BOY WAS SOMEWHAT MIXED.
Had Wrong Idea Of the Sound to 30
Removed.

Deacon Allen Sheldon, who recently
passed away, was universally respect
ed by all who knew him, and his
stories were listened to with much de-
light, says a writer in the Boston
Herald. He used to tell the following
with a great deal of interest:
When very small boy he asked his
father to let him go with him to the
town meeting. He went, with the
promise that when he returned he
would tell the folks what happened.
In those days the church was sup
ported by tax on every property
holder Whatever of interest came up
for the church had to be voted on at
the town meeting.
The pastor being feeble and his
voice not strong, an article in the
town warrant called for the removal
of the sounding board from over the
pastors head, since it acted as an ex-
tinguisher and not as originally
planned. When Allen returned he
told his mother about the sounding
board, and said:
'Mr. Flagg got up and said, in his
sQueaky voice: Mr.. Moderator,
make a motion that we remove the
sound from under the board

Judges on Their Dignity.

The ceremony Of the United States

their robing room across the corridor
to take their seats on the bench.
which occurs at high noon every week
day while the court is holding session,
is always a matter of interest to the
average visitor at the capitol. Every
day there Is small crowd waiting to
see the stately procession. The other
day Justice Moody, as the youngest
member of the august body, brought
up the rear. A flicker of a smile APP
peared on his face as he noted the
black-robed figures ahead of him, but
1t passed away instantly and he be-
came as solemn and grave as the
others.

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.

tIeura Drove Sores Away.

"our little girl, one year and q
half old, was taken with eczema or
that was what the doctor called 1t.
We called in the family doctor, and
he gave some tablets and said she
would be all right in a 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. 8 said it was eczema, By this
time she was nothing but q yellow.
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, so we let him try 1t about
q 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 1t 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. 5. Well, that proved the
same, only he charged $40 more than
doctor No. 4. We were nearly dis
Outraged I saw one of the Cuti-
cura advertisements in the paper and
thought we would try the Cuticura
Treatment, so went and purchased
a 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. OF course 1t could not
restore the eyesight, but II we had
used Cuticura in time l am confident
that it would have saved the eye. We

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

Many stories have been told Of
mean men. such as he who used a
wart for a eollar-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

Thoroughly Reliable.

II ever there was reliable and safe
remedy II is that old and famous por-
GUS plaster-Allcock's. 1t has been in
use for sixty years, and is as popular
to-day as ever, and we doubt il there
is civilized community on the face
Of the globe where this wonderful pain
reliever cannot be found. In the selec-
ton of the ingredients and in their
manufacture the greatest care is taken
to keep each plaster up to the highest
standard Of excellence, and so pure
and simple are the ingredients that
even a child can use them.
Allcock's are the original and gem
uine porous plasters and are sold by
Druggists all over the world.

BALM OF SCRIPTURE
HEALING PROPERTIES or PINE
KNOWN TO ANcIENTs.
oil Of the White Pine Tree Used sue
eessfulIy by Physicians in Treat
ing consumptiVe Patients.

The Oil Of the Pine Tree is sup
posed TO be the balm of Scripture. II
contains great medicinal properties
and was regarded with the utmost
esteem by the ancients. and to the
present day is peculiarly priced by
the people Of the East.
A noted authority on diseases Of the
throat and lungs. who established
camp for consumptives in the Pine
Woods Of Maine, says that his entire
treatment consisted Of fresh air,
nourishing food and the Pure Virgin
Oil Of the White Pine Trees, mixed
with Whisky and Glycerine in the fol-
lowing proportions:
Virgin Oil Of Pine (Pure) .Moz.
Glycerine ..................
Good Whisky ...........S
Used in teaspoontul doses every four
hours.
It is claimed the above mixture will
heal and strengthen the lungs. break
up cold in twenty-four hours, and
cure any cough that is durable.
The ingredients can be secured
from any good prescription druggist
at small cost. and can be easily mixed
in your own home.
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) is put up
only in half-ounce walls for dispensing.
Each vial is securely sealed in a
round wooden case with engraved

many rank limitations of Virgin Oil

There is talk IN England of the pro-

sources of the Sudan through scien-

line the banks of the Blue Nile along
its upper reaches, extending to the
Abyssinian frontier. The ebony tree
is met with along that river and also
near the Sobat. Along the White Nile
the india rubber creeper. valuable
source of rubber, abounds. There are

Best Trolley Wheels.

Il has now been settled without
question, says the Brass World, that
the best trolley wheels are those
which contain no lead The constant
arching of the wheel and wire burns
out the lead and causes the wheel to
wear rapidly. If trolley wheel is
found which contains lead it is GER
tain that it will wear out rapidly. 1t
is very difficult to obtain scrap metals
on the market which do not contain
lead. For this reason trolley wheels
must be manufactured from new
metals.
