better, of kealthful hue.
But for a face to be free from
all ugly blemishes, says the Won

of the bleOd be good that the
nervous system be of normal funo-

be in perfect health.
Among the causes which exert
a disastrous influence on the skin

are heredity, indfgestible food, al

medicines (bromides, iodines, ar.

wEBsTER'5 BLU SUIT.
1t Was Dyed il the Wool and the
Color va Indigo.

AoluI was AlulEV
Daniel Webster went TO college
in "a homespun suit, of which prob
ably every thread was carded,
spun and woven 10y his mothers
hand from the wool OF their own
sheep, SAYS the Philadelphia Led
ger. Ii was a dyed-in-thewoOl
suit, and the color was indigo blue,
the old New England color. In
the south it is butternut, but
though our Yankee grandmOth-
ers knew all about what butternut
bark would do and the subtle
power for slate color that lay in
sumac berries and bark of white
maple and various dyes hat root
and flower, bark and leaf could be
made to yield, through the agency
of vitgol and copperas to set
them fast, the universal standby
was the blue pot-par excellence
the "dyepOt" that stood in the
chimney corner of every kitchen
worth narSing.
SO Webster was fitted out in in
digo blue from collar to ankle
unbecOming for his swart skin
and set off grand and sophomore,
Before reaching Hanover there
came on one of those drenching
rains, which, like the Scottish
mists, wet a man to the skin. The
suit held its own for has not indi-
go blue been warranted FAST
since first indigo blue was heard
Off but it had parted with enough
so that Daniel, too, was dyed blue
from head to foot. Webster had
a liberal stratum of sentiment in
his makeup and for some reason
this color Of his young manhood
became his fayOrite wear through
life. He wore blue coats to his
dying day. If anyone ever saw
him in a different one the fact has
not been put on record.
When a lad Daniel Webster
was one day called up by the
teacher for punishment. His
hands happened to be very dirty.
Knowing this he wet the palm Of
his right hand, wiping 1t off on the
side of his pantaloons.
'Give me your hand" said the
teacher, very %sternly.
Out went the right hand, par
italy cleansed. The teacher
looked at it a moment and said;
Daniel, if you will find another
hand in this room as filthy as thar
l will let YOU off this time"
Instantly came from behind his
back the left hand.
"Hepe it is" was the ready re-
ply.
"That will do,T said the teacher;
"for this tire you can take your
seat, sir"

BUcHANAN's LOVE STORY.
How a Piece Of Gossip Spoiled the
Lives OF Two People.

How a Piece Of Gossip Spoiled the
Lives OF Two People.
Among other things the If
teenth president. James Buchan-
an, was remarkable for his life
long fidelity to one woman. writes
Myrtle Reed, in Woman's Home
Companion.
After he left the Legislature,
and took up the practice of law,
he became engaged to Anne Cole.
man, the daughter of Robert Cole
man, Of Lancaster.
One day, out of the blue sky, a
thunderbolt fell. Buchanan re-
ceiyed a note from Miss Coleman
asking him to release her from the
engagement.
There was no explanation forth
coming, and it was not until long
afterward that he discovered that
gossips and busybodies had gone
to Miss Coleman with stories
concerning him which had no
foundation save in their mischief
making imaginations.
After all his efforts at reestab.
fishing the old relation had proved
useless, he wrote to her that if it
was her wish to be released from
the engagement he could not but
submit, as he had no desire to hold
her against her will.
The break came in the latter
part of 1919. He threw himself
into his work with renewed ener-
gy, and later on she went to visit
friends in Philadelphia.
Though she was too proud to ad-
nit it, there was evidence that
the beautiful and high-spirited girl
was suffering from a heartache.
On the ninth of December she died
very suddenly, and her body was
brought home just a week after
she left Lancaster.
The funeral took place the next
day, Sunday, and to Robert Cole,
man, the girls father, the heart
broken man wrote a letter which
in simple pathos stands almost
alone. It is the only document
which remains, but in these few
Zines is hidden a tragedy:
lancaster, December 10, 1919.
my Dear Sir:-You have lost a
child, a dear, dear child. l have
lost the only earthly object of my

presents to me a dreary blank.

at ia now no time for explana-
ton, burt the time viii come when
you will discover that she, as we'll
as |, has been mach abused. God

ings of resentment against them,
