A grateful mother, IN the following
letter, tells of another CT those mar
Vicious cures by Cuticura: "When
my baby was four months old her
skin broke out with 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 it itclied 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

In a week. The sores began TO heal,

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

when anyone says the least bit about the
Ocxia Banner trying to vindicate the much
abused millionaires, the editor takes up the
cudgei and tries to square" them with the
people. He is so afrai, something might be
said to hurt their feelings. Probably he thinks
that after all the people are supplied with Ii
brarles presses will be the next in order Tor
printing books to put IN them. Nothing like
looking charlottesville SUN.
The above insinuations are a bit
unkind.
But why, in truth. is the Ocdla
Banner saying so muchs about the
price of kerosene?
Because John Pearson and his as
sociates, all Ocala people, have Or
ganized big oil company; in their
efforts to strike a gusher they have
already expended something over
thirty thousand dollars; but, still I'M
daunted. they are going along merrily
with the work and are absolutely Ger.
tain that their efforts will eventually
be crowned with success, and when
this time shall have come the gushers
around Beaumont, Sour Lake and
Humble will look like 80 cents.
Having been in the turpentine bust
ness so long, Mr.. Pearson and his as
sociates viii have the natural propen-
sity to stimulate the price of oil, and
we don't want TO see these good
friends of ours crucified on a cross of
gold or otherwise, hence our efforts
to blaze an open pathway for them
TO exercise their wit and genius in
the open markets without being torn
limb from limb by frenzied Tom and
his apostles.

replies to the criticism on his poetry
which recently appeared in the Star,
as follows
Before you shoot the chigger,
Make your words a little bigger.
And then you can pull the trigger
Oh, thou eloquent picnicker.
Your words give me the rigor,
Which you gave with much vignr,
And caused me to take some liquor
Oh, thou eloquent picnicker.

Some time ago the editor of this
paper in delivering an address before
one of our fraternal societies referred
to life as an interrogation point which
had baffled the investigation of the
wisest savants and scholars who have
undertaken to unravel the great mys-
terry.
The little babe when it first opens
its eyes upon the world, he said, and
sees all the strange and wondrous
things around and about it may well
suppose to ask: What is it ali for?
What does it all mean?'
AS it grows from baby hood to child
hood, and from childhood TO middle
age, and from middle age TO old age,
though. constantly being asked, the
question goes unanswered.
In one form or another the theme
is being discussed in prose and poetry
by different writers in ali parts of
the world
In a recent number OF the Reader
Magazine, says the editor of the Min
neapolis Tribune. was printed a very
striking poem by William Vaughn
Moody, son of Indiana, entitled
"Old Pourquoi?'' The burden of it.
of course, is that our whole life Is an
interrogation; that it is not worth
while to try an answer questions, and
that the only thing for the brave and
honest man is to accept things about
as he finds them, without being curl
Gus about the deeper things, and that
is, says the Minneapolis editor, ve"v
sound philosophy if not pushed too
far. BE not curious about God"
wrote Walt Whitman, and there is,
indeed, sense in which curiosity is
an evil thing. The mere fact that We
can not answer all the questions pro-
pounded does not mean that there
are no answers, or that we should be
greatly distressed because we can not
find them. Dean Stanley. in his BIZ
ogaphy of Arnold of Rugby, assures
us that his hero was able to rest as
quietly in the presence of doubt as i'll
that of discovered truth. 1t Is not for
everyone to know the times of the
seasons, which the Father hath put
in His own power"
The same doctrine has lately come
to us from far-away Japan. in poem
that is going the rounds of the papers
and is credited to the Japan Weekly
Mail:
Why:
This is the cry
That echoes through the wilderness of earth
Through song and soTrow, day and death and
birth:
Why?
1t is the high
Wall of the child with all his ,ite to face.
Mans last dumb question he reaches space:
Why
1t is indeed the old question, recog-
nized by orient and occident alike.
But why, except from the common
place, scientific point of view, need
it ever be answered? What would
this world be if it were not for the
mysteries that pervade and enshroud
it? The curse of mankind is specu-
latiOn-the curse, as well as the glory.
We know that it is right to do right
and to be true, even though we do
not know why it is right. Our intui-
tions have little relation to mere
knowledge. We cannot by searching
find out Coda fact which, perhaps,
the world would have been happier
for frankly admitting-bu deep down
in our consciousness we know that
there is Being in the universe great
err, stronger, and vastly holier than
we. Why we do not understand Him
better, why He has not chosen TO re-
veal Himself more clearly. why we
cannot touch Him and see Him-hOw

This paper has been very much
Handicapped for the want of limo
type machine-the most marvellous
invention that has ever found its way
into printing Office.
The linotype does the work of five
or more men and sets the type much
more accurately than can possibly be
done in the old way and the great
beauty of it is that the type is always
new and the impression always neat.
This paper has dreamed dreams
that some day it would possess one
OF these machines and would be able
to give it's readers a much larger,
better and handsomer publication

Yours very truly,
WALTER H. WOOD.

The letter was was written on paper
bearing the following letter head,

443 Market street, Wiliiamsport, Pa.
Established 1902. Everything for the
Printer, Job Presses, Cylinder Press
es, Paper Cutters, Wire Stitching
Machines, Ruling Machines, Type
setting Machines, ETC.,
On May fourth we received letter
stating that the machine had been
shipped via Pennsylvania railroad to
New York, thence by Clyde Line to
Jacksonville. Mr.. Wood stated that
the machine had been strongly
Grated and that we were getting the
biggest bargain he ever handled and
he had handled nothing but bargains
Before many days had elapsed we
were drawn on through a Canada
bank for 800, which aroused our
suspicious and we wired Mr.. Wood
that the draft would be honored as
soon as the bill of lading was re-
ceived. The telegram was returned
undelivered. We then telegraphed
the Pennsylvania railroad agent ask
ing if such machine had been shipp-
ed and he wired back, mo" The
Clyde Line did likewise. We then
wrote Mr.. Wood and the letter wa1
returned saying that Mr.. Woods
name did not appear in the city dir
rectory and that he had gone from
the city and left no address.
So We shall have to do without 3
linotype machine for the present.
But didn't we narrowly escape be-

Equality of Rates.

Gallant old Frank NJ. Cockrell hits
the nail ON the head. AS a member
of the interstate commerce commits
sion, he said it was his view that the
rates on railroads should continue to
be established by the roads, as here
tofore. and the commission should be
given revisory power to cure an un-
lust rate or an excessive charge or a
discrimination. This is virtually the
position of every reasonable man on
the subject. Nobody wants the rail-
roads oppressed or treated unjustly.
but everybody wishes them to tote
fair. That is the whole problem, and
it will be eventually settled on that
basis.-Tampa Times
