ECZEMA BABY as
Whole Body a Mass of Sores.
Doctor Gould Not Cure.
Tried CUTICURA.
Speedily Cured. Now Fine Hail
And Clear Skin.

Our baby at the age of four months was
sickly, and broke out with Eczema on his facs
and body. He was a mass of scabs. The doc
tor could not cure him. One day saw YOUR
advertisement in the newspaper, and got
CUTICURA REMEDIES at once. used one box
of CUT1cURA (ointment), one bottle of CUrI-
CURA REsOLvENT, and three cakes of CUrr-
cURA SOAP, and he aras cured. He is now
seventeen months old, weighs 46 pounds, and
has the finest head of hair and clearest skin
you would want to see. LOUIS BENZINGER.

If peace Vs>re declared within a week,
the probabilities are that many of the
volunteers would not get home in time for
Christmas dinner. War IS a slow moving
business, and there is still something to
be looked after when the fighting is over.
We shall want an indemnity, and our
troops viii have to remain and hold the
captured territory until the indemnity is
paid. BY way of illustration, attention
may be directed to the late war between
Greece and Turkey. 1t has been almost
year since that war came to a conclusion,
nevertheless the Turkish troops are only
now beginning to move out of Thessaly.
The delay has been due TO the inability of
Greece to pay an indemnity promptly.
The probabilities are that Spain will not
find money raising a great deal easier than
Greece has found it. Both are bankrupt
nations.

From the Richmond Dispatch Ode

We are aware that not a few public
men advocate annexation under the hon
est belief that it would be to the best in
terests of the country. But the facts and
the logic are against them. AS the case
now stands, the resolution is not only
loaded with a disgraceful job, but with
menace to E time-honored principle
before compromising which we should
think long and deeply.

What does the so-caled pauper labor
amount to, after all? If there is any coun-
try in the world that has pauper labor.
that country is China. In China common
labor is worth not more than two or three
cents a day, and skilled labor not more
than fifteen or twenty cents Neverthe-
less the United States have just demon
strated their ability 10 beat China and her
pauper labor at what may be called their
own game. A few days ago the war de-
partment wished to make a contract for a
large number of cork helmets. to be used
by the reinforcements to be sent 10 Dewey
at Manila. Bids were invited. A New
York firm named a figure at which it
would deliver the goods, in short order.
The Chinese are great makers of cork and
pith hats and helmets. - 1t was thought
probable that the helmets could be secured
in Hong Kong cheaper than in New York.
and that the cost of transportation would
be saved, besides. A cable of inquiry was
sent to the Chinese city. The reply came
back that the Hong Kong manufacturer
could not compete in price with the New
York bid. and the contract was given to
the Yankee. With our superior intelh-
gence and unapproached labor saving ma
chinery, We are leading the world in the
manufacture of about everything that may
be regarded as a staple or an article of
real use. The French continue to lead us
in the fimsies and fol-de-rols, however.

CURRENT COMMENT,
Ambassador Bayard's VindicatiOn.
From the Birmingham News Dem.).

fellows who We're "cussing" Bayard and
the senators who censured him?

Clearly the New York Press is not in
the confidence of the President. 1t is too
intense a partisan, probably. to be a de-
sirable- friend and confident. 1t is so
afraid that it will not be regarded as
Republican sheet under any and all cir
cumstances that it sometimes makes itself
ridiculous by its partisan utterances.
In its Tuesdays issue, speaking of the
report that the President had about de-
cided to appoint sMr. oscar S. Straus TO
the Turkish mission, it said: ut may be
imagined, and probably accepted that the
alleged nomination of Oscar S. Straus to
the Turkish mission is merely an example
of diseased vanity running into delirium
in the presense of a reporter and the form
of an interview 1t would be very diff
cult even for William Mckinley himself
TO convict William Mckinley of insincerity
in his lifelong advocacy of the principles
of protection. He could take no more
practical means of producing evidence of
that quality-which he has never been ac-
cused of possessing-than by the appoint
ment to so high a post of a free trader
of Mr.. Straus' peculiar politico-commer-
cial stripe. But were the President NOR
ally capable of such an act-of which only
his Economically minded appointed has
accused him-even in contemplation, his
notable political discretion would guard
him, We may be assured from the error
of affronting the entire protectionist senti-
ment of New York"
The Press closes its article by remarking,
that the story that the President had de-
cided to appoint Mr.. Straus was Incredible.
And yet MIR. Straus name was sent to
the Senate as minister to Turkey the very
day that the Press article was published
What is the Press going to do about it?
win it accept Mr. Sraus' nomination in
silence or will it announce its withdrawal
from the Republican party? 1t is probable
that it isn't a matter of much. consequence
to either the public or the President which
course it elects to pursue.
MIR. Straus will make an excellent minis
ter to Turkey. He held that place under
Mr. Clevelands first administration, and
gave great satisfaction. His success UNI
der MIR. Cleveland is the reason, probably,
that he was nominated for the same place
by President Mckinley.
Mr. Straus is a native of Georgia. Tai
bottom was his home for many years. He
left there for New York. In which city
he has won both fame and fortune.

1t maybe that President Mckinley thinks
that what the Sultan needs in his king

cAMEL's EXPERIENCE.
sat Down 30 Mseh That His Hind
Legs Became Useless.

sat Down 30 Mseh That His HAD
Legs Became Useless.
A large camel which was landed at
IIoboken a few days ago from the
Bremen line steamer Dresden had an
experience which probably never before
fell to the lot OF a ship of the desert )
He made the voyage in large box,
ind ~ there wasn't room enough in it
foE any self-respecting animal the camel
eat down in aheer disgust. He sat that
way for days and days while the ship
rolled and made all sorts OF heavy
weather. fs
When the detected animal was finally
landed and tried to stand up, he couldn't
use his rear props at all. They had be-
come paralyzed with their long stay in
o cramped position The camel wasn't
any good, it seemed, and, as a big price
had been paid for him, there was gen
eral lamentation. The camel was ''in''
on the lamcntation. Such a picture OF
woe was never seen in Hoboken.
At last genius suggested a radical
cure. The camel, by his advice, was
placed in a sling and hoisted up until
only his toes touched the ground. He
paddled the Dir for o spell with his fore
legs, and finally the rear props came to
life and joined in the exercise. They
lowered him to the floor, and, after he
had tested his rear legs somewhat gin
gerly, he was as good as new. But he
doesn't sit down any more. Once was
enough for him.

The nIischievous Magpic

The MischievOus Magpic.
To the Editor OF THE HERALD:
| | wonder there is not some means de-
vised for the determination Of the de-
testable magpie, considering his de-
structive work on stock.
1t is useless for one person to wage
war on them, as the country is literally
alive with them aud they can migrate
so rapidly.
These birds select for their victims
weak and rundown stock, and by in
cessant teasing the poor animals at
length become discouraged and worn
out and scarcely try to resist their tor
mentors.
Commencing on brands-any sign of
sore back and even weak, young ami
mals-they peck and eat till running
sores and loss Of blood kills the beast, IL
unprotected.
have known them to eat into horses
backs till the spine seemed to be af-
fected, and the animal became too sore
and stiff to get up when down. Have
seen horses with icicles of blood down
their sides and which died from the
pain and loss of blood. and have now q
work horse which two weeks ago had
never sign of sore back, but now has
a terrible running sore with appear
ances of blood poisoning and seems in
durable, it being about two inches deep
just by the back bone.
For years l have wondered-donbtless
many others have also-why these pests
| are allowed to exist. In cases of blotch-
ing and mutilation of brands they are
quite convenience and are often made
to play part.
II but nominal reward was placed
on each head there would be an incen-
tive to boys and encouragement to all to
help in the determination which would
save vast amount of suffering for poor
unfortunate animals, to say nothing of
the loss annually by them. If only in a
financial view magpie tax would be
an economy. A. IL. Nc.

j. r. pigg. Of Windsor, Mo-, was the
lowest bidder for the route between
Craig and Baggs, the gentleman OF the
porcine name agreeing to carry mail on
this route for $3.50 per year. t
p. F. Stillings. OF London, Ky, was
the lowest bidder for the Craig.A Axiai
route at $1,000; and also the Crnig.
Pagoda route at sll2.
1t is evident that these, parties are not
familiar with the Routt county mail
routes, for it is utterly impossible TO
give good service at the prices named in
their bids. 1t is also certain that they
cannot sub-let their contracts, for no one
in this section .couid afford to do the
work even at a considerably higher rate
than they have offered to render the
service.-Craig Courier.
The above are in keeping with the
Rifle -Axia! bid, mention Of which was
made last week, and would indicate
that some people imagine that there's a
mint of money to be made in carrying
mail for Uncle Sam. Heretofore it has
been no task' At all to get persons to
carry the mail for a less sum than the
bid calls for, and the original contractor
often made nice yearly bonus. About
the only way to put stop to such reck-
less bidding. which if continued is bound
to impair the efficiency OF tho ser
vice, is for residents of this section to
refuse emphatically to carry It for such
figures when the contractor comes
round to sub-let it. On the contrary,
make the bidder 90 down in his jeans
and dig up.
