strength and cleyerness each against

gradually been substituted by more
modern forms Of amusement, in the
West as the population Of the from
tier has been increased and inter
marriage with those from other and
older sections of the country has
taken place, There still remains in
the virile blood that courses through
the veins Of the real frontiersman,
both old and young, that latent de-
sire for the real "old time" sport,
of almost bygone days. These sports
are, in truth and reality, nothing
more or less than real tests OF
strength and skill. They are In ev-
cry instance simply a staging, for
amusement purposes, of the real
happenings of everyday life as It
transpires each day on the great
ranches Of the West, the feats
daily necessary in the handling of
the extensive cattle industry OF the
plains. Why should not this class
Of sport and amusement be perpetual

noble spirits who, by sacrifice Of
their years Of toll and many lives,

When gray hairs appear it is sign
that Nature needs assistance. It is
Natures call for help. Gray hair, dull
lifeIess hair, or hair that is falling out,
is not necessary a sign of advancing
age, for there are thousands Of elderly
people with perfect heads or hair with

When gray hairs come, or when the
hairs seems to be lifeless or dead,
some good, reliable hair-restoring
treatment should be resorted to at

best preparations to use is the old
fashioned sage tea" which our grand
parents used. The best preparation
of this kind is Wyeth's Sage and Sui

domestic sage and sulphur, scientific

VET MAKES SALAD
OF TOBACCO and
COFFEE
BUYS TWO CIGARS AND PoURs
sTEAMING JAVA OVER THEM,
EATING EVEN THE BANDS.

New York, Dec. 10.-Everyone con-
cerned, except the party of the first
part, has made an affidavit to the truth
of the story of the old man and the
'ten-cent cigars in Jersey City Monday.
He was kindly-faced old gentle
man and wore a Grand Army button
Frank Clark, waiter in the chop house
of Frederick Schmidt, handed him the
menu.
81 think, garcon," said the old gen
tleman at length, bringing to Clark
a flood of memories of those dear,
dear days in Paris, ILL.,, "that | shall
have a sirloin steak, smothered in
onions, cup of coffee and two ten
cent cigars"
Mr.. Clark brought the steak and
later the coffee and cigars. The coffee
was black and so were the cigars.
They had large red gilt bands on them.
The veteran shifted at the cigars, but
did not bite off their ends. The
waiter offered his own private gold
plated cigar clipper, and was rebuffed.
TITS a waste said the old gentle
man, as he put the cigars down in the
middle of his plate, clearing away
gravy and onion remnants with his
fork. Then he lifted his coffee cup,
tasted its contents critically and
poured it over the cigars.
An instant later, while the patron
was waiting for the coffee to soak in,
Clark was at the cashiers desk, tell
ing of the new salad.
Meanwhile the customer peacefully
ate the black ten-cent cigars, smacked
his lips over the black coffee gravy
and sighed with regret when the rec
gilt bands had disappeared.

Amateur theatricals. in which she
gave evidence of talent, turned the
head of the pretty country girl while
she was visiting schoolmate in Chi
cago. Her beauty and poise recon-
mended her to the managers. Much to
the chargin of her parents, she Sc
cured an engagement in a company

1t seemed probable for a time that
Lansing Brown, as she called herself
because Mr.. Rowan so strongly object
ed to her stage career, was to prove
an exception to the rule that society
girls do not make brilliant actresses.
But it soon became apparent that it
was the life of the stage-as seen by
the woman from the conventional
world-that appealed to her. Stage
folk have little patience with the vast
er who expects to lead a gay life and
trade upon dubious reputation and
former social position, and the stage
has no room for idlers.

She would have been buried, from the
pauper ward in New York hospital,
in the Potter's field, If the actors
fund had not been employed to give
her a grave in the actors lot in a
Brooklyn cemetery.
To paraphrase a familiar quotation,
True skill in acting comes from art,
not chance, as those move easier who
have learned to dance"
The stage-struck society girl goes to
the bottom of the toboggan slide,
while others no better equipped are
climbing to the top of the ladder, be-
cause she looks upon the stage as an
immunity bath rather than a work
shop and has the idea that to be an
actress all that one has to do is to
attend rehearsals and accept invita-
lions to midnight suppers.

PRoeREssIvEs WITH WILSON

Progressives-irrespective Of party affiliations-should, in my opinion, support Woodrow Wilson for the pres idency should support him fully. ac-
 lively and enthusiastically; for he possesses in a high degree the quail ties of an effective Progressive leader. Governor Wilson is thoroughly dem cratic in spirit. He recognizes that all of the people are entitled to equal oD- pOrtunities and appreciates that the development of all of the people is essential to the attainment of Ameri- can ideals. He understands the dan gers incident to the control by a few Of our industries and finance. He sees that true democracy and social justice are unattainable unless this power Of the few be curged, and our democracy become industrial as well as political He can meet the de- mands properly made upon present day executive, to be able 10 lead in constructive statemanship as well as to administer efficiently: for Wilson's character, intellectual power, and pre- vious training fit him peculiarly to take an important part in progressive legislation. He is courageous and frank; able and firm and always open. minded; qualities indispensable tr safe l"adersa;J.
 PTogressives should support Wilson .r,t orly in tc'ler to secure hIs clcc. .tCn, but in crdsr to enable him after election to carry out those progress i've policies which he has so much at heart His nomination ranks among the most encouraging events in Amer. ican history. UndFr the masterful and master!y leadership Of Colonel Bryan the ideals of American deH- ocracy triumphed over the reaction aries and their money bags; the will of the people prevailed over the de vices of the machine The Baltimore convention was conducted with fair ness and seriousness and with a dig nifty worthy of a great cause and great people. The democratic parIy has purified itself and has been purged of it's corrupt associations. as far as it is possible to accomplish this end by the action of a national con. yention. But the struggle of privilege is intending and omnipresent, That struggle is as subtle as 1t is deter mined The struggle will not close when Wilson is elected. We may be sure that every effort he may make as president to carry out the progressive policies will meet with stubborn re- sistence from the possessors and apos- ties of privilege. Without loyal sup port from the progressives of the country Wilson's war upon unjust privilege must be futile. The progress i've cause can succeed only if it has loyal support from the progressives. 1t can fail only if the progressiyes fail in their duty Of giving to Wilson that full support-Louis D Brandies. in August National Monthly.
