Dear Mrs. Perkins: l really feel
it duty to write and let you know
the. wonderful results l have OBJ
tanned by the use of your scalp
treatment. I have not only found
it to be dandruff remover, but it
is also hair beautifier. 1t would
do you good to see how straight and
black my hair is since using your
treatment. OF the many prepara-
lions of this kind on the market,
yours seems to be the only one that
does what it claims. You certainly
have discovered the true secret of
identifying the hair, and l wish you
every success-and give you per-
mission to use this letter and my
name, if you like, as | feel that I
cannot too highly recommend it.
Wishing you merry Christmas and
a prosperous new year.

HUNDREDS OF WOMEN PRAISE
HER. ~

~ Denver, Col, April %, 1909.
To Whom it May Concern: *
I find it pleasure to say a word
in praise of Madam Perkins, and her
remarkable success in scientific scalp
treatment.
Madam Perkins, for many years a
resident of Denver, is an active
member of Zion Baptist church, and
one of the most favorably known
women in our state. The beautiful
hair of hundreds of women in our
city and other parts of the state is
a tribute to her phenomenal success
in her profession. The wonderful
growth of her own hair is a most
remarkable testimony. l cheerfully
recommend her to all ladies who may
be interested in the growing and
identifying of the hair.
Respectfully,
DAVID e. OVER.
Pastor Zion Baptist Church.

DRkUGHT THAT SAVED A CITY
the Heroic Act of Its SelfSacri-

II was back in the Thirty Years
war, 1t was in 1891, that the prin
cipal event in the history of the city
took place; the principal event, in
the Judgment of every inhabitant. It
is annually commemorated by play
a pageant, in which all that happened
in the course of the great day-the
day of the Meister-trunk, the Master
Drinks represented by generals and
counselors, soldiers and people, cos

the market place, in the rathhaus

For the ferocious Tilly captured
Rothenburg. and, enraged by his
losses, declared that the town should
be destroyed, the leading inhabitants
slain, and the rest turned over to the
soldiery. But women and children
walled lamentably as he rode to the
rathhaus, and clung to his stirrup
imploring mercy. And he flung them
mercy with contempt. Let the dogs
live" He said: 81 will be merciful
None but the burgomaster and ali
the counselors of the town shall die. p"
He went into the great room of the
rathhaus and called for wine and
frightened girl carried in huge and
brimming goblet-a goblet so huge
that he burst into a great laugh
Am to drink this?" he said, holding
it up. And the grim humor seized
him. "If any man of Rothenburg
will drink this at a single draught !
will spare the city and spare every
life!"
There was a great silence, and then
former burgomaster certain Nusch
his name is worthy of Iemem
brance-stepped intrepidly forward
and took the goblet from Tilly's hand
He drank, and the silence deepened
as the foot of the goblet slowly rose
in the air, he drank and drank till
every drop was drained. Then he fell
senseless to the floor
Revive him" said Tilly; and
Nusch came slowly back to life.
Tilly was a good loser. You have
won" he said. admiringly, as the man
raised himself and looked around
Whereat Rothenburg's hero could
only gasp out with touch of good
old-fashioned humor even in such a
presence:

New Mexico Fair.

Arrangements for a big base.
ball tournament for the Thirtieth
Annual New Mexico Fair are
now off with a swing that
assures the Southwestern fans
some OF the classiest sport ever
witnessed from the grandStand
on the Albuquerque diamond.
The Winners OF first, second, and
third places will be awarded
prizes, respectively of $1,000,
$4OO, and 5000, and the cash in
ducement is thus sufficient to
bring to Albuquerque some
pretty fast material from the
Southwestern towns. President
]. H. O'Rielly, of the Far, has
appointed William A. Keleher as
Superintendent of the baseball
tournament, and Mr.. Keleher
has taken hold vigorously to
make the tournament a winner.
He is an enthusiastic fan, and
well posted on the sport, and is
already lining up a speedy pro
gram. 1t is well to remember
that all entries for the tourna-
ment, which is to be plyed under
national league rules, must be in
the hands of Manager Keleher
not later than October 1st. There
will be no entrance fee, and clubs
are eligible from all towns in
New Mexico and from Amarillo
and El Paso, Texas, and Trini
dad, Colorado and Arizona.
Every town in New Mexico
and Arizona which makes anv
pretensions to playing baseball
should get in on the big tourna
ment to be pulled off at the Thir-
tieth Fair in Albuquerque next
October. The management has
made it worth while by offering
three prizes of $1,000, $4OO, and
5000, respectively. Winslow
should lose no time in lining up
her team for the Fair Tourna-
ment, and sending in the entry.
