Rails have been depressed by the up
ward movement in wheat and corn, re-
suting from reports of black rust and
excessive heat.
The following analysis of the New York
Stock Exchange situation was received
yesterday by w. b. Hibbs & Co from
Logan < Bryan. their New York repre-
sentatives:
A little foreign and domestic liquida-
induced by the concurrence OF Western
opinion relative to increasing crop dam
age in the Northwest. was the Outsta nd
ing feature in todays dealings. The
heaviness in this department was respon-
sible for the softer tone displayed in the
general market, although declines were
not extensive Should II develop that
the grain yields be materially reduced
which is not at all improbable when one
considers the ChaIlCtcr OF the prevailing
crop advices, tonnage would naturally
be much smaller than that of the past
two years. when bumper grain crops
have been the order of things.
"A Curtailment in earning power Conse-
Guently is the plausible theory and on
this assumption the West has shown a
disposition to sell moderately in the car
riers
The B. F. Goodrich Company issued a
very favorable statement on earnings
for the first six months Of the current
year. bat. as I'm the past, extremely fa-
vorable revenue reports. especially in
the industrIals. inspire no outside buy
ing of consequence. Until tho railroad
labor dispute trends toward moro
amicable settlement and the American
crop outlook forcshadows more definite
improvement, it is hardly likely for any
one to inaugurate q bull market"

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
LOOK YOUNG. BRING BACK ITS
NATURAL COLOR, GLOSS AND
ATTRACTIVENESS.

Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and iuxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a reve-
lation If your hair is fading, streaked
or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and
sulphur recipe at home. though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
a 50-cent bottle Of Wyeth's Sage and
sulphur at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old time recipe
improved by the addition of other In
gradients
While wispy, gray, raded hair is not
sinful, we all desire 10 retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because It does so nat
urally so evenly. YOU just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair. taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared
and after another application or two
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
glossy, soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is a delightful tot
let requisite and is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention OF
disease

By ELLA WHEELER MILCOX


There are scores of married wo-
men who find the attention of very
young men greeable-women who,
perhaps, have watched the waning of
romance in the eyes of their husbands
and who, after a decade of years, when
lie has seemed verging toward the
commonplace, suddenly realize that
they possess the power to attract some
younger man, and to stir mis- heart
with a feeling stronger than friend
ship.
Almost every woman possessed OF
any mental or physical charms has
had the opportunity for such an ex-
Too often this opportunity has been
seized, and the youth has been led
on to make a young fool of himself,
which tiatters the woman's vanity,
while she has been quite unconscious
that she herself was playing an old
role of an older fool.
occasionally woman possesses the
good sense and the pride and the
self-respect to curb impulses of the
too romantic youth before they de-
Nelop too far, and to change him from
an adoring swain into a delightful
friend.
One such man tells of the treatment
received at the hands of a married
woman with whom he became nope
lesSly in love, shortly after leaving
college; and he shows her letter.
written in answer to an impassioned
missive which he sent 70 ner one
night after sitting beside her at
dinner.
Not till years afterward did he
show the letter-for when it was first
received, it hurt his pride and
wounded his vanity.
Here are some extracts from her
letter-a letter which it might he
well for many a woman to copy and
use in similar situations:
II happen to be a woman whose
heart life is complete, wrote the
lady, Il have realized my dreams.
and | have no desire to change them
to Nightmares. 1 like the original role
in life's drama, too; and that of the
really happy and well-behaved wife
seems to me less hackneyed than that
of the misunderstood woman who
needs a friend.
Z find the steady flame of one
lamp better to read lifes meaning by
than the fiaring light of many can
dies. You are passing through
phase which comes to nearly every
youth. You are in love with love, and
your affectionate nature Is in that
transition period where an older
woman appeals 10 you.
Being crude and uniformed, a ma
ture mind and body attract you. Any
middle-aged man of your ucquaint-

ance will tell you that he had SINH
lar experience at your age.
IF you had been thrown with any
other woman just as you have been
thrown with me, the same result
would have followed. So while am
not fiattered by your FEELING for me-
knowing it to be no tribute to my
attractions. l am glad, for your sake
that it was myself and not some less
happy or more selfish woman who
would have allowed you to proceed
along the path of youthful folly.
Few boys of twenty-five are capa-
BILE of knowing what they want in a
life companion. and ten years from
now your ideal will nave utterly
changed.
When you say that you wish you
had met me when l was free, 1 am
obliged to smile for when I was free
you were rolling a hoop along the
pavement and wearing knickerbock-
ers.
IF l were free now, think how ri
diCulous ii would make you and me. to
have you an acknowledged lover.
How shortly you would awaken from
your illusion-which you call love
and see me as l am, twelve years
your senior.
Men of your age have married
women OF my age. and for a year or
two, perhaps. they have been happy
but when the man reached my age
and the woman was still dozen years
his senior, the man was miserable
and the woman wretched, almost in
variably.
1T is an unnatural situation; and
you want to thank God and me that
it is an impossible one for you.
Your heart will no ooupt eXpe-
rience many loves before you find the
mate intended for YOU by rne Divine
Power.
DO not take yourself or your
youthful passions too seriously, and
do not let yourself be compromised
by a married woman; and do not al
low yourself to compromise one.
You will find many restless wives
ready and willing to take the roman
tic attentions of a handsome youth;
but they are not women VINO will be
worthy influences in your lire.
Put this letter away and keep it
until you can write and thank me
for it; you will be able to do this in
time.
DO not answer 1t; and when we
meet be my good sensible friend. and
one l can introduce to my husband
for only such do 1 care to KNOW"
1t was after the young man was
happily married that he showed this
letter to his friends and permitted
these extracts to be given to the
world.

Nan of Music Mountain, by Frank
n. Spearman, author of Whispering
Smith" (Charles Scribners Sons,
S1.35 metz
Nothing better has been done in
reproduction of the life of the frontier
West, the life that is rapidly passing
with the advance of civilization. 1t
is a story with thrills in every chapter
a masterpiece of vivid portraiture, an
epic of the wild western hills. The
heroine is a member OF an outlaw
family and her love for a man whose
life is devoted to eXtermineting her
clan is the central theme of an
absorbing story. There is not a dull
page in the book.
The Violin Lady, by Daisy Rhodes
Campbell. CThe Page Company, Bos-
TOM
The "vioin Lady is a young Am
erican artist who is studying in Paris.
Having completed her course she
goes to London on a concert tour, ac-
companied by a young friend who is
gifted with a remarkable voice. Her
masculine admirers are many and
varied, but she eludes them all and
returns to Paris to find her true
love" awaiting her. Although hailed
by all the critics as a genius, she
reaches the conclusion that marriage
is her destiny and so marTies her
lover and comes back to America.
It must be admitted that while the
book is pleasant and harmless, it is un-
convincing and quite uninteresting in
spots. The story is a mere success
sion OF incidents, lacks cohesiveness
and force and portrays characters
that are unreal and artificial. The
redeeming characteristic is the eVi-
dent knowledge of music which the
author shows.
