THRIVING ORDER.

The third quarterly meeting of the
Workingmen's Union and Benevolent
Association of Algiers was held at
Pythian Hall, Wednesday, October 20.
A large number of members attended
to hear the reports of officers and
committees. This organization, strong
in numbers and finances, has been
with US for many long years, and
judging from the spirit and enthusi-
asm of the members, promises to stay
with us for many years to come, espe-
cially as many young men have been
received into the association during
this year. 1t has always been a fac
tor in Algiers' social, charitable and
benevolent endeavors, and we heartily
wish them success in their campaign
to double their membership. Appli-
cations will be taken by any member,
or direct by Mr.. w. G. Andry, record
ing secretary, 406 Elmira avenue.

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY
STORIES.

And every story good one. They
are entertaining, but that is not all
YOU can say about them. You know
there is hardly a periodical published
that is not full of time-wasting sto-
ries. but not a single story in The
Youths Companion is a time waster.
Take the stories of c. A. Stephens.
1t would be hard to pick out one from
which you cannot learn something
useful and yet entertaining.
Some of The Companion stories re-
fresh your knowledge of geography;
some tell you the mysteries of chem
istry, some reveal the secrets OF for
estry and of general farming. They
cover a wide range. They are chosen
with an eye to the possible likings OF
every member of a Companion fam
ily-stories of vigorous action and
stirring adventure for boys, stories OF
college life and domestic vicissitudes
for girls, stories that range all the
way from sheer drollery TO deep Sc
robustness for men and women. There
are not stories quite like those in
The Companion.
If you are not familiar with The
Companion as it is to-day, let us send
you sample copies and the Forecast
for 1916.
New subscribers who send $500
for 1916 will receive free a copy of

ing 1915 issues from the time the

Legend of the Daisy.

According to the Celtic belief, every
newborn baby that died became spirit
and to comfort its Borrowing parents
1t would scatter some kind Of flower
from the sky.
A woman named Malvina lost her
little son and grieved SO long and so
hard that her friends tried to turn her
thoughts some other way.
Her friends made up a song. which
was sung to her by a number Of young
women. The song told about their see
ing her little son on light cloud which
hung near the earth. He had a lot Of
new flowers, one Of which was q gold
circle with silver leaves. tinted with
red around 1t. When 1t waved In the
wind 1t looked like little baby play
ing in q green meadow. The baby in
the cloud threw this pretty little flower
to the ground. where it took root and
grew. according to the song. The wo-
men took a bunch of daisies to Malvina
and said these were the flowers thrown
by her son.
Since then the daisy has been called
the flower Of innocence. because It Is
supposed TO have been the flower Of the
newborn.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. FARE
WELL.

1t seems incredible that an actor
of Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson's
gifts and attachments should retire
from the theatre at the summit of
his power, but he is not the man to
LAG superfuous on the stage" He
will make his farewell appearance at
the Tulane Theatre Monday and
week. Hamlet" will be layed Mon
day and Thursday nights; 1.-THE Light
That Fails" Tuesday, Saturday night,
Wednesday matinee; Passing of the
Third Floor Back" Wednesday and
Friday nights, Saturday matinee.
His exit will be the stateliest part
he has ever played and all who wit
ness that final performance of Ham
let" will carry away with them the
memory of the greatest prince the
English stage has ever seen. 1t Is
nearly nineteen years since Forbes
Robertson produced Hamlet" in
London. His Hamlet" is universally
recognized as the Incompatible
the most distinguished and intellec-
tual Hamlet of our time. With the
single exception of Irving's Shylock
there is no piece of classical acting
to set beside 1t.
Many good playgoers who feel that
Forbes-Robertson is Intellectually at
his greatest in classical drama-in
some dominating characters as Ham,
let, Shylock, Othello, and Macbeth,
to name only a few of his achieve
ments-believe that he has lost
something by excursions into ephe-
neral modern drama. This is not so.
The art of the actor should have no
boundaries. That was the view of
the old histrions-among them
Phelps, to whom Forbes Robertson,
who was his pupil, frankly confesses
he loves everything"
Whatever the true and earnest &C
tor plays he dignifies. For forty
years Forbes-Robertson has filled a
worthy place on the English stage,
associated with the best art of his
time, and playing with some of the
greatest in his calling-Irving, Hare,
the Bancrofts, Modjeska and Mary
Anderson. 1t is as the greatest clas-
steal actor that he will go down in
history, remembered always for his
princely bearing, his majestic voice,
and the intellectual impetus behind
his art.

Quite an unusual pet is that pos
sessed by a Pennsylvania boy. 1t is
q big Cochin rooster. and it is very
fond Of its master and follows him
about when permitted to do so. Since
a little chick just out of the shell the
boy has fed and cared for the bird.
and of course the little chick learned
to love its master. Now that he has
grown to be big rooster he shows the
same affection and likes to be petted.
The hen family is said to be lacking in
intelligence, but this big fellow Is said
almost to understand what the boy
says to 1t, and will obey when ordered
to 60 to his coop and do other smart
things. OF course 1t has always been
treated with kindness, and that goes
long way with all creatures.

About the Umbrella,

There Is a very general belief that
umbrellas were invented and first used
by Jonas Hanway. the celebrated Eng
lish philanthropist. This Is an error.
Hanway was perhaps the first man
who walked the London streets with
an umbrella over his head to keep of
the rain, and We are told that latter
continuing to use one for thirty years
he saw them come into general use."
He died in 1856. so that the date when
be introduced them must have been
between 40 and l760. The earliest
use of umbrellas. however, dates back
1000 or 5000 years before this. On
one of the bas-reliefs brought from
Nineveh by Layard and now In the
British Museum there Is a representa-
ton Of slave holding an umbrella
over the head of the king as he rides IL
his chariot.

SAGE IS DANDY
To DARKEN HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Bring
Back Color and Lustre to Hair.
You can turn gray, faded hair beau

tifully dark and lustrous almost over
night if you will get a 50-cent bottle
of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" at any drug store. Millions
of bottles of this old, famous Sage
Tea Recipe are sold annually says a
well known druggist here, because it
darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that no one can tell it has
been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray,
becoming faded, dry, sctaggly and
thin have a surprise awaiting them,
because after one of two applica-
tions the gray hair vanishes and your
locks become luXuriantly dark and
beautiful-all dandruff goes, scalp
itching and falling hair stops.
This is the age of youth. Gray
haired. unattractive folks aren't
wanted around, so get busy with Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur tonight and
you'll be delighted with your dark,
handsome hair and your youthful
appearance within a few days.
