In TROUBLE. Yesterday a young
lady was promenading ON Main street
aud while looking around to see if she
attracted due share of attention
dropped her fan. She made three Of
forts to get down to it, but couldn't
reach it. Her pull back dress wouldn't
allow that much of a change from a
perpendicular. A gallant young gen.
tleman came to the rescue, and the
waddling pr0Densder went on her
way, happy to think she had achieved
the acme Of fasbiop-and folly.

Thirteen months ago Dan Riordan's
pony disappeared aud has not seen
hide nor hair of him since, until a few
days ago, when he found him feeding
on the common near tho Catholic GEM

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
aration 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 dandrutf,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates 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 n new growth, except
in extreme old age. It is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair q splendid, glossy APP
pearance. A. 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"
