George Butler, little 12-year-old boy, was brought to the office of Chief Wier yesterday by Dairyman Strong, and he tells a pitiful story about being alone in the world and wanting some work to do. Judge Feagin has interested himself in the boy and will probably find employ ment for him today.
 The boy was born in Tennessee and has neither father, mother or brothers. He left his home in Tennessee six years ago and has been going about the country working at various places ever since. Recently he was at work in the big tun- mel near Pell City. He told the chief yes- terday:
 T left Tennessee because they told me that this was a good place and thought I would come down here to live. have been to Gadsden, Atlanta and Pell City. working at the various places.
 'If can get a home I think that l will stay in Birmingham and grow up here. I am willing to work and will do anything that am told to do."
 The boy was sent to the Mercy Home yesterday by Judge Feagin and was given good Thanksgiving dinner. He will remain in the Mercy Home until some place Is found for him.

The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy, have made them the stand ard skin cures and humour remedies of the civilized world.
 The grandest testimonial that can be offered the Cuticura remedies Is their worldwide sale. due to the personal recommendations of those who have used them. From a small beginning in the simplest form. against prejudice and opposition, against monied hosts, countless rivals, and trade indifference, Cuticura remedies have become the greatest curatives of their time, and In fact, of all time, for nowhere in the history of medicine is to be found another approaching them in popularity and sale. In every clime and with every people they have met with the same reception. The confines of the earth are the only limits to their growth They have conquered the world.
