one OF the best authorities on that sub

But 1t was as a poet that he was

popularity was founded on one poem,
'Watty ana Meg This poem which re-

MOTHER PRAISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Ouy baby had that dreadful COM
plant, InfAntile Eczema, which afflicted
him for several months, commencing at
the top of his head, and at last covering
his whole body. His suferings were
untold and constant misery, In fact,
there was nothing we would not have
done TO have given him relief. The
family doctor seemed 20 be wholly
incapable of coping with the case, and
after various experiments Of his, which
resulted IN no benefit to the child, We
sent to Macon, Ill, to 3 druggist and got
3 full set Of the CuticuFa Remedies and
applied as per directions, and he began
to improve immediately, and in about
three or four days began TO show a
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in year. In about ninety
days he was fully recovered, with the
exception of q rough skin, which is
gradually disappearing. and eventually
viii be replaced by healthy one.
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 Ger
tainly saved our baby's life, for be was
the most awful sight that ever beheld,
prior TO the treatment Of the Cuticura
Remedies. Mrs. Maebelle Lyon, 1926

UNDER ELEVATOR

Kenney Hill, cOlored, employed as an
ngineer II the Willard Hotel, was
crushed 10 death early this morning
Khile attempting TO operate the large
freight elevator on the Fourteenth street
side of the building. used for lowering
coal into the basement II IS not known
exactly at what hour the accident oc-
Cured. When found by Gordon Lewis,
an employee OF the hotel company, the
man was dead.
Coroner hewitt was summoned, and.
after viewing the remains, ordered the
body removed 10 the mOrgue. An in
quest Will be conducted at II o'clock to-
morrow morning.
Ii is the opinion of the management
OF the hotel that HIl was trying TO
raise the elevator 10 the surface of the
street, when the rope slipped from his
grasp. and. that in his effort 70 re-
gain IL he stumbled and fell directly
in the path of the descending elevator.
Hin had been employed at the hotel
for several months. He came 10 work
last evening al O'Clock, and worked
through the night He was of al s
O'Clock this morning. As his body was
not found until about $50 o'clock. il IS
believed the accident occurred when he
was about through work. Several men
working ia the far end Of the basement
did not hear the elevator fall, nor did
they hear a cry.
