the older Good VIII boys-had an IN
teresting experience last week. They
went with the supervisor across the
river into the Pines tn spend the
night After starting the fire and
warming up the cottage. they prepar-
ed their evening meal and thoroughly
onjeved the evening II came of cold
In the night. After they had prepared
heir breakfast and set the cottage
t. right In the morning, they pre-
pPfed TO cross the river In the row
loat in which they had gone to the
Pines the night before. The river
had frozen over in the night. 1hey
did not understand that large bed
of thin ice had quietly tioated down
in the night and come to standstill
In the river between the Pines and
Good Will
They realized this. however. before
they had gone far. They were ac-
companed In the boat by the super
visor and David r. Porter of New
York, who joined the party in order
to help them break the Ice. 1t TOOK
them just one hour and fifteen min
utes to cross. The river at that
point is six hundred feet wide. Ine
wind was blowing down the river be-
tween the banks in a gale. 1t was
so cold that drops of water, spattered
by the oars, froze and hung to their
garments like glass beads The
party had not anticipated the sudden
change of temperature and only two
of the five had any protection for
the hands and all we're obliged to
work to make their way across. When
in mid river, one of the oar locks
broke and before getting across the
other slipped from it's fastenings and
went to the bottom of the river. The
party agreed upon getting to the
shore In safety, that such trips are
always more interesting IL something
happens.

Pretty strong talk, perhaps you'll
say, but it's honest talk, every word
of it, because if G. r. Fogg was not
absolutely certain; If he did not know
from actual results obtained he could
not make such a generous offer.
Partisan Sage, which can now be
obtained in every town in America, is
also guaranteed to stop falling hair
and itching scalp.
1t is the ideal, delightful, rejuven-
ating hair dressing that makes hair
grow in abundance. Partisan Sage is
a prime favorite with women, because
it keeps the hair brilliant and fas-
cinating, is daintily perfumed, and is
not sticky or greasy.
The price for a large bottle is only
