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 25; between 25 and 80;
between 80 and IS; between 80 ana
40 and between 40 and As.
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
five enthusiastically attributed ner
luxuriant hair to Partisan Sage.
Partisan Sage is discovery of the
celebrated DR.. Giroux, who spent the
best years of his life to perfectng
this great hair tonic
people DIR. Giroux said, Partisan
Sage is the most delightful hair dress
ing in the world but it is more than a
hair dressing. 1t cures dandruff by
killing the germs that infcst the roots
of the hair; it stops falling hair; it
gives vigor and strength to the hair
roots; it restores gray hair to its
natural color.
Bowditch, Webster & Co, sell
Partisan Sage at so cents bottle and
guarantee it to do all that DR..
Giroux claims for it or money re-
funded. If you do not reside near
a druggist who sells Partisan Sage,
send so cents to Giroux Mfg Co.,
Buffalo. N. Y, and bottle will be
sent you all charges prepaid.

TO have nothing to bother with Satur-

Decent team which she expected To
come for them. The hands on the clock
crept along toward Z o'clock but the
team came not, and when at 6.55 the
steamer blew her whistle the lady was
still waiting At that period of the
game there came to her the realizing
sense that she was left and not only
that. for there also came the convlc-
tion that she mad neglected to order
arv team at all. but that in the excite
ment of preparation she had only
thought she had ordered it.

w. G. BRAwLEY, secretary of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
in an interview with the Milwaukee
Evening Wisconsin, said:
1.-THE democratic party" said Secre-
tary Brawley, lis in excellent shape
now to make a vigorous campaign.
Nomination papers for the persons
named by the convention will be put
in circulation at once and the necessary
signatures obtained without difficulty.
i have not looked up to see the exact
number of signatures needed in the
state at large and in the several con-
gressional districts, but that is simple
matter. Thanks to the liberality of the
delegates, the state central committee
has good working capital to start a
vigorous fight. The lively fight at the
convention will tend, think, to stir up
interest of democrats all over the state
and will not leave any sore spots which
will jeOpardize the interests OF the
party. Our organization in each
country is in excellent shape and if it
should occur that the Aldrich or Foraker
faction of the republican party domi-
mates the republican convention, Bryan
will carry Wisconsin, as sure as fate.
If some other candidate is chosen as the
republican standard bearer, Bryan will
get good big vote in this state just the
same"

1t is doubtful if any city IL Wiscon-

many flags the other day as did APP
pleton in honor of the departure Of
the Atlantic fleet under the command
of Admiral R. D. Evans. One of the
chief reasons that the local interest
was shown is on account of Evans be-
ing so well known here, he having
been consulting engineer at the time
the plant of local paper company
was constructed. 1t was during Cleve-
lands term and Evans was captain on
leave of absence for a year.
One thing characteristic Of the
sailor was shown at that time He
had to put across the right of way of
the Ashland division of the Chicago &
Northwestern road a high bridge
which connects the acid tower on a
high hill with the mill in the valley
The road officials objected to the
bridge and to stop the work had
switch engines playing up and down
the right of way, with the section
crew on hand to offer resistance.
Evans gave note to one of his
men, who returned in half an hour
with a dozen rifles and ammunition.
Evans stepped up to the section fore
man and in his hluff way remarked:
THE srst man who offers resistance
will get his - carcass filled with
Lead
The bridge went up and has been
in use for years.-Milwaukee Sentinel.
