FURIOUS HUMoR ON CHILD.
Itching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body
Nothing Helped Her-Cuticura
Cures Her in Five Days.


AFTER my granddaughter of about
seven years had been cured of the
measles, she was attacked about
fortnight later by furious itching and
painful eruption all over her body,
especially the upper part of it, forming
watery and bleeding sores, especially
under the arms, of considerable size.
She suffered 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
Cuticura Remedies and after twenty
four hours we noted considerable i'm
provement. 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 we'll for long

Grab Rope from BeIIrinoer and Cut

Ghostly happenings have disturbed
the town of Kirkwall, the capital Of
the county of Orkney. On Wednes.
day night, says the London Daily Mail,
the wife of the bellringer went to st.
Magnus cathedral to sound the curfew
at eight o'clock. This is an ancient
custom still observed in the burgh.
The bell had been tolled for less than
q minute, when, it IL alleged, a figure
suddenly appeared 1t the woman's
side, snatched her hands from tho
rope and as mysteriously disappeared.
Another morning 20 trees which
few years ago were planted in
front Of the cathedral were found to
have been cut down. The night was
q calm one, with brilliant moonlight,
and the trees were standing at one
o'clock in the morning.
Hundreds Of windows have an out
look on the spot, and many people who
were still astir at three o'clock in
the morning did not hear the slightest
sound outside. Yet an hour later
every tree had been destroyed. The
police are banned.

Kentucky Girl Leaps from Window to
Escape "Ghost."

Ashland, Ky.-Frightened by her
sister, who was wrapped in a sheet
and playing ghost, Clara Osgood
leaped from a second-story window at
her home near Reedville and was in
stantly killed, her neck being broken
by the fall.
The girls had had an argument owe
ghosts and Clara stoutly maintained
that no apparition could scare her,
and offered to bet her sister a new
silk petticoat to that effect.
Waiting until Clara apparently had
forgotten the incident the elder sister
wrapped a sheet about her and entered
Clara's sleeping room late at night, ut
tering weird means. Clara suddenly
awoke, and, rushing to the window, in
her fright leaped ~headlong through to
the ground below.
The sister, Annie Osgood, is progtrat-
ed with grief and is being watched
for fear she will take her life.

WHY TT is NECESSARY.
All Banks Prefer to Be on Safe Side
and Caution Moderation.

st. Louis, Mo.-The banks of st.
Louis are not different from the banks
all over the country. Beginning Mon
day morning, they refused to pay out
large amounts of currency, and will
not return to paying in cash until the
financial condition in the east i'm
proves. Depositors seeking to with
draw money were given checks of the
bank instead of cash. Commercial de-
positors are allowed to draw the full
amount of their balances, but must ac-
cept the banks checks instead of cur
rency.
The rule requiring savings banks de-
positors to give 80 days notice before
drawing out less than 500. and 60
days notice before drawing out more
than $500, was also put in force.
The local banks declare that they
were compelled to adopt these rules
because of the action taken by the
banks in the east, which would soon
have drained this city of its cash re-
sources.

President Roosevelt Co~ngratulates

A leading news concern, a most con-
sentative institution, has made careful
investigation of conditions surround
ing the present furry in the money
market, and from it's headquarters in
New York, where the furry started,
and doubtless where it will end, states
in the latest dispatches possible that
the worst is over and that it is only
a question of time when saner reason
will prevail and the pessimist be rele-
gated to the oblivion to which such
characters rightfully belong. 1t doubt
less will take a few days to econ
plish the desired end, but that the
final result will be satisfactory to the
public at large is as sure as fate. No
legitimate institution need fear for re-
suit. There will be temporary incon-
venience, but there is NO doubt in the
world that sound institutions will
weather the storm and in the end
business will be on a more substantial
footing than before the trouble vas
started in Wall street. The banking
institutions which have adopted the

the interests of their depositors, as

solution to a veXed problem.)

100, 900, but one authority now places
it at no more than 10000.
OF the former splendors of "Bokha-
ra the Noble" the remains are compar-
atively few. 1t was described by YAM
berry, a noted traveller, as one OF the
dirtiest and most unhealthful in all
Asia.
The streets are extremely narrow
and the houses, fiat rooted and built
of sun-dried bricks, OF frame works Of
wood, are small and only one story in
height.
The largest building in Bokhara is
the Mosque of Kelan, which was orig.
inally built by Timur and restored by
Abdullah Kahn. 1t occupies a square
OF 300 feet, and is surmounted by a
dome 100 feet high.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WROTE:

The White House, Washington.
My Dear Mr.. CorteIyou: con-
graduate you upon the admirable
way in which you have handled
the present crisis.
| congratulate also those con-
sentative and substantial business
men who in this crisis have acted
with such wisdom and public
spirit.
BY their action they did inval-
liable service in checking the
panic which, beginning as a mat
ter of speculation, was threaten
ing to destroy the confidence and
credit necessary TO the conduct
of legitimate business.
No one who considers calmly
can question that the underlying
conditions which make up our
financial and Industrial weil-be-
ing r essentially sound and
honest. Dishonest dealing and
speculative enterprise are mere
ly the occasional incidents of our
real prosperity.
The action taken by you and by
the business men in question has
been of the utmost consequence
and has secured opportunity for
the calm consideration which
must inevitably produce entire
confidence in our business condi-
tons. Faithfully yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
