REAL MASTER OF LANGUAGES
Applicant for Place as Tutor Said He Could Speak Phlately Like
 Native.

Sixty years ago there appeared in the newspapers notice of the disso- lution of scholastic partnership in the neighborhood of London, which was signed by one of the teachers of youth with his mark.
 Disclosures of this sort do not often hit one in the face nowadays but a northern schoolmaster came near to falling a victim to effrontery of a somewhat similar character the other day.
 Being in urgent need of a tutor, he opened up negotiations with a master of languages" whose inval- uable services were on offer in the columns of a London newspaper.
 Could he speak French? the schoolmaster demanded of this par agon. Oh, yes, fuently. Had he a nodding acquaintance with Italiana :? Indeed, he had-was excellently well versed in it, in fact.
 These answers pleased the school master nightly, but he was an en- thusiastic stamp collector, and pre- ferred to have, if possible, a tutor with corresponding tastes; so he tel egraphed the question:
 "Have you uany knowledge of philately?'
 And back came the triumphant answer:
 ''Can speak it like native, sir p
 The negotiations ended abruptly.

AMENITIES OF EXPEplENcY.

Love, like the smallpox, is most dangerous when you take it the nat ural way. Those made matches, which heaven is supposed to have g hand in, when placing an unmarried mans property in the neighborhood of an unmarried woman which des- tine two people or each other in life, because heir well-iudging friends have agreed "Theyll do very well they were made for each other;" these are the mild cases of the malady; this process of friendly vaccination takes out the poison of the disease, substituting more harmless and less exciting affection. -Charles Lever.

SHE DIDN'T KNOW THE JUDGE
Therefore the Buyer of Antiques Ob- tained the Old Fender for
 Half Price.

Eben Googins keeps a small, lit- tered shop on Main street. His mod est sign reads, ''Second Hand Fur niture," instead of the more impos- ing legend, Antiques" but his un- derstanding of the psychology of the antiquary is worthy of wider field.
 "What is the price of this?' asked customer, braced for the conven- tional war of words with pawnbrok- CTS and antique dealers, whom she had grown expert in beating down. But her challenge did not draw the conventional retort from Eben. He fingered the wrought-iron fender she had unearthed from between a mas sive and valueless veneered high-boy and a broken spinning-wheel, and said, with a covert and calculating eye upon her:
 "Did you ever know Judge Allen of Foxcroft?"
 Judge Allen, the great man of a little town, who had inherited a widely famed collection of antique furniture, and had enlarged it gen. erously, was known to the bargain hunter by reputation only.
 "You were not acquainted with the judge? Then the price of the fender is $3."
 "But why?" asked the bargain hunter, wondering whether she was being favored with an example of Yankee humor or Yankee shrewd- ness, and bewildered by this abrupt method of closing a trade.

BLIND POINTS IN MEMORY.

q don't remember" is a frequent answer from the witness box when the sudden question is put. And it is often a question such as any man might be expected to answer olfhand. It would be a very intelligent jury that would understand the man who could not remember where he lunched every day. But there is probably not a iuryman on the lists who could not tell story of his own sudden lapse of memorv-when the name, the date of importance had come under the blind point of mem- ory, just as you turn the head and watch the dot on the paper-misses it. and then regains it.

SAGE TEA WILL
DARKEN THE HAIR

There is nothing new about the idea
OF using sage for restoring the color
of the hair. Our great -grandmothers
kept their locks soft, dark and glossy
by using "sage tea" Whenever
their hair fell out or took
on a dull. faded or streaked appear
ance they made a brew of sage leaves
and applied it to their hair, with WON
derfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort
to time, tiresome methods of gath
ering the herbs and making the tea.
This is done by skilled chemists bet
ter than We could do 1t ourselves, and
all we have to do is to call for the
ready made product, Wyeths Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy, containing
sage in the proper strength, with the
| addition of sulphur, another old-time
scalp remedy.
The manufacturers of this remedy
authorize druggists to sell it under
| guarantee that the money will be re-
funded if it fails to do exactly as rep
| resented.

bottle OF Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur

public at fifty cents a bottle, and il

Hogs Continue Firm.

Although killers are not inclined to
follow the Omaha basis for hogs, the
market here is really firm. Prices
are the highest in the country, but the
price of provisions is still higher.
Counting the Missouri river market as
a basis the price of swine here today
should be 1925 or soc above the
present price. The price of provi-
sions here is based upon the price in
the east plus the freight charges.
Were this not 50, eastern packers
would not be able to enter the local
market at all. At the present time it
is estimated that fully two thirds of
the pork product used on the Pacific
coast comes from east of the Rockies.
