FEARFUL ITCHING
 BURNING SORES
Boy in Misery l2 Years Eczema Spread Over Body in Rough Scales, Cracked, Infamed, and SwoIIen-Case Pronounced Incur able, but Completely Cured by Two Sets of Cuticura Remedies.
HIS SKIN NOW FINE
 AND SMOOTH AS SILK

"I wish to inform you that your wonderful Cuticura has put stop to twelve years of misery l passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body red spot and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it grew. During the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked inf1amed, and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. When l think of his suffering, it nearly breaks my heart. His screams could be heard downstairs. The suffering of my son made me full of misery. I had no ambition to work, to eat, nor could sleep.
 "0ne doctor told me that my sons eczema was inourable, and gave it up for a bad job. One evening saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Cuticura and decided to give 1t trial.
 q tell you that Cuticura Ointment Is worth it's weight in gold, and when I had used the first box of Ointment there was a great improvement, and by ths time I had used the second set of Cati- cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuti- cura Resolvent my child was cured. He is now twelve years old, and his skin is as fine andsmootha as silk. Michael Stein- man, Sumner Avenue, Brooklyn. N. r., April 16, 1905."

 tlfat This little old freckled map known as

 in ignorance, Gentle maid, So we will just hunt up nice quiet
 place on The Warpath, Where they have Vienna orchestra and
 walters Who speak high school German, And there we will drink foamlng beaker
 or two To your ashes!

pepper Trees as Decorations,

Miniature pepper trees that give quite a Japanese effect are new fad and one that is decidedly unique, says the New York Mail They are six or eight inches high and the tiny branches extend in an umbrella shape at the top. The leaves are thick and dark waxy green in color, while the blos- sons are little pods, exact reproduc- tions of the red and green peppers that may always be had at the markets. These little plants are effective, either singly or arranged in group, in tall handled basket, tied with ribbons in the new bronze shade They are particularly suited to the beidermaier work, now so fashionable, with its stiff, quaint little pots of flowers and the touches of black and brown in con trast to the Dresden oolorings.

silence and Science.

Before 1t was determined scientific ally that smoke is waste, smoke was fixed as the final indication and proof of prosperity. Today a smokeless chimney means nothing less than thrift and good management. Similar ly we now hear that noise is proof of urban life, progress and activity. We may answer that noise is loss as surely as smoke is waste. Decreased comfort is loss and noise decreases comfort. Disturbed minds are loss through a re- duction of mental force. But these and similar consequences are indirect loss. There is direct loss also. A rat ting car means worn bearings and a short lived vehicle. Otherwise rail- roads would not spend so much on their roadbeds, and they would run trains at higher spes&-Detroit Free Pgesa

RUSSIAN POLICE METHODS. A PARADISE OF CRAFT. American Lands In Prison for Whistling at Officers
 Remarks.

The wind-up of this little affair with the police was more amusing than the arrest. Not long afterward, in com pany of the American minister and a Scotch friend, I went on a fishing and camping trip to northern Finland While we were in camp l received word that I was wanted on criminal charge in St. Petersburg, but that there was mo need to worry about it." I proceeded leisurely with our party up to the Arctic circle, and then back to St. Petersburg, when I immediately made inquiry of my house porter about the summons or indictment. The por- ter laughed. Tt was nothing, sir, nothing" he assured me. One week came the indictment, and the next week the announcement of your ac- quittal. It was very simple matter
 I was sure that both proceedings could refer to nothing more serious than the fracas with the dvorniks on the night of my arrest, and l deter mined to learn what had happened to my two friends, if anything. The American l found at his datscha on one of the islands, Did you receive an announcement of your indictment on a criminal charger" asked him. "Yes," he said; my crime was whis- | tling in a police station'
 It seems that the officer in charge, anxious to have hls revenge on one of us, selected the resident American, be- cause he thought it best not to press any charge against me, and he was unable to locate the little Englisnman. The American had whistled unwilling ] ly, and entirely by way of exclamation. [ l recalled the incident. On the Hateful night, while he was pleading with the | officer for my release, the latter made several astounding statements and at one of them my friend could not re- press a slight whistle of amazement asked him how he came out of the case.
 Loser" he said. q put the matter in the hands of lawyer, and he muss- ed things so that was fined 25 rubles How did you make out?"
 1 told him of acquittal. There Russia for you" he declared. You are at heart the technical villain and go free. I, the poor Samaritan, am fined. That's just about as much rhyme and reason as they show in this country in everything they do."
 And the little Englishman," I asked "the one who really caused the entire trouble-where is he?" "The last heard of him he was out on one of the Pacific islands, having a fine time. v Josiah Flynt in Success Magazine.

JURY TO KEEP HOUSE.
Special Home For Men Who Will De-
 eide Miner Haywood's Fate.

Special Home For Men Who Will De-
 eide Miner Haywood's Fate.
 The jury which will try Secretary William D. Haywood of the Western Federation of Miners for compilcity in the murder at Caldwell, Ida, on Dec. 30, 1905, of former Governor Frank steunenberg will keep house during the trial, says, dispatch from Boise, Ida, to the New York Tribune. The law of Idaho provides that such juries shall be kept together and in seclusion from public contact, and the higher courts have always insisted on a strict compliance with the provision. There fore rather than take any chances with the publicity of a hotel in this case Sheriff Shad Hodgin, responsible for the custody of the jurors, has hired house for them. The house, an attractive, we'll built structure, stand ing on a neat lawn and garden, is just across the street that Hanks the rear of Ada county courthouse and within about 300 feet of the courtroom.
 To make the daily journeys of the jury as direct as possible the sheriff has constructed a temporary stairway from the rear of the second story of the courthouse. It's upper landing is the platform of a fire escape, and it is reached through the anteroom of Judge Woods chambers. The jury can therefore be taken directly to the stair way without leaving the railed inclo- sure of the courtroom. An official cook has been retained, and arrangements have been made with local stores for q good and varied supply of food. Four bailiffs, two for day duty and two for night service, will guard the jury. The house will be carefully and constantly watched. Entry to the oper lawn will be prohibited. One of the day bailiffs will remain at home while the jury Is in court, and the night bailiffs will do no sleeping during their watch.

FowLER's REPLY.
Takes Exception to Judge WoIfe's Cri.
 tIcism of His Methods.

Attorney Fowler, who was criticised by Judge Wolfe in his finding in the Woodbridge islander case, has made a reply to the allegations.
 In this finding he says that Attorney Fowler in his argument to the jury im- properly read from the reports. MT. Fowler denies that he did. In this flnd- ing he says MT. Fowler called the att tention of the jury to alleged similar cases: MT. Fowler says he called their attention to only one case which wasn't an alleged one. He further says he is willing to abide by the Judgment of any lawyer as to whether he did not have the right to call their attention to a similar case under the circum- stances.
 MT. Newton, as senior counsel for the defense" he said, "rather intimated it was beneath my dignity to bring a islander suit and made a personal and slurring comment.
 Tt was then to justify myself that I said that the first case with which was connected was a slander suit ex- actly similar to this one and that it went to the supreme court where the verdict for the plaintiff was sustained. I noted the fact that Charles Ives, one of the most prominent and respected practitioners brought the suit, and that was associated with him, and that the case could be found in the Connec- ticut reports. and told where.
 At the trial of the case there was no objection made by the defendants counsel to my argument, and the court accepted the verdict then as reported. ,

 The idea is to do away with some of the clerks and teams in taking grocery and meat orders and gradually educate the customer to order direct from the store by phone. The telephone com pany says that 1t is the first experi- ment of this nature In the country.
