The Real Wiglaf: Man and Monarch (Continued from page 10) Wiglaf ascended the throne of Mercia, his father having disappeared Sat- urday night without trace. A peasant" some yea old king walking along a road near what is now the Scottish border, tell- | ing people that he was carrying a let- ter of greeting from the Mayor of Pontygn to the Mayor of Langoscgirh. Others say that he fell into the sea off the coast of Wales and became what is now known as King’s Rocks. This last has never been authenticated. \t any rate, the son, on ascending the throne, became king. His first of- fi act was to order dinner, “A nice, juicy steak,” he is said to have called fo ench fries, apple pie and acup of coffee.” It is probable that he | “a coff of cuppee,” however, a wag of the first water and loved a joke as well as the next king. We now are thrown into the mael- contradictory historical data, which credits Wiglaf with be- reatest ruler Mercia ever had of which indicates that he g but a royal bum. It is urpose of this biography to ttle the dispute. All we know is that he was a very human had his faults like the rest of us and that shortly after becoming king he disappears from view. His reign began at 4 p. M. one Wed- nesday (no, Thursday) afternoon and carly the next morning Mercia was overrun by the West-Saxons.

The plat- form was crowded and many women were there with their sunshades. The engineer made a lot of unnecessary snortings with his engine and would re- verse the throttle, causing the wheels to spin around, which terrified the people. Then he turned on the side valves, blow- ing out great jets of steam, and the peo- ple almost fell over themselves to back out of the way. Finally the engineer stuck his head out of the cab window and sang out: “If some of you ladies don’t put down your parasols I don’t believe I can handle this critter much longer.” In three seconds every woman lowered her parasol, and they seemed much re- lieved when the engineer got his train in motion without further trouble and went lumbering away down the track. —Columbus (Kan.)

HYDRAULIC An Easy Way to Remove Dandruff If you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don’t. The best way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it. To do this, just apply a little Liquid Arvon at night before retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp, and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications should completely re- move every sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get Liquid Arvon at any drug store. A four- ounce bottle is usually all that is needed. The R. L. Watkins Co., Cleveland, Ohio.
