While there was. no especial cele0ra- tion in Fair Haven, St. Patrick's day was not forgotten by Fair Haven peo- pie. Last evening many attended the banquets given by the Knights of St. Patrick and the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, and there were scores of home gatherings, parties and, surprises. It was merry night and in many in stances the festivities held sway until the morning of the 18th. The weather was varied, as It is expected to be on this anniversary. There was little sunshine, more cloudiness, some rain. sleet and snow, enough variety for al most any day in the 365. There was evidence of wearing of the green" on every hand. Little bits of green ribbon were displayed by men, women and children, and there were green ties and green dresses donned. Many of the school children wore the color of the green little isle beyond the sea. Even some of the horses driven through the streets bore some green adornment.

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
Paris Is Full Of Them and Nearly All
Use Partisan Sage.

In. the beauty show at Paris two
years ago Gold Medals were awarded
to five different women.
To the most beautiful woman be-
tween 20 and 30; between 25 and 80;
between 80 and So; between 30 and
40 and between 40 and 45.
A society reporter who interviewed
all five women In the interest Of his
papers, reported that all Of them had
beautiful hair and that each OF the
Ave enthusiastically attributed her
luxuriant hair to Partisan Sage.
Partisan Sage is discovery OF the
celebrated Dr. Giroux. who spent the
best years OF his life to perfecting this
great hair tonic.
In giving his recipe to the French
people DR.. Giroux said, Partisan
Sage Is the most delightful hair dress
ing In the world. but It is more than n
hair dressing. II cures dandruff by
killing the germs that infest the roots
OF the hair; II stops falling hair: 1t
gives vigor and strength to the hair
roots; 1t restores gray hair to its
natural color.
VIM. l.. Gokay sells Partisan Sage
at so cents a bottle and guarantees
It to do all the DR.. Giroux claims for
Il or money refunded. II you do not
reside near a druggist who sells Pari-
sian Sage, send so cents to Giroux
Mfg. Co, Buffalo, N. Y, and bottle
will be sent you all charges prepaid.

JACK THE OLDEST DOG ALIVE.
He Was Born Nineteen Years Ago, But
Refuses to Think Of Dying.

Jack. a mongrel terrier but breed
worth while. has been 80 used to fight
Ing all his life that he will not die.
Not he; he refuses to think Of 1t. says
the Boston Globe.
His father was a cross between an
Irish terrier and skye terrier and his
mother smooth-haired fox terrier.
Glorious combination, terrier OF the
terriers. He was born In Newton Low
or Falls in March, 1889.
Bought for IS. his owner, to keep
the peace In the family Of Noah A.
Plympton Of Wellesley Hills, said that
he had brought him home for the baby
On those terms and on those alone
was he admitted to the household,
which he has ruled since to such an
extent that the members are grateful
that he does not know about the dis
cussion which 80 nearly kept him from
the place where he belonged.
Faithful. affectionate, good to look
at. with his expressive eyes and shag-
gy hair. intelligent to a degree, good.
tempered. though quick to resent an
Insult like the accident Of having
moved ones foot anywhere near him,
Jack has been cheering companion
and u devoted friend.
And Jack has had the unique honor
Of being present at Wellesley col
lege function, to which no man ever
has been admitted. He came home
decked out with ribbons.

CARRIES WIRELESS IN POCKET.
Boy Who Can Telegraph Homo as He
Walks Along the Road.

Walter ]. Willenborg is boylYho
has decided to conquer the prohlaus
of wireless telegraphy. He has his
own laboratory adjoining his bedroom.
He has constructed wireless receiy-
ing station at the top OF the house.
Curious to see what could be done
on a small scale, says st. Nicholas. he
invented and made portable tele-
graphic station that he could carry
about In his pockets. From the top
button OF his coat he hung slender
wire that reached to the ground and
so arranged that when he walked
along country road the wire would
trail upon the ground behind him.
In his pocket he carried little bat
terry. On a bit OF board as big as
your hand he placed complete wire
less transmitting apparatus. induction
coil. baby sounder and all. supporting
this fairy telegraph station by fasten.
ing II to belt around his waist.
From this travelling station he sent
messages from country road to his
folks at home eight miles away In
town, telling them where he was and
where he was going and that he would
reach home In time for supper.

The Life Earnest.

High hearts are never long with
out hearing some new call. some dis
tant clarion of God even in their
dreams; and soon they are observed
to break up the camp of ease and
start on some fresh march of faithful
service. And, looking higher still, we
find those who never wait till their
moral work accumulates, and who re-
ward resolution with no rest; with
whom, therefore. the alienation Is In
Simultaneous and constant; who do the
good only to see the better, and see
the better only to achieve 1t; who are
too meek for transport. too faithful
for remorse. too earnest for repose;
whose worship is action, and whose
action ceaseless aspiration.--J. Mar

HIppophaqy.

Hippophagy being In low water IN
these later days, somebody has set
himself to show what an exceedingly
respectable history attaches to the
practice. Among the ancients, especial
ly in China. eating horse flesh was
general. and II was only killed In Eu.
rope by papal decree Of Gregory III.
though why horse flesh should have
been interdicted does not appear. II
was only the famine caused by Ma.
poleon's invasion that revived the
practice in Germany. whore It has
survived ever since.
