ForaetsIns Something.

When the train that conveyed Pres.
ident Roosevelt through Virginia on
his last trip south stopped at Char
lottesville, a negro approached the
Hresident's car and passed aboard
Abig basketful of fine fruit, to which
was attached the card OF a prominent
grower.
In course of time the orchardist re-
ceived a letter of acknowledgment
from the White House expressing the
presidents appreciation of the gift,
and complimenting the donor upon his
fruit. The recipient of the letter was,
OF course, greatly pleased. and, feel
ing sure that his head gardener would
be much interested in the letter, he
read it to him. The darky who
served in the capacity mentioned lis
tened gravely, but his only comment
was:
"He doan' say nothin' bout sendin'
back de basket, do he?"-Succezs

Central American Wars.

Washington, D. c. - A sanguin
airy war-perhaps two wars or more
with as many revolutions added for
good measure-is what the state de-
partment officials now expect to mark
the summer of 1907 in Central Amer
lea. They were much cast down over
the sudden and unexpected failure of
the joint efforts of the governments
of Mexico and America to bring about
condition of permanent peace be-
tween the turbulent republics in Cen

BLACK, ITCHING SPOTS ON FACE.
Physician Called 1t Eczema in Worst
Form-Patient Despaired of Cure
Cuticura Remedies Cured Her.

About four years ago 1 was aff1ict-
ed with black splotches all over my
face and a few covering my body,
which produced a severe itching irri-
tation, and which caused me a great
deal of suffering, to such an extent
that l was forced to call in two of the
leading physicians of --. After a
thorough examination of the dreaded
complaint they announced it to be
skin eczema in the worst form. Their
treatment did me no good. Finally
became respondent and decided to dis
continue their services. My husband
purchased a single set of the Cuticura
Remedies, which entirely stopped the
breaking out. 1 continued the use of
the Cuticura Remedies for six months,
and after that every splotch was en-
tirely gone. 1 have not felt symptom
of the eczema since, which was three
years ago. Mrs. Lizzie E. Sledge, $40

Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and it is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children we'll dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, busting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such a woman
is never DONE and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end Of a
few years. the back begins to ache,
there is displacement, Inflammation
or liberation of the abdominal organs,
a female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
to continue her duties is pitiful.

woman needs whose strength is over

Boston, July 26.-The will of John
D. O'Shea of Lynn, Mass, grand trus-
tee of the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks, who died in Philadel-
phia, at the national convention brings
to light a romance that has lasted a
quarter of a century. In his will he
left $4,000 and his diamond ring to
Miss Hattie M. Evans, of Lynn, a
stenographer.
Friends say that % years ago O'Shea
paid court to Miss Evans and that the
admiration he had for the young wo-
man was returned. When matrimony
was proposed, vigorous objections
were made by the parents of both
young people on account of religious
differences of the families.
Both the young people continued to
live in Lynn. and 1t was known to in
innate friends that 1t was because of
their attachment that neither married.
O'Shea left an estate valued at
$4,000.
