SLEDS USED IN THE YUKON
Not Constructed Along Lines Of Beau,
ty, but for Hard Work They
Arc Perfection.

The Yukon sled, while not a thing
OF beauty, is built to stand all kinds
OF hard wear, or, as the Irishman
said, 1T will last forever, and after
that can be used for firewood." The
sled is about eight feet long, is made
of any kind of hard wood, lies close
to the ground, costs from SO. to $14,
and makes a trail sixteen inches in
width. Another pattern Is known az
the basket sleigh, and 1t is to the
Yukon sleigh what a three-masted
schooner is to coal barge. In length
1t Is from eight to fifteen feet, is made
of birch, oak or hickory, cuts trail
twenty-five inches in width, costs from
$40 to 5000, is raised a foot or more
from the runners, and, in the best ex,
amples. Is dashed together with raw.
hide. The basket sleigh, as its name
implies, Is fitted with basket, into
which the load is placed, and from
the back of the basket a pair OF
handles project, to be used In guiding
the sled on the trail. It often hap,
pens that Yukon sled will be fitted
with a homemade basket, in imitation
OF Its more aristocratic brother. In
very cold weather wooden runners are
best, but In ordinary circumstances
steel or brass runners are used.-

"GALLERY GOD" SPOILED IT
Why Maurice Barrymore Conceived
Dislike for His "Heart Of Mary.
land" Part.

All the good stories which the late
Maurice Barrymore, father of Ethel,
Lionel and John Barrymore, told on
himself never have been published and
probably never will be. Barrymore was
In Kansas City just prior to his final
collapse and here is a story he told:
Barrymore was Mrs. Leslie Carter's
leading support when that celebrated
actress appeared In Belasco's produc-
ton Of 1.-THE Heart of Maryland" In
the big third act Barrymore, the hero,
was in the hands of the designing vii
lain, who had caught him off guard.
Two rockies bound Barrymore's hands
and the villain, left alone with his
prey, tainted the hero. It was
Barrymore's "business'' to squirm and
to wall.
"Oh, If my hands were Free" he
would repeat several times, as he
tried vainly to break the rope which
held him fast. The villain would ap.
proach and snap his fingers right un.
der Barrymore's nose.
Loosen my hands, you devil!"
Barrymore would exclaim.
One night at this great and exciting
moment in tho scene Barrymore had
just finished his dare to the villain to
loosen his hands when the traditional
gallery god yelled out in sharp, clear
voice:
why don't you kick him in tho
shins, Barry; your feet amt tied"
Barrymore cursed the part from that
moment until his dying day.

YOUR CRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
a Harmless Remedy, Made From Gar
den 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 appearancesmakes on others,
simply knowing that you are Cooking
fit" gives one courage to undertake
and accomplish things. So why suf-
fer the handicap of looking old on ac-
count of gray hairs, when a simple
remedy will give your hair youthful
color and beauty in few days time?
Most people know that common
garden sage acts as color restorer
and scalp tonic as we'll. Our grand
mothers used "Sage Tea" for keep
ing their hair dark, soft and luxur-
liant. In Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy we have an ideal prepa-
ration OF sage, cOmDlned with sui
phur and other valuable remedies for
dandruff, itching scalp and thin, weak
hair that is split at the ends or con-
stantly coming out. A few applica-
lions of this valuable remedy will
bring back the color, and in short
time it will remove every trace of
dandruff and greatly improve the
growth and appearance of the hair.
Get fifty cent bottle from your
druggist today, and notice the differ
ence in your hair after few days
treatment. All druggists sell it, un-
der guarantee that the money will be
refunded if the remedy is not exactly
as represented. ri.

Lecturing Business Men.

Our business men have been able
to do all this without Mr.. Wilson'S
guidance and in spite of his poor
opinion of them it is just possible
that under the guidance of college
professors these Ignorant and
provincial" business men of ours
might not have accomplished as
much for themselves and their
country as they did when left to
their own resources.
Mr.. Wilson's dogmatic and d.
dactic declarations have all the
positiveness of the pedagogue who
has theories on everything and ex-
perience in nothing. His is the Gus
tomary attitude of the college pro-
fessor who knows everything, hav-
ing read it in books, where it was
written down by other college pro-
fessors with equally infallihle
knowledge based on equally uni
Versal ineXperience.
1t is an interesting thing to see A
college professor lecturing practi-
cal business men on the practical
problems of business from the
musty rooms of one of the colleges
which the practical success Of these
business men had enabled them TO
endow.
1t must also he an interesting
thing to Englishmen to note that
America is considering the advis-
ability Of embarking on a free trade
policy, which England is consider
ing the advisability of abandonins
This paradoxical situation Is due
to the fact that England has had N
her sorrow some experience with
free trade policy, while American
statesmen are educated in the books
of theoretical English economists
which were written before the free
trade theory had opportunity oil
practical experiment and refuta-
ton.
do not wonder that English
men are interested in this phase OF
American politics, but | think thar
the sound sense of American oiu-
zens will prevent any foreign coun-
try being unduly benefited Al our
expense by the hasty application 10Y
the undigested theories Of some ''
ON Wen meaning but inexperienced
statesmen

tries: we will lower our bars n
your products if you will lowsr
your bars to our products" But +,
we have no tariff fences. we can
make no such beneficial bargain
Mr. Wilson must not be like the
dog in Aesop's fables who let IN
the bone that he actually had in
order to grasp at the reflection in
the water. If we sacrifice any adj
vantage that we actually have We
must be sure that we are going to
get corresponding advantage In
return, and If we should sacrifice
injudiciously our protective policy.
we should find our markets open to
the products of all the nations Of
the world and their markets still
closed to the products OF our own
nation.
Mr. Wilson also disapproves ~
American business men and consid-
ers them ignorant" and "provin-
cial" ! am almost disposed trrita
bly, to contradict this statement Of
Mr.. Wilson.
American business men are the
greatest business men in the world
and have made America the great
est business nation in the world.
They are accommodating In America
the wealth of the world, and they
are employing their wealth in a
way which eXcites the admiration
of the world.
Some of our business men like
Rockefeller. are endowing universe
ties for the advancement Of learn
ing and supporting institutions of
medical and surgical experiment
for the benefit of our own people
and of all mankind.
Others of our business men. Tx.
Carnegie, are endowing libraries for
the dissemination of universal
knowledge and maintaining observ-
atories and other scientific estab-
ishments for the extension of SCI
entific research and the develop
ment of scientific pursuits.
Others again. like Morgan, are
assembling in America the art and
library treasures of the world for
the development of our tastes and
perceptions and for the higher cul-
ture of our people in the refine
ments and intellectual enjoyments
of life.
