Face and Body-Tore at Flesh
Cured by C%uticura.

"My little son, when about a year
and a half old began to have sores
come out on his face. They began to
come on his arms, then on other parts
of his body, and then n came on his
chest, worse than the others. At the
end Of about a year and a half of suf-
fering he grew so bad I had to tie his
hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be a mere skele-
ton and was hardly able to walk. I
sent to the drug store and got a cake
of Cuticura Soap and a box OF Cuticura
Ointment, and at the end of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since, and only for the Cuticura Rem
edies my precious child would have
died from these terrible sores. l used
only one cake of Soap and about three
boxes of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Shell

"PAYS. TO BE KIND"
ENGINEER PROVED TRUTH OF
OLD SAYING.
In the Case of the Old 1888 II Saved
Its Driver from Death-Plainly
Told "Pop" There was
Danger Aheed.

Eyes SIR said the fat engineer,
Il always make it a point to be friend-
ly with my engine, same as a good
teamster is kind to his horses, n
they seem to appreciate it. Some
times l get one that is a ~dyspeptic

human bein's, but it airit long before

hand.
Now, there was old 1888. When |
got her she was like an unruly child,
but after | had run her a spell n
used her firmly but gently, lettin' her
know l was boss, she fell to working
like a charm.
Il always put up a holler if l sus
piciOned the ~yardmaster vas putin
on more cars than old 1888 could
handle, especially 1T such times as |
thought the old girl was off her feed.
1t sure stood me in good stead, for
whenever l got into a tight place n
needed to shove her a little bit to
make a meetin' point, she'd never lay
down.
"'Now Nance I'd say to her, when
l was oiiin' 'roun', we've got to be in
Congers in just so many minutes. Do
your prtttiest,' on the same plan as a
good driver hands his horse a nice
red apple before he urges him to
draw a heavy load up a tedious hill.

No Grade CROSSINGS in Austria.

They have NO grade crossings IN
Austria. A railroad with 72S bridges
has Just been opened by the Archduke
Franz Ferdinand. 1t connects Trieste
with Assling, passing through Tyrol.
Besides the 72S bridges there are AZ
tunnels on this wonderful railroad.
The bridge over the Isonzo river is one
of the SO largest bridges in the world
and has a span of 270 feet The rea-
son for the multiplicity of bridges is
the mountain country through which
the railroad runs, but the level cross
ing for a railroad is not tolerated in
Austria.

Town Belle Criticised.

A town belle got off the train at q
small town between Atchison and To-
peka last night, says Ed Howe. She
shook hands with her left hand, wore
a larger hat than the girls who met
her, wore pretty loud clothes, chewed
gum and when she hit the cinder plat

grinned at her and said: Hello.
there!" This town belle was not bad
looking, but she couldn't keep her
mouth closed even when she was not
talking.-Kansas City Journal.

A trip into the Dismal Swamp Is
one of the attractions offered by the
Jamestown exhibition. A steamboat
route has been opened up through the
1000 square miles involved, which,
moreover, are said not to be so dis

Dismal Swamp was once the hiding
place of runaway slaves. The swamp
itself was not terrible to them. It
seemed almost heavenly if they could
succeed in reaching it. The dismal
part was their flight across the south

A pack of well-trained bloodhounds
in each county would do more to pre-
vent crime than half the laws on our
statute books.
The fair spirit in Mississippi means
much for our future development along
agricultural, horticultural and stock
growing lines.
Eternal vigilance will keep Mississippi
in the column of a few states free from
graft in official circles. Keep up the
vigilance.
