INSCRIPTION on the card. It read:

The whole business Of bringing up
children bristles with difficulty. II
only we could be perfect beings our
selves the undertaking would not be
SO arduous. But we make 50 many
blunders, we are so ready to leave
undone what We ought to do, and to do,
what we ought not to do, that our
children have pretty hard time in
their turn. Somehow they scramble
up in spite of our mistakes. Heredity
has good deal to do with their sue
cess or failure. It Is a great. thing
for a child to have had worthy grand
parents. Training tells, too, but only
as we train ourselves do we ever sue.

Not one of those boys turned out even

To make money and to keep it is too
low an ideal to be set before grow

Look out for the little pitchers. It
is worth while.

WORST FORM OF ECZEMA.
Black Splotches All Over Face-Affect-
ed Parts Now Clear as Ever-Cured
by the Cuticura Remedies.

"About four years ago I was afflicted
with black splotches all over my face
and few covering my body, which pro-
duced severe itching irritation. and
which caused me great deal of annoy
ance and suffering, to such an extent that
I was forced to call in two of the leading
physicians Of my town. After thorough
examination Of the dreaded complaint they
announced it to be SKIN eczema in its
worst form. They treated me for the
same for the length OF one year, but the
treatment did me no good. Finally my hus-
band purchased set Of the Cuticura Rem
edies, and after using the contents CT the
first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent in con-
nection with the Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment, the breaking out entirely stopped.
l continued the use of the Cuticura Rem
edies for six months, and after that every
splotch was entirely gone and the at
fected parts were left as clear as ever.
The Cuticura Remedies not only cured me
OF. that dreadful disease, eczema, but
other complicated troubles as well. Lizzie

Daisy was put to bed again, and fell
asleep after being repeatedly and SOL
EMMY assured that she would find her
father in the morning. Kate returned
to the par1or, but could not partake of
the supper which the maid brought in.
Her mind was in tura'oil. In the last
hour the aspect Of esorything had
changed. Six months ago, she had
compelled herself to believe that she no
longer cared for her husband; some
how, she had never thought that
he might no longer care for her. To-
night that possibility was forced upon
her, and under its weight her pride
crumbled into ruins, and she beheld her
heart in all it's GOODNESS and cruelty.
What made Daisy love her father as she
did? Was there any doubt about Johns
affection for his wee daughter? Had she
herself not loved, or, at any rate, rever-
enced the man for years; and had she
not been his hearts desire? Wherein,
then, lay the unworthiness of John
Langlands?
And Hates soul was dumb because
her pride was gone. 1t seemed to. her,
as she dried her eyes at last, that she
had never really loved her husband till
now. 1t was as if all his past loving
kindnesses, unrealized before, were
gathered together to fall upon her In one

evening she had sent him away rebuffed.
His sin was little thing compared with
hers. And then the fear that she had
lost his love and regard for ever took
hold on her. Thus the night wore on.
About II o'clock she went upstairs to
sustain the role of Santa Claus. BY the
glimmer Of the night-light burning in
Daisy's room. she perceived that her lit

heart, and tears blinded her In her labor
Of love. When the toys and good things
were all safely slowed in their proper

the pillow and tucking the bed-clothes
round the cherub.

obstacles in the path of the attorney
general. At the same time, we intend
