"You have. thoroughly read up the geology
of the tract in question:"
"I have not"
"You have not?"
'No, sir"
"I ask the jury to notice that the witness
fatty contradicts himself. Now, sir, if you

Scalp Humor Cured by Cuticura
Soap and Ointment After All
Else Had Failed.

IT was troubled with severe scalp
humor and loss of hair that gave me a
great deal of annoyance and inconven-
fence. After unsuccessful efforts with
many remedies and so-called hair tonics,
friend induced me to try Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. The humor was cured in
a short time, my hair was restored as
have since, been entirely free from any
further annoyance. I shall always use
Cuticura Soap, and I keep the Ointment
on hand to use as dressing for the hair

when we got off the steamer and
tried to find the widow who robbed
dad Of his roll of money, but never
found her, we were about the last pas
sengers to reach the train, and when
we got ready to get on we found these
English cars that open on the sides,
and they put you into box stall with
some other live stock, and lock you
in, and once in awhile guard opens
the door to see if you are dead from
suffocation, or have been murdered by
the other passengers. Dad kicked on
going in one of the kennels the first
thing, and said he wanted a parlor
car; but the guard took dad and gave
him q shove, and tossed me in on top
of dad, and two other passengers and
a woman in the compartment snick-
cred. and dad wanted to fight all of
'em except the woman.
when the door closed dad told the
guard he would walk on his neck when
the door opened, and that he was not

for dog biscuit. Gee, but that guard
was mad, and he gave dad look that

to dad to get out his revolver, because
the other passengers looked like hold
up men, and he took his revolver out
of his satchel and put it in his pistol
pocket, and looked fierce, and the
woman began to act faint, while the

way train robbers make passengers
hold up their hands.
when l went back in the car dad
was talking to the woman about her
resembling woman he used to know
in the states, and he was just going
to ask her how long she had been so
beautiful, when the guard came to the
side door and called the woman out
into another stall, and then one of the
passengers pulled out pair of hand.
