GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre tc 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,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about SO cents.
Don't stay gray! Try It! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does It so naturally
and evenly. You dampen q sponge or
soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at q time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark. thick and glossy

by remorse that he died Of Its effects"
He who has revealed this chapter OF
history connected with Lincoln's as
sassination is now a man OF seventy
six, who has occupied a responsible
position in the White House during all
the administrations that have come
and gone since he first was called
there to serve Lincoln nearly half O
century ago. He had spent nearly all
his boyhood and youth in q small vii
lage in Maryland and after serving
two years in the Union army had OBJ
tanned an appointment to the Wash
ington police force, with which he was
connected when called upon to act
as Lincoln's bodyguard.
It was on Thursday, January 8, 1866.
that young Crook was in his home.
near First and NJ streets, N. w., OF
duty and resting, when a fellow mem
Der Of the police force called and asked
to see him. Crook went to the door
and was told to report personally to
President Lincoln at the White House.
and to be there at precisely eight
o'clock that same evening.
"Of course l was surprised" said
Colonel Crook, in speaking Of the &C.
currence.
Shortly before eight o'clock that
evening ! walked from my home to the
White House. went directly upstairs to
the presidents office and told the door
keeper just outside that I had been
ordered to report to the president per-
sonally. He at once threw open the
door and walked in. 1t was then ex-
actly eight o'clock, and there for the
first time l saw Abraham Lincoln. He
sat in a revolving chair on the farther
side Of the room before an old-fash-
Toned desk, over which he was bending
while examining some papers.
lie looked up as l entered and said:
"Mr. President, my name is W. H.
Crook, have been ordered to re-
port to you for duty as your personal
bodyguard.'
"'All right, Crook the president re-
sponded. and turned to his papers
again. at once left the Office and
went downstairs and sought Thomas
H. Pepdell, who told me to stand near
the president as soon as he should ap-
pear for the regular Thursday evening
levee or public reception, which soon
was to commence. The president and
his party appeared at precisely nine
o'clock. coming from the living rooms
OF the presidents household to the
main floor of the White House by a
private stairway at the western end
Of the great building. From that night
until the night he was shot 1t was my
great privilege to look after the life
and safety of Abraham Lincoln"

Why? Because he has proved that

preclude the possibility Of being
robbed of freedom and independence;
that the high cost of living can't hurt
the man who grows most Of his own

fourteenth Of April, 1865, when Mr..
Lincoln started for Fords theater.
Within a. few hours the world knew
of the awful deed accomplished there.
But the world did not know until aft
erward, in fact, the world at large may
not know today, just how Wilkes
Booth was enabled to rush into the
box where sat the president and shoot
him to death, although the incident is
mentioned in q volume of recollec.

THE presidents box, occupied by
Mr.. Lincoln's party that evening, was
not on u level with the stage. 1t was
what would now be termed q box In
the second tier and on a level with
the dress circle of the theater, just

fully armed. His orders were to stand
there and to permit no unauthorized
person to pass into the box. His
orders were to stand there and protect
the president at all hazards.
THE house was practically in dark
ness save the stage wherein the play
was being enacted. The bodyguard
knew why he was stationed just out
side Of the presidents box. He knew
of the fears that some assassin would
make an attempt on Lincoln's life at
the first opportunity. He knew how
long and how carefully that precious
life had been protected in every pos

meant to the nation, perhaps to the

nights-those Of April II, April ~ and
April Is.
In recalling the occurrence Colonel
Crook said he had never forgotten the
shock which these words caused.

OF the affair. was then young man.

ward, ! am willing to admit that Mr..
Lincoln's remark made me very un.
easy. For one thing, the whole coun.
try was strained, anxious, distraught,
notwithstanding the belief that hostil-
tiles soon were to end with complete
victory for the Union.
Much had been said and suggested
about the possibility Of the presidents
assassination. AS his personal body.
guard this possibility was always in
my mind; and every moment when on
duty | was constantly on the lookout
for some sudden attack. It was my
business to see that Mr.. Lincoln did
not expose himself needlessly; and
especially to see that no stranger ap-
preached him with hands covered or
concealed in any way.
when Mr.. Lincoln told me that for
the third successive time he had
dreamed Of being assassinated I said
that in my judgment further and I'M
usual measures should be undertaken
without an hours delay for his pro-
lection. He looked at me in silence
for q moment, kindly smile in his
great tired eyes, and then slowly
shook his head.
NO. he said. II anybody is wicked
enough to want to kill me we can do
nothing to prevent it.
Possibly that is true, Mr.. Presi-
dent made bold to answer with all
respect, still the very knowledge of
the fact makes me all the more anx.
ious."
"'Well, Crook, what do you want to
do? he said, tolerantly, so as not to
hurt my feelings.
1.-THE first thing want you to do,
Mr.. President, is to cancel your en-
gagement for this evening-to stay
away from Fords theater.'

piled.
Finally I urged him to let me stay
on duty and accompany him to the
theater, but he would not hear Of this
either.
"No, Crook he said kindly but
firmly; you have had q hard days
work already and must 90 home to
sleep and rest. cannot afford to
have you get all tired out and ex-
hausted.'

tie and Make One of !he Most
Acceptable Gifts.

This well-arranged and compact lit
tie case for holding a small pair oil
scissors, needles and the contents oil
a reel of cotton wound upon a card
would form an excellent little present
The size of the case will be deter
mined more or less, by the size of the
scissors 1t contains, and when intend
ed as gift it should be furnished with
a small pair of nail-scissors, as they
can, OF course, be used for other pur

edges, where indicated, with narrow
ribbon.

piece, and that portion which forms
the pocket for the cotton folded up
wards and sewn down at the sides. The
portion on which the scissors rest il
stiffened with piece Of card sewed ir
between the cover and the lining.
The pocket for the scissors Is made
Of soft wash-leather, and into 1t the

made Of number Of pieces Of black
cloth cut out in the same size and
shape as the crimson cloth, and then
cut into tiny points at the edges.
These pieces of black cloth are placed
under the crimson cloth and then four
holes made through them with the
point of pair of scissors and the ends
Of two pieces of gold ribbon forced
through the holes.
Diagram A on the right of the
sketch illustrates this, and diagram B
shows the bottom of the pen-wiper af-
ter the ribbons have been run through
It. The ends Of the ribbons are folded
over towards the center and stitched
down so that they form four loops, and
to hide the stitching a small pearl but
ton Is sewed on.
The ribbons will, of course, hold all
the pieces of cloth securely together,
and they can be quickly renewed when
they become faded or soiled.
This little pen-wiper is so simple to
make that it should not be forgotten
when work is being prepared for a ba.
Zaar, and when number of them are
being made they could be carried out
in different colors.

In the way of science, but 1t was not
