I highly recommend it to my friends. (Signed) ANNIE OAKLEY.” I , Herpicide contains no grease, it will not stain nor^dye.

It is certainly significant that Miss Oakley, the celebrated rifle shot .and theatrical star, who has travelled so extensively abroad, should choose Newbro’s Herpicide as the most effcacious toilet remedy for the >scalp. -No one will doubt her opportunity, to choose the best and those who have seen the natty and win some Miss Oakley, will not doubt her power-of discrimination in matters of this sort. Newbro’s Herpicide is a scientific germicide and prophylactic for the hair and scalp, it destroys the germ or microbe that causes dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair, after which the hair will grow as nature intended. Extraordinary results follow the use of Newbro’s Herpicide. If your hair is dull, brittle or lustreless, don’t wait until it begins to fall, but save it with Newbro’s Herpicide. In addition to its wonderful medicinal qualities, Newbro’s Herpicide is the daintiest and most delightfully refreshing hair dressing available. The first application proves its goodness. Try it. .

Wiggins Talks Interestingly of Bringing First B. & W. Train Into Albany. 24 Years Ago. “Just twenty-four yenrs ago today,” said Capt. H. T. Wiggins, of the At lantic Const Line road, “I brought the first train Into Albany over, the then Brunswick. & Western, but now A. C. L. railroad." “My!” continued the popular con ductor, “how the town has ohanged!" It Is not surprising that these re marks, made within hearing of a Her ald reporter this morning, should have made him prick his ears In anticipa tion of. the good story which he knew Capt. Wiggins was on the point of tell ing, should he be given the proper en couragement. And this encouragement was given by a look of intense inter est that beamed on the news-gath erer’s face and by a ■ few pertinent questions which open the - flood-gates of memory In this .genial railroader, releasing a very deluge of interesting recollections. “Yes, sir,” continued Capt. Wiggins, “I shall never forget that bright April morning, twenty-four years ago today when I brought the first passenger train across the B. ft W. bridge over Flint river. Up to that time the trains had been brought as far as Bast Al bany, but, having no bridge, and not having been able to make any arrange ments to use the S. F. & W. bridge, no B. ft W. passenger train had ever entered Albany. "The bridge had not been finished by any .means when this first train was sent across It, and the next day when I saw the condition of the bridge which I had crossed it mads me shud der. How we ever got over safely Is more than I have been able to figure out till this day. But the running of that train mpant.q, great deal to the B. ft W. road. Several thousand dollars— several hundred thousand dollars, per haps. Some big deal, either in the stocks or the bonds ot the road, was j conditioned upon . the completion of i ostingly to a Herald reporter today, 1b one of the most populai men on the A. C. L. road, both with the patrons and officials ot that line. He has re cently had his lay-over changod from Brunswick to Albany, and will bring his Interesting faiftlly here on the 1st of May. They will occupy the cottage of Mrs. S. D. Jones on Pine street and will be a valuable acquisition to the city. Albany Decorating Co., Paints, Oils, Varnishes, Wall Paper, Burlaps, Room Mouldings.

The streets narrow overhend, push outward with beams and stone bulconles and many turning unglos; seem to looson their,hold for n moment where a bridge crosses a narrow cnnnl between high walls and over dark water and then tighten again In close laues where tlio smells of the shops meet and fume about one's face. The lanes are busy with mou In rough clothes and with women in shawls, bareheaded and with great soft bushes of hair, who coino and go quietly, slipping past one anoth er in these narrow spaces, where there Is hardly room to pass, as the gondolas slip past one another In the nnrrow canals. The road Is difficult to find, for n single wrong turning may lead one to the other end of Venice. This movement, the tangles ot (he way, the continual arresting of one’s .attention by sopie window, doorway or balcony put a strain upon one's eyes nnd begin after a time to tire nnd stupefy the brain. There Is no more bewildering city, and as night cgmes on the be wilderment grows almost disquieting. —Arthur Symons In Scribner’s. OAKLAND HAS ENOUGH PROVISIONS.

Rcfitlnir n Model. Many artists have the reputation of being Inexorable In their demands up on the model's strength. A character istic example appears In an anecdote of tho Into Adolphe Mansel, the Ger man pnlnter, who nt one time was en gaged on a work of mural deoorntlon and kept a man posed In an exceeding ly fatiguing position on a scaffold for two hours. The grent pnlnter worked away, heedless of his model’s discom fort. Finally the victim called down, “Herr Professor, how ubout the re-' cess?” “Certainly, my dear sir. Come down right away, nnd yon shall have your recess.” : i As tho model was descending from the scaffolding his limbs assuined] a position which was one for whiph the artist find long been looking. “Stop!” Jfenzel thundered. “Hold! Ah, fine! Keep that whllo I make a little sketch of It!” The artist drew vigorously for half an hour, at tho end of which ho called out Imperatively: "There, that will do for now. Get up on the scaffold again. We have had our recess." The Town's Crooked Dividing Line. “There Is a reason for most every thing,” said a Cumberland county man when he was asked how In the world they came to have such a crooked line between two towns in his county?

BEAMAN’S MUSIC HOUSE 104 Pino Street, (Rumney Building.) Albeny,. Ga into Albany, which answered the pur pose so far as the big deal was con cerned. “I tell you, there have been some wonderful changes In Albany since I brought that first train across an un finished bridge into what was only a little South Georgia town. If the Al banians of the present generation 1 could look back aid. see the Albany of that day and time, they would not recognize the place. There have been so many and such vital changes that I would not know where to begin to en umerate them. Why, nearly every thing has changed! Practically every thing Is new. Tlie buildings that were here then, most nt them, at least, have -been so changed and modernized as scarcely to be recognized as the same structures that served as the . homes and business buddings of the embry onic Albany of the eighties. “It . makes a follow feel 'kinder' old, continued Mr. Wiggins, “to think about all these things. Just to think, there are only two of us left now, Old John Golding and I. We are the only men who are no w running on the B. ft W. division of the A. C, L. who were in the employ of the road In the days of which I speak. All the other old fellows have left the road, either for more attractive paths and pursuits In this world, or have crossed over Into the Great Beyond. It makes old John and me feel pretty close to each other and binds us with a tie stronger than mere friendship, when we think that of all the old boys we are the only two remaining on duty. “Twenty-four years ago today! How time speeds, and what great changes it works! We used to have some great times down the road In those days. Some of the country through which the road ran was pretty rough and un developed. A conductor almost took his life In his hands every time he went out on a train crer the road. Those backwoodsmen would come up to Albany and fill up on whiskey, and there would be troublesome times for the train crew which pulled them back home. A conductor had to face the music boldly, for to give an Inch would have meant to lose control of his train and hlB own life, no doubt It was great times we used to have, I tell you.” Capt Wiggins, who talked so Inter- Why the Albany Base - Ball Team should be named “Flint RocKs 1st. . 2nd. 3rd. 4th. with whisky, brandy, rum or gin; don't bind or cover a wound with a hand kerchief, or rag (If you cannot got a first aid packet uso clean old muslin that has been dipped In boiling water for a few minutes); don't sit a patient up when he Is very pale or weak; don't wash a wound, and don't remove blood qipts.” .

It Is sometimes claimed that the sur geon or the physician Is the only man who Is paid for his mistakes, but that is clearly untrue. Lawyers receive fees for the cases that they lose, and other men are not "docked” whenever thoy fall short of complete success. The truth Is that the Idea of human com pensation Is bnsed upon Intelligent, honest effort and reputed skill. If nil fees nnd salaries were contingent upon absolute perfection In the tusk under taken they would have to ho Increased many times over, since absolute per fection or complete success Is very rare In any line of activity.—Chicago Chronicle. Decapitating Word,. A writer In the Loudon Chronicle says: “Our language's trick of dccupl- tatlng words, us lu 'bus,' 'phnuc' and wig,’ Is not at all a modern fulling. Take the common words 'spend' und ‘sport.’ 'Our very early ancestors hud tho verb ‘spendan,’ and yet 'spend' Is really a disguising abbreviation of the Latin ‘dis-pendere,’ to pay out. 'Sport' Is another very old English word, yet It Is really 'disport'—‘dls-port,’ to carry apart, which acquired the metaphorlcul sense of pleasure or umusement pre cisely as 'divert' and ‘transport.’ ” Hurrah for the Flint RocKs.
