THOUGHT CHILD WOULD DIE.

Whole Body Covered with Cuban
Itch-Cuticura Remedies Cured
at Cost of Seventy-five Cents.
"My little boy, when only an infant
OF three months, caught the Cuban
Itch. Sores broke out from his head
to the bottom of his feet. He would
itch and claw himself and cry all the
time. He could not sleep day or night,
and a light dress Is all he could wear.

treat him. but he seemed to get worse
He suffered SO terribly that my hus-
band said he believed he would have
to die. 1 had almost given up nope
when a lady friend told me to try the
Cuticura Remedies. | used the Cutr
cura Soap and applied the Cuticurs
Ointment and he at once fell into
sleep, and he slept with ease for the
first time since two months. After
three applications the sores began to
dry I'D, and in just two weeks from
tbe day I commenced to use the Cuti-
cura Remedies my baby was entirely

safe in saying that the Cuticura Rem

ments. In fact the vFavorite Prescrip-
ton" stands alone as being the only
medicine for woman's special ailments
which has anysuch professional endorse
ment of its several ingredients which
fact is generally recognized as entitled
to much more weight than any amount
of lay, or non-professional testimonials.
The uFavorite Prescription" stands
alone as the only non-secret, medicine
for woman's ailments. It's manufact-
urers are not afraid to publish its in
gradients, as they do, broadcast-thus
counting the fullest scrutiny.
The "Favorite Prescription" has been
on trial in court and came out fully
vindicated as containing no harmful or
habit-forming drugs.
What other medicine for women could
stand such @ test?
No invalid women can afford to
accept a secret nostg2tan of @1ok7a0aO91
composition for this tried and proven
remedy OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Lead
ing physicians often prescribe it because
they know exactly what it is made of
and that the ingredients of which it is
composed are the very best known to
medical science for the cure of woman's
peculiar weaknesses and delicate
ailments.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is not
advertised as vCure All " but admira bly,
fulfills a singleness of purpose, being q
superior and most positive remedy for one
class of diseases only-those easily recog-
nzed weaknesses, arrangements, irgegu-
larities and painful disorders peculiar to
women. It is a powerful, yet gently act
ing, invigorating, tonic and strengthening
nervine. For weak, worn-ou3a over-work-
ed women-no matter what has caused
the break-down,-whet it be from too
frequent bearing of children or from much
worry, care, or over exertion of any kind,
"Favorite Prescription will be found
most efficient in building up the strength,
banishing pain and bringing about a reg.
ular and healthy, vigorous condition OF
the whole female system.

Clad only in drops of water, fifteen
boys, aged from II to 10 years, raced
yelling through Lindell boulevard, St.
Louis, and other sedate streets adjacent
to Forest park, sending women folk
scampering indoors from porches and
lawns startled and blushing.
Painting after the glistening legs of
the boys trundled Park Officer Walsh.
He had caught the boys swimming III
the park lake and soaring the young
lives out OF the fish Matching there.
Walsh, with great strategy, had crept
up on the boys just where their clothes
were piled On the bank. He invited
them to come ashore and be arrested,
but they swan to the other side and
fed. For company's sake the lads kept
together as they ran, and the picture
they made as they fled down Lindell
boulevard would have charmed an artist.
The boys hid in alleys and barrels
until the policeman promised he would
not arrest them. Then they ran back
for their clothes past deserted lawns and
porches. This time, though, a good
many window curtains fluttered sus-
piciously as they passed.

Was Vice President Fairbanks born i'll
a log cabin? This great question, which
threatens to become an issue in the next
presidential campaign. is causing excite
ment among the sons of Indiana. In
1.-THE Life and Speeches of Charles War
rem Fairbanks" by w. II. Smith, is
shown a picture of log cabin in which
the vice president is reported to have
been born.
The authors son, William Wolff
Smith, in reply to a recent article in an
eastern weekly, has taken up the asser-
ton that the autobiography is inaccurate
and that the picture is one of series
of fakes resOrted to for the purpose of
promoting the vice presidents political
ambitions. William Wolff Smith has is
sued the following statement:
'Much was made of a picture in the
book representing the house in which
Mr.. Fairbanks was born. AS the house
was burned a few years after his birth
and no picture had been taken of it. Mr..
Fairbanks at the request of Mr. Smith
(my father made a rough pencil sketch
from memory which was dressed up for
publicatio This, Mr. Smith says. is
all the connection Mr.. Fairbanks had
with the picture.
In the autobiography Mr.. Smith says
Mr.. Fairbanks was years of age when
the cabin was burned. and 1ndlanlans
are pointing to the assertion that Mr..
Fairbanks can sketch with accuracy a
building that was destroyed when he
was years old as a demonstration OF
his wonderful memory.

a package of thirty letters,
which had failed of delivery and har
been stored away in a Mexican postoffice
for upward of thirty years, was received
at the division of dead letters at Wash
incton.
Most of the letters had been written in
1875, 1876 and 1877, and were addressed
to members of the crews of sailing yes
sells, which were expected to stop at the
port of Mimatitlan, Mexico. Doubtless
by this time many of the writer's are
dead and the vessels to which the com
municat tons were directed have sailed
their last voyages, but the dead letter
division will endeavor as far as possible
to return the letter to the senders or to
surviving relatives.
One of the letters, which was opened
in order to ascertain the address of the
sender, was addressed to the captain OF
schooner by his wife, and on slip of
paper inclosed was the following note
written in the familiar scrawl of a child:
Dear Father love you and want
you to come home. 1 shall be 6 this
week.-Robie.'
AS the letter was written in 1877, the
little lad who made this appeal is now,
if living, a man of 36.

How a Flea Jumps.

1t is said that flea leaps 200 times
its height. and while 1t usually does
land on its feet. it often fails. especial
~ when il falls on perfectly smooth
surface, where the claws can get only
a slight hold. A flea has six legs,
whose great length and bulk make
them so heavy that they must be a
great help in keeping their owner right
side up when it makes one of those
gigantic jumps. and when it lands up
side down or in some other way its
ability TO kick is so great that not more
than one wrisgle is needed TO set things
right. A fea's wings are mere scales
and of no use. But small and worth
less as they are. they tell the entomolo-
gist something about the proper classi-
fication OF the insect. To the flea itself
they have no value.-St. Nicholas.
