Pears

It is a wonderful soap
that takes hold quick and
does no harm.
No harm! 1t leaves the
skin soft like a baby's; no
alkali in it, nothing but
soap. The harm is done by
alkali. Still more harm is
done by not washing. So,
bad soap is better than
none.
What is bad soap? I'M
perfectly made; the fat
and alka1i not we'll bal
anced or not combined.
What is good soap?
Pears.
All sorts of stores sell it, especially druggists;
all sorts of people use it.

Gould Not Tell What She Looked
Like. Got Worse with Doctors
Medicine. Could Not Sleep
From Intense itching.
CURED In ONE MONTH BY CUTICURA

When my baby was four months old her
skin broke out, and I thought it was ring
worm. took her to a doctor and he said it
was Eczema. He gave me medicine to give
her, but she kept getting worse all the time,
and you could not tell what she looked like
her little face and hands were so covered with
sores and large scales. 1t got under her little
finger nails. She was the worst looking sight
l ever saw. heard of CUTIoURA REMEDIES,
80 thought would try them. Before tried
them we got no rest at night. She could not
sleep it itched so.' After gave her CUTIoURA
REsoLvENT, sasc q change In a aceek. It
commenced to dry all up and she would sleep
all night, and when it was drying up the skin
all cracked open, SO then 1 got CUTICURA (oint-
ment) and CUTICURA SOAP, and in one month
she had not one sore on her face, and don't
think it is any more than justice to let you
know what it has done for my baby. She now
is fifteen months OLD and has got beautiful
skin. She doesn't even have pimple of any
kind, and she is as fat as pudding.

ARE THE GIRLS RRspoNs1BLEG

Tt has been said by some wise oracle
that imam is what woman makes him"
While I do not endorse this statement
literally, I do think, however, that the
girls have o great deal TO do with the
formation of the moral character Of
the young mou that associate with
them. Suppose, for instance, that .
young lady should, the moment she
dAseesed the slightest soent Of whiaksy
on q young mans breath refuse to have
anything further TO do with him, or
tolerate his presence longer, he, no
doubt, would seek the society of some
other young lady; and suppose the SEQ,
ond one should turn him down"-and
the third and fourth and fifth should
act in the same way-the result would
be that very soon he would be isolated,
90 to speak, from the society of ladies
altogether. And how long doyou sup
pose any young man, who has one
spark of salt respect, could stand thar
Not long, I promise you. He would
soon cease TO drink himself and cut his
acquaintance wish men that did. No
man can have any respect for himself
and drink W~hiakey-and the man that
has no respect for himself has none for
the young lady that will tolerate his
presence when under the influence of
strong drink-though but aligntly 30.
Girls you have more influence than
you give yourselves credit for. You
cannot go to the polls and vote against
whiskey, but if you would refuse to
associate Or keep company with the
men that drink it, your power for good
and for the abolition of this vile demon,
whiakey, would be simply immense.

I DREAMED OF you

Last night, dear May, I dreamed that you were dead;
saw your white hands folded on your breast
Your dear eyes closed, their life forever Id.
Your heart at rest.
7 gaEad upon your face, so white and cold.
Peaceful beyond my power to understand:
I kissed your lips as in the days OF old;
Iclasped your hand.
And ohi The world with all it held for me,
Grew dark as night, and every hope seemed Asd;
No Joy in all the earth my soul could zee,
For you were dead.
I thought the morning sunlight filed the sky;
With early dew the opening flowers were wet;
But all seemed darkness to my weary eyes;
Ny sun had set.
I tried 10 wake you from that awful sleep;
I could not realize your soul had flown;
/ tried i'm vain: your slumberB were too deep;
/ was alone.
I woke-the morning sky was bright with day,
The birds were singing sWeetly overhead;
The sweet June roses bloomed fresh and gay;
You were not dead.
And when we met you did not understand,
That you were deaEer to me, ten times DER;
That truer, warmer, seemed your little hand
Than eer before.
Nor can yu ever know how much ! prize
The precious j9wel trusted to my care.
Nor that my heaven is in your tender eyes
And sunny hair.
That dream was but an angel in disguise,
That flied my soul WITH bitterest distress,
For tits by loss we really learn to priz4
What We possess.
'Ts ever thus: life's lessons are not learned:
We no not know the blessings which we own,
Until, berefE. the bleeding heart has yearned
Ger angels flown. u. S Gutter.
