There is an angry woman in this city In 6 down town boarding house who has wasted several days in an effort to find a certain huckster who worked a shrewd swindIe on her. She bargained with him for 14 bushels of potatoes, with the un' derstanding that he was to put them In the cellar for her. The careful house wife counted the two bushel bags-sevep of them-and paid the man for that num- Der. A short time after the huckster left a neighbor notified her that during the potato transaction she had seen smaI, boy crawling out of the front cellar win dow. An investigation showed that there were only ten bushels of potatoes and that on two occasions SAe boy had been carried down cellar in the bag by the huckster and had then climbed out of the window and back to the wagon again to repeat the swindle. - BOstoI Journal,

SKIN ECZEMA |.
 IN WORST FORM
Black SpIotches All Over Face - Produced Severe ItChing-Ye Treatment by Physicians Did No Good and Became DeSpondent- Affected Parts Now Clear as Ever Alabama Lady'S
CURE BY THE
 CUTICURA REMEDIES

"About four years ago I was afflicted with black splotChes all over my face and few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irritation, and which caused me great deal of annoy ance and suffering, to such al extent that was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of my town. After thor ough examination of tho dreaded com plaint 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 l became Respondent and decided to discontinue their services. Shortly afterwards, my husband in read ing a copy of a weekly New York paper saw an advertisement of the Cutl- cura Remedies. He purchased the en- tire outfit, and after using the contents of the first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent in connection with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, the breaking out entirely stopped. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was entirely gone and the affected parts were left as clear as ever. 1 have not felt a symp- tom of the eczema since, which was three years ago.
 "The Cuticura Remedies not only cured me of that dreadful disease, eczema, but other complicated troubles as well; and l have been the means of others being cured of the same disease by the Cuticura Remedies, and l don't hesitate in saying that the ReSolvent is the best blood medicine that the world has ever known" Lizzie E.

The President and Cuba.

The. president 'srcourse in Cuba APP
pears to depend for its standing very
much: on it's success. If the Cubans
come together in peace the applause of
the world will be the presidents. But
if they should make it necessary for
him to enforce his letter to Quesada it
stmight turn out very differently. He
might involve the country in war while
the power to declare war belongs not to
him but to congress. 1t should be said
however, that the president is acting
not under the constitution of the United
States entirely, but under the consti-
tuition Of Cuba, which gives him certain
powers and imposes certain duties upon
him. The president is clear. that he is
acting within his rights and duties as
set down in the Plat amendment.
The presence in Cuba of a&.cahinet
& officer is evidence that the president
means TO- use all other means before
resorting to overawing force. q The
{ chances all favor the Cubans taking the
hint. There is nothing both parties
dread so much as American interven.
ton. The American troops moved out

Parties and Independence.

There is only one way for a party
to succeed permanently, and that is
actions square. with its pre-
fessions. The republican party has
done that in it's local campaign and is
already feeling the better for it.
The time has gone by when parties
can make men follow a party name.
This truth was conspicuously exempli-
fed in the last presidential election,
when the democrats strove in vain to
hold their voting strength together by
the mere fact of the nomination of
Judge Parker as democrat. The couu-
try did not know him. 1t did not
know for what he stood. 1t was asked to
take him on the strength of his reputa-
ton as a democrat. He was vouched
for in that capacity by whom9 By
Sheehan, Belmont, Ryan, Nico1l and
many Others. But there was not one
among them who could explain him
self any more than he could explain
Parker. 1t looked to the democrats OF
the country like gold-brick politics.
and they said so at the polls by voting
about half for Parker and half for
Roosevelt.
The voters of today are pretty sure
to ask what a man stands for rather
than what is his party record. They
have tested some men like Roosevelt
and find that they are for justice and
clean politics. They want to support
such men no matter about the party
label. .~~,ge
Hence it comes back to the PROPOSE
ton that parties must either Ike
their actions square with their profes
sions or submit to see most Of thei,
members wandering aield as independ
ents. Men naturally flock together
They like to touch elbows and march
as a compact body. 1t is easy to form
party. It is hard to dismember it
But it can be done. Machine politi
clans are doing it all the time. They
are making Independents as fast as
their shortsighted yearning to contro
will allow them. If they would KEEP
their hands off and allow the party tt
be true to its convictions and aspira
lions there would be less of independ
ence because there would be less neet
of it.
