looked toward the keeper. who advanced and
taking the cards from the rack displayed

THE PIG WINS AGAIN.
There were three tens, an ace, and a queen.
Mr.. Speaightts shows up on pair of lives,
a pair of jacks, and a nine spot. AS soon
as the pig saw Mr.. Speaightts's hand he
kicked the money over to his own pile with
a lively grunt of satisfaction. Mr.. Spea ghtts
had lost S3 60 and thought that was enough
for the day. So he refused to play any
more then.
Next day. however. he was induced te try

Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
ayation for restoring GEAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandruff,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glauds.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, 1t restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create a new. growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. y. a. Hayes, MD, State
Assayer of Massachusetts, says, '.The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and l
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"
