MRS. porTsEY stood on the top

MRS POTTSEY stood on the top
" most round Of the ladder of fame
erected by the people Of Shultisville.
She had been placed in her exalted
position by the male portion of the
community, as shining example of
what woman should be, and used by
it as prod to the energies of the re-
luctantly admiring and secretly en-
vious female inhabitants. The con-
census Of opinion was expressed BY
Deacon Wilson when he said:
"Shes the best worker fur Ten
miles round, and rs got ~ up

From this 1t may readily be gath
cred that the villagers' standard of
excellence in woman was not beauty
nor intellectual gifts, but ability to
work.
Mrs. Pottsey's capacity in this dirss-
tion was a never ending source Of con-

Whether these strenuous exsrtions
on the part of his spouse had so wear

ANY itchiness of the skin is annoying.
Little danger in itching skin diseases.
But they make You miserable.
Donn's Ointment is never failing.
For Piles, Eczema and all itching skin
troubles.
clarksburg people endorse this.
Andrew S. Crisis, retired wagon max
or of 2O3 Mechanic street, corner of Sec
ong street, says: "For healing and al
laying irritation Doan's Ointment is a
marvel. A peculiar eruption on my scalp
annoyed me for several months. The
itching was something terrible, and if
rubbed it, it bled and greater irritation
followed, which ended in soreness. a
brief use of Doan's Ointment which
md the good fortune to learn about and
which was procured at Wells & Haymak-
er's drug store, gradually contracted the
area Of the parts affected until it com
plete dried up. I cannot too strongly
express my appreciation Of Doan's oint'
ment In hopes that this statement may
be the means of giving others who may
be annoyed in a similar way as l chance
TO obtain the same results, is the reason
why allow my statement to be pub
