 Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product, improved by the addition of ether ingredients, called ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" It is very rcr1lar because nobody can discover 1t has been applied. Simply moisten ynUr comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time by morning she gray hair disappears, but what de- lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound. is that, be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, 1t also pro- educes that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which Is so attractive.

If rumor be true the ghost of the murdered Thomas Beckett is periodically to seen engaged in that last deadly struggle of his with the four miscreant knights at the foot of the altar, and groans and other queer noises are reputcd to be heard on the anniversary of his death. The crime was committed on December 20. ITO and the stains of his blood are believed to be in evidence; no amount of wash. ing ever having effaced them.-Pear' sons Weekly.

 Then Hungry Foxcroft carried on:
 French, I'm going to ask you a mighty personal question, and l know you'll answer it. How in h. did you, hit in the left arm, bring Leftenant Newall back from that reconnoitering patrol?"
 French grew little red, and an swered:
 "Well, you see, boys, 1t was this way. Honney and l stuck out there with him, and, taking the slings from our rifles, Honney made sort of rope which he put around my shoulder and under the arm of the leftenant, and HoDney, getting the leftenant by the legs. we managed to get him into the trench.

 We all turned in Honney's direction. Bill. in his interest, had released his hold on Honney's tunic and Honney had disappeared.
 Happy asked French if the leftenant had died in No Mans land.
 French, with tears in his eyes, an swered:
 No. but the poor lad went west after we got him to the first-aid dress ing station. and next day we buried him in theSlittle cemetery at F'romel- les. He sure done his bit, all right, blime me. and here l am, bloomin' well swanllin' with ribbon on my chest" A dead silence fell on the crowd Each one of Us was admiring the mod esty of those two real men, French and ionney.
