SUCCEEDS FINLEY
VIRGINIAN AND FORMER VICE
PRESIDENT CHOSEN TO
HEAD SOUTHERN RWY.
LATE PRESIDENT PRAISED
Harrison, Finley’s Close Adviser, Will
Continue His Policies and Work
for Upbuilding South.
New York.—Fairfax Harrison, for.
merly vice president of the Southern
Railway company and for the last
three years president of the Chicago,
Indianapolis and Louisville Railway
company, of which the Southern is
part owner, was elected president of
the Southern Railway company to suc
ceed the late William Wilson Finley
Mr. Harrison is a Virginian, ills
home being at Belvoir, Virginia. He
is peculiarly identiled with the South,
PRESIDENT OF SOUTHERN RWY
Fairfax Harrison.
as his father was private secretary to
Jefferson Davis while president of the
Confederate' state, and all his railroad
experience has been with the South
ern and its associated lines. Mr. Har
rison was born in 1869, and was grad*
uated from Yale with the A. It. de
gree in 1890, and from Columbia with
the A. M decree in 1891. He was ad
mitted to the bar in New York in 1892
and continued the practice of law in
this city until 1896, when ho entered
the service of tho Southern railway
in tho legal department as solicitor.
In 1903, he was made assistant to the
president, and in 1906 becamo vice
president, which position he held un
til 1910, when he resigned on being
elected president of tho Chicago, In
dianapolis and Louisville.
Mr. Harrison was one of Mr. Fin
ley’s closest and most trusted advisors
and is thoroughly in sympathy with
the policies which made Mr. Finley’s
administration so successful both for
the Southern Railway company and
the territory served by its lines.
Though Mr. Harrison entered the serv
ice of the Southern in the legal de
partment, 1i1b experience has not been
conilned to that branch of the service.
He has given much study to flnanclal,
trafflo and operating problems, and is
Intimately acquainted with conditions
on the Southern railway and through
out tho section which it traverses. As
president of the Chicago, Indianapolis
and Louisville, he was actively in
charge of tho operation of the rail
way, so that he comes to the South
ern railway prepared by practical ex
perience as well as the most detailed
knowledge of the details of its af-
' fairs to takeu p the duties of chief
executive.
Resolutions deploring the death of
Mr. Finley and paying a high tribute
for his work for the railways he head
ed and tho territory they served were
adopted by the board of directors of
tho Southern railway, the Mobile and
Ohio railroad, the Alabama Great
Southern railroad and the Virginia and
Southwestern railway. These resolu
tions will be printed throughout the
South. Immediately following his elec
tion, President Harrison gave out the
following statement:
“I am in entire accord and sym
pathy with the policies of my lament
ed friend, Mr. Finley, under whom I
have worked for seventeen years. 1
hop* to continue to build the South
ern as he built it by promoting and
enhancing its usefulness to and its
cordial relations with the people of
the South. I count on the support of
the entire present working organiza
tion of the Southern, rank and file.
Having grown up in the service with
most of them, I know how to value
them and 1 am proud to believe that
they are my friends."
AT LEAST DID SOMETHING MUCH THINKING NOT NEEDED
Intending Traveler Got Some Coneola-
tion Out of His Failure to
Catch His Train.
Charles Edward Russell, the social
ist candidate for the mayoralty of
New York, Bald of his defeat:
"At any rate we put up, we Social
ists, a brave if hopeless fight. And
now, in our defeat, we are as cheery
as the traveler.
“A traveler bought a ticket from
Paint Rock to Nola Chucky, and then,
going out on the platform, said:
“ ‘How soon does the train start?’
“ ’Why, there she goes now,’ said a
station hand. ‘You’ve Just missed
her.’
“The traveler leaped on the line and
set out in pursuit of the train with all
his might. But in two or three min
utes he came trudging back over the
ties.
“A laughing crowd had gathered,
and the station hand said:
“ ‘Well, did you catch her?’
“ 'No,' said the traveler, ‘but, by
jingo, I made her puff.' ’’
SAGE TEA DARKENS GRAY
HAIR TO ANY SHADE. TRY IT!
Keep Your Locks Youthful, Dark,
Glossy and Thick With Common
Garden 8age and Sulphur.
When you darken your hair with
Sago Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it’s done so naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trouble-
Bomo. For 60 cents you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use tonic
called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy.” You juet dampen«a
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time. By morn
ing all gray hair disappears, and, after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant. You will also dis
cover dandruff is gone and hair has
stopped falling.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a eign of old age, and as wo
all desire a youthful and attractive ap
pearance, get busy at once with Wy
eth’s Sage and Sulphur and look years
younger.—Adv.
Visiting Divine Rather Sorry That He
Had Coaxed Boy to Make
Explanation.
A noted New York divine tells the
following story:
One day ho shared with the chil
dren of a certain Sunday school a
pathetic incident turning upon the
pitiful plea of a poor little girl for
aid and tho dollar that he gave her.
Then he asked the children to guess
what was the fir3t thing the little glri
bought.
“Please, sir. a basket," piped up a
small boy.
“Right! Right! Now there is a
boy who thinks,” cried the pleased
speaker. "Come up here to the plat
form, sonnie, and tell us why you
think she bought a basket. Wo want
all these other girls and boys to learn
to think, too.”
The boy was unwilling to accept the
distinction pressed upon him, but
finally walked slowly to the platform
“Now, my dear boy,” encouraged
the great visitor, "tell us why you
think tho little girl bought a basket
first.”
"Because,” answered the lad, after
much coaxing and wriggling, ”1 was
over in Hoboken last Sunday and
heard you tell the story there.”
CRADLES ARE OF ALL SORTS
Didn't Want to Be Overheard.
Not long ago tho Washington po
lice were set to work collecting cer
tain information for a census of the
city. Each officer was directed, in
every case, to seek data desired from
the head of the house he visited.
When one big copper rang the bell
of a certain establishment a timid lit
tle man, with sparse whiskers, an
swered the call; and, when the officer
in a tone like that of the Bull of Bash-
•an demanded to see the head of the
house, the little man whispered:
"Sh! You needn’t shout so! I am
the head of th* house. What is it
you want?"
HEAD ITCHED AND BURNED
604 Greenville Ave., Staunton, Va.—
"My head broke out' in pimples which
festered. It Itched me so that I
would scratch it till my head got al
most in a raw sore. My hair came out
gradually and It was dry and lifeless.
Dandruff fell on my coat collar till I
was ashamed of it. My head bad been
that way all summer, itching and
burning till I couldn't sleep In any
peace.
"I tried salves but it looked like
they made it worse. I got but
It did me no good so I got a cake of
Cutlcura Soap and box of the Cutlcura
Ointment and you don’t know what a
relief they gave me. In two weeks my
head was well.” (Signed) J. I* Smith,

Perhaps the Strongest Is That to
Which New Guinea Baby Is
Accustomed.
"A cradle, please," said the young
father, with a proud, Thanksgiving
air—” cradle for my first-born.”
While choosing the cradle he talked
cradle loro, which he and his wife,
he said, for some months had been
reading up.
“The Lapland babe's cradld,” ho be
gan, "is its mother’s shoe—Its moth
er's snowshoe. This snowshoe is cov
ered with skin and stuffed with soft
moss. By its thongs, when so dis
posed, the Lapland mother can hang
her baby to a tree.
"Tho Indian baby wears a nose ring
and a veil, and its cradle Is a basket
swung from its mother’s head.
"But tho strangest cradle of all is
the New Guinea baby’s. The mothers
of New Guinea bury their babies in
the soft, white desert sand up to the
waist. This keeps them out of mis
chief. It is the only cradle they ever
know."
Wholesale Execution.
Vice-President Marshall was Jour
neying democratically—via trolley car
—to the capitol when a negro In half
clerical garb edged his way next to
him.
"Beg you pahdon, Mistah Vice-
President,” said the neighbor, "but it
would be a great pleasure, suh, if you
would address our colored Y. M. C. A.
some Sunday.
"Well, perhaps I will," replied the
vice-president. "Walt a little while,
though; I’m very busy Just at pres
ent. A little later I may bo able to
make an engagement to talk to your
association and will be greatly
pleased to do so.”
"Thank youh, suh,” was the response.
“It will be greatly appreciated for
sure. Senator Works of California
addressed us last Sunday and he sim
ply decapitated the entire assem
blage.”—Washington Herald.
Proper Spirit.
A broker rushed into Dennis Mo
rey’s office on La Salle street.
"Denny, I’ll buy you a drink,” ex
claimed the broker as he greeted
Morey.
"All right,” replied Morey, "but
you’re taking a long chance. I can’t
reciprocate.”
“This isn’t an investment, Denny;
It’s an invitation,” replied the broker,
as arm in arm they left the office.
Romance at Fifty.
"Youth isn’t everything, although It
is so much richer than it knows. No
doubt, too, if a man has the instinct
for romance In him at all, he is as ro-
mantlo at fifty os he was at twenty-
five, and perhaps less cynical, know
ing the values better. Robinson Cru
soe went to sea again at sixty-two.”—

"What’s the trouble?"
"Molanchola,” replied the gloomy

You buy coffee for its flavor—its aro
matic stimulation—which is so largely due to its flavor.
The old secret blend—the genuine French Market Coffee—
is a combination of many different coffees that are grown
in different countries, hence that peculiar delicious flavor
cannot be imitated.
If you would have the genuine French Market Coffee ask for it by name;
see that you are given French Market—not the ordinary kind of coffee.
The picture of the old French Market on the label assures you of tho
genuine French Market Coffee—accept no other.
Let French Market Coffee tell Its own story. Serve it several days
with your every meal—then see if anyone in your family wants to go
back to the ordinary kind of coffee.
Remember, Madame, that the fla
vor of coffee is everything.
