THIS IS MY 52nd BIRTHDAY, Bishop Anderson. Rev. William F. Anderson, bishop ol the Me2thodist Episcopal Church. was born in Morgantown, W. Va., April 1860. He was graduated from the Ohio Wesleyan University in 1884, and from Drew Theological Seminary in 1887. Immediately upon the completion of his theclogical studies and his ordination to the ministry Dr. Anderson began a suc- cessful pastorate in New York City and vicinity, which terminated in 1904 in his election as corresponding secretary of the Methodist Church Board of Education. This position hie held until his election to the bish- opric three years ago. For a num- Ler of years he served also as a mem- Ler of the hoard of managers of the missionary society of the church. Bishop Anderson has written exten- sively for the religious press. He resides in Chattanooga, Tenn. Did you ever think about it?

If you have never looked at it in that light s worth thinking about.—Marys- ville, Democrat, Kan. What Do You Think? Suppose, at the forthcoming Chi- cago national convention Taft is re- nominated and that at the Baltimore cenvention a standard, old-line; guar- anteed stand-patter like Judson Har- mon is nominated, what do you think will happen? Does this appear reasonable: That within 60 days after such nomina- tion insurgent spirit, over the length and breadtn of this country, will con- centrate in the form of a new nation- al party, probably called the progres- sive party? Do you think that is likely to happen? Assume that the progressives in the Republican and Democrati¢ par- ties do amalgamate in a new progres- sive party, who will be the leader? Who is the logical candidate? La Follette Wilson? Brandeis? Hi- ram Johnson? With the machinery of the two old line parties working against the “Progressive party” could it win in 19122 In 19167 Can the avalanche of popular pro- gressive sentiment be in any way stayed this year? Do you believe that the wide-spread insurgency among the people will permit of the nomination of stand-pat candidates at both Chicago and Baltimore?— ‘Wisconsin State Journal, Ingpiration in Dreams. Goethe frankly acknowledged that he owed much of his best work to dreams. “The objects,” he wrote, “which had occupied my attention during the day often reappeared at night in connected dreams, On awak- ing, a new composition, or a portion of one I had already commenced, pre- sented ftgelf to my mind.” e s eyt BB S St — ULD STAGES OF NEW YORK Many Years Ago They Were Operated Regularly Between Metropolis and Other Cities. In escavating underneath the former Tallman livery in New York recently workmen found a number of straps such as were used in former days on the stage coaches which plied between Albany to Buffalo. The straps are supposed to have been made at the Sherwood establish- ment, which many years ago stood at the northeast corner of State and Dill streets. S. C. Tallman said she be- lieved the straps to be at least 75 years old, and to have lain where they were found probably for that length of time or longer. It was in 1809 that Isaac Sherwood of Skaneatles. became a partner of Jason Barker of Utlca in conducting the stage line which passed through this county, carrying the United States mail. It is recorded that in 1816 a line of coaches, among the proprietors of which was the firm of Isaac Sher- wood & Co. of Auburn, was operated between Canandaigua and Utica. These coaches passed over what was known as the Seneca turnpike, con- structed between: the two points named. It was designed to build this road six rods wide, the middle 25 feet of it to be covered with gravel or broken stone to a depth of 15 inches. The Seneca Turnpike company was puthorized ‘to erect a toll gate every ten miles and exact 1214 cents toll for two-horse teams and 26 cents for four horses. From TUtlea east a tri-weekly stage line was operated to Albany, and this likewise was controlled by Sherwood & Co. and others. The corner of State and Dill streets was a great center for stage coaches In the early days. Various other lines besides the turnpike stages converged In Auburn, there being stages to Ho- mer, Ithaca, Oswego, Aurora and other places. It was in that day that the fight broke out between the Pioneer Line, as a new competing company was called, and the Sherwood combina- tion. The Pioneer Line gained control of the principal hotel in the village, known as the Western Exchange, hop- Ing thus to embarrass its rivals. But the Sherwood interests fitted up the Bank of Auburn, as it was known, for their headquarters. An issue of this campaign was the question of running stage coaches on Sunday. IT ASTONISHED THE COOK Marvelous Appetite of “Mr. Claren- don,” Whose Name Was Pass- port to Kitchen’s Eest. J. Hayden-Clarendon, eating his three meals in a German grill of much renown, has, day by day, extended his acquaintanceship from the steward to each of the waiters and from thence into the kitchen to the cooks. And it 80 happened a while ago that one of the cooks had had to send his wife to 4 hospital. Clarendon, ever thought- ful, bought flowers and sent them out to the kitchen to be forwarded thence to the hospital. This, of course, made him more than solid with the culinary depert- ment of the big restaurant, with the result that whenever- a waiter an- nounced that the order was “for Mr. Clarendon” the cooks would go to the limit in getting him the best steaks and chops and serving them as works of art. The waiters weren't slow in learn- ing that the word “Clarendon” was the passport to the kitchen’s best— the open sesame, as it were, So 1t happened that one atternoon a waiter came into the kitchen with the order: “T-bone steak, rare, for Mr. Claren- don.” The man at the broiler threw up his hands. ““What's come over Mr. Clarendon?” he asked in astonishment. *“He has had two porterhouse steaks, boiled salmon, ham and eggs, three oyster stews, sanddabs, chops, and now he wants a T-bone steak—and all in an hour!”—San Francisco Chronicle, Wild Bird Returns to Captivity. Are birds able to think and remem- ber where they have been well cared for? A gentleman living in Leith is In the habit of feeding the birds which frequent his garden during the winter months. Some time in January, 1911, he enticed a greenfinch to emter a cage and so captured it. It was wear- Ing a ring on its leg marked “Aber- deen University, 7186.” In the following March he set it at liberty, declares a correspondent of The Scotsman. He was much sur- prised when on January 13, 1912, the bird returned. On his cage being pre- sented to him, the bird hopped con- tentedly into it and settled comforta- bly down for the severe season. Amn examination of the ring left no doubt 8s to the identity of the bird. Where Sallors Disagree. On two toples the great trans-At lantic steamship ‘companies are not agreed.

During the sums, mer of 1863, the elder, with John T. Raymond and several other well-known actors, occupled the local theater of & seagide sunimer resort, to which he and his company drew a large house several nights in the week to hear and see them act—rehearse, really, impor- tant plays for their next winter's New York season. The gallery “gods” became 80 ob- sireperous on occasions that it was with great difiiculty the play could be procecded with. The ringleader, a town tough, was known as Bill Han- rahan. The elder Sothern addressed him in the midst of the most unearthly noise, ag follows: “Mr. Hanrahan, will you be good enough to take charge of the galiery and keep order for me? I shall feel very grateful.” The result was magical! Bill cracked the heads of 'a few of his erstwhile fellow rioters with such good effect that it was only a little time before the best of order prevailed. Artificial Sponge. The manufacture of artificial sponge is based on the action of zinc chloride on pure cellulose which has been mixed .with coarse rock salt. The mass is placed in a press provided with pins which make tiny canals like pores. This sponge swells with wa. ter and hardens on drying like a real sponge. OLD-TIME REMEDY DARKENS THE HAIR Gives Color, Lustre to Faded and Gray Hair—Dandruff Quickly Removed. For generations Sage and Sulphur have been used for hair and scalp troubles. Almost everyone knows the value of such a combination for keeping the hair a good even color, for curing dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair, and for promoting the growth of the hair. Years ago the only way to get a Hair Tonic of this kind was to make it in the home, which was troublestme and not al- ways satisfactory. Nowadays, almost an. up-to-date druggist can supply his patrons with a ready-to-use pro- duct, sxillfully prepared in perfectly equipped laboratories. An ideal preparation of this sort is Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, in which Sage and Sulphur are combined with other valuable remedies for scalp troubles and thin, weak hair that is losing its color or coming out. After using this remedy for a few days, you will notice the scalp will feel better, the dandruff will soon be gone, and in less than a month’s time there will be a won- derful difference in your hair. Don’t neglect your hair if it is full of dandruff, losing its color or coming out. Get a fifty cent bottle of Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur from your druggist, and see what a few days’ treatment will do for you. All druggists sell it, under guarantee that the money will be refunded if the remedy is not exactly as repre- sented. AUTO- MOBILE INSURANCE' Huffman Harris & Reynolds Bemld)i, Minn.
