pleasant dreams on her lips.
Roughly shaking her the dastardly
intruder said gruffiy:
"Here, wake up; now just you keep

When the police finally got there
they found the burglar. done up with a
clothes line as neatly as a grocer does
up ten pounds of sugar. He was just
opening his eyes in the coming to"
process; when they rested on the little
widow they took on beseeching look
as he shivered and gasped out:

IT is well-known fact that the PEN
sion building at Washington is the
homeliest building on earth. It is built
ct brick, dirty red brick, no two brick
of the same shade, with no oramenta-
ton. Gen. Msigs was the architect of
the building, and he was proud Of it.
One day he showed Gen. Sheridan
through it, and after they had gone out
of the building Meigs asked Sheridan
what he thought oft. Sheridan turned
and took one more look at It, and said :
@The only objection I can see to the
building, Meigs. is that it is fire proof .
Gen. Meigs was mad.

with very painful breaking out of the skin.
We called in physician. who treated him
for about four weeks. The child received
little or no good from the treatment. as the
breaking out, supposed by the physician to
be hives IN an aggravated form, became
larger i'll blotches, and more and more dis
tressing. We were frequently obliged to get up
in the night and rub him with soda in water.
strong liniments, etc. Finally,we called other
physicians. until no less than six had attempt
ed TO cure him, all alike failing, and the
child steedily getting worse and worse, until
about the Goth of last July, when we began
to give him CUTIcURA REsoLvENT internally,
and the CUTICURA and CUTICURA SOAP ex-
ternally, and by the last of August he was so
nearly well that we gave him only one dose
of the REsoLvENT about every second day for
about ten days longer, and he has never
been troubled since with the horrible malady.
III all we used less than one-half bottle Of

association on Lake Calumet, to-day,
was hardly success, owing to the

created too much sea for the light shells

were carried out, and four shells cap
sized. The principal event of the day
the Junior singleS-Was abandonded,
and the time made in the
other contests was unsatisfactory. The
Junior four-oared shells, one mile and a
