THE BASIS OF SUCCESS.

The American boys heart swels at the thought OF
success He dreams dreams in which he sees hse1 te
center of an applaudng multitude He magnes hlmsel1
popular military or naval hero, or else powerful
statesman or a commanding capitalist He reads lmpos-
sble tales of boys who accomplish things that few men
can do But meanwhile he is taking steps leading to
any exceptional career.
The fame attained by the late General Frederick
Funston, who has been well known as any American
soldier of the present generation illustrates about how
fame and exceptional success to man. Funston
made his reputation by capturing Aguinaldo. 1t was
daring attempt when he and his small company ventured
into the rebel chiefs village Most would have said
it was impossible But Funston had the courage, the
lerve the determination, and he did it.
In ordinary life the seeker for is not asked
risk his life. He need not risk even his health All ne
las to do is show grit and ndomtabe perseverance,
He has got keep on keeping on the poet sad aft
r other people have become discouraged.
The world is full of the 1T can't be DONE spirit:
Everyone finds plenty of opportunities for growth and
expansion In every business position there is higher
success that can be achieved Some going to achieve
it, But requires devotion to duty, concentration OF
ones mind and persistence in the face of obstacles,
which most people unwilling to give.
Most people look the obstacles over they baffled
by them for time, and then they quit large success
means long fight Only those who game for per-
sstent struggle get far Success is not matter OF
luck usually of exceptional genius, but often 1t
is merely the gift Of sticking to a thing

Fine Comedy at Palace Tonight.

You can have a good laugh and
also see the final episode of the
great American serial, Liberty
A five-part feature comedy made
by the Famous Players will also be
shown.
"The Smugglers,' as the title sug-
gests. is a strong melodrama with an
abundance of robberies, escapades,
apprehensions and other thrilling ad-
ventures.
Sidney Olcott, who has supervised
the production of this comedy, has
carried out the laughable qualities
of the plot with a perfectly balanced
Judgment and artistic conception of
relative value. The story contains a
long series of complicated events,
each having a wealth of rich, whole
some humor. From New York, the
story continues on to London and
Paris, gaining momentum as it pro-
crosses geographically, until the
Journey is retraced, finally winding
up in a grand climax in New York
harbor.

FEW FOLKS have
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull
and lifeless, is caused by a lack Of
sulphur in the hair. Our grandmoth-
er made up mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to keep her locks dark
and beautiful, and thousands of wom-
en- and men who value that even color,
that beautiful dark shade of hair
which is so attractive, use only this
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of
ether ingredients by asking at any
drug store for 50-cent bottle of
'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
cound," which darkens the hair so
naturally, so evenly, that nobody can
possibly tell it has been applied. You
just dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears; but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is that, besides beautifully
aarkening the hair after few ap-
rlications, it also brings back the
gloss and lustre and VICES it an ap-
pearance of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful ap-
pearance to the hair. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease. 90
