AT NIGHT.
Baby Scratched Until Face Was Raw
and Blecding-Eczema Cured
by Cuticura.

For over two years my little baby girl
suffered with a raw, itching and painful
eczema on her head and face, the pain
causing her to scream day and night, and
my wife could get no rest. We tried sew
eral doctors, but without success. Unless
we kept her hands tied she would scratch
until her face was like raw beef. One cake
Of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuti'
cura Ointment completely cured her,
healing her face without mark or hlem'

where | could watch the wild boar
when they came in for their evening
meal at the feeding ground. In work
ing their way through the snow, they
had made deep and narrow trails to
and from the places they wished to
| visit, and along these they were in the
habit of passing, sometimes singly and
sometimes a dozen together in single
file.
1t was not long before | heard in the
distance a grunting and sluealing
which told me the wild pigs were com
ing, and a moment later ! could see a
number walking along in Indian file
well to the east of me, | decided
to change my position, and quietly
worked my way over to another clump
of trees, crossing the bear trail be-
fore mentioned and getting to the
windward of it. The wolf saw the
pigs coming, and erecting the hair on
his back, he set out to meet them.
Long before he reached them they got
his scent. and %"whooing' disgustedly,
they ran back on their own trail. They
did not go far, however, but, coming
to a fork in the tracks, turned and
again headed for the feeding ground,
over the very route | had expected TO
see them on in the first place. felt
sure they would not pass Che point at
which | had crossed this trail, but |
waited to see what they would do,
On came the boar, two little gray
pigs leading, followed by a large one,
almost black, possibly their mother,
and behind her there were half q dozen
more of different sizes. They soon
smelt the coyote, and saw him, too,
for that matter, but after hating for
about a minute they seemed TO decide
that there was nothing very dangerous
about him, and proceeded on their
way.
Almost before he knew it the first
little pig ran into my trail, and he
stopped so quickly that he almost fell
backward over, VITA a wild "whoof"
of disgust and fear. he turned and
ran, the others following his example
en- the instant. Then he seemed to
change his mind, and the whole party
stopped, while the first little pig ad-
vanced, as though to make sure there
was no mistake. AS he reached the
cross trail, he turned back as before,
but, again changing his mind, he
seemd to make a desperate resolve.
He decided to take the risk, and,
gathering all his strength, he dashed
wildly over the hated spot, and sped
away toward the feeding grounds as
madly as sped the pigs which ran
down a steep place into the sea.
All this time the coyote had been
but an interesting spectator, but now,
seeing the little pig isolated, as it were,

after it at the top of his speed. For
a moment both pig and wolf were lost
to sight, but then we heard a rushing
sound. and along the trail came the
coyote, running for his life, with the
little gray boar right close behind him.
As the wolf drew rear me, he bolted
the track, and the pig kept straight on
the trail until he joined his compan-
ions, when the whole herd turned and
dashed off, %grunting and squealing,
into the forest.

CHAMPIONS.

The Russian counter-attack, desper-
ate though 1t had been, had failed to
get home; but the Japanese infantry,
tmmovable itself, was unable to turn
the mass of Russians from behind tho
fold in the ground which they had
reached. Barely 300 PAGES separated
the muzzles Of these opposing lines of
blackened rifles. But that green strip
was impossible to both. In the center
OF the space was mound upon which
Lieutenant Tokugawa's attention was
fixed. This mound, says the author of
1.-THE Yellow War;" exercised the same
fascination upon q tall Russian sub
altern.
The fascination Of the mound
changed to magnetism for the little
Japanese officer. He Is on his feet,
the steel Is bare in his hands. and he
Is racing for the mound. A shout goes
up, cheer in which both sides join
The tall subaltern has jumped to his
feet he has accepted the challenge, and
stands erect at the base of the mound,
awaiting the onrush Of his dim1nutive
adversary. As If by instinct the battle
in the vicinity accepts the trial by
champion.
The tall Russian lowers his guard,
and bows slightly. He will take no
mean advantage. The little Japanese
Is quick to detect the courtesy i'm
piled, and, not to be outdone, 1nclines
his head, and then they close in NOR
tai combat.
The blades flash high and low for a
moment; the clash of steel is audible
to both fighting lines. Then a murmur
goes up from the onlookers, blade has
been flung clearI 1t Is the Russian
who is disarmed.
The subaltern springs back and then
closes upon his adversary with his
naked hands. Tokugawa, with the
! agility of a squirrel, leaps sideways.
The two-handed sword Of his fathers
Is raised to strike, but no. the blow
never falls. Tokugawa filings his weap-
| on from him, and then man to man
with naked hands the champions close.
By some occult leverage, some subtle
science, Tokugawa filings his great op-
ponent to the ground, and kneels upon
his chest. Again the cheer rings out.
The Russians join, for the magnanimi-
ty Of the discarded sword has not es-
| capped them.
Tokugawa jumps clear, and, extend
Ing his hand, helps the Russian to his
feet. For a moment the two men
stand with hands clasped, then they
salute and turn. The cheer rises afresh
as they stride back to their respective
lines. A moments pause. The jap
anese reinforcements have arrived, and
with mighty shout the Japanese ad-
vance.
