MITCHELL QUITS
The MAIL SERVICE
Rock Islander Resigns After 80
Years as Railroad Postal
Clerk.
TRAVELS 1000, 900 MILES
Duties Becoming Too Arduous and
He Retires to Private Life
Veteran of Civil War.

Having rounded out his 30th year
in the service Of the United States
government as mail clerk operating
on the Rock Island-St. Louis division
OF the Burlington railroad, William NJ.
Mitchell of the Payne fats today sew
cred his connections TO retire to the
quiet of private life. His resignation
went in 10 the government authorities
May because Of the fact that the du-
ties of the position were becoming
too arduous and exacting in their ma
ture. Today Mr.. Mitchell finished his
years Of faithful service by checking
in TO the local postal officials. An in
teresting calculation of the retired mail
clerk is that during his three decades
of service he has travelled something
like two million miles.
BROTHER IN SERVICE 81 YEARS.
The late George L. Mitchell, broth
er of William NJ. Mitchell, served So
years in a similar capacity, his service
only ending at the time Of his death.
Both OF the Mitchells served during
the Civil war. Unlike the great cor
porations included within its borders,
the United States does not pension the
men who have served after a certain
period of years, and despite his ser
vice, Mr.. Mitchell's name is stricken
entirely from the government pay roll
today.

DQG, 7 PULL OUT
The GRAY HAIRS
A Few Applications Of a Simple
Remedy viii Bring Back
the Natural Color
sPull out one Rray hair and q dozen

'Pull out one gray hair and dozen
will take its place" is an old saying,
which is. 10 a great extent, true, IL no
steps are taken TO stop the cause. When
gray hairs appear il is a sign that Ma
ture needs assistance. 1t is Natures
call for help. Gray hair, dull, hfeless
hair, or hair that IS falling out, is not
necessarily a sign of advancing age, for
there are thousands of elderly people
with perfect heads Of hair without a
single streak Of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when the
hair seems 20 be lifeless or dead, some
good, reliable hair-restoring treatment
should be resorted to at once. Special
lists say that one Of the best prepare
tons to use is the old-fashioned 'sage
tea" which our grandparents used. The
best preparation Of this kind is Wyeth'
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, prep,
aration of domestic sage and sulphur,
scientifically compounded with later dis.
covered hair tonics and stimulants, the
whole mixture being carefully balanced
and tested by experts.
Wyeth' Sage and Sulphur is clean anC
wholesome and perfectly harmless. i
refreshes dry, parched hair, removes
dandruff and gradually restores fadet
or gray hair 10 its natural color.
Don't delay another minute. Star
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur a
once and see what q difference few
days treatment will make in your hair
This preparation is offered TO tn,
public at fifty cents q bottle, and j
recommended and sold by all druggists

AmuSementS
AT THE PRINCESS.

AT THE PRlNCEoS.
 One of the most remarkable met dents of canine intelligence that has come to light in this city took place yesterday afternoon, a few m~7utes after the matinee at the Princess lheater.
 On the bill t1sre the s.rst three days there is the Careno Trio. and very intelligent dogs is the third member of this act. It's master and mistress had concluded their very clever act at the Princess and Lad gone to a nearby restaurant for a light lunclh as a prelude to the sup per to follow couple of hours lae- CT. MT. and Mrs. Careno had par taken of what they ordered and the former reached n hls pocket for his purse. The pocket was empty. Think ing that perhaps he had slipped the money into one of his other pockets he searched those thoroughly with the same results Lit was not there
 "Did you leave it at the theater asked Mrs. Careno.
 q guess I must have done that very same thing" he replied.
 Send Prince over after it'', adyis- ed his wife.
 You're not going to send that dog after your purse I hope.0 ex- claimed an astonished waiter,
 Certainly! Why not 7. asked ar. Careno. Calling Prince to his side he said
 "Prince. I left my purse over in the dressing room of the theater. You You will find it either in the top tray of the trunk, which is open, or on the shelf Go get 1t s.ld bring 1t to iile, and be quick about t, Prince .
 With a loud and merry bark the dog was off Stage hands at the Princess state that tho dog parked and scratched at the back door ot the theater until they let him in and, once inside, tore down the stairs to the dressing room. The door was locked. Up on the stage the dog came, grabbed 'he stage manager by the leg of his trousers and literally pulled him eown stairs to the door of the room where his master and mistress dress. The stage manager opened the dcor and Prince was into the trrnx, the lid of which was threw back. With his nose he tossed bact the tray lid of the tray and there in one of the compartments wag , wallet filled with bilis Prince seizet it and was off like shot. In a few minutes he was back at the restau rant
