EASTER HUNT AT RHODES
 PARK PRETTY AFFAIR

EVerybOdys praylnE TOT pretty weather today. At least, all those interested in Easter Hunts. Next to Christmas and picnic season. there's S nothing half so exciting as a scurried search for these gorgeously colored eggs, which Bre'r Rabbit knows how to hide so cunningly among the leaves under vines or perhaps right under your nose, if you'd only been watching.
 The hunt at Rhodes park. which will be given by band No. of the St. Pauls Altar society, will be a very elaborate affair, with Easter novelties and candies as extra at- fractions.
 The egg hunt will begin at 3 o'clock and every kiddie in Birming ham is urged to come.

"One Trick aDay"
TO TELL THE DATE ON A BOR-
 BOWED COIN.

This is universally supposed to be one of the best parlor tricks in ex- istence.
 The performer. while blindfolded. asks a spectator to hand him a half dollar. and after he receives 1t he states that he will guess the date on the coin. He drops it on the table, instantly naming the date thereon.
 To perform the trick you must have duplicate coin, the date of which you know, palmed in your right hand. As you take the bor- rowed coin between your finger and thumb, exchange it for the one you have palmed. You now state the date on the duplicate, which upon eXaml- nation is found to be correct.
 This trick is rarely. if ever. de- tected. and always produces sen sation.

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and
Lustre With Sage Tea
and Sulphur

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell,
because it's done so naturally, SO
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trou-
blesome At little cost you can buy
at any drug store the ready-to-use
preparation, improved by the addition
of other ingredients called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" You
just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time. BY morning all gray hair dis
appears, and after another apAlica-
ton or two. your hair becomes beau
tifully darkened. glossy and luxuriant.
Gray. faded hair, though no dis
grace. is a sign of old age and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance. get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and SulI 4ur Compound
and look years younger.--Advertise

Brewster's Reply.

Benjamin II. Brewster, attorney
general in President Arthur's
cabinet, had the misfortune Of
having a badly SCARED face, caus-
led by an accident when a small
child. 1t is said that only one per-
son was sufficiently low-down to
taunt him about his affection. This
unhappy incident occurred during
the trial of a case in Philadelphia.
Brewster was then the leading
counsel for the Pennsylvania rail
road, aid conducted the case so
brilliantly that the opposing coun-
sci lost control Of himself and
brutality shouted: SoThis grasping
corporation is as dark, devious and
scarifed as is the face of It's chief
attorney, Benjamin Brewsterl'
This wild burst of objectionable
rage was followed by several
moments of painful silence. The
Judge, the attorneys, the attend
ants and the people in the audi
ence were dumbfounded and
heartily ashamed. All present
gazed with plying eyes on the
Scared face of Brewster. Never
before in his long public career
had any person mentioned his mis-
fortune IN his presence.
Brewster slowly arose from his
chair, and said: "Your honor. in
all my career as a lawyer, ! have
never dealt in personalities, nor
did ] ever before feel called upon
to explain the cause of my physical
misfortune, but ! will do so now.
When boy-and my mother, God
bless her, said was pretty boy
when little boy, while playing
around an open fire one day with
a little sister, just beginning to
toddle, she fell into the roaring
flames. | rushed to her rescue,
pulled her out before she was ser
iously hurt, and l fell into the fire
myself. When they took me out of
the Goals my face was as black as
that mans heart. "
The effect was like an electrical
shock. Brewster was applauded,
and the foul-tongued lawyer was
roundly Kissed. 1t is said that his
presence in Philadelphia became
so undesirable that he soon
changed his residence to distant
section of the country.

Why Boys Leave the Farm.

script: "Not many fathers of this

don't you think this worth re-

Why did you leave the farm, my

And turn your poor old father

Thinkers of platform, pulpit, press

They seek to know the hidden
cause
Why farmer boys desert their pas.
Some say they long to get taste
of faster life and social waste;
And some will say the silly chumps

AGAINST the smoky thoroughfare.
