Among witty women of the modern
stage, pride OF pace should really be
given to Mrs. Kendall, and it was de-
lighted audience which once listened
to some OF the aphorisms contained In
a lecture which she delivered some
time ago, entitled Rambling Roses"
1--WE hear a lot about kisses" she
said. ITO steal kiss. is natural To
buy one is stupid. To kiss sister is
proper. To kiss ones wife is obliga-
tory. To kiss an ugly woman Is gal
lantry. To kiss an old, faded woman
is devotion To kiss young blushing
girl is-quite different thing. To kiss
ones rich aunt is hypocrisy. Kissing
three girls on the same day is extrava-
gance. To kiss ones mother-in-'aw is
a holy sacrifice.

DARKEN GRAY HAIR.
LOOK Y0U.sG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Oarkens %
Naturally that Nobody
can tell.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray; also ends dandruff, itch
ing scalp and stops falling hair.
Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make 1t at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
by asking at any drug
store for "wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" you will get large
bottle OF this famous old recipe for
about so cents.
Don't stay gray. Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. as it does it SO naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an.
other application or two. your hair
becomes beautifully dark. thick and
glossy.

LET NO GUILTY FLY ESCAPE.

W. 69$%T6s
The national movement for the ex-
termination OF the fly is no idle en-
terprise. 1t may take years to reach
anything like compleet success, but
it is progressing with great hopeful
ness. 1t is one of the most practical
in late years, and We have promoted
a good many. It's extreme sanity
rests on the fact that it seeks to Geal
with causes more than effects, to pre-
vent rather than remedy. And that
is the only effectual method OF pro-
CT dure against the fly, says the
Omaha Bee.
It will be but a few days now till
this noxious foe to health and comforl
swoops down upon US. On the theory
that the early bird catches the worm.
let everybody have his swatter ready
forthe early fly and see that none
escapes. One method OF defense is to
have screens in good repair and up
before the fly arrives But that is
not fundamental: that Is dealing with
effects. The better way is TO rid the
premises OF all substance-trash or
what not-tfat tends 20 draw flies.
That is dealing with causes.
There are countries where flies are
unknown. Ours can be MADE such.
1t is the duty Of every person to Co.
operate toward making 1t such-a
duty the benefits Of which all share
in.

sifters
OF merit and poor peoples deeds,
Went down to the sIums to regener-
ate buns
And to do meritorious deeds.
We washed them. we dressed them,
with libraries blessed them,
We prayed with those ignorant MODS,
And the wretches were hateful,
and Wiley ungrateful,
And said what they wanted was
jobs,
Our noble committee then searched
thru the city
To find all the fallen and lost.
We learned how they came to be liv-
ing in shame
This mind you at no little cost.
We swamped them with tracts and
statistical facts,
But the creatures were terribly
rude:
They acknowledged twas nice to be
free from all vice,
But they said what they wanted
was food!
They're just as God made them-it's
useless to aid them,
The brutes who do not ask for re-
form;
Intellectual feasts are all wasted On
beasts
Who want to be fed and kept
warm.
Let them keep their allotted position,
besotted
And blind! When you bid them
advance

classes
Win say all they want is a chance,

DEAFNESS cAssor BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by

arrogant wisdom in advising the city
not wise enough to have properly
adjusted this account and arrive at
true balance. The city evidently
having had its accounts in incompe-

!, reliably informed that one of the
committee stated that it was not his
purpose to credit the account with
certificates returned.
Further Information is to the eft
feet that within the past month tax
receipts have been energetically
sought and are now part of is
report, although it was closed Feb
ruary 13, OF this year. Eyidencing
the same ignorance and inaccuracy
is the absence from the report of
any receipts which We're not actually
delivered; for instance, C. L. Sis
trunk is charged with receipt to C.
d. Massey for $3.50 upon wrong,
land. The receipt was returned and
Mr. Massey refunded this amount,
yet this auditing committee, in all of
its usual assumed accuracy, has fail
ed to credit the same or any part of
it. The writer should have been
furnished a copy of the report and
given an opportunity to Investigate
its errors to the extent that informa-
ton in his possession would have at
forded, as it is well known that he
had qualified as administrator of the
late city attorney. Had this been
done this unjust and imperfect re-
port would not have been published,
nor this letter have been called for

which has been cast upon my

be very little Indebtedness and no
necessity for the city council to with
hold funds due him. They owe his

vices and are thereby prohibiting or
making it impossible for me to pay
his debts.
If this New York Auditing Com
pany that has been paid near 81 200
for their services had been little
more careful in properly auditing
the accounts and giving rightful
credits and keeping within the
bounds of their duty less injustice
would come nearer getting value re-
