Take Time In Dressing.

Never let 1t be your boast that you
can dress in five minutes. No woman
who has any respect for her appear
ance or her clothes will attempt to
dress in even double that time. 1t Is as
true in dressing as in anything else
that where there is the more haste
there Is the less speed. II is particu-
larry trying for a woman TO dress in
hurry. She gets iurried. and In her at
tempts to fasten her brooch the pin
sticks into her finger. She gets cross
over this. and then everything goes
wrong. Buttons come on shoes or
laces break. gloves and veil are not TO
be found until boxes and drawers have
been turned upside down. aDd then the
missing articles have been found on
the dressing table. When she does at
last get ready she Is conscious OF ap'
bearing at her worst being hot and
angry with herself and everybody else.

HORSE AND CARRIAGE BACK
STOLEN FROM nESBIT's
Acquisition Papers Needed to Get Man Who Took Them
 to Hoboken.

Much the worse for wear the horse and carriage which was stolen from Liveryman Nesbit week or so ago re- turned last evening by steamboat and both once more repose at home. The team was taken by man who gives his name as George N, Bunnell, but whose real name Is thought to be Pease. The man got as far as Hobok- en, N. J., with the team, and there attempted to sell, but was stopped by the police. Detective Daley was sent down to take charge of the man, and he returned last evening stating that he was remanded there pending the is- suing of requlsition papers to transfer him to this state. It was at first ex- pected to bring him here without these papers but it was found necessary to secure them.
 Detective Daley, however, shipped back the stolen property. He said that the man said he had driven all the way from this city to Hoboken with the animal and apparently had not fed it on the way beyond a bag of feed which he took with him, as when asked if he had not stopped at all on his way down, he said: "Yes, at a sa- loon.' The horse appeared very thin and showed noticeably the results of his treatment.

CUTICURA CURES BLOOD POISONING
Hand Cut With Lead Pipe = Arm Became Painful and Swollen Sufferer Was in Despair, for Amputation Seemed Last Resort.
CURED IN A MONTH BY
 CUTICURA REMEDIES

"A few years ago. while at work, I cut my hand with piece of lead pipe and, as it was but a mere scratch, did not give it any attention. A few days after my arm began to pain me and became terribly swollen. l went to see a physician, who told me 1t was a case of blood poison, and if there were no signs of the inflammation leaving l should have to have my arm amputated. He treated me for month or so, but did not help me. Another doctor told me it was inf1ammatory rheumatism, but his medicine seemed to do no good. I gave up all hope and was discouraged. At last a friend told me to try good blood medicine. l used Cuticura Re- solvent Pills for three weeks, when, to my surprise, the place where 1 had cut my hand began to fester and then broke out in large sore. The swelling went down, and l applied the Cuticura Ointment and inside of month my arm was entirely cured, and owe nay recovery to the Cuticura Remedies. I can never praise them enough, and recommend them to all my friends. Ben. Jenkins, 148 Washburne Ave-, Chicago, H., Dec. 23, 1906."
