Mrs. Tompkins removed with her sons

been impaired, but she ever bore her
Affections with Christian fortitude. and
carried sunshine and happiness into
the hearts and lives of all with whom
she came in contact.
Mrs. Tompkins is survived by one
brother, Lott Price, of Chattanooga,
and by several sisters who reside in
California Her immediate family
members are two daughters, Mrs. V. M.
Shipley and Mrs. James A. Harris;
two sons, w. H. Tompkins Mfo,iam

Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Try GrandmOther's Old FaVOrite Re-
cipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color AMI
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed 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 ask
ing at any drug store for "Wyeth's
s,se and Sulphur Compound" v'u
will get a large bottle of this famous
cid recipe for about sc tents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears: and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy.

HIGH GRADE STOCK
FOR THE INDIANS

Fort Yates, N. D., June 3-On his
way home from the east last week,
Superintendent c.. C. Covey Of the
Standing Rock Agency, stopped in
Minnesota, and bought for the Indian
school herd twenty-five head grade
dual purpose shortEorn cows. 10
p%ure-blood COWS and 4 pure.blood
bulls. They will be shipped to Can.
nonball, and are expected to arrive
next Monday in charge of Clyde Mil
Ter, industrial teachers Of the farm
school, who has gone to look otter
them.
The cattle were bought from Fin
ley McMartin of Claremont, and
w. H. Houlton & Son of Elk River,
Minn.t These men are among the best
known breeders of dairy shorthorn
cattle in the country, and 1t is a mat
ter of interest to know that the fount
dalton stock for the agricultural ex-
pertinent schools on the reservation
are from the best herds in the Unit
ed States The pure-blood cows cost
on an average Of 5000 each, and the
bulls $3.50 and $3.50. The grade cows
averaged SIS.
Mr.. Covey expects to obtain anoth;
or bull and about IS cows from H. L.
Cobb and Son Of Independence, Iowa,
some Anne in June.
When assuming charge Of the To-
cal agency last fall MI. Covey asked
for authority to buy these cattle, and
since the authority was granted has
been in touch with the breeders in
different states. The selection was
made from the Minnesota herd after
careful consideration, and will form
one Of the finest foundation herds ev,
or shipped int the state.

SHR|NERS HAD
SPLENDID TIME
Fargo Ell Zagal Shrine Treated
Visiting Mobiles in a Princely
Manner.

g Fargo, N. D., June 5.-When n
thinks that fully 800 mobiles Of the
Ancient Arabic Order Mobiles Of the
Mystic Shrine were crowded into the
vast banquet hall last evening for the
big feed and then think that there
were a large number Of others had
to wait for vacant places before they
could be served, they would have
some idea Of the vast number OF
Shriners that took part in the great
est ceremonial session that was ever
held in the state Of North Dakota.
The banquet, which took place at
6 o'clock after the big parade in the
afternoon, was the most beautiful and
inspiring sight that has been cen in
the northwest. With the Ell Zagal
band and the Ell Zagal patrol In full
uniform, Potentate Gage and his d.
van in full regalia of extreme orient
al pattern and color and a sea of red
made the feed heads Of the mobiles,
a combination Of color and action
was given to the banquet that could
never be forgotten.
The vast dining hall Of the temple
was beautifully decorated with the
red and yellow Of the Shrine, while
at intervals the cimetar and crescent
emblem Of the order was outlined in
electric lights, The banquet was serv.
ed by the George Prize Co., a host Of
mattresses being employed for the oc.
casion.
At the head table sat Potentate r.
l.. Gage and his divan and potentates
and past potentate Of the northwest.
ern temples. Potentate Gage vas
postmaster at the banquet, there be.
ing a number Of brief talks. The Kio'
zagony singers, under the direction Of
Prof. Bertrand A. Orr Of the agricul-
tural college sang a number Of selec.
plause. One especially appealed to
the mobiles. This was It's a Long,
Long Way to Nile Temple, written by
Professor Orr and dedicated espe.
cially to the pilgrimage that will soon
be made to the west.
Two of the girls from the musical
comedy company at the Grand theat-
er entertained the b%anQueters with
song and dance at intervals and both
were met with storms of applause.
They did some good dancing on a
raised platform about the middle of
the big hall.
After the banquet the ceremonial
work was started, when eighty-flve
novices made the perilous trip to the
oasis of Ell Zagal. This was followed
by a smoker and completed the great
est ceremonial session that has ever
been seen in the state.
That the Shriners we're pleased
was evidenced by the words of praise
the mobiles had for Ell Zagal and for
Potentate Gage and his estimable d.
van. They commented especially on
