THE DUTY OF MOTHERS
At the First Sign of Disfiguring
HumOrS Is to Use CutiCura.

Every child born into the world
with an inherited tendency to tortur-
ing, disfguring humors of the Skin
and Scalp, becomes an object of the
most tender solicitude, not only be-
cause of its suffering, but because of
the dreadful fear that the designation
is to be lifelong and mar its future
happiness and prosperity. Hence it
becomes the duty of mothers of such
afflicted children to acquaint them
selves with the best, the purest, and
most effective treatment available,
VIZ: the Cuticura Treatment, consist
ing of warm baths with Cuticura Soap,
and gentle anointings with Cuticura
Ointment, the great Skin Cure. Cures
made in childhood are speedy, per-
manent, and economical.

THE REVENUE KILLING.
A Statement of The Killing of Jernigan
i'm Duplin County.

The matter of the case of Downing
land Stancell, the revenue men, who,
on a road in Duplin county killed a
Mr.. Jernigan, is arousing much inter-
est, it having been removed to the
Federal court Cor trial in Raleigh.
A gentleman of Warsaw, in a pri-
vate letter to friend i'm Raleigh, says
that on the evidence Downing and
Stancill deliberately and wilfully
killed Jernigan. AS the matter from
the Downing and Stancill view has
been published we print the following
from the letter:
1.-The facts by eye witnesses are that
these revenue people found an Illicit
|still in Goshen swamp, four or five
hundred yards from Mr.. Jernigan's s
house; that when they approached
two men ran from the still. AT that
time Mr.. Jernigan, the deceased, was
at his home, as can be shown by his
family. He heard some shooting down
there and went down there for the
purpose of learning about it. There
were eye witnesses, who are now liv-
ling present with Downing and STAN
lcll who say that Mr.. Jernigan APP
preached near enough to see them and
turned and went back towards his
house: that Downing and Stancill spied
him as he turned, and without a word
of warning, followed to him to halt,
which doubtless he did not hear, and
Immediately shot him in the back and
killed him. There are half dozen
witnesses in Mount Olive to whom
Downing said: II shot the - and
intended to kill him." This
is a short statement of the evidence
that would be produced at the trial
by witnesses, part of whom were
not related to the deceased"
. h.
Tended in the Federal court by Dis
trict Attorney Harry Skinner, and the
prosecution will probably be aided by
the solicitor of the Duplin district.

munitions of war for the Isle of Pines.

Reval. Dec. 15.-delayed.-The new
conscripts refuse to report for duty.
There are constant revolutionary
meetings and, especially by Socialists.
No disorders have occurred here.
There is the greatest alarm, however,
over the situation in Livonia and at
Riga from which people are fleeing.
Revolutionary bands have cot the
railroad and telegraph lines and iso-
lated Riga and they refuse TO allow
trains to pass from the southeast. A
train from Dorpat was fired upon and
a dozen passengers were killed or
wounded. A shot into the boiler dis
abied and brought the train to a stand
still. The passengers defended them
selves as best they could. Untif the
fortunate arrival of fifty Cossacks who

A Man.=aIinc HORSE.
Btory OF Beautiful Stallion That Had
Killed Two Men.

A fearful beast is bad horse. One
really has more chance against tiger.
Geronimo stood seventeen hands high
and weighed over 1900 pounds. When
he reared on his hind legs and came
for you screaming, his teeth swapping
like bear traps, his g. name flying,
a man seemed tiny antagonist indeed.
One blow from those front hoofs and
your troubles were over. Once down
he'd trample, bite and kick you until
your own mother would hesitate to
claim the pile of rags and jelly he left.
He had served two men so already;
nothing but his matchless beauty saved
his life.
Nowhere could one find better eX-
ample of the satanic than when lie
tore around his corral in a tantrum, as

His name stood on end; his eyes and
nostrils We're of color; the muscles
looked 10 be bursting through the
silken gloom of his coat His swift
ness was something incredible. lie
caught and horribly killed Jim Bax-
ter's hound before it could get out
of the corral-and bear hound is a
pretty agile animal.
We fed and watered Geronimo with
a pitchfork, and In terror then, for his
slyness and cunning were on par
with his other pleasant peculiarlties.
One of the poor devils he killed entered
the stable all unsuspecting. Geronimo
had broken his chains and stood close
against the wall of his stall in the
darkness, waiting. The man came
within reach. Suddenly black mass
of flesh flashed in the air above him,

CHEAP INVITATIONS.

Cheap imitation of good things is
seen a great deal, and gives tawdry
look to gowns. Avoid laces and rib
bons unless they are good, says the
Boston Sunday Herald. False jewelry
is always bad taste, and yet women
with beautiful jewels CT their own go
mad over imitation ones. If you can
not have the real, do without. Nothing
SO stamps woman.
Walk along the street some day and
look only at the feet of the women you
pass. You will be astonished and hor-
fed to find perhaps only one whose feet
are well shod. Every one can afford
to have a pair Of trees, as skeleton
shapes can be bought and will ut any
shoe or slipper in that size.
The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1905-02-08

Start with good outfit of shoes, one
pair for wet weather, whether boots
or low shoes with cork soles; another
for ordinary wear, and two patent
leather pairs, for street and for dress
occasions; the latter with high heels
and thinner soles. That amount is abb
solutely necessary, apart from brown
shoes or slippers. Keep them on trees
and well cleaned. and not only will you
be well shod, but you will save tre-
mendously.
One pair of shoes will not do for
everything. They not only look bad,
but the constant wear and tear soon
finishes them. Give up other things, If
you have 10, but try it once and you
will never go back to your old way.

eAlLADE OF HEARTS DESIRE.
BY THOMAS woop STEVENS.

With fame upon the bugles blown
And waves of lances on the plain,
Men harvest where the fields are sown
With death, and tears are like the rain; ;
By pomp and craft and high disdain
They build and pass, to sleep with Tyre,
Who spend their souls to seek-in vain
The glory of the Kings Desire
And men there are who stone on stone
Uprear unto the lord of gain
High temples that they call their own
While Fortune smiles before her fame;
Who tempt the seas and learn to reign
Above the spirit of the fire,
And driving still, may still attain
The worship OF the Worlds Desire.
And some who hold for fleet and throne
No homage-and no homage feign,
Who kneel before one shrine alone. :,
Who know one love, and one loves pain;
For them the winter in the lane
Chills not the spring7song of the Tyre;
For them one law, orte dream, one
chain
The guerdon OF the Hearts Desire. .
I'ENVOI.
Sweet, when the tyrants all are slain,
The temples dark with Fortunes ire,
Still in thine eyes let me regain
The glory of the Hearts Desire.
The Criterion.
