F V‘_,.I_‘ Must Have Been. “It was a painful experience,” said the bachelor. *“What happened?” “I went to the door of my apart ament to get the morning paper. The ipaper was lying rather far out in the thall, and I was clad in my pajamas, (but the hour was early and I thought X could make a dash for it. Well, the 4door snapped to and left me in the hall. It took me about an hour to get the janitor, and meanwhile the other inhabitants were going about their daily occupationts. Very em- ‘barrassing situation, I assure you.” Sieeping Car Tragedy. “Say, mister,” said the man in the upper berth to the occupant in the lower, “quit that music, will you? ‘What do you think this is, a concert hall? The rest of us want to sleep.” “Why, the car is so stuffy,” said the warbler, “I was only humming a little alr—" It was then that he was hit with a Pullman pillow, remaining uncon: @aclous for seven hours.—Harpers ‘Weekly. Bedridden. “Yes, ma’am,” said Harry the Hobo, 1 know I look like a strong men, but out of my fifty years of my life I've spent over sixteen years in bed.” “Why, you poor man,” replied the lady, sympathetically, handing him a quarter. “What has been the trouble —paralysis?”’ *“No, ma’am,” said Harry, “jest a weglar habit of sleepin’ eight hours a {ay, ma’am.”—Harper's Weekly. ELIGIBLE. Cooey SBtman “Yes, Bromley came in for a for Rune the other day. He's actually got more money than he knows what to do wi “Yes; there are certain people who fwill be anxious to met him now, and after that he’ll know more.” Keep to Standard. Each high achievement is a sign and token of the whole nature’s pos- sibility. What a piece of the man was for that shining movement, it is the duty of the whole man to be ak ways.—Phillips Brooks. GRANDMOTHERS USED SAGE TEA To Darken the Hair and Restore Gray and Faded Hair to Its Na- tural Color. It is easier to preserve the color of the hair than to restore it, although it is possible to do both, Our grand- mothers understood the secret. They made a “sage tea,” and their dark, glossy hair long after middle life was due to this fact. Our mothers have gray hairs before they are fifty, but they are beginning to appreciate the wisdom of our grandmothers in us- ing “sage tea” for their hair and are fast following suit. The present generation has the ad- vantage of the past in that it can get a ready-to-use preparation called ‘Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem- edy. As a scalp tonic and color re- storer this preparation is vastly su- perior to the ordinary “sage tea’” made by our grandmothers. The growth and beauty of the hair depends on a healthy condition of the scalp. Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy quickly kills the dan- druff germs which rob the hair of its life, color and lustre, makes the scalp clean and healthy, gives the hair strength, color and beauty, and makes it grow. €Get a b0-cent bottle from your druggist today.

Far Reaching Infiuence. *“What 1s meant by graft?” asked the inquiring foreigner. “Graft,” said the resident of a great city, “is a system which ulti- tely results in compelling a large rtion of the population to apologize constantly for not having money, and the remainder to explain how they got it” | ; i Making the World Brighter. “If I can do anything to make the world brighter for my fellow men,” said the poet, “I shall be satisfied.” ! “Then why don’t you quit writing poetry,” his weary wife asked, “and get up a humorous series in which the humor is furnished by some one who hits another over the head with a club?” Envious Discontent. “Yes,” sald the conversational man, in the railway car, “I often wish I ‘Were a candidate instead of a com- mercial traveler.” “Your position is more secure.” “Yes. But I'm lucky if I get a few: people to accept my goods without ex- pecting half the community to break out into three cheers over them.” 7 'mité¥ an hour,”#ald the rural justice, eating the “You are charged wllh going 40 *and you are fined $40.” “Judge,” sald the motorist, “I have only $2.” “Well, you've got, a nerve going 40 miles an hour on a reserve of $3. Hanq me the money.” | His Object. *“I've read your play through twleo. sald the producing manager, “and X’ can’t find a suggestive line in it.” “Of course you can't” replied the aspiring dramatist. “I have taken, care to keep it perfectly clean.” | “What did you write it M—“ clger™ Seldom. i People who talk merely for the pur pose of attracting attention to them- | selves seldom get the kind of atten- | tion that is worth anything.

Glass bottles, with cork stop- into use until the middle of the four teenth century.’ Keep Warm While Asleep. Among the Musgum tribe of the Ka~ merun, near Lake Chad, a German explorer reports that he has discover- ed an unexpected luxury. As the nights are very cold in that part, the beds are built like stone coffins, and underneath a fire burns all night, keep- | ing the sleeper warm. Use of Poetry. We believe that poetry, far from in- Juring society, 18 one of the great in- ation. It litts the mind above ordi- nary life, gives it a respite from de- pressing cares and awakens the con- sclousness of its affinity with what is pure and noble.—Channing. Don’t Look for Easy Ones.
