Daily Life in America.

At a recent dinner in London the
conversation turned to the subject of
lynching in the United States. 1t was
the general opinion that a large per-
centage of Americans met death at
the end of a rope. Finally the hos
tess turned to an American who had
taken no part in the conversation,
and said:
you, sir, must have often seen
these affairs?"
"Yes," he replied, 1--WE take a kind
of municipal pride in seeing which
city can show the greatest number of
lynchings yearly"
ooh, do tell us about a lynching
you have seen yourself" broke in
half a dozen voices at once
1.-The night before I sailed for Eng
land" said the American, Il was CIV
ing a dinner at a hotel to a party of
intimate friends when a colored wait
er spilled a plate of soup over the
gown of a lady at an adjoining table.
The gown was utterly ruined, and the
gentlemen of her party at once seized
the waiter, tied a rope around his
neck, and at a signal from the injured
lady swung him into the air."
"H%orrible!" said the hostess with
a shudder. "And did you actually
see this yourself?"
Well, no." admitted the American
apologetically. Just at that moment
l happened to be down stairs killing
the chef for putting mustard in the
blanc mange."-Life.

years of misery l passed with my son. As
an infant | noticed on his body a red spot

for about five years, but when the spot

care of doctors. Under their treatment
the disease spread to four different parts
of his body. The longer the doctors treated
him the worse it became. During the day
it would get rough and form like scales.
At night it would be cracked, infamed and
badly swollen, with terrible burning and
itching. When 1 think of his suffering, it
nearly breaks my heart. His screams
could be heard downstairs. The suffering
of my son made me full OF misery. | had
no ambition to work, to eat, nor could |
sleep. One doctor told me hat m sons
Eczema was incurable, and gave it up for a
bad Job. One evening | saw an article in
the paper about the wonderful Cuticura
and decided to give it a trial. | tell you
that Cuticura Ointment is worth its weight
in gold, and when | had used the Ilrst box
of Ointment there was a great improve
ment, and by the time l had usel the
second set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura

was cured. He is now twelve years old,
and his skin is as fine and smooth as silk.
