Oldest Son to Be Doctor

Meanwhile, it seems, Sir Arthurs eldest son-he has two children by each of his marriages-is planning to follow in his fathers footsteps, at least so far as med icine is concerned. This young man. whose full name is Arthur Kingsley Co., nan Doyle, is now q, and is described by one of his best pals" as a lusty, big fellow, even taller than his father who is keen like his sire, on all kinds of
 games and is generally one of the very best. For three years, now. young Doyle has been studying hard al St. Mary's hos pital, in the Paddington district of the metropolis, and has just passed the ex- ceedingly stiff examination, the second M. S., I believe they call it. which en- titles him to work in the wards. Two years of this must follow however, be- fore he qualities as a physician and sur geon. Doyle, Jr and his distinguished parent are the best of pals, so his chum says and when Arthur Jr., is at home they share all kinds of exercises. includ- ing tennis, running, jumping and throw ing the hammer. at which the budding medico appears to be something of a won der. As yet he has shown no signs of blossoming out as an author, but per- haps, as in his fathers case, that will come later. Meanwhile he and his sister who is keen on music and has composed several exceedingly creditable little things, live together in London, their digs being located in a quiet street in Royal Oak, which is "convaynient' for the brothers hospital work
 One thing is fairly certain, this being that before Sir Arthur starts out for America again, he will see to it that he has at least two dress coats lest an awk- ward contretemps which occurred during his last yiist, and about which he told the members of the Institution of Lee turers at their annual dinner a few nights ago, should befall him again. It led to him being hailed by an exclusive American audience leader of fashion, which he emphatically is not, but he didn't relish it for all that. It was at Morristown, N J., that fashionable town where many New Workers live, and Sir Arthur was mortified to discover that he had left his dress coat behind him.
 In despair he tore the buttons from his blue reefer jacket, tucked the front back, and was pleased to find he passed muster with that.
 Two years later he met lady member of the audience in Egypt, and asked her whether she had noticed his clothes on that occasion.
 "Oh. yes" she said. i've all did. We all thought how fashionable you were. We thought you had brought the latest thing from London, a sort of blue tuxedo jacket

AN OLD RECIPE ID DARKEN HAIR Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray, Faded Hair Dark
 and Glossy

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalr and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was tc make it at home. which is mussy ane troublesome.
 { Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" You will get a large bottle for about 50 cents. Everybody uses this old, famous recipe, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as 1t does it so nat urally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap- plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger.

Meanwhile, it's author who is in Pretoria with the Dominions royal commission has just revisited Jess '' cottage there. made famous in his we'll known South African novel.

An Astounding Tale

Once in while-once in mighty long while-you find one of the stodgy tribe of
 John Bull going one of our alert. nimble- witted race one better. and under identi- | cal circumstances. This phenomena has happened again this week and the hero of 1t is an English versifier, though all we actually know of him so far is the fact that he recently sent to that vitriolic weekly, .'The New Age" some verses which prove to have been written by the
 poet Blake, signed with his own name. Some time ago. you may remember, an American magazine printed and illustrat- ed prettily some verses that had been sent to 1t as original and later discov- cred them to be by Edmund c. Stedmau The outraged editor indited scathing letter to the peccant contributor and pub lished it in his magazine. and there the Incident closed. But see where John Bull
 scores. From the New Age's'' contribu- tor an explanation is forthcoming. His name is Porter, by the way, and it now proves that he dreamed the Blake poem from beginning to end and sent it in in
 good faith, with no recollection of ever
 having read it. Can you beat that? What
 is more. the New Age' stands for this
 artless tale. The edItor,' says a note
 in the present issue, twas away on the
 only holiday he has taken for seven years
 when the poem was submitted. Then who
 was responsible for publishing the verses?
 An, there is the mystery-for one copy
 of the verses was actually returned to
 Mir. Porter with a note to the effect that
 they were Blake's. Now where are we?
 Where indeed? It is fine tale which
 recalls" to the "New Age' editor (now
 back from his holiday ''some phenomena common to all whose dreams are note-
 worthy-the reading in sleep for instance. of books which appear to be strange and only on waking become familiar" And so on and so on. Evidently the enterprise ing Porter has got away with it. but poets
 who dream masterpieces should be warned in future to look up the opening stanza in Bartlett" and make sure that it isn't by Shakespeare or Milton. not to mention Blake.

Soused But Scintillant

Here is a story that some OF the
house members tell regarding su-
perior court justice OF Tennessee.
During a Democratic state conven-
ton at Nashville, q judge who had
imbibed too freely OF the famous Lin
coin county brand, took the floor and
attempted to argue the questions en-
bodied In the temporary organiza-
ton.
AS matter OF course, his logic
was befuddled, and one Of his friends,
not wishing to see him make q fool
OF himself. said to him in a loud whis-
per: "Sit down, Judge. You don't
know the difference between temper
airy and permanent--you're drunk
With some difficulty his honor
steadied himself, and with mocking
derision replied: !.
"Yesh, I'm drunk. thash temporary;
you're a blank fool. thash perma-
nent."
