Eczema Covered Whole Body For a
Year No Relief Until Cuticura
Remedies Prove Perfect Success.

"For a year ] have had what they call
eczema. I had an itching alb over my body,
and when l would retire for the night 1t

the more l would scratch, the more 1t
would itch. l tried all kinds of remedies,

for l was completely cured. Walter w.

The Trials of Faith.

The Lord giveth faith for the pur-
pose of trying it. for the glory of His
own name and for the good of him
who has it, and by the very trial of
our faith we not only obtain blessing
to our own souls, by becoming the
better acquainted with God, If we
hold u confidence in Him, but our
faith is also by the exercise strength
ened. And so it comes that, If we
walk with God in any measure OF up
rightness OF heart the trials of faith
will be greater and greater.

United States Patents Granted on In
visible and Successful Ear Drum.

New York.-Mr. A. o. Leonard, a son OF
DR.. A. B. Leonard, of the Methodist
Church, whose Offices are at llel Broad
way, Suite 2aO, has invented q simple yet
effective little ear drum resembling a min
iature megaphone. He had for over thirty
wears, as hosts of his acquaintance and
friends know, a very complicated case of
catarrhal deafness which specialists had
failed to relieve, and yet so remarkably
successful is his invention that one could
scarcely believe him to be a deaf man.
Mr.. Leonard is now prepared to. help
those who. are afflicted with deafness and
will gladly give full information by mail:
He has made the price so low that no deaf
person can afford to allow this opportunity
to pass. -

Attorney Allen Raises an Interesting
 Point In the Gholson Case, 1 But Is OVerruIed.

After the jury had been empanneled ant everything seemed ready to proceed with the trial of Jim Gholson, charged with murder, in the first division of the criminal court yesterday, Attorney B. M. Allen, representing the defendant, filed motion to quash the indictment on various grounds, but mainly upon the ground that the foreman of the grand jury had signed his name with a rubber stamp which he claimed was not sigma ture as required by the law.
 This seems to be the age of rubber" said Attorney Allen. We have the rub Der trust, the rubber-neck and now the rubber stamp. Suppose a man conveyed a piece of property and he executed the deed by stamping his name with a rub Der stamp and his wife did likewise and the notary public stamped his name on the acknowledgment, where would this rubbering end?" Several legal opinions were read for and against the sigma ture, with the final result that the mo- tion was overruled and the trial pro- ceeded

Finally, the officer stationed under the bridge, noticed two feet and then whole convict, float out of the sewer. His face was almost white with fright. While kinlky hair stood on end. But before anything else, he reached in and pulled out another by the leg.
 At about the same time, two wet and conquered fishes stood up in the man hole at Eleventh avenue and asked to be helped out. They said they had eman- cipation enough to last the remainder of their lives. And so one by one the power of the water overcame them, and much to the amusement of the crowd, nine were hauled out of the raging and foaming sewer. Guards Caldwell and Abney at t o'clock started to the city jail with their reclaimed prisoners, and the water was turned off
 But one was braver than the rest. Grit ting his teeth he stood all the water, and continued to wiggle. At about dark he appeared at the house of a negro wom- an in Fountain Heights and asked for an axe.
