Iona Sermons.

Mark Twain tells this story. the
moral of which you may supply your
self: Il went to church one time and
was SO impressed by what the preach
er told me about the poor heather
that l was ready to give up hundred
dollars of my own money and even go
out and borrow more to send to the
heathen. But the minister preached
too long. and my enthusiasm began to
drop about $25 a drop till there was
nothing left for the poor heather, and
by the time he was through and the
collection was taken up / stole ten
cents OF the plate. e."-Southwestern's g

cup was won by New Britain firemen
in a state parade and tournament in
New Haven so years ago. The event
which the firemen won was a stream

the husky fire laddies dragged small

streets of the Elm City. and the crowd
on the sidewalks laughed and jeered
the firemen from the Hardware City.
Laugh. II you will. but he laughs

foreman in answer to particularly
noisy party, and he expectorated to-

In the contest the stream from the

next day the company returned to the

students at manual training high

THE first l ever knew of supersti-

him. and asked my mother why.
It's bad luck she said.

knows why all these things bring evil,
but many persons believe they do.
I'm the south so many superstitions
originate among the negroes that they
are almost innumerable. No one ex-
plains the reasons for their 'voodoos.'
Some superstitions are sensible.
For instance. 1t is said bad luck will

THE belief that If you pass a pin
without picking 1t up you will have
bad luck originated many years ago.
Pins were costly then and children
were taught to pick them up and keep
them for their value. They formed
the habit. and it has been handed
down from generation to generation
until 1t has become superstition.
Perhaps some children who did not

Where II Hurt Most.

Young gentlemen" said the college
president, Notwithstanding. the fact
that he was addressing the students,
young gentlemen, hazing must be
stopped and stopped at once. 1t has
injured the college more than any
of you ever could guess. Only last
week a gentleman declined to give
us s1,000.00O because there was so
much hazing. Hazing is bad thing

How about morally?" asked the
student.

Proof Of MerIt.

The proof OF the merits of plaster
is the cures 1t effects. and the volun-
tary testimonials Of those who have
used Allcock's Plasters during the
past sixty years is unimpeachable
evidence OF their superiority and
should convince the most skeptical.
Self-praise is no recommendation, but
certificates from those who have used
them are.
Allcock's are the original and gen.
uine porous plasters and have never
been equaled by those who have
sought to trade upon their reputation
by making plasters with holes in
them. Avoid substitutes as you would
counterfeit money.

CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year. after having my little
girl treated by very prominent ply
sician for an obstinate case of &C.
zema, / resorted to the Cuticura Rem
edies, and was SO well pleased with
the almost instantaneous relief afford
ed that we discarded the physician S
prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap. Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura RENE
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence of
the trouble.
in July of this year. little boy
in our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were
mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, washing
his hands and arms with the Cuticura
Soap, and amounting them with the
Cuticura Ointment. and then gave
him the Cuticura Resolvent. In
about three weeks his hands and
arms healed up. So we have lots of
cause for feeling grateful for the Gu
ticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby. living as we do
