SAGE TEA DARKENS HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an Old Time Recipe that Anybody can
 Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to it's nat ural color dates back to grandmoth- CTS time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull. faded or streaked appearance, this simple mix ture was applied with wonderful ef- feet.
 But brewing at home is mussy and cut -of-d date. Nowadays. by asking at any drug store for 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get this famous old recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry. feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair.
 A well-knoWn downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it be- comes beautifully dark. glossy, soft and abundant.-(Adve

TRIAL OF HOLMES

The most complicated murder trial of any that has thus far been held in the United States was that of Herman Mudgetts, who had adopted the assumed name of H. H. Holmes. The first that was heard of this famous convict was when he was ar rested, on November 19, 1894. to- gether with Mrs. Carrie Pitezel and Jepthah D. Howe, for participating :n fraudulent life insurance scheme.
 The apprehension was the start of a revelation of illegitimate schemes in which he had figured in many parts of the country. Once an in vestigatiOn was started cities in many sections of the Unitetd States in which Holmes had lived, began looking up his records and tried to fix a number of crimes of various character upon him.
 The house which Holmes occupied in Philadelphia was located on Cal lowhill street near Board, where lives the Pitezel family. for the murder of the head of which he was finally convicted and hanged. In the Fall of 1894 the two little Petizel children had disappeared from the CalloWhill street house and no sat isfactory explanation of their where abouts was obtainable, until finally their bodies were discovered buried was in July of 1895. It was found that the children had been smuggled in trunk supposed to have belong ed to Holmes.
 Detectives found that Holmes
 with two little girls, registered at a Toronto Hotel on October IS. 1894 When this became known Holmes was in prison in Philadelphia charg- ed with a scheme to defraud an in- surance company. The finding of the children's bodies led to graveI 1 charge against him. It was the beliei | of the police that his object was to l do away with the whole PiteZel fam ' fly, that he had killed the husband and that he was apprehended before 1 he had a chance to kill Mrs. iPtezel 1 During the middle of July the detec- l tiNcS iCll HO Stont to NCdNt a rope that would hang Holmes.

THE LATEST STORY
 BY DANE C0OLR|DGE
Batwing BowIes, the Tale of an Ar;
 zona Cattle Ranch

"Batwing Bowles" is the latest story by Dane Coolidge, Frederick A. stokes company, New York, net s1.25 It is one of the best of MT. Cool = idge's western stories and he has the advantage over rnany of the writers of stories of the west, in knowing the west. He has lived in the COW camps of Arizona end Cali fornia and wherever else the local color needed might be acquired. Mr. Coolidge is well known in this part of the state, having been introduced some years aso by Representative Carl Hayden whose classmate he had been at Stanford.
 Many of the stories of MT. Coolidge have been true to life. and some of them have been life itself, even the every day names of his characters have not changed. Among them are well known Arizona cowboys and cattlemen.
 In "Batwing Bowles' the charac- ters are probably fictitious. but in every cowcamp may be found men iioiAA "Aoiii luOy HuSut Dc ui " H. The story has it's beginning in New York when Dixie Lee, the daughter of a wealthy Arizona cattleman, Hen ry Lee. resident of Southern Ari- zona, is leaving for home after a winter in the city. She is accosted at railroad station by Sam HOugh- ton, a gentleman whom she had met at a musicale. but whom she con- founds with another guest, and he answers to the name of Bowles. Bowles, or sHoughton, is escaping from his aunts, who have arranged a matrimonial program involving him. Bowles and Miss Lee travel togeth- CT to Albuquerque, where Miss Lee leaves the main line of the Santa Fe for home in Southeastern Arizona. At Chula Vista. the station near the Lee ranch. she unexpectedly encoun- ters Bowles again, who has been at tracted to her as magnet. She takes no notice of him. but a few days later he applies at the ranch for employment and is grudgingly given it by Henry Lee. The name of the ranch is the "Batwing," whence

ing, but so we'll had the case been l worked up that it was evident that the regular trial would speedily fol- low.
 All that was necessary was to bring this one murder charge against the man. who had committed many murders, for the evidence was so conclusive before the trial that there was no doubt he would be convicted. Then there was the question of eX- pense and delay that would have been necessary to have brought evil dence and witnesses from all over the country where he had commit. | ted his crimes
 | At this preliminary trial the date for the regular trial was set for Monday, October 2S. The case was | heard before Judge Arnold. Holmes | presented an odd study as he sat in 1 the fourtroom one of the greatest criminals of any age. He was a l short slightly built man. weighing 1 hardly 100 pounds. A jury was se- lected with little trouble. The Dis | trict Attorney of Philadelphia George $. Graham, made the opening ad dress. He stated that he had full evidence and would be able to prove that Pitezel had been murdered in | his home at 1916 Callowhill street on September 2, 1894.
 On the first day of his trial Holmes, in a rather spectacular way discharged the lawyers who were to defend him, and started to defend himself, but the following day he ex- pressed a willingness to have them return as he believed the case was too complicated for him to carry ii alone.
 Among the first witnesses called was the daughter of the murdered man, Miss Dessa Pitezel She was followed by Eugene Smith. who hat found the body of the murdered man
 On the second day of the tiral Mrs
 PiteZel. who had been summoned from Chicago. took the stand. Sht
 was the most interesting of all ths
 witnesses of the trial, not only oI
 account of her laying bare the If.
 of Holmes, but that through his vii.
 lany she had been deprived of hel
 husband and three children.
 The trial lasted until November 3
 when verdict of guilty was brough
 in by the jury. Holmes was sentenc
 ed to death on December 1. and tn
 death warrant was signed on Marcl
 6 of the following year. and on Ma! s the murderer was hanged at Moy
 amensing prison.

the name of Bowles. Every chapter of Bowles life as a cowboy is thrilling one. He finds his way oc- casionally to the ranch house, where he is treated with studied disregard mingled with apparent contempt by Miss Lee, who has not admitted their slight New York acquaintance or their companionship on the west ward journey. The climax comes rapidly. Miss Lee. whose love for Bowles, though dissembled, is as warm as his. and at length she makes a declaration
 The story is most interesting one and well told, as all of MT. Cooldges stories are.

GENERAL SAMPSON
 LECTURES 1T YUMA
Took His Hearers from China to
 London Via Asia and Africa

General A. J. Sampson, who, with Mrs. Sampson. has been spending the winter at Yuma, delivered a tra- velogue at the Methodist church there last Sunday morning. General Sampson, who has travelled pretty much all of the civilized world, has the happy faculty of describing what he has seen that his hearers see it.
 The Yuma Examiner said of the lecture:
 The lecture given Sunday morn ing by Gen. A. J. Sampson at the Yuma Methodist church was well at tended and was unusually well re- ceived. The speaker deserves great credit for his clear, clever portrayal of the incidents arising from a very interesting trip from China to Lon don, through Asia, Africa, etc, and the whole was very interesting and instructive.

Kind of Machine to Own.

Henry W. Klausmann city engineer, has kept deep, dark secret from his friends for many months. He has "come around" at last and admits the ownership of a new automobile.
 Klausmann's old automobile was known as Old Betsy. 1t was one- cylinder affair that refused to wear out, even after six years of hard work, and for that matter it has not worn out yet.
 My family finally refused to ride with me in Old Betsy" said Klaus mann. "They did consent to ride in the machine at night for a while but when they refused to ride in it even after dark I concluded 1t was time to buy a new machine.
 "I left Old Betsy standing out in the yard in the rain, sleet and snow. One day told my family physician he could take the old machine and use it until l asked that it be returned. We got n gallon of gasoline put it in the tank gave the crank turn and Old Betsy's engine responded as of old. He has been running that machine for several months now at total cost for repairs of $1.70. I have not asked him to rec turn the machine. No, don't believe I ever will. l.'-Inidanapolis News.

The Boy Scouts Idea

Daniel O. Beard, national boy scout commissioner, in letter to a New York newspaper contributes the follow ing:
 For the sake of historical accuracy allow me to correct statement to the effect that the boy scout idea originated in England. The fact is it was evolved here in America from American tradi- tions and history and particularly from the lives of the buokskin men of the middle west-Daniel Boone and simon Kenton, George Rogers Clark, Davy Crockett and George Washington. The distinguished general Baden-Powell was too good Q sportsman to claim the idea. When he first visit Ad this country and was introduced by MT. Seton as the father of the boy scouts ne said, "I am not the father, but I might be called the 'uncle'." He frankly acknowledged that he 'cribbed the idea from America. See also Colonel Roosevelt's letter to the boy scouts of Philadelphia in the book of their third annual encampment, in which he says that the boy scout idea was brought to his attention while he was president. This was before Baden Powell's scouts were organized. Baden-Powell previously had society of boys; SO also had many other people and churches and welfare workers, but none of them became universally popu- lar until the American scout idea was adopted to appeal 10 the boys love of romance and adventure. 'a-- e..
 "The gentlemen in this movement are in it to help the boys and not for personal glory; hence we have agreed that none of us shall make personal claims to the honor of originating the idea, but we also agreed that it is per. fectly right, legitimate, proper and a patriotic duty to state that it is all American idea, : indigenous to this country. ."N
 "The boy scout movement had its birth many years previous to 1910 here in America. It was, however, in 1910 that the different bodies and individuals working for the boys united an formed the present organization known as the Boy Scouts of America; thence the erro- neous impression as to the date of the birth of the boy scout idea, n a

SUFFRAGE-PR0 AND CON
Pro.

FEOs
 Connecticut suffragists are so we'll pleased with the result of the campaign which they have been carrying on since the middle of June that they are intend ing to carry it into Middlesex County. Just about two weeks have been spent ill Holland County but so much energy has been infused into the campaign and so many meetings have been held each day, that practically the whole county has been covered. The meetings have been held both in halls in the evening and in the open air at all tipes of the day when an audience could be gathered. The chief of the outdoor meetings have been held near the factories, either at noon or about the time that work was finished for the day. There is always a ready response from factory workers, both men and women, for these people come nearer to the hard facts of life than do women who are sheltered by the possession of money and property. Working men know the value to them. selves of the vote, and tl.ey readily sympathetic with the women in their struggle for the same protection and power.
 It is the object of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association to carry the suffrage propaganda into every con- stituency that elects representative to the legislature at Hartford before the elections come on in November. In the last legislature many of there repre-. sentatives stated both in the House aud to the women who were working at the Capitol in the interest of woman suffrage, that there was no demand for Votes for Women in their constituencies that they had never heard any one even mention the subject. Such au excuse will not be possible for any man who is elected next November, for in every town and even in every village the demand for woman suffrage will have penetrated, people will have dis cussed the question and constituents will have ranged themselves definitely in favor of the demand of the women.

Stockholders Sue.

A restitution suit whereby minority stockholders seek to compel former and present directors to restore to the treasury of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company approxi- mately $l02, 900, 900 alleged to have been illegally used in building up the system. was begunin the supreme court today.
 It is alleged that under the federal anti trust act the "New Haven" is entitled to recover from the defendants threefold that sum-or $306, GOO, 900.
 Judge Braley, before whom the action was brought, issued an order of notice returnable next Friday to show cause why a receiver, special master or other official should not be appointed in accordance with the bill of complaint. The plaintiffs who are trustees of the late Ole Bull Vaughan's e.tate and own fifty shares of the capital stock, asked for receiver to take possession of all claims in favor of the defendants, but not to interfere with the administration of the current affairs of the "New Haven" company. They asked also that shares of capital stock held by the defendants be not disturbed except by order of the court, and that they later be applied to the payment of any court decree that might be issued.
 The suit is against the corporation and the directors in office from 1904 to 1909. John l.. Billiard, who is said to have derived a profit of $2,000, 00O from transactions with the company. as not made a defendant because he was not director during that period.
