The Wasps' Lesson,

An English gentleman lately took a
small wasps nest, about the size of an
apple, and, after stupefying it's in
mates, placed it in large cage inside
Of his house. leaving an opening for
.gress through the wall Here the nest
was enlarged to a foot in diameter,
holding thousands of wasps. He was
able now to watch their movements,
and he noted one new fact-nameiy
their systematic attention to ventia-
ton. In hot weather from four to
six wasps were continually stationed
at the hole of egress, and while leav-
ing space for entrance or exit. they ere
ated steady current of fresh air by
the exceedingly rapid motion of their
wings. After Il long course of this
vigorous exercise the ventilators were
relieved by other waSps. During cool
weather only two wasps at a time were
usually thus engaged.

The second player answers, Yes;
they smell SO sweetly," and this an
swer belongs to the first player. The

DINOSAUR FOUND
BY A DENVER MAN
Scientists at Work Trying to
Collect All Of the Bones.

Grand Junction. Colo. = Coming to
Grand Junction to examine the Skele-
ton of the dinOSaur found south of the
city recently, Professor j. d. Higgins
of the City Park museum in Denver
found another while searching the
hills. He expects to have it eXcavated
and removed to Denver to be mounted
in the museum.
Professor Higgins. with two guides.
viewed the pile Of bones Of the petri-
fed dinosaur recently located and
found the bones much scattered and
disintegrated Some were carried
away by specimen hunters. He found
several hard. round rocks which he
declared to be the stones a dinosaur
swallowed to grind food with. as a
chicken swallows pebbles.
He kept on the trail and soon found
small slivers of bone and large joint
sticking out of the ground.
He staked the place and returned to
Grand Junction and states that he will
Immediately start the work of having
the huge skeleton uncovered.
Judging from the formation where
the bones were found. there is every
reason to believe that the skeleton can
be taken out in more than ordinarily
fine condition.
Professor Higgins said it has always
been the case that when petrified
skeletons of dinosaurs have been found
in Colorado some eastern museum has
swooped in and captured the prize.
while Colorado'S own museum stands
devoid of any of the specimens found
in it's own state. If this proves to be
a fairly good specimen it will be placed
in the Denver museum as rapidly as
the work can be accomplished.
While there is no way Of determin-
ing the size of the saurian until some
excavation is made. the size of the
joint found protruding from the ground
indicates that the animal was as large
as the largest ones found in the valley.

Why Elephants Are Hard to Kill.

To shoot an elephant and bring him
down at once is a highly delicate and
dangerous proceeding. The huntsman
must send the bullet straight into
one of two or three spots on the ami
mails body or run the risk of losing
his life. One is the hollow just above
the elephants trunk. A side shot
through the eye, however, answers
the purpose as effectually and it is a
safer one to try.

SOME STATES REPUTATION

Wisconsin has the reputation of be-
ing the leading livestock state from
the standpoint of superiority of herds
and flOcks 1t is the greatest butter
state, likewise the greatest cheese
state 1t has the superior pastures
and the best meadows. 1t has more
silos than any other state and is
building them more rapidly than any
other state.
Wisconsin is noted from ocean to
ocean as the state of continuous
good yields of farm crops and for
the good health and vigor of it's live
stock. The state is noted, too, for
the production Of crops and their
conversion into commodities that TAX
the least fertility from the soil, while
commanding the best and most sta
BILE prices.
Wisconsin not only produces the
best yields, but so far the best quail
ity of grains that other states and
countries recognize them as neces-
sary for seed. The result is that
Wisconsin seed grains find a mar
ket all over the world.

SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARkENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, lifeless
locks and they become dark,
glossy, youthful.

Hair that loses its color and 1ustre, or
when it fades, turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the
hair. Our grandmother made up mix
ture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep
her locks dark and beautiful, and thou
sands of women and men who value that
even color, that beautiful dark shade of
hair which is so attractive, use only this
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
by asking at any drug store for so
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" which darkens the
hair so naturally, SO evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been applied. Be
sides, it takes off dandruff, stops scalp
itching and falling hair. You just
dampen sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after few applica-
lions, it also brings back the gloss and
lustre and gives it an appearance of
abundance.
