HAY WAS DIPLOMATIC EVER
The Late Secretary Of State "Ead
Way with Him" That
Always Won.

Story is told Of the late John Hay
illustrative Of that fine diplomatic
temperament that made his name
know all over the world, says the
American Spectator.
Some years ago Mr.. Hay sent MI.
Alexander Gum, of Cleveland, for his
perusal the manuscript of an interest
ing bit of work by Mark Twain, en-
titled, "A. Conversation as it was at
the Social Fireside in the Time of the
Tudors." Mr.. Hay knaw that his
friend Gum, a connoisseur Of litera-
ture and art, would be much interest
ed in what the former termed a "seri-
u effort to bring back our literature
and philosophy to the chaste, Eliza
bethan standard"
Now it appears that Mr.. Gum was
SO delighted with Twain's sketch that
he wrote to Mr.. Hay proposing to
print a limited number of copies there
of for private distribution. 1t is said
that Mr.. Hay replied as follows:
"The proposition you make to pull a
few proofs of Twain's masterpiece is
highly attractive, and, of course, high
ly immoral. l cannot properly consent
to the suggestion, as | I'm afraid the
great mar would think I was taking
an unfair advantage of his confidence
Accordingly, l will thank you to send
back the manuscript as o as pos.
sible; but If, in spite of my prohibi-
ton, you take those proofs, I've me
one"
1t was super1uous to add that, with
this hint, the proofs were pulled
n for Mr.. Hay and one for Mr.
Gum.

DlSFlGURING SKIN M
impossible to Get Employment, as
Face and Body Were Covered with
Sores--Cured by Cuticura.

"Since the year 1894 l have been trou-
bled with a very bad case of eczema which
| have spent hundreds of dollars trying to
cure, and l went to the hospital, but they
failed to cure me, and it was getting
worse all the time. Five weeks ago my
wife bought a box of Cuticura Ointment
and enc cake of Cuticura Soap, and | am
pleased to say that l am now completely
cured and well. 1t was impossible for me
to get employment, as my face, head and
body were covered with it. The eczema
first appeared on the top of my head, and
it had worked all the way around down
the back of my neck and around to my
throat, down my body and around the
hips. 1t itched SO 1 would be obliged to
scratch it, and the flesh was raw. | am
now all well, and / will be pleased to
recommend the Cuticura Remedies to all
persons who wish a speedy and permanent
cure of skin diseases. Thomas M. Rossi-

"The Doctor said he had carefully
studied my case, and it was either quit
coffee or die advising me to take Pos

coffee one Of my dearest friends, and
especially when sick, and I was very
much taken back by the Doctors deci-
sion, for l hadn't suspected the coffee
l drank could possibly cause my trou-
BILE.
l thought 1t over for o few minutes,
and finally told the Doctor l would
make the change. Postum was pro-
cured for me the same day and made
according to directions; well, I liked
1t and stuck to it, and since then !
have been a new man. The change In

prised me, and now, although am
