LAND CREDIT BANK.

Joliet, ILL.,, recently organized the
first financial institution intended to
meet the generally recognized fact
that the American farmer pays high
er rate of interest of his working cap
ital, security considered, than almost
any other borrower in the world.
Abroad in most agricultural communi.
ties there are strong and long organ
lied credit associations which lend the
farmers money at much lower rates
than the American farmers pay.
The associations issue mortgage
bonds against the mortgages and Sc.
cure capital for the business by selling
the bonds to investors. These as.
sociations originated in the days when
organized assistance for the farmer
needing money WAS almost unknown
They have grown up in great numbers
and are very popular both with the
farmers who are able to get needed
money at low rate and with the in
vestors who are able to get fair re
turn on their money and good security
for the capital invested. The foreign
agriculturist has the privilege of re
paying his loan in small amounts, gets
lower rates, and is saved renewal com
missions, etc. The Credit Foncier d.
France is the largest institution of the
sort.
The first American organization o
the kind was incorporated in Joliet il
July. The new company has capita
of $3.50, O00.-Chicago Tribune.

WORKED LIKE MAGIC
RED, SCALY ECZEMA YIELDS TO
SAxO SALVE.

A Highland, N. Y, woman writes:
Since 1901 l suffered from eczema
and my skin was very tender, red
and scaly, and l could find no relief
until I used Saxo Salve. The first
application worked like magic, in less
than a week the scales were gone
and now the skin is healed and
smooth, thanks to Saxo Salve."
In all forms of eczema, and all 9TH
er crusted or scaly humors and erup-
tons. Saxo Salve has given astonish-
ingly good results. The great i'm
provement that it makes in the first
few days shows plainly that you can
place full trust in its curative power.
We have so much confidence in it
that we give back your money if you
are not satisfied with Saxo Salve.-

THE LIVING DEAD.

That an old friend and comrade is
said to have seen and spoken to Cap
tain Smith, who went down with the
ill-starred Titanic, is, we suppose, one
of those strange Authorizations as to
persons long dead being still alive
with which every student of history
is familiar. We find such a belief
underlying many of the folk-tales of
the olden time. Oisin and the Earl
of Wildare are cases in point. At
least two very successful novels have
been built around such a contingency.
But, apart from folklore and fiction,
we find even in comparatively modern
times pertinent illustrations. The
Duke of Monmouth, an illegitimate son
of Charles H., organized an unsuccess-
full instruction against his uncle
James H., and was defeated and taken
prisoner at the battle of Sedgemoor in
1885, He was subsequently beheaded
on Tower Hill in the presence of many
persons who knew him well. Yet fol
more than 20 years afterward the be
lief was all but universal among the
peasantry of Somersetshire ant
throughout the west country tina
Monmouth, as they loved to call him
was still alive and would one day re
turn and lead his followers to victory
For several weeks after the death O
the younger Pitt, in February, 1906
many people were prepared to testif!
on oath that he was still living anC
that they had seen him. TIE delusiol
was in this case probably helped on
by the fact that in one of the Govern
ment offices there was employed
clerk who bore an extraordinary facia
resemblance to the dead statesman.
In our own day there were men VIII
were convinced that they had frequent
ly seen General Gordon in the street
of London long after he had so mis-
erably persisted at Khartoum, To thi
| day, there are hundreds of people il
Ireland with whom it is almost al
article of faith that Parnell, so ia
from being dead, is merely in retire
ment waiting for a favorable oppol
tunity to come back and take the lea
of the famous Parnellite party whicl
he had fashioned into a powerful pc
litical machine. To them the toni
less grave in Glasnevin or the 81
Gaudens monument in the principl
street. of Dublin carries no conviction
They hug the delusion to their heart
and find in it a strange comfort

GRANDMOTHERS
USED sage TEA
To Darken The Hair And Restore
Gray And Faded Hair To Its
Natural 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 using
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
a ready-to-use preparation called Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy
AS a scalp tonic and color restorer this
preparation is vastly superior to the
ordinary sage tea" made by our
grandmothers.
The growth and beauty of the hair
depends on a healthy condition of the
scalp. Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy quickly kills the dandruff
germs which rob the hair of its life,
color and lustre, makes the scalp clean
and healthy, gives the hair strength,
color and beauty, and makes it grow.

MRS. GAGE SANE, SAYS JURY
Women in Court Applaud Widow
Accused by Banker.

Washington. April 22.-Mrs. Mary r..
Gage. the wealthy widow who was arrested
ON March H. charged with threatening the
life of Charles J. Bell. president OF the
American Security Company, and who was
later committed to the government hospital
for the insane was to-day adjudged TO be
az sound mind by jury In the Criminal
Court. The verdict was applauded by fash
iouabIv Cowned women, some Of whom en-
braced the weeping defendant, despite JUS
,fce Barnard's warning that order be main
tanned.
The charge of threatening the banker is
still pending, and it was stated by the po-
lice officials that probably 1t would he
pressed Mrs Gage was not rearrested
when released.
II IS alleged that Mrs Gage threatened
TO kill or horsewhp Mr.. Bell because lie
had placed obstacles in the way of the So
clal advancement of herself and her daugh-
ter Miss Margaret &. Gage, and was re-
sponsible for their being snubbed at a
fashionable church. Mrs. Gage testified that
she had qualified her threats by asserting
that II what she had heard was true she
would take personal revenge on the finan-
cier. She stated that Mrs. Archibald
Oracle. wife OF Colonel Oracle, one Of the
survivors Of the Titanic, had informed her
of Mr.. Bells interference.
Deputy marshals were unable TO locate
Mrs Oracle after she had ignored a sub
ppua to give testimony in rebuttal IL de-
yeloped to-day that Mrs. Harriet S. Doug
las. sister-in-law of Bishop Alfred Harding,
Of the Episcopal Church, had left the city
TO avoid appearing as "a witness against
Mrs. Gage, although Bishop Harding told
the Jury that Information he had given to
Mr.. Bell OF threats made by Mrs. Gage
against the banker 10 Miss Douglas had
resulted in the widows arrest.
Several prominent women testified I'm be-
half Of Mrs. Gage. Robert y. Harper, pres
ident Of the District National Bank; the
Rev. l. Kinney and Father James r. Nc
Kin told the jury they thought she was
sane.
IF this poor woman had only had hig
brother or "A husband near, this case never
would have been brought into court-there
would have been "A Touchdown" argued
Mrs Rclya A. Lockwood, one Of the coun-
sci for Mrs Gage. in her plea to the jury
II was brought ont that Mr.. Bell did not
cause Mrs Cages arrest on the charge
~ lunacv. hut merely appealed for police
protection when he learned that she was
making threats against him.
