HANDS CRACKED
 AND BLEEDING
And Fingers Were All Drawn up With Eczema Cure of Nearly Twenty Years Ago by the Cuticura Treatment Have Had no Further Trouble with Hands Since.
PERMANENT CURE BY
 CUTICURA REMEDIES

My mother was badly afflicted by a species of eczema or salt rheum in her hands. They were very bad. She was treated by her family physician for over three months and no benefit. Then she thought she would try the Cuticura Remedies, and very soon found relief. Her hands and fingers were all drawn up and cracked and bleeding. They very soon commenced to heal up and in less than three months were about well. She used the Soap, I don't know how many boxes of the Ointment and four bottles of the Resolvent. For two years she was entirely free from the disease, when it came on again; but as she used the Remedies immediately, was soon cured, and has had no more trouble with her hands for nearly twenty years.
 "For years she has always had the Ointment in the house and used it occasionally in the winter time. She has recommended it to many people and always speaks well of 1t and would use it again If needed, and she thinks no Soap is equal to the Cuticura Soap.
 "She is willing you should publish the above if you care to. Very truly yours, Wm. A. Young, 50 Russell St., New Bedford, Mass, July 31, 1905."

soUsA's REPLY TO AN INQUIRER

Denies That His Name is Ogden or
 Ever Was Ogden, or Ever Will be.
 Sousa, who will be heard at the Fly perion tonight with his great military band, being a public person, has very many queer inquiries directed at him. During his recent tour to Europe he visited Leeds, in England, and while there received a communication from an inquisitive gentleman of that neigh borhood asking if he (Sousa) were not really Sam Ogden, of Dudley Hill Yorkshire. It seems that this particu- lar Sam Dudley was a muGical genious who ran away to the states and was last heard of conducting a military band. This was the reply Sousa sent back, which shows that he has a sense of humor as we'll as of rhythm:
 Dear Sir--Mr. Sousa begs to state that it was source of amusement to him, in his travels over the eastern and western hemispheres, to find the ingenuity displayed by paragraphers in writing about him. He hates to spoil a good story, but desires to state that his name was never Sam Ogden, is not Sam ogden and never will be Sam ogden; that he never was born in Dudley Hill and never wil be lborn in Dudley Hill, and the fact of the matter is that his name and his family name has been Sousa since the time. where the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. If you will go down into the dawn of the world you will find that the royal city of Persia was called Sousa, When it became necessary to plant the seed of civilization in the then benighted Eu rope MT. Sousa's ancestry came to Por- tugal, and even unto this day the name is the most famous in Portuguese his- tory and nobility. MT. Sousa's father Antonio de Sousa-went to America as an exile in the early forties, and i'll Washington, D. C., the capital of Amer ica, on bright sixth of November, in the good year of 1854, the subject of this letter was born, and if he had ever to be born anew he would select the same place and the same parents.
 "Faithfully yours,
 JOHN PHILIP SOUSA."

ing, in treating gun or arrow shot wound he as well as the patient will fast four days, only drinking little gruel.
 He will not allow a woman to look at his patient until he is well or dead. If his patient dies the medicine man takes lot of medicine himself in order ito cleanse himself from the fumes or oder of the dead. The pallbearers, as we might call those assisting in the burial, also take the same cleansing process.
 And again when an Indian committed murder, even in self-defense, he went to the medicine man and took the cleansing remedy, claiming the remedy appeased the crime and the trouble to his mind. The medicine man has a horror of women, keeping out of their company as much as possible. At the full of each moon it was the custom of the bucks to drink medicine made by the madeleine man to cleanse their sys- tenn. In camp the Indian killed noth- ing which was not eatable.-Indian Journal.

How to Read Chnrncter,

Character may be easily judged by the handwriting, says W. D. Nesbit in The Washington Herald. If you should mail a proposal to a young lady and she should reply briefly, her chirogra- phy being bold, rapid and angular, writing simply the word "No." you may at once know that she Is not a person who could appreciate you at your true worth.
 sldewhiskers are sometimes a sure indication of hcaracter. If they flare out in whirligig style on each side Of a mans face, you may at once de- eide that he Is a man of confiding dis position, for some one has told him that he resembles the late Commodore Vanderbilt, and he believes 1t,
 If you call a man a liar and he hits you in the eye and then proceeds to kick you all over the street, you may set him down as an irascfble man, with little or no control of his temper.
 If a man pauses with a leaf of let- tuce on his fork and insists upon tell- ing you how many chefs he has taught to make French salad dressing, you may decide that he is star at tho chafing dish and that some girl wili conclude that man with his knowi. edge of cooking must make good husband.
 The man who is constantly interf- rupting your stories in order to tell one of his own is usually man of great tenacity Of purpose, one who will set his mind upon something and achieve 1t, no matter what happens

Benjamin Franklin aa a speIIer.

Clipped From an exchange.
 The following indicates that BenJa- min Franklin was not at all enamored of the mode of spelling in his day.
 Sir--It may interest your readers to know that Benjamin Franklin was also a spelling reformer, as the following letter shows. Dwight Holbrook.
 Ossining, Nov. 3.
 To Mrs. Jane Mecom, on Good and Bad
 Spelling:
 You need not be concerned in writing to me, about your bad spelling, flor, in my opinion, as our alphabet now stands, the bad spelling, or what is called SO, is generally the best, as conforming to the sound of the letters and of the words. To give you an instanee: A gentleman received a letter in which were these words: Mot finding Brown at hom, I delivered your meseg to his yf." The gentlemen finding 1t bad spelling, and therefore not being very inteIligible, called his lady to help him read 1t. Between them they pick ed out the meaning of al but the yf, which they could not understand. The lady proposed calling her chamber maid because Betty, says she, has the best knack at reading bad spelling of any one I know. Betty came, and was surprised that neither sir nor madam could tell what yf was. Why says she, "yf spells wife; what else can 1t spell And, indeed, it Is a much bet ter, as well as a shorter, method of spelling wife than doubleyou, 1, ef, e, which in reality spell doubleyifey"

"WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER a1, lsOs.
A GOoD OFFER.

we just knew that Bont would not be long without the offer of a job. We felt it in our bones and other places that the notoriety he was achieving would bring him chance to make a living. now that he is relieved of the job of spending the Gould millions, and incidentally making an ass of himself. we suspected that the offer might come from the manager of a side show or even a theatre. Possibly. we ruminat- ed. he might be engaged to pose in some hall of statuary to let the world know what he looks like.
 We'll, the offer has been made him, but not from the source we expected. It comes from the keeper of a New York restaurant wh othus cables him: twin contract to engage you as major dono at a salary of 5O,00O francs a year to take entire charge of walters and manage restaurant privileges" We haven't heard from Boni but can faint Iy fhmagihe his posture of mortified hautier, his "sacre bleus!' ana various other evidences of noble disgust when that cablegram reached him. If he doesn't challenge that plebian Ameri- can to a duel routrance we shall miss our guess. We'll wager his moustache got another curl in 1t when he read the ofIer.. alf NAlMl
 But Bond will do we'll not to fly off the hadnle too abruptly An annual salary of near $10.OOO is4 not to be i sneezed at. He is not likely to corral any more of the Gould money, and from all accounts he has about exhausted his resources and credit at home. The i position of head waiter in a fashion able New York restaurant is a much more respectable position than the one he has occupied since he made fast to Miss Gould and her fortune. He would have a corps of subordinates under him whom he could boss at his pleasure, and he could look on and listen to the | elite of New York, men and women, not to mention that many of the chorus girls from the theatres and opera ihouses would patronize the establish lment graced by his presence. The sal- tary of ten thousand year would keep lhfm in clothes, to say nothing of the liberal tips he would receive. There's millions in it for a man of his sort, but we suspect he is fool enough to reject the offer.

Y When Colonel Bryan talks of Demo- Icratic victories he can't mean Colorado where we will lose a Senator, nor Idaho where Democratic Senator Dubois will have to walk a plank, nor Montana, which will send a Republican multi millionaire to the Senate in place of Democratic multi-millionaire Senator Clark. Above all others he can't refer to his own State of Nebraska, which went Republican by an increased ma- Jority. He must mean Alabama Texas and the rest of the Solid South but their votes will not elect Democratic President nor secure control of Con- gress.

A coMMrNpABLn PosTTIoN.

The Advertiser heartily approves or the position taken by the Daughters of the Confdeeracy at the recent con- vention held at Gulfport, Miss. In order to make the position clear we copy a portion of the report sent out from that city. and which many of our readers may not have seen. It is as follows:
 Resolutions to dispense with the snonsors and maids of honor at reunions of Confederate Veterans were adopted today by the United Daughters or the Confectionery in convention here. The Carrington Mason, President of the sa- rah Law Chapter of Memphis. She of- fered them, she said, in behalf of more consideration for the Veterans. The reunions, she said, apparently are no longer for the entertainment of the veterans, but rather for the entertain ment of the sponsors and maids or hostess cities are expended to give the sponsors and maids of honor the pest hotels, while the veterans are lodged In vacant rooms and bedded on cots. We have no desire to appear ungal- lant, or unmindful of the enthusiastic devotion of the younger generation to the memory of the Lost Cause, but all who have attended a Confederate re- uion of late years well know that Mrs. Mason spoke words of truth. These reunions have come to be looked on largely as occasions for sponsors, maids of honor and their young friends to be entertained and have good time while the veterans themselves are considered accessories who must be content with second place, or no place at all, in the proceedings.
 This is not fair nor just to the old veterans who often put themselves to great personal trouble and inconveni- ence to attend these occasions. When they get there and find themselves practically unnoticed while the best ho- tels,S the best carriages, the best en- tertainments and the most assiduous attentions all go to the young people, while they are virtually pushed aside and neglected, 1t is not to be wondered at if they feel Encouragement, humili- ation and resentment. They are made to feel that they are fn the way and not wanted. When they arrive at the place of meeting and see how they are to be considered, if they should turn their bacEs on the affair and sorrow fully return to their homes We might pity, but not blame them.
 |. We repeat that it Is not right, and we say 1t without intending any rehec- tion on the young people and without wishing to mar their pleasures in the least We look to them to keep alive in the hearts of present and future
