both.
Mayor McClain's generous and an.
preciative speech was the talk of all
Harrisburg visitors and it gave ex-
preston to the sentiment which seems
to prevail throughout all the cities and
towns in this part of PENNSYLVANIA.
Harrisburg has been as beacon light
whose rays have penetrated every cor.
ner of Pennsylvania and the splendid
progress along every proper line OF
development in this city has been an
inspiration to all other municipalities
large and small. Mayor McClain has
doubly cinched his hold upon the
affections of Harrisburg and while he
was popular here before, he is now a
citizen by adoption who should have
the unanimous vote of our people fo1
the high office of Lieutenant-G Governor
for which he has been nominated b,
the Republican party.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an
Old-time Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She used to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever
her hair fell out or took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance. this SIM
pie mixture was applied with wonderful
effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for 20 cent bottle of
''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy." 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,
feveTish, itchy scalp. and falling hair.
4 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 II and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the gray
hair disappears. and after another ap-
plication or two. it becomes beautifully
dark, glossy. soft and abundant.

WON $40 WITH "
A So BANK NOTE

MIDDLETON, N. Y, Feb. 3.-A
man walked into one of the
leading cafes here and asked
the bartender to give him
change for a So bill. The lat
ter started to count out the
change, then stopped and
thought a moment.
"G'wan there's no such thing as
a S3 bill" he remarked. The
man who wanted the change
insisted that there was, and
the bartender bet him $40
there was not. Thereupon the
visitor produced a So bill.
1t was a bill issued January I,
1852, by the Bank of North
America, of Seymour, Conn.,,
which the man had found in
the siding of a house to which
he was making repairs. The
old banknote was signed by F.

come to a close in Battle Creek. Mich,
With the awarding of 5000 in prizes, by
c. ". Post. for three successful paint
ings on the subject Dangerous Ser

the prizes and furnished details as 70
the lesson the picture should teach.
These preliminary sketches were asked
TO be hled by all competitors by Sep

children without religion, Secretary OF
State Bryan struck a responsive chord
az a meeting of the sisterhood Of the

and if it is not filed with religion 1t
will be filled with irrelieion." said the
Secretary He asserted that morality
is the outward manifestation of inward

That religion is not mere sentiment,
but is most practical and that he diff

Mr.. Bryan assured Mrs. Eugene
