took her to three doctors but by this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. One morning we dis
covered little yellow pimple on one
OF her eyes. Doctor No. said that we
had better take her to some eye spe-
cialist, since ii was an ulcer. So we
went TO oswego to doctor No. 4, and
he said the eyesight was gone. We
were nearly discouraged, but | thought
we would try the Cuticura Treatment,
so purchased set OF Cuticura Rem

days our daughter. who had been sick
about eight months. showed great i'm

had disappeared. OF course II could
not restore the eyesight. but If we had

TRADITION OF THE ROSE.
Pretty Legend Current Among North
American indians.

The North American Indians OF the
western coast have a tradition that
roses were created without thorns
So tall and fair they grew that all
creatures were attracted by their
beauty and grace. Animals that
browse upon grass and green heritage
soon discover the tender sweetness OF
the roses abundant foliage, and then
every rose tree holding its flowers
aloft but attracted attention and drew
destruction to itself.
Every part OF the earth had been
given its glory OF roses, but in every
place there were animals which
sought the bushes to devour them,
and and tribes of roses were in dan
ger OF becoming extinct. In their ex-
tremity they held a council, for in
that PARKWAY morning OF the world
plants as we'll as animals had power
to speak. To the council all the
roses came, and each had tale to tell
OF suffering and disaster. At length
1t was decided TO send for help to the
goldman of the tribes-the Hiawatha
OF the west. Delegates were chosen
from among those who were manned
and torn and had suffered most. 9th
ers also were sent who, were tall and
fair and graceful. Wisely this coun-
Gil discerned that should Justice be
denied the tribes. beauty might pre-
vail in their cause.
The conference was long and grave.
At Its close an armory OF thorns was
given to every rose. and thus were the
tribes of roses delivered from the en-
emies.-Circle Magazine.

The STORY.

THERE was but one topic OF CONVEX.
i Eation in all Israel and that was
concerning the youth from Bethlehem
who had killed Goliath. the terrible
Philistine giant, who for weeks had
held the army Of Israel in abject fear
and terror. Jonathan listened eagerly 10

command when the pursuit of the
Philistines had been taken up so I'm.
expectedly. he had eagerly responded
and was now pressing forward as ran
idly as possible. And for the first
time now he was hearing from his
armor bearers lips the story of the
wonderful exploit of the simple coun.
try lad. who had come into the camr
of Israel the day before just when the
Philistine champion had come out and
was defying the army OF Israel and
disappearing the name Of Israel's
God. Aroused by the sight. the vouth
had demanded to know why some one
of the warriors OF Israel did not %
out to fight against him in the name
OF the God OF Israel, and when he
learned there were none strong or
brave enough TO battle with so fierce
and powerful a foe. he had yolpn.
teered with boyish earnestaess to ga
out himself. declaring that the God Of
Israel would destroy the uncircum.

the armies Of the living God.
Jonathan listened to the story with
intense and growing interest. of how
this youth had been at last taken 10

Courtesy at Home,

We are all creatures OF habit,
men and women alike. and the habits
and surroundings of daily life have a
powerful influence on the character of
both. The root OF all bad manners is
selfishness; when self ever is first. fore
most consideration for others always
lags much in the rear. and drops so
far behind in time that it disappears
altogether. "One cannot keep up the
ceremony and etiquette OF society
when at home" True. for between
friends these can be laid aside. They
merely are the rivets that keep So
ciety together. but not courtesy and
consideration. The latter ought to
be so much the habit with each of us
that 1t will become our second nature.
and therefore can be no more laid
aside than can an arm or a leg.
