ENFANTELE
SKIN DISEASES

Our oldest child, now six years of age, when an
infant six months old was attacked with yiru-
lent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary reme-
attempted to cure it; but it spread with almost in
credible rapidity, until the lower portion of the
down to his knees, was one solid rash, ugly pain
full blotched, and malicious We had no rest at
night no peace by day. Finally, we were advised
to Try the CUTICURA REMEDIES. The effect was
simply marvellous. In three or four weeks a com
plete cure wrought, leaving the little fellows
person as white and healthy as though he had
never been attacked. In my opinion your valu-
able remedies saved his life. and to-day he Is
strong, healthy child, perfectly WELL no repetition
OF the disease having ever occurred.

priggish college days. All this
time, through every change, he has
been honorable and upright in his
dealings with his fellows. Sudden
ly the Time Lock Of a thievish an
cestor is turned on; he finds temp
tation too strong for even that
underestimated power-the force
of habit Of a lifetime-and the trust
funds in his keeping disappear
with him to Canada. Everybody
is surprised, shocked, pained--and
he, no doubt, more SO than anyone
else. Emotional insanity Is offered
as possible explanation by the
charitable; long-headed, calculat-
ing, intentional rascality, by the
severe or sef-righteous. And he ?
Well, he is wholly unable to ac-
count fot it at all. He knows he
had not lived all these years as Il
conscious, self-controllcd thief. He
knows that the impulse was sud-
den, binding, overwhelming; but
he does not know why and how.
1t was like an awful dream. He
seems powerless to overcome it.
The Time Lock had turned with
out his knowledge and in spite of
himself. The unknown, unheard-
of Thievish Ancestor took posses
sion, as it were, through force of
superior strength and ability--and
then it was his hour. The heredi.
tary shadow on the dial had come
rouud to him. The great-uncle's
hour was past. He, no doubt was
"turned on" to some other dazed
automaton-in Maine or Texas
who had fallen heir to drop to
much of his blood, and she, poor
thing, if it happened to be Il girl
this time, forthwith proceeded to
fall in love with her friends hus-
l
band-seeing he was the only man
at hand at the time; while tho
Thievish Ancestor left--in shame
and contrition-a small but light
fingered boy in Georgia, to keep
his engagement with our respect
able highly-honored, and hereto
fore highly honorable man of af-
fairs in Wall Street. The Time
Lock of heredity had been set for
this hour, and the machinery OF
circumstances oiled the wheels
and silently moved the dial.-Helen

son and but few farmers in our hill
country will be compelled to go to
Egypt this season for corn, and as

The early sown wheat is show
ing finely and will most likely be

Potato digging is just at hand

this season and many to market.

large, the largest ever known and
of the finest quality and if our
cider bibbers do not have plenti-
ful supply at command who is to

The Green and GraY.

AS ] wandered through the wood
Enjoying the deep solitude,
Autumn leaves wero falling round
Covering all the drnary ground:
,rhus reminding of the day
When we oil shall don our gray.
But QUAINT old book vt hand
Taught me of distant lnnd,
Where the sunlight and the showers
Blessed II with perennial flowers;
Teaching, thus, that earth to-day,
Part Is green part Is gray.
Gould we ponder swcetly DER
Sorrows less and blessings more,
Count, with JOY, the favors sought,
Still by faiths bright guiding wrought
Joy and gladncss then would find,
Ample Thought to cheer the mind.
But pondered still in thought,
Der the mingllng colors wrought.
Nor is fancies pencil laid
Idly in the neutral shade:
For the colors of each day
Mingles green with saddcst gray.
When we each have borne our part,
When carth's cares have wearied our
heart,
When we've tried our noblest mind,
When our faith has been refined.
May we hail the welcome day,
Eager for the deepest gray.
What is earth with all its gloom?
What the terror of the tomb?

The Republican Tariff
Farce.
Tariff

The Tariff bill that came before
the Senate yesterday is simply Il
fraud and burlesque. When this
campaign opened there was Il
rumor that Mr.. Blaine and Mr..
Quay had advised against any
tariff bill by the Republicans, or
its presentation, at least, under
circumstances that would have
permitted its discussion. And al
though the rumor was denied as
indicative of Republican weakness
we now see that it was true.
Why should Mr.. Blaine and Mr..
Quay wish reduction of the sur
plus? The surplus means appro-
priations, money. pension swindles
and infinite forms of Treasury de-
pletion. The surplus has given
chances to the Treasury sharks
that will not soon recur. The sur.
plus means sunshine and the time
to make hay. To suppose that a
grand master in the school of job
berry like Mr.. Blaine could dissolve
that surplus until he was compelled
to do so by tumult of popular in
dignationamounting to II revolution
is to underrate his courage ant
audacity.
And why should the tariff be re
duced? The monopolists are il
power. They take in the money
The Carnegie and other tariff swol
len fortunes roll up from hour tt
hour. Labor goes on its weary
dreadful, grinding road from sun
rise without hope to sunset whicl

deposited their earnings in til" bank,

ald they believed the Government
was sustaining it, and liable for the
debts of the concern. But alas, as IA
living monument to their ignorance

away went their hard earned savings.
1t is universally conceded that the
cause of the failure was corrupt and
dishonest officials. At that time no
