A lawyer %practicing before the bar
OF New York City relates an amusing
instance of the propensity of a certain
Judge Of a circuit court to regard all
questions from the standpoint Of the
Judiciary.
One day it appears that a traveller,
stopping at the gate of the country
house owned by the Judge, inquired
politely of the owner, sitting on the
veranda, whether he would be good
enough to indicate the road 80 New
burg.
"Take the one Immediately to your
right" was the reply, says Associated
Sunday Magazine.
The traveller thanked his informant
and continued his journey. Several
hours later he returned, and the judge
was still on the versDda.

uncoucealed indignation. "you must be

The stranger who visits the average
town to hold revival meetings is often
imposed upon. When he appeals to
his audience to stand up and that he
wants to see the hand of every man
raised who feels that be is in close fell
lowship with God, and every old hyp-
ocrite in the audience pushes his hand
high toward the ceiling, the evangelist
is impressed with the sRnctified con-
dition of the community. But the
resident minister lie not thus fooled,
even though those who hold up their
hands and bow in prayer most devoutly
are regular occupants Of the amen

the sheep from the goats. The man
in any community who lie really a
christian is known as such; no matter
what may be his professions, If be is a
fraud, bis neighbors know that, too.

CURED BY CUTICURA
IN ONE MONTH

A grateful mother, in the following
letter, tells Of another of those mar
velous by Cuticura: When
my baby was four months old her
skin broke out with a humor. took
her to a doctor, who said it was
eczema. He gave me medicine to
give her, but she kept getting worse
all the time. Her little face and body
were so covered with sores and large
scales you could not tell what she
looked like. No child ever had a
worse case. Her face was being eaten
away, and even her finger nails fell
off. Then il itched so She could not
sleep, and for many weary nights we
could get no rest. At last we got

bathing her in warm water with the
Soap, and then spreading on the ONT
ment with soft cloths. / saw a change
in a week. The sores began to heal,
and she could sleep at night, and in
one month she had not one sore on
her face or body. Any mother hav-
ing children with eczema or hunors
will find a friend in Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. (signedl Mrs. Mary
Sanders, 7oe Spring St., Camden, NJ,

The foregoing statement justi6es
the oft-repeated assertion that Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment afford instant
relief, and permit sleep for baby aud
rest for tired mothers, and points to
a speedy, permanent, and economical
