CURED BY CUTICURA
Not One Square Inch of Skin OA His Whole Body Was
 Unaffected.

"My little son, boy of i've, broke out with an itching rash. Three doc tors prescribed for him, but he kept getting worse until we could not dress him any more. They finally advised me to try a certain medical college, but it's treatment did not do any good. At the time was induced to try Cutteura Remedies he was so bad that had to cut his hair of and put the Cuticura Ointment on him on bandages, as it was impossible to touch him with the bare hand. There was not one square Inch of skin on his whole body that was not affected. He was one mass of sores. The bandages used to stick to his skin and in removing them it used to take the skin ffWith them, and the screams from the poor child were heart-break- ing. I began to think that he would never get well, but after the second application of Cutlcura Ointment l began to see signs of improvement, and with the third and fourth applica- tions the sores commenced to dry up. His skin peeled of twenty times, but It finally yielded to the treatment. l used the Cuticura Resolvent for his blood, and now I can say that he Is entirely cured, and 6 stronger and healthier boy you never saw than he is today"
 ROBERT WATTAM, 1922 Center Ave-, Chicago, H., Dec.
 30, 1897.
 No return in six years, Mr. Wattam writes, Feb. 23, 1908.
 Your letter of the 2Ist in regard to the case of my little boy at hand. am truly thankful to say that the cure effected by the Cuticura Remedies has been a most thorough and successful cure to date"

Fit has led to a rather interesting re- lection, said a man who takes much interest in animal life. For awhile the rats oyerran my place. At night there was no such thing as quiet around the house. They would scamper across the floor. bump up and down the steps and cut all kinds of cspers. We secured a cat. and from the very time the cat ap- peared on the place the rats began to get scarce.
 There is nothing curious about this fact in itself But to my personal knowledge the rats have never seen the |cat.> The cat has remained on one floor and the rats on another. There has been no chasing and no conflict be- tween them. Now, I want to know how the rats know the cat is on the place.
 The inquiry has caused me to in- dulge the more interesting reflection; How far can a rat detect the presence |of a cat by the sense of smell? Eyi- dently at considerable distance. Else the rats at my place would not have known of the cats presence under the circumstances. I'm quite sure that they have never seen the cat. But they know he is there just the same, and they have been awfully cautious since his arrival. New, Orleans Times Democrat

WRITE NOTES TO THEMSELVES.

WRITE NOTES TO THEMSELVES.
 Actors are great hands to write mash notes to themselves" said a stage manager The leading young men, you see-the heroes that marry the beautiful girls-are supposed to at tract to the theater nyriads of young women. They draw big pay on this ac- count, their friends talk seriously of the powerful, almost hypnotic influences that they exert on romantic females. This power is the stock in trade of the actor who travels on his beauty instead of on his art, and he must always have tangible proof of it.
 So if the young women don't come up each mail with bunch of authentic mash notes he sees to it, anyway, that he gets mash notes all right. He times them so that they reach the theater during rehearsal. The manager every afternoon brings them to hinl--a half dozen pink and blue and cream envel- |opes, smelling of violet and orris. He takes them with guffaw, reads them, passes them around. Every one pre- tends to be amused at their silly con- tents. but the minute the actors back IS turned the murmur passes back and forth; They're fakes. He wrote them himself. He spends two hours day writing himself mash notes.
 ITO tell the truth, the actor gets number of authentic mash notes, but nobody believes it. It is thought that every note is fake. Washington Post

LION ROCK.
You Get a Fine View, but the Get

You Get a Fine View, but the Get
 Downing is Bad.
 When once on the citadel summit of Lion rock one had the sensation of be- ing perched on pinnacle and over looking all Ceylon. The view swept the whole horizons circle of mountains and far stretching plain; but except for Dambool's black rock nearest at hand nothing had any identity or any association to one, and not a trace of human existence or mans handiworlS asserted itself. All was green jungle, green hillside, and far azure heights, the glint of some tank alone relieving the great stretches of green. There was no sound, save the strokes of the work mems picks as they dug down in the last possible treasure vault, and when a coolic, who had been wedding the steep rock edges, hanging in space with a rope around his waist and treading where no chamois could find footing when this black apparition came up over the edge of the air it startled one out of all reason.
 The descent along the slanting grooves moving each foot cautiously ahead and sitting where the last foot had been, might have been more terrifying than the ascent but for the fact that one has become accustomed to the airship view; the eye had fixed it's focus and accepted naturally landscapes without foreground or middle distance. There was nothing but space and ether be- yond the handrail, and ones boot tips overhung the whole, sheer 500 feet drop to the level earth.
 While tourist hands clung ignobly to handrail, and rock groove, and tourists slowly ''swarmed," as the small boy calls it, worming over the rock face as slow caterpillars might move, the bithe archaeologist walked erect, even did highland reel steps in the air and trip ped the wall that slanted 59.9 degrees, talking gayly of art and archaeology,

But, as often happens in such cases. the child of the first marriage was ter lribly neglected. One night, when the fold man had gone to bed in the kitchen. where the child also slept. he saw the first husband come into the room and proceed to wash and feed the child and do all that was necessary for its com fort. He then departed. adjuring the cid man to say nothing of all that he had seen. This was repeated on sue { ceeding nights, and the old man could not stand these ghostly ylsitations. So one morning he told his hostess that on the following day he must leave. The woman divined that there was some lthing behind the pretext that he made for leaving. and ultimately got the sto- ry out of him.
 That night, accordingly. she watched through the keyhole of the kitchen door until she saw her first mate at his char .itable work. Then she called to him through the keyhole. and asked him all the questions she could to do him harm. i q do not quite understand this, but 50 it was told to mel Finally she bade him betake himself to a certain spot on the road, where solitary tree over hung bridge.
 And" said my informant, 'the man lwho told me the story, and who never told lie, said that he had often passed that way at night and heard the man Imoaning underneath the bridge" The lsecond husband, who had overheard Iwhat passed, also took himself off, for he said that if that was the way she treated her first husband there was no knowing what she might do with the Isecond.
 I have since learned that similar sto- lries are current in Donegal. but with the variation that it is the mother who dies and the father who marries again, the first wife returning to tend the neg lected children.
 The next two stories are of death warnings, and here again l do not re- member to have come across anything exactly like them. The first runs thus:
 Some years ago there was a young man Iwho was engaged with others in the business of illicit distilling. They car Tried on their malting operations in a leave, to which they lowered themselves land their materials by means of ropes, The fact that there was no other means Iof approaching the cave made it, of course, very convenient for their pur- lpose. On the morning in question the Iyoung man was standing on the edge oi the cliff, waiting for his turn to de- Iscend: Behind him, little higher up the cliff, was a sack of barley, which also had to be lowered. Suddenly, with lout any warning, the sack toppled over, fell against the young man. knocking him off his balance, so that he fell on to the rocks below, and though he was not killed on the spot, he died very shortly afterward. The night preced- ling the accident he had slept, not at his Town home, but in the house of an uncle, in order to be nearer to the scene of op- lerations. When he got up in the morn ing he found the window Of his bed room all sprinkled with red stains like ldrops of blood. The friend who told me the story said that he had himself seer these marks, which the people of the

Texan Calls Boasts of

Subjects.

Representative Morris Sheppard OF
Texas, who is one of the junior mem
pers of the House. although ina is serv-
ing his second term, made a tariff speech
in the House several days ago which his
colleagues and all who heard or read
his argument are willing to admit was
worthy Of much older and more ex-
perienced legislator
He made a clean. clear cut argument
which showed that he had given much
study and thought TO his subject. lis
language was well chosen and his de-
livery was forcible. SC that ne com
manded the attention of the House
something which Few young members
and not many OF the older ones are able
TO do
Mr. Sheppard was speaking of the fact
that the Republican party boasts OF the
responsibility for the countrys pros
perl,~. ard lays claim to credit for all
the f,'sd things Of life.
VIZ would not be surprised" cx-
claimed Mr.. Sheppard, Ito see some Re

near the line dividing the amateur
from the professional player.
As to the lowering Of ideals by the
athletic craze, there n much to be
said on both sides of this. In so far
as young men generally are led to pay
attention to physical development. the
effect is good; it will make more diff
ference, fifty years from now. whether
the majority OF students in our col
leges were able to run, leap, and wres-
tie than whether they knew a great
deal of Latin and Greek. 1t IS I'M
questionably better for boys engaged
IN athletics to work off superhuous
energy in that way rather than in
hazlng. sprees, or dangerous featS
such as caused the death of Yale
student the other day. If we are to
Danish from colleges all elements Of
possible danger, why not abolish the
cliffs at Iale2 1t would be quite as
practicable as some of the other
things suggested.
Some people are inclined to be sar-
castle about the prominence given To
the athlete as against the student.
But young man who has 1t in him
to be brilliant student will not be
deferred by lack OF newspaper head
lines; and if the decreased promi-
nence of brilliant scholarship lessons

overwork at college and have brain
fever and die, or graduate with heads

their society Is unbearable, so much
the better The college athlete, to his
credit be it said, is seldom a bully;

other nations were sauguine enough
to suppose that all Japan was turn

certainly ridiculous, in the light Of
the fact that the civilization was
