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.

Newest Triansle Drama. 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

charities and more to making a happy j J
home and congenial companion for her 1 1

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 !

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.

brings back the natural color and lustre j
to the liair when faded, streaked or

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
