"When my little boy was six months
old he had c2cema. The sores extended

then went to another doctor, but no

we went to a third one. Matters be-
came so bad that he had regular holes in
his checks. large enough to put finger
into. The food had to be given with
spoon. for his mouth was covered
with crusts ns thick us n finger, and when
ever. he. opened the mouth they began
To bleed and suppuratc. as did also his
eyes. Hands. arms, chest, and back, in
short the whole body was covered over
and over. We had no rest by day or
night. Whenever he was laid In his
bed, we had TO pin his hands down,
otherwise he would scratch his face and
must have itc'icd most fearfnlly.
We finally thought nothing could
help. and had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Europe,
hoping that the sea air might cure him.
Otherwise ,i, he was to BIO put under good

we soon saw miracle. a friend of

ABOUT OUR VACATIONS.

"With the vacation season now at
hand" said Mr.. Gwimbleton, "there
comes up as usual the question where
to 60; but, really, this is not so i'm.
portant as it is for us to decide to 90
somewhere and actually 60. Too
many OF US wind up by deciding that
we won't 60 anywhere this year, but
stay at home and rest there; which is
the worst mistake We could possibly
make.
"The grand benefit of vacation,
though perhaps we do not all realize
this, lies not in the enjoyment we get
out of it at the moment but in the
change it gives US from our routine
work and surroundings, and even the
very best and ablest of men need this
change. where we shall go is not
nearly so important as that we should
go somewhere, away from our famil-
lar, accustomed life and surroundings.

rest in comfort at home, just do moth

when he started to work again, about
as tired as when he quit. This be.
cause really he hadn't got out of the
rut at all.
'It was pleasant to sit around and
do nothing, the first day or two, but
after that it was the same old story,
and the familiar home surroundings,
in city or suburbs, that through the
year he had every day wished he
could see no more of now begin to be
rather too familiar, and he begins to
find himself wishing that he had some.
thing to do.
"You see, it wasn't lest he needed
so much as it was a change. He
wanted to let up on the tension, draw
ing harder and harder all the time.
He wanted to let up on that and feel
the joy of freedom from that strain,
and let the we'll that he had been
drawing on all the year fill up; and
he can't do any of these things if he
stays around home in The midst of IA
miliar surroundings, for these after
the first day or two are bound to keep
up their old familiar impression.
"No, sir. What he wants to do is
to cut it. Go somewhere, anywhere,
but go away, do something different;

and it doesn't make such an everlast-

it is.

TESTED WITH DROPS OF
WATER.

A drop of water, even three or four
drops, falling on the head seems a
thing unworthy of attention; never
theless, in China slow continuous
dropping of water on the head has
been found to be a method of torture
under which the most hardened crimi-
nal ahjectly howls for mercy.
When professor in the Sorbonne
stated this to his class the other day
says the London "Chronicle," one of
the students laughed incredulously,
and said that it would take good
deal of that sort Of thing to affect him.

The professor assured him that even
one quart of water dripped slowly in
to his hand would be beyond his en-
durance. He agreed to experiment.

was brought in, microscopic hole
was bored in the bottom, and the per.
formance began, the professor count.

During the first hundred drops the
student made airy remarks. With
the second hundred he began to look
less cheerful, then his face took on q
tortured expression. With the third
hundred the hand began to swell and
leok red. The pain increased to tor
ture. Finally the skin broke.
At the four hundred twentieth drop
the skeptic acknowledged his doubts
and begged for mercy. He could
stand no more.

THE OTHER FELLOWS JOB

rHE OTHER FELLOWS JOE
The farmer looks discouraged,
He hates the rake and hoe;
He wants to try the city,
Where money seems to grow;
The other fellow gets the grain,
And leaves him the cob.
SO in his heart he covets
The other fellows job.
The business man is worried,
Both ends will scarcely meet;
Last month he lost million
Upon deal of wheat;
He looks with longing to the farm,
And drops fearful sob;
1t seems to him like heaven
Tho other fellows job.
The doctor notes with envy
The lawyers bouncing ROLL
And wishes he had studied
With Blackstone as his goal;
The clerk is far from satisfied,
He sees the artists daub,
He cries "Oh, how much better!
The other fellows job.
IT'S quite the style to grumble,
AVID sign for other stars.
To wish we were transported
To somewhere, even Mars;
And if we reach the Happy Land
This thought the joy will rob,
For some will surely covet
The other fellows job.
