SAGE TEA KEEPS
 YOUR HAIR DARK
When Med With Sulphur It Brings Back Its Beau
 tiful Lustre at Once

Gray hair, however handsome, de- notes advancing age. We all know the advantages of a youthful appear ance. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray and looks streaked, just a few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances it's appearance a hundredfofd.
 Don't stay gray! Look young! Either prepare the recipe at home or get from any drug store a bottle of 'Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com pound," which is merely the old time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients. Thousands of folks recommend this ready -to-use prepara- tion, because it darkens the hair beau tifully, besides, no one can possibly tell, as it darkens so naturally and evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair taking one small strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two it's natural color is restored and it becomes thick, glossy and lus- trous, and you appear years younger. --Adv.

He proved to be a corporal of the Eighty y-eighth infantry and very drunk. He was also very pugnacious as he promptly punched the eommandant in the face
 Before the courtmartial the corporal presented such a poor defence that spectators thought he would receive stiff sentence. General Estienne in- tervened in his behalf. saving the cor porai probably could not see the stars on the commandant's uniform," although other stellar consultations might have been visible to him. The corporal escaped with three months and General Estienne asked that the law of amnesty be applied.
 General Estienne is the inventor of French armored cars and is considered as one of :he greatest living experts on tanks"

 Evidence of that was conspicuously ap- parent at the brewers exhibition, which opened today. One Of it's features was the

 BIC PRICES FOR FURNITURE
 l looked in the other day at the sale of the furniture belonging to the late presi- dent of the Royal Academy, Sir Edward Poynter. which was sold from his house in Addison road, Kensington. He had some wonderful specimens of Chippendale furniture which fetched very considerable sums. There were six beautiful mahog- any chairs, for instance, that went for $225 each, and four others that seemed to me equally attractive, that fetched S125 apiece. One carved mahogany easy chair also by Chippendale. brought nearly s6o0 and a mahogany settee of the same maker, which had carved legs and claw feet and a stamped velvet covering brought the big sum of $270o Nowadays the most extraordinary prices are being paid in England for furniture, both old and modern, and few people, unless they me war rich' are able to afford the lux ury of refurnishing.

 MONARCHS ALL OVER PLACE
 London has been having a tremendous ly busy time lately with all the monarchs who have been visiting us. The traffic for the past week or 10 days has been held up at all sorts of points and at the most fnconvenient 1hmes and passage along the streets has been a matter of patience and perseverance. When you inquire the cause of all this delay, the answer from the patient and long sui fering policeman is that the King of Spain, or the Shah of Persia. or Queen Maud of Norway, or some such exalted mortal is "hoding up the passage of ordinary folks.
 l must say that l found the presence of that most plump and precious eastern po- entate. the Shah, a special inconven- fence During the two or three days of his presence in this city his round. smi

It was very interesting, as a member of the public, to see the Shah drve once through the city streets but ones patience became exhausted when this vision of serenely smiling pumpness recurred again and again. Whenever I saw him he was smiling and never talk ing. Apparently he aud poor young Albert. who went everywhere with him, sat side by side in motors and carriages, never exchanging a word
 The Shahs smile can only he equaled by that of the famous Cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland He smiles and salutes with more earnest industry than any other royal parsonage I have ever seen. He has funny way of holding his fat, whte-gloved hand against his plump yellowish cheek in an attitude that I fancy means a salute.

AMERICAS DEBT
TO LAFAYETTE
Washington Paid Tribute
to Great Services
Rendered.

WY HEN the Revolution began
KAI Americans were still pio-
w neers and straight shooters.
The country was full of men
who had seen service In war against
the French and Indians. Washington
had been all his life soldier. 1t is
not surprising that American officers
felt quite able to handle the military
situation without assistance from the
host Of applicants for commissions
from abroad. Therefore when Wash
ington heard that young Frenchfhan
named Lafayette had left his wife and
child and crossed the ocean to serve
the American cause as a volunteer
without pay. he muttered: zone more
incumbrance." But Lafayette pleaded: /:
"Give me a chance; do not want to
be an honorary soldier"
He went to Washington's camp and
there began a friendship which ran
through SO many years like an idyl. In
17SS Brissot visited Washington at Mt
Vernon with letter from Lafayette.
