How It Feels to Be Run Over,

"Whcn was run over,' writes correspondent, II had not seen the car approaching. The first thing l knew was that l was on the ground, kicking upward with my legs in all effort to get from under the car. Then felt a wheel going over uly chest, which bent as it passed over. In the inter vening second or two 1 went through several minutes worth of feelings, l bad the sensations of astouishment At being on the ground. of wanting to roll aside and away. of bracing myself and luy chest especially stiff to resist something, whatever it might be, while lightning flash of fear was dilnly there and q subconscious query. What an earth next" Yet 1t was hardly fear. because there was no time for such durable sensation. It was rath- CT d sense of being suddenly confront. ed with a grave reality, of doubtful, obscurely terrible import" = London Chronicle.

Making a Ma Tor.

John ESten Cooke, who went into the war as an enlisted man in Rich mond battery, was soon afterWard ep pointed all officer on the staff of Gen, eral J. l.. E. Stuart. On Stuart'S staff, MT. George Cary Eggleston says in "Recollections of a Varied Life" he distinguished himself by a certain laughing houchalance under fire and by his eager readiness to undertake Stuarts most perilous missions.
 It was ill recognition of some spe- cially daring service of that kind that Stuart gave him his promotion. The delightful way in which the great boy. ish southerner did it is best told in MT. Eggleston's own words.
 You're about my size, Cooke" Stu art said, but you're not so broad in the chest''
 "Yes, am," answered Cooke.
 Let's see if you are,' said Stuart taking off his coat as if for boxing match. "Try that on."
 Cooke donned the coat with it's three stars on the collar and found it fit.
 "Cut off two of the stars.' Stuart commanded, "and wear the coat to Richmond. Tell the people in the war department to make you major and send you back to me in q hurry. I'll aeed you tomorrow"

One of the attaches of the American in Michael Joseph Barry, the poet, who was appointed police magistrate in Dublin, was the principal figure. There was brought before him an Irish American charged with suspicious con- duct. The officer making the arrest stated, among other things, that the culprit was wearing a Republican hat"
 "Does your honor know what that means?' was the inquiry put to the court by the accused's lawyer.
 "It may be-" suggested Barry. "that It means a hat without a crown."- HQrpers Magazine

GRAY HAIR TALKS
HAIR INDEX OF AGE. DoN'I
 LOOK OLD.

How often one hears the ex- nrass;an aShe is gray and is begin ming to look old.' It is true that gray hair usually denotes age and IS aIwavs associated with age. You never hear one referred to as having pray hair and looking young.
 The hair is generally the index of ape. If your hair is gray, you can | bIame your friends for referring to you as looking old. You can't retain a youthful appearance if you allow your hair to grow gray. Many per sons of middle age jeopardize their future simply by allowing the gray hairs to become manifest. There IS no necessity for this. If your hair has become faded or gray, try Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, the nrenaration which a chemist by the name of Wyeth devised few years ago. It is simple, inexpensive and nractical, and will banish the gray hairs in few days. It Is also guar anteed to remove dandruff and pro- mote the growth of the hair.
 It is pleasant dressing for the hair, and after using it a few days itching and dryness of the scalp en- tirely disappear.
 This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents bottle and is recommended and sold by

Little Problems of The Home.
The Wrong Vacation for Mother.

at the shore, the right to choose is. of course, theirs. Two weeks of quiet, restful farm life would no doubt do them lots more good and make them better fitted for their winter work. But this is a matter that rests with themselves. But surely they should not impose such a vacation upon their mother.
 It isn't done selfishly in one sense. It is done thoughtlessiy. They think they are giving their mother two weeks at the shore. and that sae ought to be delighted over it. Poor old soul, She does try to appear de- lighted for the girls sakes But If they would only think a little bit. if they would only listen to that longing in her voice when she talks of the farmi But they are so oc- cupied with their own affairs, with the dresses they are going to take and the boys from the store who are staying at the same resort. that. be- yond thinking complacently. mother will have a vacation. too. they never give another thought to her.
 To be sure. 1t costs a little less for all Of them to go to the one place, "-tN NA1N 4S atAsdAAAh-s Abb. " -lEu salaries are meager. But. after all. this is not the reason fer this yaca- ton for mother It is pure thought lessness.
 The dear old lady suffers in st. lence. She wouldn't ask them 10 send her away by herself. She knows il would cost more. and she is SO used 10 being economical. to saving and pihehing, she couldn't think of extra money being spent upon her self
 But oh. next summer. if the girls would only surprise their mother by installing ner for the two weeks in a big. rOomy farmhouse. with great fields all about 1t and great stretches of sky overhead. not the mere pocket handkerchief patches one sees from a city street. What happy mother she would be, How rested and re- freshed would she return for the winters housekeeping,
