When it is thick and.of a rich color she will always be attractive looting.

The hair may be golden, black or brown, but when gray or faded hair comes then there is an appearance of age even though she may look and feel as young as ever. Under these circumstances gray hair is a draw back both to men and women. Hair Health has been a blessing to many thousands of men and women (over three million bottles of this preparation have been sold in the United States, Kngland and France durins i8q8) who are now enjoying a fine head of hair produced by this unequalled preparation for restoring, streneheninff and beautifying the hair. Hair Health quickly cleanses the scalp, removes the dandruff and stops falling and breaking of the hair. "ONB BOTTLE DOES IT." That is the expression of mam who have had their gray hairs restored to natural color and their bald spot covered with hair after using one bottle of air Jieatth.

Old Forge and Moosic. Address Burt Harris, manager. WYOMING COUNTY NEWS Hnwkes tlie Funny Man Came to ture A Pago from the Exporlence of a Manager of An Opera House in the Couutry How They Are Known The Stark Brick Company Land. TUNKHANNOCK, Oct. 4.

They bear the evidences of their occupation upon them as unmistakably as does the man you see with dusty clothes along side the country grist mill, or the chap with grimy hands and blackened clothes beside the village blacksmith shop, men talk shop, many men wear shop and cannot shake it off no matter where they happen to be. They never get away from it. David Harum, Arthur Betts and Joe Carlin talk "Hoss Trad in' on the least provocation and at any old time and place, they never get away from it. It is life business with them. The manager of an alleged opera house in the country knows the advance agent for an Uncle Tom show within a square or two of the opera house and the advance man of most any other traveling attraction, if he has age at the business, is known across the street to the country manager.

The seedy actor gets to be a familiar character to the chap who runs a barnstorming place of amusement, for he above all others comes in contact with him. When "the heavy tragedian" undertakes to do the announcing act for himself there is no disguising himself to the chap of the local place of amusement. You see the fellow who has charge of the play house has a career of his own. He sees times when he must act as his own bill poster, janitor, ticket seller, door keeper, stage manager, scene shifter, programer, contractor, announcer, property man and electrician. He has to receive the show and politely inform the gentleman with long hair who essays the legit that this is not the Grand opera house in New York and if it were he would be playing somewhere else.

iHe must take the "barn" just as he finds it. That elaborate bill of fare that has pie on it, wont be furnished by the house. Pie is a perishable as every country manager who plays a company of barnstormers comes to know before his first season is out. If there is one thin? above another that the strolling actor has it is an appetite. No, the kicking over that pie feature on the programme don't go.

Occasionally there comes to "Pordunk" some company down on its luck that possesses a gentleman for its manager. He looks the field over and concludes to accept the inevitable. Ho don't strut about and tell the long haired, stage struck Uy in the house about the kind of house he is used to playing in and talk to him as if he expected a opera house to present his thirty dollar attraction in; don't blow because things are not gilt edged on the stage. The chap who tries that on "Tow Head" misses his gait and is told quietly to "go to" and the rest of the place is mentioned. There are lots of things behind the scenes at the country amusement palace that the general public don't know about that on proper occasion will be given mention.

Just now this much has been said as Introductory to the advent to the place on Tuesday of a gentleman from Baltimore: The local manager1 saw him across the street; knew him at once as one of the craft. Was made more certain by his taking a be line directly across the street to him. Made sure when he approached and extended his hand and said. "Don't you know me?" and replied, "No, know you, but know your business." He said: "I am Hawkes of Baltimore, and I come hero to lecture in your opera house tonight." That's funny, replied the local manager, and Hawkes thought it was not very funny as he related that he had been directed by the Lyceum to come on here from Philadelphia to give his "funny business" at the opera house, and when he was thinking that his presence was a notable one and the town on the lookout for him. he was occasioning no particular swell.

It occurred to the local manager that in the list of attractions put out by a couple of Mansfield students, in a proposed course of lectures they had for this place, was one Hawkes the funny man. It may be remembered that the boys from the state normal school proposed to enlighten this ccm munity and bring itout of darkness into the glad light by the aid of am Jones and Hawkes the funnyman. The boys canvassed the town and sold several tickets for the course and then left town for their homes. Professor More lock of the High school, always kpeping an eye out for the interests of his school, thought that perhaps he could take hold of the course and raise thereby some funds to purchase books for the High school library, and he has been looking the matter up. All this was explained to "Hawkes, the funnyman," and the school house was pointed out to him and as he sauntered off he gave to the country manager one of those thirty cent smiles, productive of smiles nightly on the ros trum and for which an eager and discriminating public is paying its long green to witness.

The opera house remained dark last night and the night train bore among its passengers the form of Hawkes the funnyman, en route for Mt. Morris, where his coming has been haralded and his approach will be welcomed by a fil and appreciative audience. There was a premonition felt here that there would something come out, of this Sam Jones and Hawkes the funnyman lecture course and it has come and gonoj Tn.ilny before arbitrators is to be heard thp suit of lion. Martin Brungess against Samuel Monlross for the price of a horse.

E. W. Fargo, wife and two sons and his mother went over to Scranton this morning to pass a couple of days. Miss Frank Stark, who has been passing the past month at New York city with a neice, has returned home again. The Stark Brick company's land on Forkston mountain shows up some stone of different grades and kinds that are much sought after by builders of tine buildings all over this country.

Three kinds of the stone are especially mentioned as they lie in stratas easy of access and are of a quality that take polish easily and present a fine appearance and possess a market value. They are easily quarried and they run over 300 acres. There is a large bed also of the same kind of stone as that used in the erection of the court house at Towanda, but that is not regarded as of as good quality as the three grades before mentioned. Then there is the clay bed that extends under 800 acres of proved ground, beside the company has several thousand acres that they have every reason to believe has clay beds under. The one thing neded is a railroad of say ten miles long to connect this land with the Lehigh Valley railroad at Lopez, and, of course, with the outer world.

At the office of W. E. and C. A. Little at this place, and of G.

W. Watson at Scranton, may be seen samples of the clay and of the stone found on the lands of the Stark Brick company. There is a fortune in the bringing out to market of the products underlying tho land, over there. On Saturday evening "The Stowaway" is to be presented at Piatt's opera house by strong company and aided by a car load of special scenery. See and rpad the Advance paper.

Watkins and family have many friends here who will feel very sorry to part with them, also the church of which Mr. Watkins has been pastor for the past ten years, will lose a true friend, and faithful pastor. We wish Rev. Watkins and family all happiness flnd success in their new home. The large farm barn of Wesley World on the farm formerly owned by the late Ziba Reynolds, about two miles east of town, was totally destroyed by fire Friday evening last, at about 8 o'clock.

How the fire originated is unknown. Byron Carpenter and W. H. Reynolds planted a piece of ground with potatoes last spring upon Bunker Hill, and last week were up there digging them. There are or was at that time chestnuts there and Mr.

Carpenter and Mr. Reynolds took their daughters, Miss Hattie and Miss Mabel along, and the girls gathered half a bushel of line chestnuts, when the rain began to fall and the thunder rolled and ligntning flashed and the rain poured down. Then the girls decided It would be much more pleasant to be at home, so they drove home and brought a load of potatoes on a lumber wagon in the pouring rain, but they say they had the most fun of any giris in town that day, if they did get wet and rode home on a load of potatoes. The pie social was not a success financially and think the ladles better try it over as those pies were delicious. Proceeds $3.
