Beauty
Is desired and admired by all. Among
the things which may best be done to
enhance personal
beauty Is the daily
use of Ayer's Hail
Vigor. No mattei
what the coler: ol
the hair, this prepa
ration gives it a lus
tre and pliancy that
adds greatly to its
charm. Should the
liair be thin, harsh,
dry , or turning gray,
Ayer's Hair Vigor
will restore the
color, bring out a
new growth, and
render the old soft and shiny. For
keeping the scalp clean, cool, and
healthy, there Is no better preparation
in the market.
" T am free to confess that a trial ot
Ayer's Hair Vigor has convinced ma
that it is a genuine article. Its use has
not only caused the hair ot my wife and
daughter to bo
Abundant and Glossy,
but it has riven mv rather stunted mus
tache -a respectable length and appear,
ance." R. Britton, Oakland, Ohio.
"My hair was coming out (without
any assistance from my wife, either).
I tried Ayer's Hair Vigor, using only
one bottle, and I now have as tln ;a
head of hair as any one could wish for."
R. T. Schmittou.'Dickson, Tenu.
" I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor In my
family for a number of years, and re
gard it as the best hair preparation I
know of. It keeps the scalp clean, tlta
hair soft and lively, and preserves the
original color. My wife has used it for
a long time with most satisfactory re
sults." Benjamin M. Johnson, M. D.,
Thomas Hill, Mo.
" My hair was becoming harsh and dry,
but after using half a bottle of Ayer?a
Hair Vigor it grew black and glossy. .1

DROPPING A PEN.
Why Such aa Action Made a Lawyer
Nervous,
A client of a well-known lawyer of
Philadelphia went into tho latter's
otto.ee the other day to sign some im
portant papers. After they had been
read to him and approved, a clerk in
the office, in handing the client a pen
to affix hia signature, dropped it on
the floor. The lawyer himself sprang
from his chair with an exclamation
of alarm, and hurriedly picked up
the pen andjlaced it in his client's
hands.
"The dropping of a pen about to be
used for such a purpose as this."
said the lawyer after the paper had
been signed, "always makes me ner
vous and uncomfortable, for a case
where a delay ot not more than fif
teen seconds, caused by the drop
ping of a pen with which a man was
to sign his name to a will, lost to a
worthy purpose a legacy of S100.000,
always cornea to my mind. That
wasthecaseofH.lt House, one of
the pioneer oil operators on Oil creek,
who made a large fortune early in the
business. He was a native of Warren
comity, and in 1861 his wells were
yielding him a daily income above
the average .man's annual income.
He fall a victim to the first great oil
well fire, when the famons Hawley &
Merrick well began to suddenly spout
oil and gas in such quantities that the
oil ran to waste and flowed over the
ground in all directions and gas filled
the air for a quarter of n -mile around.
A terrible explosion and conflagra
tion followed. The score or more
people who had collected to witness
the then novel sight of. a flowing well
were enveloped in flames, nmong
them- -H.. -R. Bouse. He was
rescued from death in the sea
of flames, by a man named
"Uriah Smiths of Mercer, at the
risk of bis own lire ana at tne cost or
permanent and awful disfigurement.
House was -bo horribly burned that
hia recovery was impossible, and, af
ter being carried to a house near by,
he insisted on making his will. His
eyes were burned to a crisp in their
sooketa, and he was one solid blister
from head to foot, but he lay, without
uttering a moan or complaint, dictat
ing his will, a task that required sev
eral Hours, wnen tne will una oeen
reduced to writincr and read to him
he was. so weak that he could no lon
ger speak, and he motioned for the
pen to sign the document. When tlio
person who had done the writ
ing dipped the pen in the
ink-bottle and was about to place
it in House's hand, ho dropped
it and it rolled under the bed. Not
more than a quarter of a minute had
elapsed before no nau recovered it,
but when it was placed in Rouse's
hand the hand was powerless to uee
It. Tie brave oil prince was deai1.
The will he thus left unsigned be
queathed 100,000 to the poor fund
of Warren county. It also remem
bered the man who had torn the tes
tator -from the burning mass of oil,
who was left a handsome legacy.
Rouae'a heirs, not being legally
bonadto carry out his wishes, repudi
nted.tho moral claims, and Warren
County lost her legacy,, as did the
man who, at the risk of bis own life,
saved the oil prince to his family, at
least for Christian burial. And this
is why the dropping of a pen gives
me a most uncomfortable and nervous
feeling."

A Melbourne paper is responsible

The other day, says this journal, a
South Australian magnate called at
the government house. Ho sent his
card in, and waving the footman
aside, said he would "go up and give
his lordship a surprise." At the top
of the stairs ho met a nice looking
young woman, and in a fine old gen
tlemanly, gallant way, chucked her
under the chin and prossed halt a
crown into her hand, saying at the
same time: "Show me into the pres
ence ot his lordship, my little dear."
The little dear, with an onigmatical
smile, opened the door ot Lord Car
rington's study and said: "Bob here's
a gentleman to seo yon, and" open
ing her hand ''he's given me half n
crown to show him where you nro."
