Marvellous Cure by Cuticura. =

my son. who Is now twenty-five
years OF age, when he was four
months old began to have eczema on
his. face, spreading quite rapidly until
he was nearly covered. We had all
the doctors around us, and some from
larger places, but no one helped him
a PARTICLE. The eczema was something
terrible, and the doctors said it was
the worst case they ever saw. At
times his whole body and face were
covered. all but his feet. I had to
bandage his limbs and arms; his
scalp was Just dreadful. "A friend
teased me to try Cuticura, and I be.
gan to. use all three Of the Cuticura
Remedies. He was better in two
mon ths; and in six months he was
well. Mrs. r. L. Risley. Piermont,

How Policeman Barney Flynn hap
pened to be put ON crossing duty"
was mystery to every man on the
force, but why he was taken off. was
well known to all of them. Tie "cross-
ing men" are usually large and Of i'm
posing presence, while Flynn Is small
and would not attract the attention
0f anyone who did not know of his
prowess. But he was given the work,
nevertheless.
"'Tis me size," he said by way Of
explanation. 9TH big ma-an is q fine
thing on parade, but f,,r worry give

Whatever of truth there may be in
his assertion, the fact remains that

went about his work with the same
energy that characterized him in all
that he had previously undertaken.
He was the. supreme ruler Of that
crossing, and he did not intend to have
any mistake about it. He was excep-
tionally jealous of his authority, be-
cause his size tended to induce some

CALLING as that
9TH guardeen iv tn la-aw," he said
to burly driver one day, "sh'u'd be
threated with ray-spict."
Don't get foolish, little man." re-
turned the driver, patronizingly, at
the same time showing disposition
to ignore the policeman's uplifted
club. =
"Oho! ye'd yet ga-ay with me, w'u'd
ye?'' cried Policeman Flynn. "Come
down out iv that high-chair seat!"
The driver only laughed, whereupon
Flynn, by a quick movement, caught
hold of the reins and jerked them out
of the drivers hands.
"Now will ye be good" he asked,
"or will We dhrive me over to tn sta
tion?" -. ~ r.~tu
The driver realized that he was at
the policeman's mercy and surlily
promised to show all proper respect in
the future. T.. '"M j.; >NT
"'Tis not me own al gnHy, but me
polls dignity I'm upholdin'," Flynn
explained afterward. "Ye ca-an't
r-rule at crossin' onliss ye insist
upon r-rulin', an 'tis tn intane-yus
ma-an that's tn boss iv things"
Policeman Flynn certainly was in
genious, and he held the drivers who
regularly passed his corner in SUBJ
lection by his reputation for resource
fulness and the uncertainty as to
what he would do next. When he
finally humbled the contractor who
was always in hurry, and cut in and
out of the line of teams in a most haz-
ardous way, his authority never again
was questioned. Another policeman
would have caught the horse by the
bride some day, thrown him back on
his launches, and cursed or arrested
the driver; but Policeman Flynn never
does things as others would do them.
He bided his time, and finally. when
the contractor was caught in a pocket
and had. to draw up,. the policeman
promptly stuck his club between the
spokes Of his buggy wheel. =
"I wa-ant f'r to ta-alk to ye," said
Policeman Flynn.
"Take that out Of there or I'll break
it," exclaimed the contractor. Il e..

That settled the contractor, and
thereafter Policeman Flynn was the
autocrat sof his crossing. But he had
other troubles, and his methods were
not always, those that would be ap-
proved at headquarters. The advice
that he gave on various occasions,
while Undoubtedly good. was too sharp
and pointed. "A man from the coun-
try secured his sattent tion one day and

this city yesterday and was before the

quest for an extension OF 100 days to

time and service OF all the skilled la

Gil, upon the filing by Mr.. Brownell
