When Bishop Talbot, now of the

"the cowboy bishop of Idaho and
Wyoming he never overlooked an op-

for the missionary work in which he
took ch delight. On one occasion.
while attending a meeting of church
dignitaries in st. Paul. he was chatting
with some other clergymen on the
steps of his hotel when several ho-
boes came along. One of them ap-
preached and asked for aid. Bishop
Talbot took him aside and after a
short but earnest conversation the

Grateful to Cuticura.

My wife was taken badly with ec-
zema for three years, and she en-
ployed a doctor with no effect at all
until she employed Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. One of her hands
and her left eye were badly affected,
and when she would stop using Gu
ticura Soap and Ointment the eczema
came back, but very slightly: but it
did her sight of good. Then we
complied with the instructions in u.s.
ing the entire set of Cuticura Rene
edies and my wife is entirely recov-
cred. She thanks Cuticura very much
and will recommend 1t highly in our

Bishop Talbot, the Cowboy Bishop

life as bishop among the cowboys anc
miners of early Wyoming and Idaho
had many an amusing experiences and
made hosts OF devoted friends.

of the camp. The second and third

seemed nervous. and hesitated while
he fumbled in his pocket. After con.
siderable delay he brought out quar-.

the bishop is not after small game to-
day White chips don't go here. He
wants a wheel out of you. Hurry up
"The hymns were being rapidly

turned to the platform with the hat.
His face heamed with satisfaction.
