East Sumner.

January 18th, 18th, 10th, mark the
birthdays of three able, brilliant repre-
sentative American citizens, whose
names are familiar to the readers of
American history. The first date above
given being the birthday of Benjamin
Franklin in 1905. The second date, the
birth of Daniel Webster in 1882 The
last date, the birth of Robert E. Lee In
1907.
Each was eminently fitted for the i'm
portant position occupied and honored
BY him, and for their ability, honesty
and integrity are they honored to-day.
Franklin, as statesman and diplomat,
Webster as an orator and statesman, and
Lee, as an able, skillful general, though
fighting for a lost cause.
Neither in his official capacity was
accused of malfeasance, dishonesty or
graft. Loyal to their convictions Of
right and justice, they labored with
loyalty and fidelity for the cause espous-
cd, and to-day the republic needs more
men of their giant calibre. Lee, though
accepting a mistaken and fatal policy,
vet, no doubt, was conscientious and
honest and true to his convictions
Each man may have had his faults, yet
the ardor, fidelity and honesty of pur-
pose displayed, is worthy of emulation
BY more modern servants Of the republic
to day.
Each had high ideals and devoted
his energies to its attainment. Here
ia lesson for the young Of to-day.
Have high ideal, noble purpose in
life, and strive earnestly to attain to It,.
Too many have an aimless purpose in
life, and hence never succeed. Musings

ANY Woman Can Have
Beautiful Hair.

Many women do not realize the at
fractions they possess because they do
not give proper attention to the hair.
The women of Paris are famed for
their beauty, not because their facial
features are superior to those of other
women, but because they know how to
keep young by supplying vigor, luster
and strength to the hair. -,
