PUSSIBILITiES.

IF certain lands would fill their
purses instead of breeding contro-
versies; and IL they'd go to work
replacing and quit the job OF rain
bow chasing; and if they'd be less
wild and scrappy, they might be
militant and happy and climb the
shining heights of glory and ever
live in song and story. II certain
lands would wake from dreaming,
and certain others quit their
scheming: and if they'd all get
good and busy and strike a gait
that's keen and dizzy. they might
build up the war-waste places and
greet the world with smiling faces.
If certain groups and populations
would cease their foolish agita-
tons: and if they'd learn TO be
less narrow, and boost the hoe and
pillow and harrow. instead Of boost
ing hate and treason, they might
provide for wintry season; and Il
they'd quit each other carving.
they'd have more food and less of
starving. If certain chimes would
do less fighting, and other chimes
less blatherskiting and if all
chimes and tribes and nations
would shake off their accumula-
lions OF moss and prejudice and
blindness, how vast the scope for
growth and kindness.

Mr.. Skinner just then became silent
ly engrossed in the task of gluing on
Colonel Brideaus fierce mustache, and
watched with absorbed interest
in the operation. Then with delicate
brushwork he tinted his nose red. a
remorseless indication of the colonel's
convivial habits, and added o disrep-
utable looking scar to one cheek.
"Balzac describes Colonel Brideau in
great detail in the story from which
the play was made as an extremely
unpresentable looking person. He was
filthy in his linen, and, moreover, quite
bald. Well, since we were making n
hero out Of him we had to make a few
concessions to public taste, so we
cleaned him somewhat and retained
only his least Objectionable points. We
could not ignore, however, all of the
signs of his ill-spent life," said Mr..
Skinner, as he finished an evil-looking
patch on his chin and rose. "Brideau

Grandmother kept her hair beau- tifully darkened, glossy and attrac- tive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took con that dull, faded or streaker appear ance this simple mixture was ap- piled with wonderful effects. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound," you will get 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 depend, ed upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been ap- plied-it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen comb or soft brush and draw it thru your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after an- other application or two, it is re- stored to it's natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful. Adv.
