KILL THE DANDRuff GERM
Or Your Hair Will Fall Out TIN You Be-
come Bald.

Modern science has discovered that
dandruf is caused by a germ that digs
up the scalp in scales, as it burrows down
to the roots of the hair, where it destroys
the hairs vitality, causing falling hair,
and, ultimately, badness. After Prof.
Unna, of Hamburg, Germany, discovered
the dandruf germ, all efforts to find a
remedy failed until the great laboratory
discovery was made which resulted in
Newbro's Herpicide. 1t alone of all
other hair preparations kill the dandruf
germ: Without dandruf, hair grows
luxuriantly. destroy the cause, you re-
move the effect"

"Peep, peep!" And out of the great
white egg with blue flowers on it came
a downy something!
The creature was surrounded with
every precaution from the first hour of
its Matching. 1t grew amazingly, but
proved to be no Easter hen-only a gos-
ling, and gander ut that!
The old people, though disappointed,
yet loved it, and when in time it grew to
be an old, pink eyed, snow white gander
1t manifested in its turn strange deTo-
ton for Meek.
Meantime the adopted child, JOHN, had
grown up lazy, i'll contrived, ungrateful.
He had stolen money from Colonel Tol-
stone, who, for the sake Of the good old
people, had refrained from committing
the boy to be sentenced to the peniten-
tiary.
JOHN was given to wandering off.
He had in his last wandering away staid
two whole years, and all this time Neck
felt that the strong box chained to the
bedpost was safer than when JOHN had
been about the cabin.
1t was Easter eve now, and no turkey
had yet come from Tolstone House. The
old people felt forsaken and forlorn as
they shivered over their smoldering logs.

An Easter Scene.

SUNLIGHT poured through polished panes
upon a we'll secured floor. The odor OF
chemicals filled the air. Down a long
room stretched a row of white iron beds
On a cot lay n child whose face was as
pale as the lime washed walls. In one
blue veined hand the youngster held
fower-a flower once a bud under the
Bermuda sky.
"I've seen them before" the child was
saving. "I used to see them in the win
dows of the shops where they make
them"
All day the lily stood in a slender vase
at the head of the cot. When the night
came and the lights burned low in that
long, white room, the lily bent tenderly
over the face Of the sleeping child.

The public school building at this place
is reported to have been en- tered on Monday
morning April LIST, by unknown persons.
The furniture and the building sustained
some damage. We are told that chairs were

that glass In the sash WAS broken, and that
other testimonials OF love for the teachers
and regard for public property were In
evidence.

JOHN, the adopted son OF tnls
old couple. despite their injunctions, play
ed ill conditioned pranks along the way.
In Aunt Rebie's white oak splint bas.
ct were ten dozen eggs, nicely packed in
cotton seed, with bit of lint cotton on
top.
With this she counted on buying many
delicacies to add to an Easter feast,
mainly to be furnished by basket from
Tolstone House. That never failing Eas-
ter basket would contain a turkey, flank
ed with jams and 'lightnin bread" and
real white folks cake" Master and
mistress never forgot these old quondam
slaves at Eastertide.
But ut the first store of the short row
of village shops Rebie came to fear that
she could not get even the moderate price
Of 10 cents q dozen for the eggs she car
ried, for there she saw what she had new
er seen before, a gorgeous supply Of eggs
red, yellow, purple, blue, gold, and nev-
er a plain white one among them.
Fer goodness sake, Meek, what sorter
eggs is dem?" exclaimed the old woman.
They are Easter eggs. The Easter
hen laid them," explained the young
clerk facetiously.
"You don't say! Not des one hen, sir ?
You hear dat, Meek! Des one hen. Do
she hatch also?
"Wel!, not often. She usually rests up
till another Easter"
"Well, she need to-"
"Can't I sell you some"
A gleam lit up Meck's dim old eyes as
he drew his wife aside to whisper:
"Boot leg blue hen want set, Rebie.'
"Fer true" exclaimed Rebie.
"Swap 20 eggs for some Of dem, Re-
bic"
Even swap"
"Is you crazy? Dozen fer one and be
glad"
"What bout de other things US wuz
gwine buy?"
"Ain't what marse sends alas 'nough
and MOI"
So Rebie offered the exchange Of doz-
en- for one. The clerk made the bargain
and, perhaps pricked in conscience at so
manifestly unfair trade, threw in an
extra one-a great white egg with just q
tiny blue flower drawn here and there
on its surface.
At home. in their little daubed log
cabin, they carefully handled the eggs.
Neck raised the large one gingerly: dis
must be de last of de litter, hit so diff
ferent from de rest. Hits clearer dan de
others too"
In fact, it was the only raw one Of the
number, the only one whose pores were
not thick with dye.
With every precaution the boot leg blue
was "set."
There were two treasures now to be
guarded from the prying proclivities Of
Jo-Jim-the nest of many colored eggs
and a certain strong box chained to the
leg of the old four post bed in the cabin.
Even since the little scamp could re-
member he had tried to find out how that
box got there and what was in it, but old
Rebie did not herself know.
If Neck knew its contents, he had never
told either Rebie or JOHN. Old master
had given it to his trusted slave to keep
till young master needed it most. This
box, this Injunction and an old blunder-
buss Of a pistol had been given to old
Meek.
Three weeks had passed and no sign Of
a chick, another week and vet another.
Then, Just as the boot leg blue was be-
ginning to distrust the laws Of nature

The Feast of Easter.

suppose, from Eastre, the title Of Sax
on deity whose feast was celebrated ev-
cry year in the spring about the same
time as the Christian festival, the name
Aeing retained when the character OF the
least was changed, or, as others suppose,
from Oster, which signifies rising. If
the latter supposition be correct, Easter
Is in name as we'll as reality the feast OF
