A NoMENTous QUESTION has been solved
at last. JERRY SIMPSON rose yesterday to
personal explanation in the Farmers
Convention at Annapolis. The burden Of
his explanation was Mat he does really
wear socks. He sayshc put them on after
the defeat of INGALLS,. That was his way
of celebrating that great event. He left
unexplained the subsidiary question as to
whether the socks he wears are striped,
solid color or plain white. Another per-
sonal explanation is in order.

The production at the Lessing Theatre
in Berlin of lbscn's latest play, "Hedda
Gabler," has created an Ibsen craze among
certain circles in the German capital,
which is, however anything but univer-
sal. The play itself is denounced by many
as representing an impossibly mean wo-
man, and one critic declares that Ibsen's
motive must have been to reconcile un-
happy husbands to their fate. For. he
Gays, no man, however frivolous, mean,
unreasonable and otherwise undesirable
sentatim of aHedda Gablern without
coming to the conclusion that his wife is,
after ALL an angel. Ibsen, who attended
the first performance in person, was
greatly lionlzed IN literary circles, but he
has also to bear more assaults and sallies
from opponents to his ''school" than al
most any literary man who before this
has caused ripple in the intellectual
world

Il affords me much pleasure 70 say that

four cakes OF the CUTIcURA SOAP, and one
bottle Of CUTICURA RRs0LyEHT / was entirely
cured. In addition TO my own case, my baby
boy, then about i've months old, was suffering
with what supposed 10 be the same disease as
mine, 70 such an extent that his head was coated
over with a solid ecab. from which there was a
constant now Of pus which was sickening TO
LOOK upon, besides two large tumor-like kefnels
ON the back OF his head. Thanks 20 your WON
derful CUTICURA RKMEDIRs. his scalp Is per-
fectly WE'LL and the Kernels have been scattered
30 that there Is only little place by the left
ear, and that Is healing nicely. Instead OF acoat-
ing OF scabs he has fino coat OF hair, much bet

ease would that the whole world OF sufferers
