ULCERS FOR 80 YEARS.
Painful Eruptions From Knees to Feet
Seemed lncurable-Cuticura
Ends Misery.

Another of those remarkable cures
by Cuticura, after doctors and all else
had failed, is testified to by Mr.. M.
c. Moss of Gainesville, Texas, in the
following letter: For over thirty
years I suffered from painful ulcers
and an eruption from my knees to
feet, and could find neither doctors
nor medicine to help me, until used
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills,
which cured me in six months. They
helped me the very first time I used
them, and 1 am glad to write this SO
that others suffering as 1 did may be
saved from misery"

Jolly Time for Her.

He had had a bad day of it and was
wondering where there was a corner
where the nickels and dimes would
flow more -plentifully. AS he was
about to cross the street he noticed
kindly, motherly looking woman ap-
preaching. Assuming a most woebe-
gone, destitute expression. he took his
stand on the curb and tentatively
proffered his greasy palm He was
not disappointed She produced a
nickel and said.
Now, 1 want you to understand
that l am giving you this not because
/ think you may be starving or from
any foolish notions of charity, but sim
ply because it gives me pleasure to
do So
.'Well, num- he replied, 'if you
look at it that way, why not make it
a dime and have real jolly good
time ?"-San Francisco Chronicle.

Professor oneken's Translation.

Prof. Oncken, who has been lectur-
ing on languages at the University
of Chicago, attended a gathering of
savants the other evening. The
steam heating plant was in bad work
ing order, and the conversation turn
ed to furnaces.
Herr Oncken, what is the German
word for furnace?" asked one of those
present.
The professor studied a few min.
utes, and then said:
Central heating plant is the only
German equivalent for furnace that
would translate into English"
The professor was as much amused
as the others at not being able to give
a better synonym and the laughter
was general when some one said:
Fancy your wife asking you the
last thing at night: My dear, did
you attend to the central heating
plant?'"

The two were so engrossed in each
other that they did not notice the
entrance of the third person And
surely the two were fascinating enough

She was of the Cleopatra type and
singularly perfect in face and form and
color and grace. Her magnificent
gown was designed to show or suggest
all the beauties of her voluptuous fig
ure Jewels flashed from her hands
and hair and neck and ears. Her dark
eyes sparkled with passion and her
red lips breathed love. She was

He was tall, sinewy. alert, distinctly
handsome, with a broad, intelligent
forehead man to attract attention
anywhere There was something
trif1e shifty about his keen eyes and
something a trife weak about his
lower face and something trif1e SEN
sual about his lips-but this was all
indefnable and apparent only upon
close analysis. AS a whole he was
fine appearing man and he carried him
self as one who had won the fight with
the world.
They were talking eagerly, joyously,
advent of the third person was when
her shadow fell across the table at
which they sat. They glanced up sim
ultaneously, and both looked trifie
startled at first. Then the woman
looked contemptuous and triumphant
and the man looked annoyed and de-
faint.
The third person was a woman
slight of build and her worn face was
surmounted by brown hair plainly
dressed. and was Illuminated by great
gray eyes which would have been beau
tiful had they not been so sad. She
was dressed simply in black.

table after an awkward pause, Ito
what do we owe this-this intrusion"
She spoke with studied insolence.
The third person neither flushed nor
shrank from the insult. She did not
lock at the man at all, but kept a
ste ady and searching gaze upon the
woman at the table, who leaned back
ana famed herself lazily with a price
less fan.

third person in low distinct tones.
The woman at the table shifted I'M

reached out for a jeweled paper knife

The third person smiled sadly.

the table vehemently. "Oh, you cold
