ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

The annual occurrence of the natal
day Of Abraham Lincoln brings to our
mind hope, enthusiasm and loyalty to
our democratic form Of government,
where any or every man may aspire to
reach the highest Office in the gift Of a
free people This immortal character
was living example of what loWly
depths one may climb to reach the mer-
tied honors that only a democracy can
offer. Lincoln was the personification
of the representative men who have
guided the young republic for nearly
two centuries. His life character and
honesty should be held up to our young
Americans that this is true greatness.
Lincoln was born lowly and homely, in
abiect poverty with no educational ia
ciiitiss, IN the back woods Of La Rue
county KY. He was seemingly shut
out from all the American civilization
and yet from those meager surround
ings came forth Abraham Lincoln. That
rail splitter, that barefooted, tow
headed boy who lowered above
all his predecessors, become pres
ident, emancipated a race, saved
our Union and preserved the old
flag. Each century has its really great
man. The 18th century had her George
Washington, the 18th century had her
Abraham Lincoln, and the 10th Century
had her Theodore Roosevelt.
Boda Mckee Of Clinton, Iowa, was a
week end guest at the home of Mrs.

8. d. RIRr CLUB.

One year ago today, Feb. Z, the s. l.
Brit Club was organized by Mrs. lzora
Mackey, with three other ladies, Mrs
Alex Griffith. Mrs. Ethel Williams and
Mrs. Rubenia Harper. The club now
has membership of So cooperative
members.
Mrs. Mackey ia to be highly congrat-
ulated for her faithfulness and her
noble work, for it is wonderful indeed
to know that in so short time she with
her co-workers have raised over seven
hundred dollars, also furnished the pas
tor s study. She surely had the poet
in mind,
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sand of time
AS this is her mission, doing great
and noble things, we know there are
missions for others. May she ever be
able to press forward and continue in
this good work.
The officers and members take this
method in thanking the many friends
for their support in the past year, for
we hope to make this new year equally
as successful, if not better, and in the
near future we hope to give birthday
party in honor of our anniversary, hop
ing every friend and member of S. L..
Brit Club will be with us.
Yours for service and success,
S. L. Brit Club.

PAuMIST IS HERE
 WHO PREDICTED THE WAR

Madame Renio, palmist, astrologist and seeress, arrived in Juneau from Ketchikan last night and will remain here for the next two weeks.
 Madame Renio, who has made her home in Fairbanks for the past four teen years, is on her way south foI hcr health. While in her Interior home, Madame Renio made a pro rhesy in the second week of the world war that America would ul timately be involved with the other warning nations. In the Fairbanks Daily Citizen of December 27, 1917 appeared her prophecy in which she said that the war would not end un til 1919 and that the brunt of the bat tie was yet to be borne by the Am ericans.
 She is staying at the Zynda Hotel.

SAGE AND SULPHUR
 DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Its Grandmother's Recipe To Re store Color. Gloss and
 Attractiveness

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com pounded, 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 by asking at any drug store for I"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, at small cost.
 Don't stay gray Try it! No one can possibly tell that you dark ened your hair, as it does it so na- turally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time: by morning the gray hair disappears. and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark. glossy and attractive.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com poung is a delightful toilet requis- fte for those who desire dark hair and a youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitiga- tion or prevention of disease.

MONUMENT OF AN IRISH PATRIOT
 HIT BY BULLETS

DUBLIN, Aug. 6.-Examination has just revealed that in the shoot ing which took place on the streets of Dublin Easter week in 1918, the great O'Connell monument was penetrated by eight or nine bullets.
 A proposal has been made that the damage be repaired. The City Engineer, however, has advised that the bullet holes do not involve any risk to the monument, are invisible unless attention is specially drawn to them, and in the future will have considerable historical interest. Accordingly, the corporation has de- cided that the monument shall re- main as it is.
