Essential to Christian Character.

Giving is essential to the eom-
pleteness of Christian character. It
is the browning grace because it is
the manifestation of the highest eX-

thy, unselfshness, Of contact with
Christ, of drinking in of His Spirit.

RUNNING SORES ON LIMBS

Little Girls Obstinate Case. Of Eczema
Mother Says: "Cuticura Remedies
--, Household Standby"
Last year, after having my little girl
treated by a very prominent physician for
an obstinate case Of eczema, ! resorted to
the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous re-
lief afforded that we discarded the physi.
clans prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and
Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with
the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs
were covered with running sores. In
about six weeks we had her completely
well, and there has been no recurrence Of
the trouble. We find that the Cuticura
Remedies are a valuable household stand
by, living as we do.twelve miles from a
doctor, and where it costs from twenty to
twenty-five dollars to come up OF the
mountain. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas,

came into the Union, its boundary des.

Desert thence in a direct line to the
headwaters of the Montreal river as

the two rivers is much more valuable.

Inasmuch as Wisconsin has held the

there are doubts as to whether she
will now consent even to discussion
of the proposition to rearrange the
boundary.

Going lntoPort



1t was during a general thaw In
early winter that the Lucy B., lum-
Der schooner, slid 'longside the dock Of
little town on the shore of Grand
Traverse Bay to take on load of
shingles. No ice had formed in the
bay and the sun had shone bright and
warm for many days. The short win
ter twilight had fallen by the time
the vessels sails were furled and the
hawser secured to the piles. The town
boys had gone pell-mell down the hill
from the village and raced across the
flats, for even so small an incident as
the landing of lumber vessel was Of
interest to them.
The crew of the Lucy B. went ashore
to lounge uptown to 1.-THE store" while
the cook prepared supper. One of the
men strobe ahead rapidly, closely fol-
lowed by a tow-headed boy, the young
est of the crew. The man was the first
mate and several months before at a
port town on Lake Superior he had
discovered the boy huddled behind a
pile of lumber on the dock crying bitter
ly, but silently. His face was swollen
and one eye was black and blue.
