THEY WERE FRIENDS
UNTIL WAR CAME UP

Sam Czech and Nick Tedovanich met
in the Workingman's bar last night
after an absence of several months.
When Sam appeared In the doorway
Nick threw his arms around him. 1t
was like the return Of the prodigal.
Nick lead Sam to the bar, then Sam
reciprocated. Nick. being SO glad to
see Sam. decided that 1t was time he
should buy another drink. and Sam
did likewise.
Finally they began to talk, of gen.
eralities and the war was included.
Now 1t seems that Nick had very
decided ideas about the war and in a
few moments It developed that Sam
had some opinions that did not entirely
coincide with Nick's.
At any rate q heated argument re-
suited and Sam decided to show how
much he knew about actual warfare
Nick was keen for the battle and be
fore Officer Peterson arrived both men
were badly mussed up.
Now Nick is in the city jail and Sam
is out on $40 bail until Monday morn
ing. when both, will tell just how II
happened.

Gray, Faded Hair with
Sage Tea.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect. BY asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get a large
bottle of this old time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients
all ready to use, at very little cost
This simple mixture can be depended
upon " restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
A well-known down. town druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because 1t
darkens SO naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell 1t has been applied
It's SO easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw 1t through your hair. taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the gray
hair disappears; after another appli-
cation CIR two, 1t is restored to its
natural color and looks glossy. soft
and beautiful. This preparation Is a
delightful toilet requisite. It Is not
intended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease.-Missoula Drus

High School Masquerade
Is Delightful Function

The masquerade dance given last
night by the junior class of the high
school was one of the gala functions of
the season. If all records of the Co.'S
tunes of different nations should be
lost, they could have been reproduced
from the masquerade of last evening.
There were "yama yama" suits beside
costumes ranging from that of the
cowboy to that of the English gentle
man. Tramp walked with dude. cow
boy with cavalryman, witch with
Turkish aristocrat and Indian with
Japanese. The music was lively and
as the young people fitted around the
room in their bright colors, they made
a pretty picture. An inch of confetti
on the floor testified to the spirit of
the crowd. At the close of the dance
ice cream and cake were served.
Misses Rich. Shuart. Wright. Book.
