AN OLD RECIPE ID DARKEN HAIR Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
 Gfay, Faded Hair Dark and Glossy

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur. properly compound ed, 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 1t at home, which is mussy and troublesome.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" You will get large bottle of this old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients, at very little cost. Everybody uses this preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair. as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another -ap- plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger.-Adv.

THE SKELETON KEY"

By Bernard Capes. George H. Doran Company, publishers New York city. It is interesting but often unprofita- ble to speculate on what might have happened if this or that event In our lives had happened otherwise. If Hugh for instance, had returned from the hunt by another path, or if he had left his gun behind him. or If one could
 have told just when the shot was heard perhaps the murder of beautiful Annie Evans might have been mode speedily cleared up without so much effort on the part of the famous Sergeant Ridge- way from Scotland Yard or so much mutual suspicion on the part of the various guests assembled at the Hall. Baron Le Sage of doubtful fame might
 have gone on playing chess. and pretty Audrey's love affairs might not have become so tangled. But it's just as well as 1t Is, perhaps, for the result or all these complications Is thoroughly exciting detective story, that keeps one awake far later than is at all pru- dent It Is a good story, well con- ceived and worked out with great at- tention to detail and satisfactory ex- planation. It should bring joy to the heart of the earnest seeker after that rare bird, a good detective story. THE HERMIT OF FAR END"
 By Margaret Pedler. George H. Doran Company, publishers, New York city. In the present passion for realism sin
 fiction, as well as in other arts, 1t Is pleasant to find novel which Is of the
 essence of romance dealing with TO-
 mantle events in the lives of its char
 acters and bringing them to trium-
 phantly romantic end in which both
 they and the reader, whose sympathies
 they have won, rejoice.
 Mrs. Margaret Pedler, the author Of "The Hermit of Far End" recently
 came into great popularity in England
 upon the publication of "The Splendid
 Folly" This latest story Is essentially
 English in plot and setting. being a
 tale of the regeneration of an English
 army officer who leaves the army in
 disgrace and plans to spend the rest or
 his life as much like hermit as IS
 possible in these modern days. His
 plans go for naught when the heroine invades his melancholy abode and fin-
 ally brings about his reinstatement in
 society.
 For all its romance the novel is
 solid piece of work. with carefully
 handled characterization and a sub-
 stantial modern background.

Was Mainly Political

Early manifestations Of the labor
feeling in the United States were 20
litical. In 1870 workingmen's ticket
was placed In nomination In New
York. This political movement spread
into Pennsylvania and Massachusetts,
and contributed to the formation Of
the Loco Foco party which played an
important part 10 the politics Of that
period. Political organization FASTENED

In 1888 the General Trades union Of
the city Of New York elected its presI.

pOrtant labor organizations which ap

until the end Of the Civil war man,
trades unions Of the narrower kind
were formed. During this period
many trade union leaders character
lied the trade union as exclusive and
warmly advocated the formation OF
broader organizations which would
elevate the masses by other means
than the strike and the regulation OF
apprenticeship. In 1860 their efforts
resulted IN the formation of the Ma.
