Christian Endeavor Society.

The Young Peoples Society for
Christian Endeavor was twenty-five
years old in 1904, and it's founder, the
Rev. DR.. F. E. Clark, says that was
one of its most prosperous years. 1t
has thriven amazingly during its COM
paratively short career and now has
G5.327 societies all told, with an aggre-
gate membership of 3,O19,G00.
In Europe the number of societies
doubled last year. and there are now
about 500. The order has extended into
China and Japan; in the latter coun-
try ten different denominations are
united in the association, the Presby-
tefians leading. India has over 500
societies; there is one in Jerusalem;
the Armenian Christians have taken it
up; Persia reports forty associations:
Syria, twenty; Korea about dozen,
and they are scattered here and there
throughout Africa wherever mission
airy efforts have extended. 1t is firmly
rootel in Australia and last year the
junior rally in Melbourne called to-
gether 10000 boys and girls with their
fathers and mothers.

for IS.

"A scab formed on my baby's face
spreading until it completely covered
her from head to foot, followed by
boils, having forty on her head at one
time, and more on her body. Then
her skin started to dry up and it be-
came SO bad she could not shut her

with Cuticura Soap and Ointment
made a complete cure. Doctors and

nervous, complained of sharp pains in

have to leave the school room to get fresh
air to revive her. l gave some pills to her.
She took only a few boxes, but they cured
her troubles, and caused her to develop
into a perfect picture of health. Then my
husband took them for rheumatism and
found that they would cure that too. So

FAMOUS WESTERN SCOUT.
old-Time Po.y Express Rider and cE'
rier Visits Denver.

Pony Bob" whose real name is
Robert II. Hasiam, is in Denver en-
route from his home in Chicago to
Cody, Wyoming, to attend the divorce
proceedings of his old partner of the
plains. Col. William F. Cody. Pony
Bob" is one of the most famous of the
I'D scouts of the plains of the time of
Buffalo Bill still in the land OF the liv-
ing. Despite his 65 years he appears
as lively and youthful as a man of 40.
AT the mention of his old life on the
plains, the former scouts eyes light
up, and "reminiscences, by the score,
come to the end of his tongue. Pony
Bob in his youthful days was the hero
of many exciting incidents. Perhaps
one of the most thrilling was when he
rode through an ambush of Piute In
dians carrying news of Lincoln's cleo
tion in 1861. He carries a half dozen
arrow wounds as reminder of that
Derilous trip. One arrow carried away
seven front teeth; another fractured
the lower jaw in two places; another
pierced the left arm, and others
landed in other places on his body.
Pony Bob rode 120 miles in a little
more than eight hours that trip.
Mr.. i1aslam was pony express
| rider for the old Ben Holiday line
when that line was sold to the Well
| Fargo company in 1860. His route was
from Smiths creek to Fort Churchill,
In Nevada. a distance of 125 miles.
| He went through this country in
| 1857 as a courier with Col. Albert T.
| Johnston's forces, which was sent to
quell the Mormon disturbances. Col
onel Johnston afterward became Gen
eral Johnston of the Confederate army
! nnd was killed at the battle of Shiloh.

Salary for City Officials.

Lancaster should abolish the vii
lage idea of compelling mayors and
aldermen to spend their time for
nothing. There was a time when
perhaps the mayors and aldermen
were not so taxed as to official dut-
les, but in these days they are kept
very busy, especially the mayor.
The duties of an alderman take up
good share of his time, much
more than the average citizen
would suppose, but he does not get
a cent for his services, and his fell
low citizens sponge on him just as
freely as they do on the time of the
mayor. The compensation need
not be large, but sufficient to REIN.
burse the city fathers for a portion
at least of the time they are com.
PEELED to devote to attending to af.
fairs devolving upon them.
