Hair Made Beautiful

Beautiful hair, thick. fluffy. lustrous
and absolutely free from dandrun is
not SO much gift of nature as a mat
ter of care and proper nourishment.
Hair is like a plant-it will not grow
healthy and beautiful unless it has at
tention and proper nutriment.
Partisan Sage. daintily perfumed and
easily applied, tones up and invigor-
ates the roots Of the hair, and furnish
es the necessary nourishment to not
only save and beautify the hair, but
also stimulate it to grow long, heavy,
soft fluffy and radiant with life.
When used frequently and rubbed
into the scalp, it will simply work
wonders Just one application stops
itching head, removes dandruff and
cleanses the hair OF all dust and ex-
cessive oil.
Since Partisan Sage, which can be
obtained from Wortley & French or at
any drug store, never disappoints. it is
no longer necessary for any woman to
be Inundated because OF thin, streaky,
faded, lifeless or unattractive hair.

American Victory In War OF 1872.

American Victory In War OF 1872
One hundred years ago occurred the
battle Of the barges," between force
of English from the blockading squad
ron in Chesapeake bay and q fotilla OF
barges and gunboats designed to aid
in the defense Of the city OF Wash

mand Of the American fotiila, being
threatened with attack by several
large British warships, had taken his
boats up the PatuXent river and found
a refuge in St Leonard's creek The
British followed with a superior force
Of barges and small schooners. Ha7-
ing no guns with which to wage q
fight at long range, Commodore Bar
ney dashed forward into the midst OF
the enemy Soon the barges were en-
gagged in desperate hand-to-hand con
hicts- For more than an hour the &C
ton ragged, both sides fighting With
vigor and gallantry. But the Ameri-
cans having pierced the British line.
the enemy abandoned the fight and
fed precipitately to their ships.

BURIAL PLACE OF KING JOHN
Writer Declares Interment of Famous
English Monarch Took Place
at Worcester.

In the American Law Review there
appeared an article in which the
writer made an aIlusion to King John
of England, and said he went ito his
unlamented rest at St. Wolstan' g !"
Now, is this correct? King John was
buried at Worcester and in the ca
thedral there, and his body has slept
in that spot until now, unless, like q
streak of morning cloud, it has melted
into the infinite azure Of the past. In
1897, for the purpose Of identifying
the resting place of the king and his
remains, a committee Of citizens was
appointed to investigate this matter.
The body was identified and all that
remained of it placed in a new maui
eoleum, where it stands today as one
Of the objects of interest in Worces-
ter cathedral. Shakespeare, in his
king John" puts in the mouth Of
Prince Henry the following words:
AT Worcester must his body be in
TERED, for so he wflled It" Thus we
see King John was buried In Worces-
ter cathedral, and it is therefore mac
curate to say he was buried at st. VOL
STAINS. The memory of King John Is
not cherished with the feeling that has
followed the lives and deaths Of some
Of England's sovereigns. and he will
be remembered only as the monarch
from whom was extorted the great

this country has received a large part
Of it's valued inheritahce.-Letter to

that he would not admit, even to him

their pursuers by day. If the rurales
travelled by landmarks, heading for the
northern passes in an effort to out
ride and intercept him, they might
easily cut him on at the start; but If
! they trailed him-and he devoutly
hoped they would-then they would
have a tangled skein to follow and he

CHAPTER XIV.

Though the times had turned to war,
all nature that morning was at peace,
and they rode through a valley Of flow
ers like knight and lady in a pageant
The rich grass rose knee-deep along
the hillsides. the desert trees were
fiIigreed with the tenderest green and
twined with morning glories. and in
open glades the peoples and sand
verbenas spread forth masses OF blue
and gold.
Already on the mesquit-trees the
mockingIbiTds were singing, and bright
flashes of tropical color showed where
cardinal and yellow-throat passed. The
dew was still untouched upon the
grass, and yet they hurried on, for
some premonftion whispered to them
of evil, and they thought only to gain
the far pass.
Beyond that lay comparative safety.
but no man knew what dangers lurked
between them and that cleft in the
mountains. Del Rey and his rurales
or Bravo and his rebels might be
there. In fact, one or the other prob
ably was there, and If so there would
be a fight, a fight against heavy odds
be greatly increased because he must
protect Gracia.
To the west and north rose the high
and impossible mountain which had
barred their way In the night; across
the valley the hat-topped Fortunes
threw their bulwark against the dawn;
and all behind was broken hills and
gulches, any one of which might give
up armed men. Far ahead, like q
knife-gash between the ridges, lay the
pass to the northern plains, and as
their trail swung out into the open
they put spurs to their horses and
galloped.
Once through that gap. the upper
country would lie before them and
they could pick and choose. Now they
must depend upon speed and the
chance that their way was not blocked
Somewhere In those hills to the east
Bernardo Bravo and his men were
