WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1916V PAGE TWO LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER You Can Waste Money on Shoes as Quickly as on Anything perhaps more so, for what looks like leather often proves to be a "horse of another color." For this very reason we are overly particular about our shoes. Above all else, sound and. solid leather must enter into the making of every pair. Let this be your shoe store in the future and you will always be satisfied.

Corbett, "Pompadour Jim," is tho attraction today in tho stirring melodrama "The Burglar and the Lady," and judging from advance notices the play has as much "punch" as Jim had when he won his way to the championship of the world. He can be seen today only as tomorrow he will be followed by the master of rough and tumble fighters, William Farmim in the "Battle of the Hearts." LEIGHTON'S GARAGE La Grande, Oregon.

With Bessie Barriscale, Shows Actress Play- ! ing an Actress A play within a play is the dramatic medium through which Thomas H. Ince helps to develop logically the plot upon which he has built his newest Triangle play, "The Last Act," in which Bessie Barriscale is starred, and which comes to the Arcade Thursday only. , Miss Barriscale is an actress who obtains a good part when she needs it most and thereby gains great sue cess and attendant social recognition. Into her life comes a prosperous law yer, whose wife neglects him for her charities. It is by reproducing part of tho play in which his star appears that Ince reveals to her the folly and con soquences of permitting a continua tion of her relations with the lawyer. Her faithful maid knows them and warns the wife of the lawyer. The latter comes to see tho actress, who recognizes her as a woman who had previously befriended her. She is moved to give up her admirer in a spirit of sacrifice but hesitates until through her mind passes the great cli max of her play. She sees what hap pens to the triangle in that make-be lieve world and hesitates no longer. She even goes so far as to show the wife how easy it is to regain her hus- 1 It- 1 1 i! . . . i uanu s love; less time given to outside , i charities and more to making a happy j J home and congenial companion for her 1 1 husband. J Donkey Balks at Yiddish. ji Philadelphia, July 31. Accustomed, to oticy orders given in a broad Irish brogue, a jackass owned by a South- street tailor recently resented com- mands given in Yiddish. As a result 10 seamen on the British steamship Ascot, lying at Girard Point, nearly lost their best suits of clothing. Joe Wanger, who conducts a tailor shop in South street, and whose store is largely patronized by seagoing men, recently decided to advertise fhis 1 business more widely. He conclud- j J ed to buy a pack mule to transport i his wares to steamships and to swing j signs on each side of the mule. Two j J or three days ago he learned that at 1 1 Friedman's livery stables, in Bain- j J bridge street, there were two or three ' i jackasses for sale cheap and he decid-! ed to buy a jackass instead of a pack ! Trillin 'nViiaca i'nilaecni: mni-n esilsl - " Friedman by an Irish contractor. Wanger sent his agent, Asher Wen- J kos, to Girard Point for orders from men on the Ascot. Wenkos was or dered to ride the jackass. Before , J leaving the store Wanger saw that : i his signs hung suspended on either J side of the beast. The little animal ! i leisurely made his way to Girard ! Point. On the return trip Wenkos, i ' eager to make better time, in excited i Yiddish ordered the beast to hit up , J a more lively gait. When the animal ! I refused to step faster Wenkos gave him a jab in the ribs with ihis heel. This caused the signs to strike on the donkey's legs "fore and aft." In less time than it takes to narrate what followed Wenkos was lying on the asphalt some 20 feet from his mount and 10 suits of clothes were scattered over the immediate landscape. Wenkos was discovered lying along side the road with his ankle broken by Thomas Grace, master stevedore at Girard Point. Grace placed Wen kos in his automobile and took him home. Wenkos says that Wanger must get rid of the jackass or there will be a vacancy for a tailor's agent at tihe South-street establishment. e xea ana oaipnur lunui Gray, Faded Hair Dark and. Glossy. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea nnrl Snlnllnr nrnnprlv Mmnnunripri. brings back the natural color and lustre j to the liair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." You will get a large bottle of this old time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients for abomt 50 cents. Everybody uses this prepara tion 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 a time! by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another appli cation or two, your hair becomes beauti fully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger. Wycth'g Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure. mitigation or prevention of disease. Use our Want Ad column. ! IflbnIRTeJoRSETS !f P TCP T a F. E.
