interest in ev- erything that Improves conditions among the Negroes is one of vital im- portance. It 1s no longer difficult to enlist the co-operation of the white people in any movement having for its object the welfare of the Negro people, and we think nearly all of the south- ern cities can say as much.—Houston (Texas) Post.

They were the essentially Negro dances, played and danced by Negroes alone, The same may be said of the fox trot, this season the most popular of all dances, “The fox trot was created by @ young Negro of Memphis, Tenn. Mr. W. C. Handy, who five years ago wrote “The Memphis Blues.’ ‘This dance was often played by me last season during the tour of the Castles, but never in public. Mr. Castle became interested in it, but did not believe st suitable for dancing. He thought the time too slow, the world of today demanding staccato music, Yet after a while he began to dance it at private entertain- ments in New York, and, to his aston- ishment, discovered that it was {mme- diately taken up. It was not until then that Mr, and Mrs, Castle began to dance it in public, with the result that it in now danced aa much as all the other dances put together. Mr. Castle has generously given me the credit for the fox trot, yet the credit, as I have said, really belongs to Mr. Handy. You see, then, that both the tango and the fox trot are really Negro dances, as ts the one-step. The one step is the national dance of the Ne- kro, the negro always walking in his dances. I myself have written prob ably more of these new dances than any other composer, and one of my comporitions, “The Castle Lame Duck ‘Waltz,’ is, perhaps, the most widely know of any dance now before the public.” In the southern states are to be found about seventy banks that are owned, controlled and operated by Ne- froes, In addition to these might be mentioned numerous building and loan associations. The kindly spirit that prevatis be tween white people and colored in the South is evidenced by the: fact that presidents or cashiers of white peo- ple’s banks have given Iberally of their advice to the competing Negroes’ banks, sometimes opening the first set ot books for them and supervising thelr operation until they were well under way. Not long ago a bank conducted by Negroes in Richmond nearly became the object of a “run” because of an erroneous report concerning — the bank's integrity. Several of the lead- ing banks conducted by white people, through their presidents, told the Negro bank managers to pay claims promptly and that they would provide the funds required if necessary. They knew that the Negroes’ bank was safe and solid and they bad confidence in the honesty of the Negro president. Robert R. Moton of the Hampton institute reports that “in almost every community the Negro and white busl- ness men are on terms of harmony and co-operation, loaning and borrow- ing and crediting as if both were white or both were black. In two years Minnesota has spent $5,624,814 for better roads, “Thave written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have ‘overcome the evil one” (I John 2:15). As Professor Findlay comments on this passage, “a manly self-respect and self-mastery are gained at adolescence or are forfeited.” In the days when all our native powcrs of will, imagina- tion, enthuslasm and aspiration are at their best, and when the conditions of life are most favorable to eelt-dls- cipline, we must deal with those {g- noble motions of pride, covetousness, fretfulness, impatience, wrath and egotism which so painfully disfigure ‘unganetified old age.

If you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acids of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot injure, and makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink—Adv.

Here now is a professor who has invented a machine for recording the human gait. "A person can be identified by his manner of walking as easily as by finger prints," contends the professor. "Watch the man who drags his feet along the ground as if every step were an effort. If he has any of this world's goods it is because it has been thrust upon him. He is the kind of man who would be in the first lifeboat that put out from a linking ship. The man with the dragging gait is the man without a heart. "The woman who has difficulty in lifting her heels from the ground when she walks is a whiner. She believes the best she ever gets is the 'orst of it, and she will go into the minutest detail about trivialities. The woman with a dragging gait is the woman without spine. "Watch the man who hurries along as if he were anxious to part company with the pavement. His steps are quick and snappy. The man with the snappy step has plenty of pep. When you see a woman planting her feet firmly on the ground and walking with a free swing you may be sure she is wholesome, to be depended upon, capable. She will be your friend, your pal, your sweetheart on rainy days, just as much as or more than when the sun shines." And a lot of wives whose husbands are given to hitting both sides of the street and the middle coming home will find the gait machine a handy little household object. SHOT HIS UNGRATEFUL GODS Remarkable Act of Indian Ruler Who Had Appealed to Them in Vain. Though not very strict Hindus, the Gurkhas are very superstitious. It is on record that the beautiful wife of a certain rajah of Nepaul contracted smallpox. The rajah vowed tons of milk and butter sweetmeats to the gods if they would cure her. She recovered, but when she saw her disfigurement she killed herself. The rajah fell into a passion, and had all his gods set up in a row outside his walls. Opposite them he ranged his artillery. Having abused the gods and reminded them of all the milk and sweets he had given them, he ordered the guns to open fire. Some of the senior officers, horrified at the sacrilege, rushed shrieking away, but after a few gunners had been cut down the guns opened fire and the gods were blown to bits. All the great Sikh families owed their origin to the power of the sword. Every Sikh chief tried to attract followers who could ride and fight, no matter what their antecedents were. Every village became a fort. The word "neighbor" meant enemy. Men tilted the soil with a matchlock across the shoulders. Recovering Tin From Used Cans. The expensiveness of pure tin accounts for the care with which it is handled. It is astonishing how little tin can be made to cover thousands of cans. Yet tin would be still more expensive than it is had not the following process been invented for its recovery at very low cost: Great heaps of empty cans (preferably washed and dried by mechanical means) are piled up in an air-tight room. Warm chlorine gas is forced into the room, where it reaches every nook and corner of the cans. The warm gas has a tendency to unite with tin and form tin chloride, a highly volatile liquid. The mixture of gases—consisting of air, free chlorine and the vapor of tin chloride—is passed through a condenser, where the tin chloride is separated from the other gases and by a simple chemical process the absolutely pure tin is precipitated. A "Blessing Book." "I am keeping a 'Blessing Book,'" wrote one little woman who is struggling with rural problems in the far West. "I am trying to forget my trials and tribulations, trying to remember only the beautiful things that come into my life. In this barren western waste there is little that comes into one's life that one can really call blessings, but sometimes I just write down the memory of a beautiful sunset, or the kind words a neighbor spoke to me in passing, or the inspiration a letter brought, and sometimes I look into the heart of a rose and I learn a beautiful lesson; and at the close of the week, when I read my 'Blessing Book' I find my blessings outnumber my trials."—American Club Woman. Unstopping the Sink. When the drain-pipe of the kitchen sink becomes stopped up, try the following, suggested by Clarence W. Carroll of Rochester, N. Y., to the Technical World Magazine: Cut a piece of leather large enough to cover the sink plate. Remove the nozzle from the garden hose and make a hole in its center large enough to screw the end of the hose terminal into. Having screwed on the leather, place this over the sink plate, hold it tightly down and turn on the water. If no water be allowed to leak out from under the leather, the drain-pipe will get the full pressure from the faucet, and this will usually be sufficient to send the obstruction through the pipe.

THE COLONEL'S GOLD MINE Out in Gregory County, South Dakota, lives Colonel Johnson, the famed Alfalfa King of that great section. About thirty years ago he left Wisconsin for that domain. All he had was willing hands, a clear brain and a bright vision. Today he is the owner of thousands of acres, president of several banks. He has found a veritable gold mine in his thousand-acre Alfalfa field, and what is of particular interest to you and me is that his first Alfalfa Seed, twenty-five years ago or more, was purchased from the farm. The Colonel says: "The best paying crop in hay, or grass, or pasture food is Alfalfa. It outranks everything in money value." Salzer's Alfalfa is good on your own farm, for three to five tons of rich hay per acre, and with the aid of "Nitrage" (catalog) its growth is absolutely certain. ```markdown ``` For 10c In Postage We gladly mail our Catalog and sample package of Ten Famous Farm Seeds, including Speltz, "The Cereal Wonder; Rejuvenated White Bonanza Oats, "The Prize Winner; "Billion Dollar Grass; Teosinte, Silo Filler, Alfaica, etc., etc. Or Send 12c And we will mail you our big Catalog and six generous packages of Early Cabbage, Carrot, Cucumber, Lettuce, Radish, Onion-furnishing lots and lots of juicy delicious Vegetables during the early Spring and Summer.

JUST A BIT TOO STRENUOUS Owner of Bungalow Not Altogether Thankful for the Labor of the Firemen. In the lobby of a Washington hotel the other evening the conversation turned to the enthusiasm of the volunteer fireman. Congressman Edmund Platt of New York smilingly recalled a story along that line. A man named Smith, the congressman said, had a bungalow down along the Jersey coast. Recently the bungalow was burned, and meeting an acquaintance one afternoon Smith sadly cited the harrowing details. "What was the trouble?" finally interrupted an acquaintance. "Haven't you got a fire department down that way?" "Oh, yes," answered Smith with a reflective sigh. "We have a fire department, all right." "I see," thoughtfully mused the acquaintance. "Got there too late to put the fire out, I suppose?" "Oh, no," rejoined Smith. "They put the fire out, but in doing it they washed away the building lot."—Philadelphia Telegraph.

The highest ambition is the parent of the truest humility; it makes one realize that our ultimate aim is so high that we need a power far beyond our own for the accomplishments of so transcendent a work; that if we are truly to be co-workers with Almighty God himself in the working out of the great scheme that rules the universe, the task is far too great for our unaided efforts, and we may confidently rely upon a power divine to help us in all our needs.

INDIAN HAD SENSE OF HUMOR At Least Enough to Get Off Good Joke on the Cross-Examining Lawyer. From Fenimore Cooper and other authorities we have gained the impression that the Indian is a stolid, severe individual, with no sense of the white man's humor, but one red brother showed himself quite a civilized joker the other day in the United States court at St. Paul. He was a witness in a hotly contested case, and a lawyer was after him in the most approved style to cast discreetly on his testimony. After apparently frightening the Indian with the awful consequences which would follow the slightest deviation from the truth, the lawyer solemnly said: "Now, sir, I want you to tell me the exact truth, without any shuffling or evasion. I want you to look me square in the eye and tell me how you get your living?" The Indian looked straight at the lawyer and, with that grave air familiar to all acquainted with the red man, simply said: "Eat." The courtroom roared and the lawyer let the witness go. SHE HAD MET THE "DUB" Nice Young Chap Probably Regretted His Somewhat Unkind Char- acterization. At a dancing academy dance the other evening a nice young chap was introduced to a perfectly dandy girl. She was young, sympathetic and wise to all the steps, and the kid fell for her at once. Then she said: "You're awfully nice to me, but can't you introduce me to some of your men friends around here?" "Well, I don't know anybody except that funny-looking dub over there in the corner. He and I belong to the same lodge. Did you ever meet him?" "Indeed I did—years ago. He used to come and see me a lot—brought me flowers and candy, and all that." "He did? That old guy? Well, I didn't think it was in him! This'll be a joke to tell to the other fellows. How did you shake him at last?" "Married him. Come on over and I'll introduce you."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. IF HAIR IS TURNING GRAY, USE SAGE TEA Don't Look Old! Try Grandmother's Recipe to Darken and Beautify Gray, Faded, Lifeless Hair. Grandmother kept her hair beautifully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well-known druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied—it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and abundant. Adv. St. Genevieve. St. Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris, was consecrated at the age of seven to the service of religion by St. Germanus, bishop of Auxerre, who chanced to pass through the village of Nanterre, where she lived, about four miles from Paris. She acquired a great reputation for sanctity. The church of St. Genevieve, completed in 1764, was named in her honor. During the revolutionary period it was withdrawn from the service of religion and called the Pantheon, but was afterward restored in name and to ecclesiastical uses.
