EDITORS SON PASSES AWAY.
Berton Marks, the sixteen-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. C. r. Marks, died
at his home in Dodgeville, at o'clock
Thursday morning, October 4th, 1906,
from heart failure, following a severe
attack of appendicitis. He was taken
sick Sunday evening, but by Wednes-
day, without an operation, he seemed
on the road to recovery. However, as
the fever subsidized, the heart began to
fail to do its work. Berton was born
June 10th, 1890, at st. Joseph, Mo. He
was member of the Junior class of
the Dodgeville high school, and favor
lite with all who knew him. He was the
youngest of three children-on sister,
Miss Nora, and one brother, Reuben,
surviving him.

foot. The doctor wanted to see the
wound. The foot was barred and not
sign of scratch could be found on it.
Further investigation showed that a
tiny nail in the sole of his shoe had
worked up about sixteenth of an inch
and was irritating the foot. His ex-
pansive imagination did the rest 1t is
said he still limps from the effects Of
his imaginary injury.

Wounds, Bruises and Burns.

By applying an antiseptic dressing to
wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries
before Inflammation sets in, they may
be healed without maturation and in
about one-third the time required by the
old treatment. This is the greatest dis
covery and triumph of modern surgery.
Chamberlain Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. 1t is an antiseptic, and
when applied to such injuries, causes
them to heal very quickly 1t also al
lays the pain and soreness and prevents
any danger of blood poisoning. Keep a
bottle of Pain Balm in your home and it
will save you time and money, not to
speak of the inconvenience and suffer
ing such injuries entail. For sale by

She was seated in the cleaning, a
happy smile on her pretty, pensive
face, when her elderly aunt entered.
Then, as she looked upon the kind old
face, a feeling rushed upon her that
she must share her wonderful news
with somebody-she must let someone
into the secret which till then had
been the sole possession of herself and
Harold. She sprahg up and flung her
arms about her aunt's neck.

die, But Ones Part Was Much
the Wider.

One of the veteran lawyers of Bur-
iington, VT, is A. v. Spalding, writes
F. H, Kelsey of Lowell, in the Boston
Globe. One day when he was trying a
case in the Chittenden county court
he called as a witness a stylishly
dressed young man who parted his
hair in the middle, a practice that
used to be regarded as indicative of
a dude" The young man, however,
gave his testimony in a plain, straight
forward n and resumed his seat.
When the argument came to be
made by the counsel opposed to Mr..
Spalding, reference was made in a
peculiarly cutting manner to the fop-
pish looking witness who parted his
hair in Tie middle.
On rising to reply, Mr.. Spalding
said: 81 fail to see how the fact that
this young man parts his hair III the
middle has any bearing in this case.
He certainly has a right to part his
hair in the middle, and he parts 1t ex-
actly as my brother on the other side
does his, only" he added, pointing to
the perfectly bald head of the oppos-
ing lawyer, "he doesn't part 1t quite
so wide"
