Every year increases the popu-
larity of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, 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 on
" reliable and perfected prepare
ton for restoring GRAY 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 proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out. as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In badness, it 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 applica-
tions, and gives the hair a splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,
Md, State Assayer of Massachu-
sets, says, "The constituents are
pure, and carefully selected for ex-
cellent quality; and l consider it
the Best PREPARATION Tor Its
intended purposes"

So,O0O,00O, to portion of which Michael
is heir. The rumor was correct. Forty
years ago, Michael Hogan, then twenty -one
years of age, and an uncle, the only survi-
vors OF a once numerous family. came to
this country and adopted it as their own.
Michael, a hard working, industrious young
man, finally took up his residence in West
Troy. The uncle went to Pottsville, Pa,
or that vicinity, and after laboring num-
Der Of years, purchased with his earnings
large tract Of land Michael also saved
money, and in the course of time laid by
enough to start himselfin the grocery busi-
ness, in which it can be truthfully said he
has prOspered. The venture of his uncle
turned out to be most profitable one.
The lands purchased by him were found to
contain an abundance of coal and by Judi
cious management he greatly increased his
earthly store until at the time of his death,
which occurred few weeks ego, he was
worth about S5,000,000. Last week
Michael received information from an at
torney that his uncle, with whom he had
not communicated for sixteen years, had
died. and that he WAS his only surviving
heir. Michael was not at all elated by this
announcement, and appeared rather sorry,
in fact, that such good fortune had come
to him. He was getting old, he said, and
would not want so much money, beside he
had enough for himself, wife and daughter,
and the possession Of the immense amount
mentioned above would only bring trouble
and disgrace upon his family eventually, as
young people nowadays did not know how
to spend money. As we have stated
Michael is a sober, industrious man, and is
every way worthy Of his fortune, which he
intends to claim next week IF he is SO
sorry about this little matter he can turn
it over to us and we'll cheerfully bear the
burden for him.-Troy (N ~ Times.
