The SEeighbors' Prediction
Miqht Come True.

Mrs. w. Il. Tewksbuy, of South
Atkinson, Maine, tells an interesting
story concerning her baby daughter.
1t is partly pathetic, too.
l cannot tell IL precisely as she tells
1t, because / am not mother; but !
can tell it without adding to the facts.
When the baby was only four weeks
old punches formed under her eyes.
These punches increased, the child
suffered terribly, her eyes watered con-
tinually, her cheeks lost all color, and
then-the trouble having become much
worse-the heavy hearted mother feared
that the neighbors' prediction, that
she would not raise the little one, might
come true.
There were now sad days.
The mother tenderly cared for the
little, innocent eyes, but all in vain,
and then doctor, who thought the
trouble arose from obstruction OF the
tear passages, made an incision at the
side OF each eve. Just think OF it
A great deal of matter was dis
charged, and temporary relief afforded;
but the punches remained as large as
ever, and the mother bore the same
burden OF Anxiety the child might not
lire.
Then came sadder days, for two
sores, which were regarded as ominous,
broke out on the little sufferers head.
At this time the mother read of the
terrible symptoms and wonderful cure
OF the scrofulous baby OF Mrs. N.
Guerinot, Rochester, n. Y.
She concluded that her child was
afflicted with scrotula, and thought
the treatment which cured the Guerinot
baby might do as much for her own,
though her husband was doubtful.
She wrote to Mrs. Guerinot and upon
receiving kind reply, confirming what
she had read, bought a bottle OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla, a cake OF Hoods
Medicated Soap and a box OF Hoods
Olive Ointment.I
She now felt more hopeful; there was
less darkness in her life; for she be-
lieved she had secured the means OF
permanently relieving her little one,-
nay, Of Saving its life.
She gave the sarsaparllla in doses of
two drops at first, washing the punches
and sores with the soap, and applying
the ointment; and in less than week
she noticed improvement.
Rejoicing, she continued the treat
ment, gradually increasing the dose OF
sarsaparilla from two to ten drops.
And on Oct. %, 1900, she said, with
gratitude beaming in her face, that she
could not say too much in praise of
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for, assisted by the
Olive Ointment and the Medicated Soap,
it had removed the punches and
brought about the healing of the in
cisions, and had otherwise wonderfully
improved the child. One sore had healed
and only a scab remained of the other.
And she also said, We firmly believe
Hoods Sarsaparills is wonderful
medicine, and we hope II any notice Of
our bahy's case be published, it will
induce mothers having afflicted chill,
dren to give Hoods Sarsaparilla and
other preparations trial.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is unequaled for
the complete eradication OF serofula
and the permanent cure of all its mani
festations, punches, tumors, cutaneous
eruptions, inhamed eyes, sore ears,
ricketts,, wasting and general debility.
1t Is sold by all druggists.

Of the first New Jerssy regiment, was
shot and probably fatally wounded by
Thomas q Barker on Beach street near
Midland avenue, Arlington this morn
ing. MIR. Keller had Just left the house
of John Sands, where he ate his meals,
when Barker, who was In front OF the

through the facial bone from the right,
destroyed the sight OF the right eye, and
after tsaring through the nasal bone,
buried itself beneath the skin on the
right side OF the face. Another bullet
shattered the fingers Of the right hand
and another passed through the clergy

a story told by Barker to several friends
after the shooting his wife last night told
him that the iIIpess from which she has
suffered for nesriy year and which
caused the Barkers to break up their
home and go to boarding was due to an
assault committed on her at her home BY
the Rev. MIR. Keller. The assault, 1t is
alleged, was committed after hard
struggle during which Mrs. Barker be-
came UNCONSCIOUS. The Barkers andsthe
minister were very friendly and had con-
tinued apparently friendly. Mrs. Barker
was a member OF the mi ssion, but her
husband was not. When Barker heard
his wife story he waited until morning
ana then lay in wait for the minister and
shot him. Barker has lived In Arlington
about ten years. He is about thirty nine
years old and for many years has been
in the employ of the Commercial Cable
comrany, being in charge OF one OF the
departments In New York.
The Rev. Mr. Keller Is about thirty
eight years old and a ssnatiye of Phila-
deIphia. He was a graduate from the
general theological seminary in New
York In 1886 ana the same year was made
a deacon. In 1883 Mr.. Keller WAS made
chaplain to Bishop Starkey and in 1895
was made chaplain of the First regiment,
but at the solicitation OF the Bishop, did
not go ith tha regiment when it was
called out during the Spanish war. len
years ago last May he was made secre.
tary OF the diocese and still holds that
position.

SHORT SKIRT HOLDS sway
IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Teachers of Honolulu Have UNIVERSAL
ly Adopted II for Use in Their
Classroom.

To be comfortable: or to be pretty {?
That is the question. Shall We with
stand the filings and arrows of the
outrageous small-boy and take up
RIms and skirts against the seas of
their opprobrium and without regard
ing the aesthetic shock given their
tender natures. wear the short skirt?
This question in one form or another
has agitatedt he minds of the teachers
of the schools of this city for long
time. Sometimes they come TO the
conclusion that the opinion of the dis
quieting small-boy is OF no real value
and that in order TO show people that
the teachers of this community are
above bowling TO such opinions they
decide in spasmodic fashion to assert
their independence by wearing snort
skirts and keep out OF the mud.
About three quarters of the teachers
wear the short skirt habitually and the
number of the unterrified at the pres
eut time is steadily increasing.
The dress affected by the emancipat-
ed women of the schools is not so bad

Whether a woman looks well In

man. Just as IL does under any other
