HAD TO EAT HIS PARTNER
osorss cohan's Story Of Actor Who
Had to Walt Too Long for
engagement

George M. Conan, at an after-thsster
supper at Delmonico's, was talking
about the turkey trot."
There's a moving little story about
the turkey trot.'" he said, with his
dreamy smile, "a story that illustrates
well the vicissitudes OF an actors
life.
AN elderly actor said in despair to
a theatrical agent n day:
"Is there nothing you can do for
ME? I've hung around your Office, out
of work, for eight months now
The agent, as he polished his dia-
mond ring with his red silk handker.
chief. answered thoughtfully:
LOOK here. Bring yourself up to
date. The turkey trot" Is all the go.
You train some animal Or bird to do
the turkey trot" with you, and I'll get
you on one OF the circuits at a three.
figure salary"
The old actor thanked the agent
gratefully. He bought an ostrich from
. retired oirous man, and after a lot
Of hard work he taught the bird to
turkey trot' with him s~plendidly
Then he reported himself to the agent
again.
But tho agent. for all his promises,
had nothing to offer. The poor fellow
turned up every day for 4 while, then
every other day. then every third day
and at last 4 week went by without
his appearance at the agents once.
Then the agent sent for him, and
said:
We'll I've fixed you up ut last,

But the old actor interrupted, sad,
ly,
Its too late now he said.
""Too later How Ia 1t too later

ALL WINTER ABOARD WRECK
How Two PIuoky Newfoundland Fish
ermen Rescued a DersIlct Schooner
From an lcs-Floe.

In winning salvage the Newfound-
landers do not seem to reflect upon
the length Of hardship and peril to
which they must go. This Is charac-
t~eristic of their lives in every respect;
it Is a proverb with them hat they
go when they can, and leave getting
back ito luck and good conduct" Not
long ago an American fishing schooner,
abandoned by her crew in the Strait
Of Belle Isle In early winter as hope
lessly lost, was carried off In the Ice
foe. 1t was the slimmest chance in
the world that the derelict would ever
be seen again. There WAS not tho
slightest expectation, indeed, that she
would be; the underwriters paid the
insurance settlement without com
plant or question, and crossed the
schooner of for lost. But the schooner
was not lost. She was sighted In her
wanderings by two fishermen. They
boarded from shore, found her hard

loosen its grip on the schooner-nor
would the fishermen, They might from
time to time have escaped ashore; 1t
would have been the part OF wisdom,
perhaps, and certainly the part OF eau
ton, to do SO; but rather than abandon
their salvage those two cheerfully
reckless fellows stuck to the ship for
the rest OF hat bitter winter. When
navigation opened In the spring OF the
year, the first mail steamer sighted the
craft, still fast in the Ice and manned
by two gsunt skeletons. They had

YOUR GRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
A Harmless Remedy, Made from
Garden Sage, Restores Color
to Gray Hair.

A feeling of sadness accompanies
the discovery of the first gray hairs
which unfortunately are looked upon
as heralds OF advancing age. Gray
hair, however handsome it may be,
makes a person look old. We all
know the advantages of being young.
Aside from the good impression a
youthful appearance makes on others,
simply knowing that you are look
ing fit" gives one courage to under
take and accomplish things. So why
suffer the handicap Of looking cid on
account of gray hair when a sim
pie remedy will give your hair youth
full and color and beauty in a few
days time?
Most people know that common
garden sage acts as a color restorer
and scalp tonic as well. Our grand
mothers used a Sage Tea" for keep
ing their hair dark, soft and Iuxurt-
ant. In Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy we have an ideal prep
aration OF Sage, combined with Sui
phur and other valuable remedies
for dandruf, itching scalp and thin,
weak hair hat is split at the ends or
constantly coming out. A few appli-
cations OF this valuable remedy will
bring back the color, and in q short
time It will remove every trace Of
dandruf and greatly improve the
growth and appearance of the hair.

druggist today. and notice the DIFF
ference In your hair after = few days
treatment. All druggists sell It. I'M

Are the Statements of Perth AmboS
Citizens Not More Reliable Than

This Is a vital question.
1t is fraught with interest to

1t permits of only one answer.
1t cannot be evaded or ignored.
A Perth Amboy citizen speaks

Speaks for the welfare of Perth

A citizens statement Is reliable.
An utter strangers doubtful.
