It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayers Hair Vigor. 1t re-
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, SO bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour-
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
if you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use

Disadvantages of Suffering While Deliv-
ering Long Distance Message.
Hobson shutters. Hobson is first class
business man, and his vocal infirmity has
never interfered until recently with the
profits of the we'll known firm Of Hobson
& Dobson.
Hobson is progressive man, ever on
the alert to adopt modern methods. he
was one of the first local subscribers to the
telephone and has kept right up with the
march of inventions in all its ramlffca-
lions. AS q wide awake man Hobson was
not slow to grasp the possibilities Of the
long distance telephone. And that is how
Hobson and Dobson came to have the first
dispute which marred years of profitable
partnership.
Dobson went to New York last week. He
made his headquarters at we'll known
Gotham hotol and telegraphed Hobson Of
his arrival in the eastern town. 1t seems
that an eastern customer had failed to
keep a certain agreement the details of
which were familiar to Hobson, but not to
Dobson. 1t would take long telegram to
explain the details full> and Hobson de-
cided to call Dobson up on the long dis
tance telephone. The rate for conversation
between Chicago and New York is So for
five minutes, after the proper connections
are made and communication established.
The usual negotiations passed between the
operators, and Dobson recognized the voice

INTERRUPTED DUFF,s PRAYER.
The Reverend Negroes Invocation Ws
Forgotten In the Midst of Cannonadinx

The Reverend Negroes Invocation Was
Forgotten In the Midst of Cannonading.
Uncle Duff, hearing the noise, began to
pray; Aunt Saluda joined him feryently;
Sam listened stupidity and in suffocating
terror.
Fifteen cannon thundered together over
beyond the bridge, and flight of shells in
the air made prolonged whirring noise,
followed presently by rapid spluttering
of ,nusketry in the woods at the lower
edge of the plantation. The regiment went
across the field at double quick step, knock
ing over the fences as they came in the
way
..''Oh, good Lor, if ye kin spa de ole man
er !eetle bit lpnger''- began Uncle Duff,
But his prayer was interrupted by an ex-
plosion On 10th sides of the river, rival
opposing lines Of infantry exchanging long
rolling volleys.
Mrs. Farrow saw the cavalry scurry
away from their lurking place under the
river bank and disappear in the woods,
while four or five heavy field guns, drawn
byfpanting and overworked horses, trun-
dled rapidly along the red clay road, the
drivers whipping and swearing.
After a few rounds there came short
iuH in the Commandment, during which a
singular serenity pervaded the air and sky.
Oar, now, Lor, stop de wa right heah,
and lef' de ole darby
But Uncle Duff sprang to his feet as an
other awful cannonade began and she'll
burst on the railroad track in front of
the door. He forgot his prayer.
Hell an fury!" he cried, "dat's dam
gerous! Gi me my hat, TO- de Lor sakel
I'se gwine outen yer'' And he rushed
through the back doorway. and across the
garden to the woods, followed by Sam and
Aunt Saluda. -Lippineott's

Hunting the Polar Bear.

At we continued our journey in calm,
hazy weather. We had barely travelled two
hours before on turning a headland, we
suddenly espied the bear some 800 yards in
front OF u.s. At racing pace the dogs sped
away across the hard snow, but the bear
did not take long to consider his position
and then to deal with it, He decided not
| to deal with the dilemma at all and sim
ply bolted. But we were down upon him,
when Kolotengya quickly cut the single
trace OF the eight dogs, the sledge stopped
dead, and the elaborated dogs flew with
redoubled energy at the hairy giant, who
now turned to defend himself at last.
During the short space of time occupied
by us in coming up with the combatants
] had good opportunity of watching the
splendid tactics Of the dogs. AS soon as
they came up with the bear they spread
out in a semicircle right in front of their
foe and attacked him by making dashes
at his long, thick coat with their sharp,
glistening teeth, and they displayed during
these proceedings such cuteness and skill
that it was evident they quite understood
that it was a question of breakfast or no
breakfast for them.
Whenever tie bear angrily raised one OF
his hugo paws to crush one of his torment
ors the latter slid away in tho most agile
manner, while his companions gave the
wretched brute enough to attend to in an
other direction. However, few shots
from our winohesters soon ended the com.
bat, and an hour later we had the large
magnificent bearskin safely packed on the
sledge, together with good quantity OF
meat, while the dogs were treated to a
substantial meal, which they indeed want
I'd badly, and we again continued our
journey. -Fortnightly Review.
