SURELY WINS THE PALM.
One Mean Man Who outdoes Some
Others.

Many stories have been told Of
mean men, such as he who used
yart for a collarb button and he whose
birthday gift to his son consisted in
washing the windows so that the
lad might watch the cars go by.
This man, however, seems to have
won the palm:
There was an extremely mean man
in New Hampshire, who was the pro-
prietor OF a hotel BY his direction
rules we're posted in the hostelry for
bidding almost every conceivable priv
ileEe TO those not guests Of the place.
There was absolutely no chance for
the casual loafer to get newspapers,
pen, ink, stationery, etc. There we're
not even free seats in the office.
One day, relates the Success Maya
zine he CHANGED to observe a chronic
loafer gazing at the old clock that
hung on the wall. The next day a
sign was placed over the clock. It
read: This clock is for the use Of
the guests of the hotel only"

Prlscllla's Revenge.

It was in the days Of old when
knights were bold and dressed in
cleaning armor.
George, DEAR" said Priscilla, over
her daily task, wilt thou not help
me with my skeins?"
"By the tower OF London-no!"
roared George, as he sharpened his
lance. You haven't spinning
wheel for a husband"
Two hours later George returned
from the fray with his armor bat
tered and torn.
Dearest Priscilla" he said, soft
ly. wilt thou not put a few patches
on my dress suit?"
mo, George" replied Priscilla,
sweetly. you haven't a blacksmith
for a wife"
And the bold knight was so hu.
inflated he went over TO Ye Frozen
Heart tavern and stood the tavern
keeper off for a tankard.

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.
Covered with Yellow sores-Grsw
Worse-Parents Discouraged-cu-
ticura Drove Sores Away.

"Our little girl, one year and a
half old, was taken with eczema or
that was what the doctor called It,
he gave some tablets and said she
would be all right in few days
The eczema grew worse and we
called in doctor No. 2. He said she
was teething, as soon as the teeth
were through she would be all right
But she still grew worse. Doctor
No. said It was eczema. BY this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, so we let him try 1t about
a week. One morning we discovered
a little yellow pimple on one Of
her eyes. OF course we 'phoned for
doctor No. 3. He came over and
looked her over, and said that he
could not do anything more for
her, that we had better take her
TO some eye specialist, since It was
an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to
doctor No. 4, and he said the eye
sight was gone but that he could
help It. We thought we would try
doctor No. 8. Well, that proved the
same, only he charged $40 more than
doctor No. 4. We were nearly dis
couraged. l saw one Of the Cuti-
cura advertisements in the paper and
thought we would try the Cuticura
Treatment, so l went and purchased
set OF Cuticura Remedies, which
cost me 81, and in three days our
daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week all sores had
disappeared. or course it could not
restore the eyesight, but II we had
used Cuticura in time l am confident
that it would have saved the eye. We
think there is no remedy so good for
any skin trouble or impurity Of the
blood as Cuticura. Mr.. and Mrs Frank

is some 81 feet thick at Dover and 80
feet thick at Sangatte, and the maxi
mum depth OF the tunnel will be 300
feet below sealevel The total length
of the excavation necessary Is 30
miles and there will be two tunnels,
IS feet In diameter and A. feet apart
communicating with one another by
transverse galleries at intervals Of
every Quartermile. The motive power
for the trains will be electricity, sup.
piled from a large powCr-house on
each side Of the channel. and the rail-
way tunnels will be kept dry by the
drainage galleries beneath them,
which will carry off the innltrated
water TO either end. where 1t will be
pumped to the surface Various
schemes exist for safeguarding the
exit on the English side in times OF
emergency the tunnel with
poisonous gases and destroying It by
genial devices recommended by the
military committee of 1852. But It
is generally admitted that the formid.
able Dover batteries commanding the
exit, plus an arrangement for tenn.
porarily flooding the English end,
should suffice to calm the fears Of the
most timorous alarmists.
The total cost Is estimated at $40.
100000, and Of this sum half will be
raised In England and half in France.
The next receipts are estimated. on a
very conservative basis, at something
over $5,OO0,OOO per annum; but the
amount of traffic which this pleasant
and rapid means OF communication Is
certain to create, will probably sur
pass the dreams of its most sanguine
promoters. The work can be COM
pleted within seven years, by which
time. perhaps the development OF
the flying machine will have estab-
lIshed yet another means of communl-
cation, SO that the tourist of 1913 will
have the choice of travelling from
England TO the fair land Of France by
land, by water, and by air.

the new food from the very first
mouthful. The doctor kept me on

One Physician Enonnh.

The latest story about Senator Pet
tus of Alabama is of how he was
overcome with vertigo some time ago
while working on a law case in his
Alabama office. He recovered in a
few minutes and his clerk said he
was going TO send for a doctor. "An
right" said the octogenarian, but
don't get more than one" When the
doctor arrived the senator said: you
are the only doctor here, are you?
You're sure there's only one of you?"
"Oh, yes, senator" said the physl-
clan, who thought the old gentleman
had some confidential communication
to make. I'm mighty glad of It,"
the senator said, with a sigh of relief.
Il am sure I'll get well If there IS
only one OF you fellows here, but |
could not survive a consultation"

Scrupulous Senator,

Senator Spooner Of Wisconsin sur
prised some members Of congress with
whom he was chatting the other day
by announcing that he has never taken
part in a congressional junket of any
kind. Il never shall undertake such a
journey at government expense" he
said There is something very objec-
tionable to me in members of congress
going on such expeditions" For the
same reason that made him sidestep
congressional junket Senator
Spooner said he had never been
shaved in the senate barber shop,
which is maintained at Uncle Sans
expense.
