A STUDY or ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
THE MAN.

1t has been said of Lincoln that he
grew to great mental stature and
achieved his masterfui grip upon the
intelligence of the world, not alone
because he had extraordinary natural
endowments, but because he had an
Unsuitable interest in realities, and
never allowed book or a formula to
obscure the sunlight of living fact"
A great many people are inclined to
look upon Abraham Lincoln as a mar
velous being, raised up for a divine
purpose, and endowed with sublime
attributes which are not bestowed
Upon ordinary mortais. Yet If we an
alyze his character we find it made
up of the humblest virtues, the most
ordinary human qualities.
1t was his incorruptible manhood,
his answering honesty, his love of
truths, his adherence to what he be-
lieved to be right in the face of all
temptations and difficulties, that, more
than all else, made him the sublime
character he was.
Lincoln never shrank from espous-

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Youngerl Try Grandma's
Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody Will Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back tho natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make 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 a
large bottle for about 50 cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
You darkened your hair, as it does 1t
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
q sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking

after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

In Germany studying art" said a New
York artist, Il had friend who was a
sublieutenant in the army. Like most
German officers he was an enthusiast
tic soldier-militarists we call them
now-and one day he brought a book
to me to read because it was, he said,
an authority with all German officers
In tactical matters and was really part
OF their military education.
I was not especially interested, not
being much of a soldier, but when /
saw the book my interest very ma
ter1ally increased, for 1t was a copy Of
'Drei Jahre I'm Sattel,' by Heros Won
Borke. the representative OF Germany
with Gen. Jeb Stuart's cavalry in our
Civil war the English title being
Three Years in the Saddle Won
Borke had not only been with the Con-
federate general for three years, but
he was In the thick Of 1t and had
written story that was intensely in,
teresting for its daring adventure and
was of such technical and tactical
value as to warrant the unusual posi-
ton accorded it by German military
authorities.
"The fact that was Yankee did
not lessen my pride the least in Gen.
eral Stuart's work, for we were all
good Americans by that time and 1
was proud to know that we were
teaching Germany one style of fight
ing anyhow. The book was in Ger
man and l suppose it has been trans,
