The Sacred and symbolic Palm.

From the very earliest times the
palm tree has been recognized as a
symbol of victory. Among the Greeks
and the Romans palm branches were
used 10 decorate the buildings and
streets Of their cities In honor OF the
return Of victorious army. This Gus
tom appears to have been taken from
the eastern nations. but from what one
In particular no one now knows. AT
very early age the Hebrews were ac-
cust0med to carry palm branches on
all occasions Of rejoicings. This Gus
tom having been observed on the entry
of Christ into Jerusalem, the tree has
come to bear special symbolism
among Christians. The primitive
church used it to express the triumphs
Of the Christian over death through the
resurrection. AS early as the second
century A. d. 1t became the custom tc
carve palm branches on the tombstones
of those who had died for the faith
and about the same time all pictures
| Of martyrs were figures holding repre-
sentations Of palm branches In theil
hanas.

Little Girls Obstinate Case Of

Of Torturing Sores - Grateful
Mother Says:
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

ain reply to your letter write you
nv experience, and you are privileged
TO use it as you see fit. Last year,
after having my little girl treated by
very prominent physician for an obstl-
nate case of eczema, ! resorted to the
Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physician's prescription and relied en-
tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cutlcura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs we're covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence OF the trouble.
"In July Of this year little boy IN
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were mass
OF torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
anointed them with the Cuticura ONT
ment and then gave him the Cutlcura
Resolyent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; so we have
lots Of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from a doctor, and where
it costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.

A Story of the Chicago slums.

A Story of the Chicago Slums.
"Nossing is more plain than thees:
each man to all other men owes
sOmething-a debt" Thus speaks
Antoine, the gallant Frenchman of
W. B. MacHarg's story, in the
Christmas McClure's. Antoine work
ed in lithographing establishment,
cooked his meals in his room over a
stove no larger than a silk hat,
smoked iDnumerabIe cigarettes, and
lOnged, with a desperately wilful
longing, for the good will of his
tenement-house neighbors. But his
tenement house neighbors, down to
the smallest child, snubbed Antoine.
How he found his way into their
hearts and from an outcast became
their hero and idol is an enchanting
story, enchantingly told, with a
mirth and tenderness that make this
true christmas tale"
