Hair Made Beautiful

Beautiful hair, thick, fluffy, lustrous
and absolutely free from dandruff Is
not so much a gift of nature as a
matter of caro- and proper nourish-
ment. Hair is like a plant-it will
not grow healthy and beautiful unless
1t has attention and proper nutriment
Partisan Sage. daintily perfumed
and easily applied, tones up and in
vigorates the roots of the hair, and
furnishes 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 Excess
sive oil.

obtained from Bowditch- Webster Co
or at any drug or toilet counter, new

sary for any woman to be Inundated

else, helps you to retain a youthful ap-
pearance.

Albany, n. Y, April l3.-The last
faint glimmer of hope that a reprieve
might be granted the four New York
gunmen passed late yesterday. In the
executive chamber of the deserted state
capitol Governor Glynn heard the final
appeals of two attorneys for the CON
victed slayers, c. G. +. Wahle and H. L.
Kringle, for a stay of the death SEN
tence and then again for the last time
refused to interfere with the executions.
For two hours-from about three
o'clock until fve-the two ATTORNEYS
pleaded with the governor. All appeals
to his sympathies were disregarded.
Only the new evidence that was pre-
sented before Justice Goff in New York
Saturday was presented. Seldom did
the attorneys speak above conversa-
tional tone. When they had finished,
the governor and his legal adviser, John
G.. SAKE, retired to a private room to
consider the evidence.
Every scrap of evidence was gone over

NEARLY KILLED UNDER TRAIN.
John Cotton Managed to Get Partly Out
of the Way.

Burlington, April l3.-John Cotton Of
Rutland, freight brakeman in the en-
ploy of the Rutland railroad, was
brought TO this city on the $3.50 train
Saturday night with his left ankle
crushed as the result of falling from the
top of freight car and his leg going
under a wheel, near the Colchester sid
ing. earlier in the evening. That his body
was not ground to death seems a mir
acle. The train had just slowed up and
was crawling along the siding when Col
ton, who was walking along the top of a
car, made misstep and was plunged
between the cars. Strange TO say he
was not in the least injured in striking
the ground where he alighted on his
feet, but his left ankle went under the
car wheel before he could get his bal
ance. He was quick enough, however, and
had presence of mind to pull his other
leg away from danger Colton's plight
was soon discovered and he was at once
rushed by train to Burlington, where he
was met at the station by DIR. I. f..
Clark and the police ambulance. The
injured man was taken to the Mary
Fletcher hospital and cared for. 1t has
not yet been ascertained whether or
not he viii lose his leg.
