Once Acquire a Title
And You II Always Have 1t.

Walter Taylor, the newspaper man
who prefers to be city clerk, says that
the love of titles is strange thing,
somewhat like new styles in clothes.
He says that a man first SHES at
title, but when he becomes accustomed
to it he loves it as though it really
meant something
who would think of John 5. Cohen,
or Jack, as he is known to his init
mates without remembering that he is
major?" he said. Yet, | can re-
member when the appellatiOn really
embarras sed the major.
He won that title in the Spanish
American war, but when peace was de-
clared he returned to the humble duties
Of newspaper work. We knew he had
been a real soldier and we were deter
mined that his glory should not fade.
SO we started the office boys to calling
him Major Cohen.
He ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS protested.
But the title fit so well that before he
realized it all of his friends had at
tached the title permanently to him

Simple Way to
Darker Gray Hair
You Can Prepare a Mixture at
Home That Does It Nicely.

IL every person knew what q sim
pie matter it is to darken their gray
hair, this sign Of advancing years
would be a rarity. The ordinary dye
or stain is not at all satisfactory and
is easily detected, leaving the hair
sticky, rubs Off or colors the scalp
but this simple recipe, which you
can make up at home at little cost,
overcomes all these objections and
is certain to give splendid satisfac-
ton. To 7 ozs. Of water add one
small box Of Barbo Compound, l or
of bay rum and IA or. of glycerine
This makes a mixture that grad
ually darkens the hair or beard to a
rich, glossy brown, removes dan
druff and other ills Of the scalp and
promotes the growth of the hair
Apply once a week and when it Is
sufficiently darkened use once every
two weeks. Be sure your druggist
doesn't give you a substitute for
BarbO Compound. II he is out Of 1t,
he should order it for you from his
wholesaler You will find If you try
this excellent formula that there is
nothing that can take it's place.

A Manicure Lady, A Man
Another Man.

Low brows and high. give ear and bark
en- to the sad story Of the Manicure Girl,
the Barber Boy and the Foolish Man. It
is a true story, and it happened only the
other day in a downtown Atlanta barber
shop so near the big traffic that the scare
of the razor easily is drowned by the roar
of the trucks.
No man is a hero to the manicure girl
in a barber shop. Some men think they
are. but then they don't see their own
Adams apple bobbing gawlily up and
down through the collarless front of their
shirts.
This Foolish Man, particularly, was i'm
pressed with his heroic qualities and man
ly charm, and When the Manicure Girl
smilingly asked him II he would be
trimmed, without question he accepted the
smile as tribute
He would be manicured, and the lady
sat by him as he was shaved. Then began
the little story.
When the Barber Boy would let him, he
slid his head sideways and looked at the
Manicure Girl once he caught the eye Of
the pretty creature and smiled at her
Then. holder growing, he gave the active
fingers which clutched his own a bit of
squeeze. Then another not so Vice. when
he found that nothing happened Then he
was moved to remark something oh, just
a little something to be conversational
a jerk from the Barber Boy brought his
head UP sharply The razor slid smooth
ly over his chin for a moment, and then
lowered tenderly over the spot where the
physiology tells you the jugular vein runs.
There was a sinister caress in the razor S
touch as the Barber Boy fingered it.
THAT is my wife" he remarked, in a
| casual by-the-way sort of voice.
The Foolish Man gulped, and the razor
slid over his fiuttering throat.

Up and Down
Pedchtree
Golden Opportunity
The City Missed.

That little triangle bounded by
Peachtree, Pryor and Houston streets,
which is said to be too precious for
money to buy, has stretched itself and
now embodies in name at least, the three
sidewalks that bound the Peck building.
Marble slabs have been imbedded in
the sidewalks with this announcements;
This is the property Of the estate OF
j. G. Peck"
City officials expect some lively court
action over this matter. But there -
not yet any interference for pedestrians
who wish to pass that way. The an
uouncement on the marble slabs has
brought forth this wall from a well
known citizen, however:
That whole triangle was offered TO
the city for 500 for park purposes only
about fifteen years ago

KIDNEY AND BLADDER
TROUBLES DISAPPEAR
Chronic Sufferers Find Relief
After Few Doses of Croxone

If you are bothered with backache-or
rheumatism. have disagreeable, annoying
bladder or urinary disorders to contend
wfth-o- suffer with any other of the
many miseries that come from weak kid
neys. here is a guaranteed remedy you
can depend upon.
1t is a positive fact that Croxone
promptly overcomes such diseases
1t soaks right in and cleans out the
stopped up kidneys and makes them
filter and sift out the poisonous waste
matter from the blood. 1t neutralizes and
dissolves the uric acid that lodges in the
joints and muscles, causing rheumatism;
soothes and heals the delicate Innings of
the bladder
More than a few doses of Croxone are
seldom required to relieve even the
obstinate, long standing cases.
You will find Croxone entirely different
from all other remedies. 1t is so prepared
that it is practically impossible to take it
without results. An original package costs
but trifle, and your druggist is author
lied to return the purchase price if Crox-
one fails to give the desired results the
very first time.-Adv.

At the Novelty.

Rip-roaring tabloid of the widest
sort at the Novelty. The usual first
night audience of rah-rah boys en-
loved it, nevertheless. The comedy is
so noisy that pedestrians within half
a block hasten to the corner of
Eighth and Quincy. Utmost confu-
sion reigns at the end of the first act.
1t is announced that the hero, being
guilty of Digamy, shall go to the
criminal court Whereupon his
friends burst into wild shouts and rag
madIy about the stage as the curtain
falls.
s'rhe Red Bird revolves about the
trials of a clergyman, who, during u
trip to San Francisco, becomes indis-
Greet and attends cabaret Ensuing
complications force him to claim his
cousin as his wife and his wife as his
sister Jack Cassin, as Rev. Charles

good musical number in the piece, is

plauded Miss Mae Taylor has the

interpolates a vocal selection between
the two acts of the play. Elaine
Arndt, as the cousin, is fair. Jose
Leo, as the belligerent deacon, scores
a hit with his What a Funny Old
World This Is" The chorus is poor.

oInclal today to the S. J. man who

summer and people would like to know
| how much liquor was shipped into the
city and county Get the per capita
number of quarts of liquor the people

months
so the ). j. man went at it. Under
the Mahln law all transportation COM
/ panles making interstate shipments Of

! ty' clerks of the counti~- to Which the
| liquor shipped
| The S. J. man told Oscar Swayze,
county clerk, what he wanted. In fact
he had to tell him three times, and
then the county officer did not appear
to believe what he heard, but led
the S. j. man into a large vault with
tier upon tier of filing cases running
from the floor to the ceiling, and with
a wave of the hand like pointing out
vast expanse of mountain scenery he
remarked. There they are, go to it. !"
But how many quarts of beer. wine
and whisky Topeka people have con-
sumed since May 1, will never be
known, if it is left up to the s. J. man
to find out. There is not tape enough
in the county to feed the adding ma
chimes that would be necessary.
As an example, the report for sixteen
days during August, from one of the
four railroads and several express COM
panies doing business here makes a
book two inches thick, md the pages
are closely typewriter.
And there is no way of running
through a part of the report and esti-
mating the rest, for one page may hap
pen to have only shipments of small
amounts, and the next may show de-
liveries in barrel lots of lots of barrels.
In some reports the quantities are re-
duced to quarts and in others cases or
barrels are the units of meas sure.
So how much liquor Topeka consumes
in month or a summer will probably
never be known, for the simple reason
that it exceeds compilation.
