On the banks of the Thames just
above Windsor was moored for years

who is a lifelong friend of Richard
Mansfield. Her son is in America and
called on the distinguished actor the
other day. Mr.. Mansfield's second in

he had passed so many enjoyable
days.
"Oh, mother wearied of the water, "
explained the young Englishman,
though she loves the old house boat.
So she had piles driven in the bank
and raised the house on them and
there it stands high and dry and COM

What does she call it," queried
Mr.. Mansfield, unblushingly. THE

a. If he'd been sitting there ever since.
'Pd forgotten all about the old
Merry fellow; but the colonel hadn't.
Soon as he caught sight Of me.
he called me over and asked me to sit
down and join him in a drink. When
we had got our glasses filled, the
colonel began in 4 reminiscent tone:
1.-The other night, John, you were
asking me about 4 man named Mere
dith, or Merrivale. or Merryweather,
or Merry Andrew-used to live on Del
aware avenue, opposite side to me-
had two handsome daughters, highly
accomplished girls. Tall, hne-looking
man himself, very hospitable, used to
entertain lots of company-got elect
ed to the city council. but was un-
seated for bribery
Yes, yes, | said, nervously-it
made me mad to have somebody else
going all over this rotten rigmarole
that I'd concocted, and since forgot
ten: What of him, colonel?'
We'll, you were all right up to
that point, John, said the colonel,
slowly; but you said he had glass
eye
Eyes.
That's where you were a bit of,
john the colonel replied, taking. a sip
of his liquor.
How?' l asked.
Why, the dam'd old fool--he had
two glass eyes' the colonel yelled.
banging his fist down on the table.
well, l did the only thing a man
could do under the circumstance. l
set 'em up.
But the colonel wasn't cured Of his
old trick, nor satisfied with his re-
venge.
HE started out on another of his
long-winded stories. He said this man
with the two glass eyes reminded him
of another old citizen, whose name
was Sorfieet or S6refeet - something
of that kind; he couldn't rightly re-
member what. But the extremities of
his arms, the colonel said, were feet,
while his legs were finished of with
hands; and he had to walk with his
arms instead of his legs.
And what did he do with his legs?'
asked, innocently.
/" He sawed wood, the colonel re-
piled, with far-away look in his
eyes"

COULD NOT REST NIGHT OR DAY
Win Irritating Skin HumOr-WhoIe Body Affected Scalp Itched All the Time and Hair Began to Fall Out-WonderfuI Result From
APPLICATION OF
 CUTlCURA REMEDIES

RI am never without Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment since l tried them last summer. About the latter part of July my whole body began to itch. l did not take much notice of 1t at first, but 1t began to get worse all the time, and then l began to get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and other remedies that were recommended for skin humors; but became worse all the time. My hair began to fall out and my scalp itched all the time. Espe-- cially at night, just as soon as l would get in bed and get warm, my whole body would begin to itch and my finger nails would keep it irritated, and it was not long before could not rest night or day. A friend asked me to try the Cuticura Remedies, and did, and the first apph- cation helped me wonderfully. For about four weeks I would take hot bath every night and then apply the Cutrura Ointment to my whole body; and I kept getting better, and by the time used four boxes of Cuticura l was entirely cured, and my hair stopped falling out, but l continue to use the Cuticura on my scalp. It keeps all dan drutf out and scalp is always clean. l always use Cuticura Ointment on my face after shaving, and have found nothing to equal it. 1 will never be without it." D. E. Blankenship,
