Your notice of the record of egg laying at the Hillside farm reminds of story of a wonderful hen in my boy hood days. I think that the story was one of Sam Farley's stories as he was famous for exaggeration. He said that this wonderful hen every day would lay three eggs and that Sunday she would lay ten. Were there any such at the Hillside farm the first Sunday in March when they laid 11S eggs?
 A recent letter from my nephew O.. W. Rider told of the recent death of his uncle Wm. Wallace Rider in Al. bany, N. Y. I think in his S4th year as he was about four years my junior. He was a native of Willing ton and the last of six children of Talmun and Marcia Dexter Rider. One by one the old generation are passing over the river.

"BRoWN co. FAIR" SUCCESSFUL

While it was expected that the Brown
County Fair would draw a good house
and prove an evening Of merriment few
were prepared to see Turner Hall Audi
forum so well filled. The play as rem
dered by home talent was delightful and
the scenic effects very pretty. Several
new voices were heard among the solo,
lists, Mrs. Minimum, Mr.. Rawson and Jos.
Wheeler being among those new to
theatre goers of New Ulm. Mrs. Mini
UNI was charming in her solo, "Men,
Men, Men, and the young men Of town
who took the part OF chorus men did it
to perfection.
Miss Paddock as the grieving qua
drupled widow kept the house in an up
roar until she finally secured the fifth
husband and appeared as blushing bride
in the chorus, II, John, Take Thee, Ma
tilda.''
..Giggling Sal'' in the person Of Miss
Thornton was most entertaining with
out her having to say word all evening.
Alex Garrow in Buster Brown outfit, and
led about by the hand by his dimnuitive
Aunt Sue, Mrs. Beecher, was another of
the stars Of the production and his
brother, Douglas, in prima donna act,
drew applause that insisted on an en-
core. Joseph Wheeler made fine Indian
brave and the young girls who assisted
in his song number gave most realistic
Indian dance. The Italian dance was
pretty and graceful. Earl Setter as the
ubiquitous 1'Boss JONES'" county poll
tician, was here, there and everywhere
at once as successful politician must be.
Mr.. Wendt played the farmer who raised
prize "punkins" and Rudy Kemski who
has never lived on a farm week looked
his part Of Hiram to finish. Mrs.
Kemski as s'Hiram's" best girl was quite
at home also in her part.
The first chorus by Blanche Burg and
fifty wee ones was just as dear as could
be and the apple blossom chorus was
most effective. The duets of Miss Rose
bud Engel, Miss Elsa Marti and Miss
Martha Winkelmann with Mr.. Wheeler
and Mr.. Rawson added much to the
musical part Of the evening.
It: is impossible to comment on the
work of each member Of the cast, there
were so many of them but each one made
the most Of his lines and added to the
completeness of the production which
was most pleasing turnout.
The Ladies Committee of the Con-
gregational Church which had in charge
the preparation of the comedy, "The
Brown County Fair" desire to thank all]
who assisted them in their work by taxi
ing part or by patronizing the entertain
ment in any way. They realized very
satisfactory sum Of money and are very
grateful to all who helped them in any
way and take this method Of expressing
their appreciation to all. adv.

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
OGRKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe of Sage and Sulphur
and Nobody viii Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruf, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to mako it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get
large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause 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 a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

il is not only on that account that
people who suffer with weak kidneys

Uric acid is poison to the nerves,

chiIdren Not Naturally Destructive.

Children MOT Naturally DESTRUCTIVE
BE gentle with the child who
smashes his toys. The fault is not
his, but yours. who provided him with
toys too complicated for his immature
little mind to understand. Dottoressa
Maria Montessori. in her lecture at
Carnegie hall said little children were
not naturally destructive, as most par
ents had reason to suppose, but that
the instinct to pull the object TO
pieces was the only natural thing for
a child to do with something it die
not understand, Most toys given to
children are too complicated, DR.. Mon
tessori asserted.
Instead of expecting children to
amuse themselves with toys they do
not understand, mothers should as
sumo more responsibility for their
children's entertainment she con
tinned. The mother who drives her
child away from her side when she is
working makes a pitiful mistake. 1t
is impossible to estimate the effect
upon the child's mind if he were
