At the Dinner,
AT 2:3O r. M,

Last Christmas a certain minister
was invited to a big dinner at the
house of one Of the leading men in
the town. At the dinner table he was
placed opposite goose.
The lady Of the house was placed
on the minister's left. Seeing the
goose he remarked:
"Shall I sit so close to the goose?"
Finding his words a bit equivocal,
he turned round to the lady, and said,
in most inoffensive tone:
Excuse ne, my lady; / meant the
roast one"

GREY HAIR MAKES
 YOU LOOK. OLD.
Use Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur and Your Gray Hair. Will ,,
 Quickly Vanish

Gray hair is mark. of age, and nothing that can be said as to it's beauty will offset the disadvantag gcs of this mark of age set upon your brow.
 WYeth,s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy darkens the hair and restores 1t to it's youthful beauty. Our grand mothers and their grandmothers be- fore them used sage and sulphur for darkening their hair. Nothing has ever been found more effective for this purpose than these two time-h hon. ored remedies, but Wyeth, modern chemist, has combined the two with other ingredients, which makes a de- lightful dressing for the hair, and which not onlytsrembves every trace of dandruffs but promotes the growth of the hair. It alse4 stops the hair from falling out, and makes it beauti- ful.
 All druggists are authorized to re- fund the money if it fails to do ex- actly as represented.
 Don't neglect your hair and don't resort to o1d-time hair dyes. Get a bottle, Of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur from your druggist today, and notice the difference in your hair after few days use.
 This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents bottle, and is recommended and sold by all druggists.

 day afternoon at 2.30 vii furnish some fine tennis, it is expected, Olcott meet ing Kendall then in the semi finals.
 A wel1-fought exhibition match was played on Thursday between Mitchell and Olcott paired against A. Brown and Cary, in which Mitchell and Ol- colt succeeded in taking the match in straight sets, 6-4 and GA. Cary and Brown started a winning pace, taking the first two games of the opening set, largely on the terrific Lawfords of Brown and the steady playing of Cary. Mitchell and Olcott then perfected a strong defensive and aggressive game against their opponents, by which they evened the sets, and then. drew ahead to the winning point. In the second set Mitchell and Olcott started in the lead, only to have Cary and Brown draw up on them and then go off their game, so that the Mitchell-Olcott com bination had a rather easy finish.
