“Two years ago my hair was
falling out badly. I purchased a
bottle of Ayer’s Hair Vigor, and
soon my hair stopped coming out.”
Miss Minnie Hoover, Paris, Ill.
Perhaps your mother
had thin hair, but that is
no reason Why you must
go through life with half-
starved hair. If you want
long, thick hair, feed it
with Ayer’s Hair Vigor,
and make it rich, dark,
and heavy.

A Suspicious Character,
An amusing mistake occurred Iatel>
in a street car in Philadelphia. A
woman loaded with bundles had found
a vacant seat. Her umbrella, which
had a kind of shepherd’s crook handle,
was placed at her side, leaning against
her seat. The Philadelphia Telegraph
tells the story.
No sooner had the lady settled her¬
self than a gentleman entered. He
wore a heavy overcoat, and without
paying any attention to those about
him, took the vacant seat next to the
woman with the umbrella.
Ho did not notice the umbrella ^ind
the woman gave no thought to the
matter. Presently the mtbreUa,
through the jolting of the car, worked
its way down, and without the jknowl-
edge of either person, continued until
the handle slipped into the pian’3
pocket. There it rested until thft man
started to leavo the car. Even then
neither of the passengers noticed the
incident, but as he walked down the
aisle there was a general giggling to
be heard.
The conductor* saw how matters
stood, and said:
“Excuse me, sir, is that your um¬
brella?’’
The passenger looked at the um¬
brella, and with many stammers and
blushes, replied in the negative.
The conductor thereupon returned
it to the woman with the bundles.
“Where did that come from? How
did you get it?" she inquired.
“The gentleman who sat here car¬
ried it away in his pocket,” answered
the conductor.
“Well, he ought to be arrested..
Any man who has a pocket big enough
to hold an umbrella must be a shop¬
lifter or a pickpocket. He must havo
had it made to hold his stealings. I 1
want him arrested.”
The man. fortunately for him, had
disappeared.
Pce's First Appearance.
The old dispute as to w'bere Edgar
Allan Poe was born appears to be
settled by his latest biographer. Prof,
Harrison states with empahsis that
he was born in Boston, Jan. 19, 1809.
His parents, who were strolling ac-
tors, though hi3 father was of excel-
lent family, were playing in Boston!
when little Edgar was born. As Prof,
Harrison facetiously puts it: i
“At length a stop—In Boston—came
to the wanderings; January 19, 1S09,
Mrs. Poe did not appear—but Edgar
did.”—Boston Herald.
THE UP-TO-DATE AUTHOR.
“Yes, sir,” said the up-to-date au-
thor. “I may say that I’ve been cite
successful in a literary wav. What i
do . you think my capital , was , >» etnn- ,„ rT
Ing out?”
“Don’t know.'
“A bottle of ink, a couple of pens 1

“And now?”

Tragic Fate Whuh Befel Many
Sunday Pleasure Seekers.
RESULT OF A CLOUDBURST
Park in Ravine at Grcen^urg, Pa., Over¬
flowed and Everyth.ng is Swept
Before Resistless Torrent.
A water spout of immense propor¬
tions struck in the vicinity of Oakforcl
park, Greenburg, Pa., Sunday after¬
noon and created a flood that caused
great loss of life and property. It Is
known that at least twenty persons
lost their lives and rumors place the
number of dead at more than one hun-
dred, but up to a late hour Sunday
night only three or four bodies had
been recovered, having been crashed to
the banks of the little creek that runs
parallel with the park.
At 3 o’clock rain began to fall in tor¬
rents in the vicinity of tne park, and
spread over territory covering proba¬
bly ten miles.
A half hour later the cloudburst oc¬
curred. The waters in the lake north
of Oakford park began to rise, and
Manager James McGrath believing
there was danger cf a final break in
ttle great walls of the hurried
amon S the crowds of plotsure seekers
who had gathered under the roofs of
the eating stands, the dancing pavilion
and other buildings in lne of the wa¬
ter, should the banks break, and warn¬
ed them to run to the hills.
A telephone message irom Jeannette
received at midnight stated that from
fifty to seventy-five n|en, women and
children perished by the cloudburst at
Oakford park. The majority were
drowned, or their Iivei were beaten out
against the rocks in Brush creek, but
a number were electrocuted.
At least, 800 people were at the park
seeking relief from the heat. YY'hen
the storm burst th« greater number
sought the hillside, preferring the shel-
ter G f the forest Pees to the pant
buildings. because they did not care
to be below the level of the dam aad
but little above the level of Bush creek.
YVhen the dam broke a solid wall of
water twenty feet high. rushed down
and completely fille^the narrow ravine
with ^ r tl ' af ' k8 ; f ar
f taurant. In front f of the car bam stood
a car containing from fifty to seventy
passengers, many of them seeking 10
return to Jeannette, others using it as
a temporary shelter.
With the immense body of water be¬
hind it, the crest of the flood bore
down with irresistible force. It car-
rled with it in its embrace the loaded
street car and the crowded restaurant.
The flood was filled with men. women
and children struggling for their n>es.
The pole3 canning the heavily eharg-
e( * t r °hey wi were uprooted and
strewn along tht gounds. Tn a number

known—the victims of the flood, gasp-
j n g f or anything that might save them
from the fury of the water, seized tne

electrocuted instead of being drowned.
Several _ , bodies . . hay? already ... been

covered, showing tiat death was the

It is almost the concensus of opin-
ion of the people o' Jeannettee that
fully one hundred ptrsons perished in
the flood while many conservative per-
sons maintain that the official death
