The FIRST GRAY
HAIR SIGN OF AGE.
Easy Way to Preserve Natural Color
Of the Hair and Make It Grow.

A harmless remedy, made from
common garden sage, quickly restores
gray hair to natusak color. The care
of the hair, to prevent it from losing
it's color and lustre, is just as i'm
portant as to care for teeth to keep
them from discoloring. Why spend
money for cosmetics and creams to
improve the complexion, and yet neg
lect your hair, when gray hair is
even more conspicuous and sugges-
tive of age than wrinkles or a poor
complexion? Of the two, it is easier
to preserve the natural color and
beauty of the hair than it is to have
a good complexion.
All that is necessary is the occa-
sional use of Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy, a preparation of
common garden Sage and Sulphur,
combined with other valuable rene
dies for dry, harsh, faded hair. After
a few applications of this simple
harmless remedy your hair will grad
ually be restored to it's natural color,
in a short time the dandruff will be
removed, and your hair will no long
er come out but will start to grow as
Nature intended it should.
Don't neglect your hair, for it goes
further than anything else to make
or mar your good looks. You can
buy this remedy at any drug store
for fifty cents a bottle, and your
druggist will give your money back
if you are not satisfied after using.
Purchase bottle today. You will
never regret it when you realize the
difference it will make in your ap-
pearance.

Der of things about New York which
he compares with the same things in
Chicago-much to the disadvantage
of New. York. One that chiefly irri-
tates him is the Office boy habit here,
the Cincinnati Times-Star's New York
correspondent writes. Gerald Jones
enters the office of friend of his A
small, cynical boy meets him at the
mahogany rail. Mr.. Jones declares
that he wishes to see his old college
pal, P. Norval Smith. The small boy
demands card, and hands him a
blank form. write here what you
want to see him about" says the
small boy. ......
Mr.. Jones protests. What he wants
to see Smith about is something that
he does not propose to cont1de to any
small boy in the world-especially to
a small boy toward whom he feels a
sentiment perilously approaching hate.
He waves his hand. He directs the
small boy in lordly way to take his
name and be quick about it, and never
mind the card. "Just say Jerry Jones
Is here" he says to the small boy.
The small boy puts back the hunk
of gum and sits down on his slippery
little bench and indicates with an air
of finality that there will be nothing
doing until he gets the card he asked
for and the. full history of Mr.. jones'
recent past. If Mr.. Jones gets in to
see P. Norval Smith it is only by as
senting to the terms made by the
small boy. Therefore, Mr.. Jones has
had a fresh set of cards printed for
use upon the office boys of his friends.

Continued from Saturday,

Our proceedings of that first morn
Ing did little to advance the investiga.
ton: It was marked, however. at the
outset by an incident which left the
most sinister impression upon my
mind. The approach to the spot at
which the tragedy occurred is down
a narrow, winding country lane While
we made our way along it we heard
the rattle of a carriage coming to-
wards us, and stood aside to let it
pass. AS it drove by us caught a
glimpse through the closed window of
a horribly-contorted, grinning face
glaring out at us. Those staring eyes
and crashing teeth flashed past us
like dreadful vision.

Tregennis, white to his lips. "They
are taking them to Helston.'
We looked with horror after the
black carriage, numbering it's way.
Then we turned our steps towards
this ill-omened house in which they
had met their strange fate. -
1t was large and bright dwelling,
rather villa than cottage, with a
considerable garden which was al.
ready, in that Cornish air, well filled
with spring flowers. Towards this
garden the window of the sitting:room
fronted, and from 1t, according to
Mortimer Tregennis, must have come
that thing of evil which had by sheer
horror in single instant blasted
their minds. Holmes walked slowly
and thoughtfully among the flower
pots and along the path before we en-
tered the porch. So absorbed was he

looked after the wants of the family.
She readily answered all Holmes
questions. She had heard nothing in
the night. Her employers had all
been in excellent spirits lately, and
she had never known them more
cheerful and prosperous. She had

room in the morning and seeing that

Starting the Tenth Year.

"The Pioneer, looking to the best

and more particularly to the upbuild,.
ing of Bemidji and Beltrami county
and after a careful survey of the sit
uation has considered the time ripe
for establishing an afternoon daily.
"Launching the Daily Pioneer, we
owe our readers an explanation. Bel
trami county, and in fact, this whole
northern country, has enjoyed a phe
nominal growth and it will be no
shortlived boom. We have every ad-
vantage here and northern Minneso-

porous section in the country. 1t has
always been the endeavor of the Pho
neer to keep abreast of the times, but
we find our weekly facilities made

have decided to issue a paper every
afternoon.
eve propose to make the Daily
Pioneer win-to publish a snappy, up
to date afternoon daily. To publish
the newsstand all the news -and to
put in our best ticks for Bemidji and

The above editorial is the first ever
printed in the Bemidji Daily Pioneer
and appeared in the first issue, nine
years ago today. In starting the
tenth year, the publishers of the Pho

looking to the best interests of the
people of this section and more par
ticularly the upbuilding of Bemidji

This northern country has not on

is growing now and the end is not
yet in sight. It is prosperous new

We assembled the stairs and viewed

surface. The chairs had been moved
back against the walls, but all else
was as it had been the night before.
Holmes paced with light. swift steps
about the room; he sat in the various
chairs, drawing them up and recon-
structing their positions. He tested
how much of the garden was visible;
he examined the floor, the ceiling, and.
the fireplace; but never once did I see
