DON'T BE UNREASONABLE.
# You Neglect the care of the Scalp
You Should Not Expect Beauti-
full Hair.

The hair is more exposed and hence
more liable toSaccumulate dust and
lirt than any other portion of the
body.
In spite of this the hair receives, as
4 rule, the least attention and no real
effort is made to keep it healthy
If the dandruff germ is allowed to
work unmolested and the scalp be
comes crusted with dirt accumula-
tons, one may expect the hair to die
and fall out. There is no cause for
surprise in this phenomenon; it Is ma
tural and happens in every instance
where the care of the hair and scalp
Is overlooked.
The one sure remedy which pre-
vents the loss of hair and permits a
healthy, luxuriant growth is found in
Jewbro's EIerpicide,
The dandruif germ cannot live on a
head to which Herpicide is regularly
applied. The germ dies. The hair
ceases to fall The terrible itching
stops almost instantly.
That is what Newbro's Herpicide
does.

When the storm of the civil war
broke over the country In 1861 John
Abercrombie, a young man of twenty
two, who had been preparing himself
to take his fathers place as president
and owner Of the controlling interest
in the AbercrOmhie Manufacturing
company. like most young men of
spirit at that period, insisted on join
ing the Union army. His father, who
was preparing to retire, was so dlsap-
pointed and angcred at this course
that he told his son to go to the war
and he hoped he would never come
back.
Il shall keep Jane Wethereil here
with me-" said the old man, ito take
care of the house and be comfort
I'm your stead and shall leave her ev-
cry cent of my property"
"Do so,' replied the son, "and you
may count on me not trying to break
the will. I shall claim nothing Of you
or what you leave behind you"
Jane Wetherell was not related to
the Abercrombles She was connec-
ton of Mrs Abercrombie, who had
brought her into the house for a COM
panion and nurse, and when Mrs. Aber-
crombie died her husband had contin-
ued to rely on the girl for various
comforts, including reading to him,
since his eyes were weak. When the
old man saw Johns name published
among the killed at Che battle Of An
tietam his heart softened, and he re-
GREETED his past action toward his son.
For twelve years Jane Wetherell took
care Of the old man. He said he would
make her comfortable after his death,
and 1t was generally supposed that
she would inherit all his property,
though no one knew Of the parting
scene between him and his son and
the fathers threat.
There were indications that Jennie
Wetherell had had love affair. She
never accepted any marked attention
from any young man, and she appear
ed to have suffered blight These
were the principal reasons why those
who knew her said that she had been
crossed in love and would not marry.
When Mr.. Abercrombie died every
one was surprised at two things-first,
that he left much larger estate than
it was supposed he had possessed and,
secondly, that he had made no will.
THE latter Of these surprises was the
more surprise because by not MAX
ing will he left his estate to be con-
tested for by host Of relatives, in
none Of whom he had taken any inter
est. while Jennie Wetherell, in whose
veins there was none Of his blood, was
left out by the law Of Inheritance en-
tirely.
An account of this condition of
things got into the newspapers and
among other things stated was that
the body OF John Abercrombie had
never been recovered and was sup
pQsed to lie either in A trench or under

another that he had been hit in the
head by q mimic ball and the mem
ory Knocked out Of him till recently
The third declared that he had been
captured, taken to southern prison
and ON being exchanged had gone
west, where he had since lived incog
nito.
ANY one of these men If he could
have established his identity with that
of John Abercrombie would have in
herited the whole estate. But they
were all working on very small pros
pect. None Of them had any papers to
show that he had been in the army
and only one manifested any familiar
ity with military affairs. Jane Weth
erell at once pronounced them all i'm
posters. Had she had any legal claim
on the estate her word would have
counted for little or nothing AS 1t
was, 1t counted for good deal.
Since the settlement of the estate
was in tumble Jane Wetherell was
left by the chancery court in charge
Of the house In which she had so long
lived. A year elapsed. at the end OF
which 107 names Of relatives of the de
ceased Abercrombie were handed in to
the court as claimants for a share of
his estate, and there were more to
come 1t began to look as If no one
would be rich from the estate unless
one Of these men who had risen up out
Of the earth could prove himself to be
John Abercrombie.
One day there was wedding at the
Abercrombie house. Jennie Wetherell
was the bride. Who the groom was no
one seemed to know. There were no
cards, no invitations. Only few wit
nesses were present, and they were
servants. AS soon as the ceremony
had been performed the groom went to
the chancery court and presented dis
charge papers from the Union army
and other proofs that he was Sergeant
John Abercrombie.
The case Of the relatives collapsed.
John Abercrombie had gone to the war
partly because Jennie Wetherell had
refused to marry him. After his de-
parture she had discovered that she
loved him. Finding his name had
been reported among the killed after
the battle Of Antietam, he had taken
advantage OF the error to disappear
from the world. Being badly wound
ed, he was discharged and went to
Colorado, where he had lived till in
newspaper he had seen an account Of
the clamor for his fathers estate, when
he had returned and learned from Miss
Wetherel Of her mistake In refusing
him.
