AN OLD RECIPE "
TO DARKEN HAIR
Common Garden Sage and Sulphur
Makes Streaked, Faded or Gray
Hair Dark and Youthful at Once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray. 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 Sulphur
Compound" You will get large bottle
of this old time recipe improved by the
addition of other in gradients for about
so cents. Everybody uses this prepara-
tion now, because 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 q time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another sppli-
cation or two, your hair becomes beauti-
fully dark, thick and glossy and you
look years younger. Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound is delightful toilet
requisite. It 10 not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.

THE TREE OF MY LIFE.

When I was yet but a child, the
gardener gave me tree,
A little slim elm, to be set wherever
seemed good to me.
What a wonderful thing it seemed
with its lace-edge leaves I'M
curled,
And its span-long stem, that should
grow to the grandest tree In
the world!
So I searched all the garden round,
and out over field and hill,
But not a spot could I find that suited
my hayward will.
l would have 1t powered in the grove,
in a close and quiet vale;
I would rear it aloft on the height, to
wrestle with the gale.
Then said, 'T will cover its roots
with little earth by the door,
And there it shall live and wait, while
search for a place once
more"
But still could never find it, the
place for my wonderful tree,
And It waited and grew by the door,
while the years passed over me;
Till suddenly, one fine day, I saw
it was grown too tall,
And its roots gone down too deep, to
be ever moved at all,
So here it is growing still, by the
lowly cottage door;
Never So GRAND and {aIl as Jra,-oo3
it would be of yore,
But it shelters tired old man in its
sunshine-shaped shade,
The children's pattering feet round its
motty knees have played,
Dear singing birds in a storm some
times take refuge there,
And the stars through its silent
boughs shine gloriously fair.

LEGENDS OF THE BIRDS AS
TOLD FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN

The Public Schools of Pensacola
are planning to observe Bird Day.
The children may be interested in
the following report of Mrs. Julia A.
Hanson, chairman of Bird Protection
of the Federation of Women's Clubs:
The department Of bird protection
is in many ways unique, and stands
widely separated from the other
groups of subjects fostered by our
beloved Florida Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs; all the other depart
ments are for human interest, and
betterment, while that under my
charge, stands for the care of some
Of the most beautiful, and alas, often
the most helpless of Gods creatures.
We have scriptural authority for
our care Of the birds; and again
and again, symbols of our Fathers
love and watchfulness over US are
drawn from the familiar instances of
the tender vigilance of a bird for
her nestlings. Amongst the divine
ordinances given through Moses to
the Israelites, several may be found
nculcating kindness and protection
for the BIRDS their eggs and their
meats-we are assured of a "refuge
under the feathers of the Almighty"
and He has promised to 'fbear us in
safety on his wings, even as the eagle
beareth her young ones" Our Sa-
viour, In mourning over Jerusalem,
fore-seeing the unparalleled niseries
that would befall her, hkens his pro-
tecting love to the ready affection
Of hen, who, at the approach of
danger, gathers her chicks under her
wings, where they may rest in Sc
curity and comfort.
Then there are no more exquisite
legends than those concerning our
feathered frfends-the Robin, who
gained his gorgeously colored breast,
by lowering. with outspread wings,
over the dying Saviour, endeavoring
to shield Him from the ardent rays
Of the burning Eastern Sun. The
woodpecker, whose scarlet head, his
crown of glory, was gained by the
sweet assiduity with which he labored
to remove the torturing nails from
ibe cross, and to pluck out the cruel
horns that pressed so agonizingly
upon the Sacred brow. The other
pretty legend of the woodpeckers,
Aat the crimson crest was bestowed
as guerdon for their loving fight
rom the wilderness, to the Temple
at Jerusalem, whence they craftily
distracted pieces of the shew-bread,
which they carried in their tiny
Sraks over many weary miles, until
they reached the borders of the Dead
Sea, and laid their pious offering at
the feet of the fainting Saviour.
And the little phoebe, whose mate
vas blown from their nest by a VIC
Tent gale, but who still seeks her,
summer and winter, north and south,
luttering ever his plaintive cry of
Phoebe phoebe" Between our
Selves, ladies, and as a profound Sc
Fret tfor I never gossip they say,
that Mr.. Phoebe brings each year
lair companion with him; so, maybe,
ds broken heart finds comfort in re-
placing the dear departed-as do
sonic other disconsolate widowers.

The histories of "Cock Robin and
Jenny Wren," and the cherry pie, and

SHAKESPEARE's DREAM OF
FAIR WOMEN


FAIR WOMEN.
In view of the Shakespeare tercen-
tenary celebration to take place dur
ing April in Pensacola the following
account of what the Woman's Club
of Jacksonville is doing along this
line will be read with much interest:
In keeping with the Shakespearian
observance being noticed throughout
the country the literary class Of the
Woman's Club gave a beautiful and
most interesting program yesterday
afternoon at the club in the form of
"Shakespeare's Dream of Fair Wo-
men,"
At $50 o'clock the program began.
The first number was group Of
songs from CAS- You Like It., includ-
ing (a) ut Was a Lover and His
Lass" (Thomas Morley; OBJ elbow,
Blow, Thou Winter Wind" (Dr.
"Arne); (b) 'sigh No More, Ladies'"
Arne), From the Tempest" (a)
"Where the Bee Sups," (Dr. Arne);
OBJ "Sigh No More, Ladies'" (R. J.
F. Stevens.) These pretty songs were
charmingly rendered by Mrs. W. e.
Adams, whose voice is always en-
joyed by her hearers.
Mrs. Isadore Zacharias, who read
with much sympathy and expression,
gave short readings from Shakes.
peare which were illustrated by wo-
men in costumes. The first one was
Portia, Miss Hilda Russell, In cap and
gown.
| Then came Mrs. James Y. Wilson
as the Queen in Hamlet in her royal
robes of velvet and ernine.
Miss Eleanor Brodnax followed as
Juliet.
Mrs. Edward O'Donnen was a typi-
cal Jeanne Dare and Miss Louise
Clark made a charming Cordelia in
her gown of rich yellow satin and
draperies of white satin and marabou.
Miss Gladys Baker was a lovely
Ophelia in her white gown with love
ly fair hair adorned with flowers. It
was very difficult role to fill out, but
Miss Baker was excellent.
One of the most attractive scenes
was Tetania and Puck. Misses Eliza
beth Dial as Tetania and Master
White as Puck danced gayly about
the stage.
The scene Of Cleopatra and her at
tendants was most elaborate and very
effective. Mrs. C. S. Young was a
stunning Cleopatra as she recIined on
her couch hung with oriental dra-
peries and a tiger skin. Crouching
by her side was her favorite slave,
Charmion, depicted by Miss Muriel
Bland. Two small Egyptian slaves,
Masters Heuling Davis and Findlay
Young, in appropriate costumes,
famed their mistress with Peacock
fans while at either side of the couch
were urns in which incense burned.
Mr.. Hirsch loaned and arranged the
set for this scene, which was one of
the best of its kind ever seen in Jack
sonville, Mrs. w. S. Lining then
played ''Hark, Hark, the Lark" most
delightfully."- on the piano.
This was followed by vocal solo
by Miss Dorothy Brown, accompanied
by Mrs. Louise Berini. Miss Brown
sings very sweetly and gave ''Nymphs
and Fauns" and 81 Breath Thy
Name"
At the close of the program, which
ranks among the most interesting
given at the club, a social hour was
enjoyed, dainty refreshments being
served. Presiding over the punch
bowl were Mrs. C. S. Young and Miss
Louise Clark, while Mrs. Edward
O'Donald and Miss Eleanor Brodnax
poured coffee.
