We're found in the deep woods near

Foster had threatened to take his
W life. He left the house with his
bride, taking his rifle. At noon she
returned alone, depressed, and re-
fused to eat, saying she would wait
for her husband. In the afternoon
she went in search of him, found
him shot dead and, using a forked
stick to pull the trigger, fired a
charge into her own head and fell
dead across her husbands body. In
that position relatives found the bod

improvement OF the HarDor OF HaVan
A Cuban newspaper states that the
announcement that an American syn
dictate about to be formed would put
an end to the lighterage annoyances
in Havana by the construction of a
great pier for the landing of their
ships, has been hailed with the great
est delight by all who are interested
in simplifying transportation facili-
ties in and out of the harbor, and
that importers and exporters are
unanimous in the opinion that such
an improvement would do more for
the prosperity of Havana and the
whole island than any other improve
ment. The journal adds that in
many cases it costs more to send and
receive freight to and from the ships
in Havana Bay than it does for the
sea freightage to and from New York.

"After my granddaughter of about seven
years had been cured of the measles, she
was attacked about a fortnight later by a
furious itching and painful eruption all
over her body, especially the upper part of
it, forming watery and bleeding Sores, es-
pecially under the arms, of considerable
size. She suffered a great deal and for
three weeks we nursed her every night,
using all the remedies we could think of.
Nothing would help. We tried the Cuti-
cura Remedies and after twenty-four hours
we noted considerable improvement, and,
after using only one complete set OF the
Cuticura Remedies, in five consecutive days
the little one, much to our JOY, had been
entirely cured, and has been well for a long
