SORES AS BIG AS PENNIES.
All Came Out-Cured in Three
Weeks by Cuticura.

"After having the measles my whole
head and neck were covered with sca!y
sores about as large as a penny They
were just as thick as they could be.
My hair all came out. l let the trou-

remedies and rubbing on salve, but it
did not seem to get any better. 1t

then l got a set of the Cuticura Rene
dies, and in about a week l noticed a
big difference, and in three weeks it
was well entirely and I have not had

AS SHE HAD BEEN ORDERED.
Domestic Cleared Everything Left
Over Out of the Ice Box.

There recently entered the service
of Cleveland family a domestic of
Scandinavian origin. She had never
seen refrigerator before, and the
lady of the house, after initiating her
into it's mysteries, instructed her
never to leave anything old or left
over in the ice-box, but to keep the
refrigerator perfectly clean and fresh
by throwing the old things away each
morning.
The very next day the mistress,
looking out of the window, observed
something peculiar in the yard
What is that, Sophie?" she asked.
"And how did it get there?"
THAT is old ice ma'am," was the
proud response, cleft over from yes

Il am old enough to be your father" "
THAT is the weakest excuse you
could give me, At your age ones blood
ought to be cooled to a certain discre-
ton. My father, if he had had any
thing important to say, would have re-
mained on the other side cf the door.
| am not deaf. Your explanation is in
order"
The duke had never been talked to
so plainly in all his life. For a while
he was without voice, but had plenty
of color. 1T is easily explained" he
finally bawled out to her. Her high
ness has eloped!"
The girl stared at him with wide
eyes. "Eloped?" she breathed family.
Yes, eloped."
Betty wondered if she heard Alright,
or If the duke were out of bis mind;
and then she recollected her conversa-
ton with the princess. Her mouth
opened as if to speak, but instead she
closed her lips tightly. That wilful
girl; whatever would become of her

said the duke to the maid. Il will sta
ton myself in the window while she
reads it,"
He strobe over to the window and
drew the curtains about him Below
the night crowds were wandering
about the Streets the band was play
ing in the Volksgarten; carriages were
rolling to and from the opera: the
fountain in the center of the square
sparkled merrily in the glare of the
arc lights. But the duke saw none of
these things. Rather he saw the tele-
graphic dispatches flying to the four
ends of the globe, telling the peoples
that he, the Grand Duke of Barscheit,
had been outwitted by a girl; that the
Princess Hildegarde had eloped with
man who was not the chosen one In
other words, he saw himself laughed
at from one end of the continent to
the other (There is something very
funny in domestic troubles when they
occur in another mans familyD No,
the duke saw not the beauty of the
night; instead of stars he saw aster-
isks, that abominable astronomy of
the lampoonists. He had never doubt
ed the girls courage; but to elope!
And who the devil had eloped
with her? He knew the girls natural
pride; whoever the fellow might be.

MEAN FILINGS AT EDITORS.
Tributes by Lafcadio Hearn to Class
of Workers He Disliked.

"Lafcadio Hearn, that wonderful
writer, worked on newspapers in his
youth" said a publisher, "and the
ruthless way his studies were changed,
cut and butchered was a great woe
to his heart.
''In after years Hearn took a mali
cious joy in collecting stories about
editors-editors and their superior
and omniscient way with manuscript
"One of his stories was of an editor
to whom a subscriber said:
:" L enjoyed that poem on the three
ages of man in to-day's paper, Mr.
Sheers; | enjoyed it immensely. Do
you know, though. | thought it was
originally written the seven ages Of
MANI
so it was, sir; so it was said
Editor Sheers, pompously. Yes, the
extract was originally written the
seven ages of man, but | had to cut it
down for the lack of space.
Another story concerned a weather
report. A reporter discussing the
weather, wrote that winter still lin
gered in the lap of spring.
THE editor, as he read over the
article, called the reporter to his desk
and told him that he would cut out
that sentence about winter lingering
in springs lap. He said the idea was
good enough, and all that sort of
thing, but it would not do to publish
because the high moral tone of the
paper had to be maintained in a town
full of school girls"

One Waiter with Sense,

Man in a restaurant, happening in

And having eaten very modest
luncheon this man laid down a mod
est tip, to be exact, five cents.
And did the waiter shy off or sniff
at this nickel? He did neither, but on
the contrary he seemed to regard it
as an augury of good fortune that his
first customer should have given him
something, and
Thank YOU" he said, politely, to
the customer, and as he turned away
he added to himself: That's a start.

The contract for the Bundy dormi-

The Lakeview Building company

that the building be completed by

said, well, what did he sell the dog
for?"
'Why, to get rid Of the dog" said
Mr.. Mcdowell. as he hustled away

day preceding the opening of the legis-

smoothly in that august assemblage.
He would pray something after this
fashion:

One Sunday after the deacon had fin

young man who was kneeling in a
nearby pew and whose name Mr.. Whit

morrow, when it is announced Slimp's

After considerable argument, dur

are members of the public morals COM
mittee, charged that they had been
prevented from signing minority re-
port, and which assertions were vigor-
ously denied by Representative Nor
gan. The bill was referred back to
the committee for further action. 1t
is expected the committee will make
a report tomorrow morning and that
there will be minority report IL
such is the case, there will be another
effort made to kill the bill.

George Morris, Under the In
fIuence of Liquor, Gets in
Serious Trouble.
Halls FROM NEWCASTLE
POLICE ARREST THE iNEBRIATE
AT THE RESIDENCE OF WILL
LIAM MILLS ON NORTH EIGHTH
STREET.

George Morris paced back and forth
in one of the roomy cells of the city
prison last night, and bemoaned the
fact that he had torn himself away
from the peace and quietude of dear
old restful Newcastle to lead rapid
life in Richmond.
In his meanderings through the
northern section of the city yesterday
afternoon, George managed to get on
intimate terms with various brands of
booze, probably being of that class of
individuals who do not believe in
spending all of their money in one
house. However this may be, ere
the shades of night had fallen, the pill
grim from Newcastle was, putting it
mildly, in a decidedly cratic frame
of mind Such was his condition
when he attempted to push his way
into the rooms occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. William Mills on North Eighth
street. Mr. Mills, who is member of
the No. hose house, was not at home,
but Mrs. Mills was, and she shut and
locked the door in the face of the
ubiquitous gentleman from the county
Of Henry, whereat he was greatly an
gered and threw the boots into the
aforesaid door with great yigor. FL
nally realizing, however, that his ef-
forts to effect an entrance would come
to nought, he sought to depart, but was
from doing SO by neighbor.'
In the meantime somebody had in
formed Mr.. Mills of the trouble and he
was soon on the spot
A few minutes later the turbulent
citizen from Newcastle was on his
way to headquarters in the hurry

EarIham Gets Ready for the
Biz Track Meet to Be Held
Here in May.
THE ATHLETIC OUTLOOK
LOSS OF CAREY kEENLY FELT,
BUT PROSPECTS FOR TRACK
TEAM FAIRLY GOOD - INDIAN
APOLIS Y. M. c. A. MEET.

The work on the new grand stand
on Reid Field that is being erected in
place of the one that blew down last
fall, is progressing rapidly, all the
frame work now being in position.
This building will be larger than the
former structure and differently con.
structed so as not to be SO easily af-
fected by the wind. 1t will be large
enough to hold the great crowd which
is expected to be here for the state
high school meet the last of next May.
The track men have not begun reg
1Ilar training yet, but hope to as soon
as the weather permits. The lack of
a large gym with an indoor track at
Earlham does not permit of much win
Ter training, so the men look anxiously
for the coming of spring.
Earlham expects to have a good
team with the help of Captain White,
who won the hurdle race in the |. G. a.
j. meet last spring, and Wann, the
long distance runner, who took the
mile with ease at Terre Haute two
years ago. Smelser, for the wights.
will be on the team again this spring,
and will be helped by Ralph Guyer. the
Richmond high school star of last
year. Carey, who won the hammer
throw last spring. will be greatly miss
ed in this event and also in the sprints
but it is thought that some of the new
men will be able to fill the gap. With
the new men and the old point win
ners, Earlham expects to hold her own
with the other members of the /. c. A.
L., at Charlottesville this spring.
Tho IuIianannIic " nj ~ has
written to Earlham for a meet to be
held here and it is probable that it will
be arranged for.
The Earlham Athletic association
held meeting yesterday. At the
last meeting committee was appoint
ed to revise the constitution of the
association and yesterday it was read
and accepted as revised. No other
business came up before the associa-
ton.
