Use Of Poetry.

We believe that poetry, far from in
Turing society, is one of the great in
struments of its refinement and exalt-
alton. It lifts the mind above ordi-
nary life, gives it respite from de-
pressing cares and awakens the con-
seriousness Of its affinity with what Ia
pure and understanding.

GRANDMOTHER
USED SAGE TEA
TO Darker the Hair and Restore Grav
;; and Faded Hair to Its Ma
-. tural Color.

1t is easier to preserve the color of
the hair than to restore it, although
it is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made a sage tea," and their dark,
glossy hair long after middle life was
due to this fact. Our mothers have
gray hairs before they are fifty, but
they are beginning to appreciate the
wisdom of our grandmothers in u.s.
ing "sage tea" for their hair and are
fast following suit.
The present generation has the ad-
vantage of the past in that it can get
ready-to-use preparation called
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy. AS a scalp tonic and color re-
storer this preparation is vastly SUI
periOr to the ordinary "sage tea"
made by our grandmothers.
The growth and beauty of the hair
depends on healthy condition of the
scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy quickly kills the dan
druff germs which rob the hair of it's
life, color and lustre, makes the scalp
clean and healthy, gives the hair
strength, color and beauty, and makes
it grow.

One on A, F, Potts.

Alfred F. Potts, who has just re- turned from California, enjoys telling the following story on himself: one day I dropped into an architects of- flee in San Diego to inquire about a building matter. The architect was reported out for a few minutes, but a very charming young woman who was his assistant engaged me in conversa- ton while I waited She was very vivacious and attractive. Finally she turned on me with a pleasant smile and said:
 MT. Potts, aren't you going to make San Diego your home?'
 " Pm afraid not I replied. I have so many ties and interests in Indian apolis, you know

NO STOCKS FOR MUGeINS
Was Afraid of Nothing He Could Un- derstand, But ApparItlon Was
 Too Much for Him.

Muggins goes to camp with his folks every summer on the shore of large inland lake, and one of the bulldogs favorite amusements here Is in chas- ing the tiny chipmunks which throng the woods. He never was known to capture one, but this does not in the least dampen his enthusiasm for the pursuit. It is amusing to watch Mug gins hustle one of these tiny creatures up into a big tree and then sit pa tiently at its foot waiting for his prey to come down-which 1t quite often does, but on the opposite side of the trunk, whence 1t scurries away to pas lures new, while poor deluded Mug gins, all unaware of its escape, sits gazing intensely upward in wide-eyed anticipation of his Quarry's reappear- ance.
 Muggins despises water, but one day in his eager rush for a chipmunk he was over the bank before he knew 1t and landed kerf1op on his back with such force as to send him way below the surface. Disgust spoke from every feature of his expressive countenance as he hastily scrambled ashore.
 Once as Muggins' master stood in the boathouse on the lake shore and saw his favorite trotting toward him, a mischievous thought came to him and he prepared to surprise the inno- cent bulldog. Hastily cutting two round holes for his eyes in a big paper four bag, which lay at hand, he pulled it down over his head and shoulders and doubled over so as to look alto geter unnatural. Just as Muggins en- tered the door he sprang forward with a dismal ''boo!" and the dog, who fears nothing on the face of the earth which he can understand, jumped backward, rending the air with series of distracted barks, then tore wildly away on a race for his life, without even backward glance at the awful apparition. He did not stop at camp, but fled into a field far above, where he installed himself in the open and continued his excited barking for over three hours, when he was finally coaxed back to quarters by his re- pentant tormentor.

Then They Hit Up the sIrup.

While on a western tour in connec- tion with certain investigations of the committee on Indian affairs, Senator Carroll E. Page of Vermont happened to get in conversation with a man at Ashland, Wis.
 From Vermont?" chuckled the man. Why, I was born at Swanton, Vt"
 50 was l." said the senator
 My father ran store on Merch- ants row in Swanton."
 So did mine" replied the Vermont senator.
 My father dealt in hides and wool"
 'So did mine," echoed the senator
 My father was a member of the firm of Page, Sanborn & Co.,"
 50 was mine" cried Senator Page, with twinkle in his eye. "Shake!" And they shook heartily.
 In this unexpected way the sons of the old Vermont partners had met after 40 years, and tradition has it that they went off quietly arm in arm for a feast of maple sirup, in memory of childhood days at Swanton in the old Green Mountain state.-Joe Chap ple's Newsletter.

Live Xour | ifA

We sometimes wonder of what use we are, and why we are put on earth. One day is added to another and we seem to be no further advanced on the pathway of our lives. As Mark Twain would have put 1t, we do not appear to be gaining on the scenery. Yet there Is room in the world, and need in the world, for each and every one of us, and, therefore, we must keep on going to the end. Emerson has a poem in which the squirrel talks to the mountain and says::, "If cannot carry forests on my back neither can you crack a nut" You can do some thing nobody else can do, namely, live your life. You have the chance, if you will only take 1t, and I have mine If We can do nothing else we can at least be some ones friend, and there is nothing that the world more keenly wants and sadly needs.-La- dies Home Journal.

The Cat of St. PauI's.

St. Paul's chapel and churchyard, at Broadway and Fulton streets, New York, have variety of utilities. Be sides being a show place of historic interest to the stranger, they give rest and soothing at the noon hour to many a weary worker in the big buildings which surround them. Not the least of their usefulness, however, in the opinion of certain majestic Thomas cat, is that they afford a place wherein he may disport himself. He is an or namental being of rich, golden hue, and he is by no means unaware of his beauty. With stately grace he stalks about the premises, as one who is re- sponsible for their proper upkeep, and gazes haughtily at mere human intru- ders. When satisfied they are suffi- ciently cowed to attempt no damage to his estate he mounts a timeworn sarcophagus and curls himself up for his afternoon nap. His yellow coat, snuggled in a nest of winding ivy, fairly illumines the greenery and against the memorial slabs he presents the combination of gray and gold of which French couturieres are so fond. The verger says Thomas belongs to some tenant in one of the big office buildings, but he is a regular habitue of the churchyard.

Our Smallest Library.

A curious little building is situated at Pinebluff, North Carolina, and is be- lieved to be the smallest public lib rary in the world. Pinebluff is only small place, with a population of fewer than one hundred in summer, and when the ladies of the village de- cided that they ought to have a public library they found themselves with out a building suitable for the pur- pose. Finally, a gentleman offered them a band-stand which he had built in the hope that Pinebluff would soon become a city, and the offer was ac- cepted with thanks. By giving enter tainments and so on, the ladies were able to raise funds to purchase materi- als to fill in the openings of the band stand, and generally fit it up into snug little building. Over 500 books have been given and the tiny library, of which Pinebluff is very proud, is now in full working order.-From the June Wide World.

'eWhat's become of Kimberley"
 Kimberley? I don't remember any such chap"
 "Oh, yes you do. He used to be re- garded as the ablest literary man in this town. Wrote essays, poems, his torical monographs and that sort of thing"
 "Oh, yes, yes. I remember him Algernon Kimberley. Why, he's rich and famous now. The fact that you didn't know all about him was what made me suppose you must be refer ring to some other Kimberley. Yes, Kimberley's struck it rich"
 Indeed? Pm nightly glad to hear that. A very clever chap-beautiful style, nice touch and all that sort of thing. Pm surprised that I have not heard of his success before. But I always had an idea that his greatness would be recognized. What line has he succeeded in? I hope it's poetry. I think he has the true poetic spirit, and his expression is rather original. We need a great poet just at this time"
 Poetry? I should say not. After he had nearly starved writing poetry and essays and historical monographs he went to writing baseball dope and syndicating it. It went great, and understand he's making over $500 a week."
