A Touching Incident.

We find the following incident of
genuine humanity In the correspond
ence of the Detroit Free Press, and
commend it as ~touchingly significant
Of the good feeling existing between
the military people of the North and
South, occurring recently at Mobile,
Ala. A general of the United States
army was on his way from Arizona to
New York, where he purposed entering
a surgical college to have a difficult
operation performed. AS the train
bearing him approached Mobile, his
aide saw that-he was becoming very
i'll, and telegraphed ahead for assist
ance to convey him to a hospital. DR..
Hutton, the medical superintendent of
the Marine Hospital, was at the depot
with attendants and a carriage. The
invalid was comfortably placed in 1t
with the gentlest and most assiduous
attention, but he died within sight of
the building, a stranger in a strange
land.
The next day DR.. Hutton, who will
be remembered as a former Detroiter,
telegraphed to the family of the dead
officer in Arizona for instructions as
to the disposal Of the remains, and re-
ceived in reply:
Bury him where he died"
AS soon as the Mobile Rifles had
heard that
"a soldier of the legion
Lay dying in Algiers,"
they fastened to his help. But he was
already dead, and it only remained for
them to do honor to his memory. This
they did by taking upon themselves
the performance Of the last sad rites ;
as though the dead stranger, had been
one of their own comrades. They car
ried him, draped him with flags, to the
National Cemetery, and gave him all
the onors of a military burial. In
the afternoon of one of the hottest days
of the Southern summer they marched
in procession over two miles of dusty
road, and as the sun went down fired
q farewell shot over the generals
grave. Then covering him with flow
ers, they left him in the peaceful biv-
ouac Of the dead.
The deceased soldier was Il Philadel-
phian, and when the mayor of Philadel-
phia heard Of the "%brotherly love- of
the Mobile Rifles, he sent them an auto
graph letter of thanks, accompanied by
a beautiful floral tribute. @
Surely this little incident is an ear
nest of united interests, and a proof
that ever and always
The bravest are the tenderest,
The loving are the daring"

SAVED BABY LYONS LIFE.
Awful Sight from that Dreadful Com
plant, Infantile Eczema-Mother
Praises Cuticura Remedies.

"Our baby had that dreadful COM
plant, I%nfantile Eczema, which aflict-
ed him for several months, common
cling at the top of his head, and at last
covering his whole body. His suffer
ings were untold and constant misery,
in fact, there was nothing we would
not have done to have given him re-
lief. We finally procured a full set of
the Cuticura Remedies, and in about
three or four days he began to show
Il brighter spirit and really laughed,
for the first time in n year, In about
ninety days he was fully recovered.
Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has
always been our greatest pleasure, and
there is nothing too good that we could
say in their favor, for they certainly
saved our baby's life, for he was the
most awful sight l ever beheld prior
to the treatment Of the Cuticura Rene
dies. Mrs. Maebelle Lyon, 1926 Apple
