A STuRY OF PALATKA.

Almost everybody knows George b
Brown of Boston, one of the greatest
wags in the whole East. An old timer
at the Windsor hotel was telling m a
story about him had never heard be-
fore, though l was assured it was moi
new to great many people.
1t was in the old days at Palafka, wher
Orvis kept the Putnam house. and g
crowd of jolly people hived there every
winter. 1t was then a common pastimt
for the guests to attend divine service al
the 'Shoutin' Baptis' colored church
and very profitable it was to the church
treasury.
The crowd put up job on Brown one
night. They told the shrewd old darkey
preacher that Mr.. Brown was an excel
lent Sabbath school speaker and that il
would be to the interest of his evening
service if he would urge Brother Brown
to make few remarks, .-...
Mr.. Brown was good deal surprised
when he was called on, but was not Ions
disconnected. He arose and went tC
the front. A better speaker doesn't
walk, and Mr.. Brown, with face Of
deep gravity made splendid and ap-
propriate appeal for the needs of the
church; three or four times he carried
around his hat amonf his friends
There was no refusing him. He started
the collection with five dollar bill and
every Putnam house worshiper that
night had to shell out.
At last, with hat full of greenbacks
Mr.. Brown closed his remarks and. turn
ing, delivered it to the pastor. The Gun
ming old African viewed the wealth
with delight, and holding the hat aloft
he prayed:
Oh, Lord, pray thee. bless the dan

Governor of Vermont Morris was sent
to Jail for some minor offence against
the peace and dignity of our common
wealth; but only a week or two after

his sidewalk. A passer-by asked him
how he got out of Jail.
'Pardoned by de Governor was the
epigrammatic response,
Some citizens investigated the matt,r
and found that, sure enough, a numer.
ously signed petition asking for Flana-

Gov. Royce who had complied with its
prayer, No one around town knew any
thing of such petition and the mystery
was deeper than ever. Finally il WIS
solved.
One of the inmates of the Jail was a
Caledonia county worthy who was
awaiting trial for forgery. He was an
expert penman, and he drew up very
handsome petition, setting forth that
we the undersigned citizens of Burling

Flanagan, now confined in Jail; we know
that he is worthy man and we regard
him as victim Of circumstances and
then went on to ask the Governor to
pardon him. This impressive document
was signed by every prisoner in the Jail
and then quietly forwarded to Governor
Royce; and he actually pardoned the
man!-[St. Johnsbury Republican.

INFANTILE
SKIN DISEASES.

Our oldest child, now six years Of age, when al
infant six months old was attacked with viru
lent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary RENE
dies failing, we called our family physician, who
attempted to cure it. but ii spread with almost
incredible rapdity, until the lower portion of the
little fellow person frpm the middle of his back
down to his knees, was one solid rash, ugly, pain
full blotches, and malicious. We had no rest al
night, no peace by day. Finally, we were told
so try the Cuticura Remedies The effect was
simply marvellous. In three or four weeks com
plete cure was wrought, leaving the little fellows
person white and healthy as though he never
had been attacked In md opinion your valuable
remedies saved his life, and today he Is strong,
healthy child, perfectly well, no repetition of the
disease having ever occurred. .
