MansfieId's Rebuke.

A group of theatrical men were talk
ing in New York about the late Rich
ard Mansfield.
Mr.. Mansfield" said one, was de-
lightful humoroist, splendid racon-
teur in society, but at the same time
he had certain proper and becoming
sense of his own dignity, and it never
paid to be unduly familiar with him.
He was, as we all know, rather
bald. He resented. from BARRIERS, or
friends, any allusion to his badness.
well. one night at a party, man
came up behind this great artist, stag
yered him with violent slap on the
oack, and exclaimed in loud, jovial,
familiar voice:
"'Hello. Dick. How are you? Every
time 1 see you, you get balder and
balder'
Mansfield drew himself up. He
sneered at the other.
"'Hello.' he said. 4 don't know who
you are. but every time see you you
get ruder and ruder.'"

MY wife had eczema for five or six

give the Cuticura Remedies trial. We
did so and she has never had sign of
eczema for four years. / myself used
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
some time ago for falling hair. l now
have a very heavy head of hair. We
used Cuticura Remedies for our baby,
who was nearly bald when young. She
has very nice hair now. She is very
feshy, and we had so much trouble
with heat that we would battle her
with Cuticura Soap and then apply
Cuticura Ointment, it would dry the
heat up so much quicker than any.

JUST WHAT HE WANTED.
Surely Here Were Musical Tastes
Enough to Suit Anybody.

A gentleman Of the most cultivated
musical tastes. wishing to change his
residence, advertised for rooms In
private family fond of music" The
next mail brought him the follow

Dear Sir: think we could accom-

music one Of my daughters plays the
parlor organ and gittar; another one
plays the ACCORDION and banjo; ] play
the cornet and fiddle; by wife plays
the harmonica and my son the flute.
We all sing and If you are good at
tenner singing you would fit right in
when we get to singing gospel hims
evenings. for none Of us sings tenner.
Or If you plays the base vial we have
one right here in the house. If you
want music as we'll as rooms and

there would be no extra charge for it.

Starch were used In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness OF the fabric Is
hidden behind paste OF varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance. but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch. as 1t can be applied

While Oil City cannot, perhaps,
boast of being strictly cold-water
town, she can. we believe. lay claim
to having among her residents the
champion temperance man of the
state, II not of the entire country.
Not only has he never drank any kind
of spurious or malt liquors. but he
has never allowed any tea. coffee, soup
or any kind of milk to pass his lips
since he was child. He is colored
man, was born In slavery, and because
his father frequently drank more
whisky than was good for him. he re-
solved when boy to never drink any
thing but water. And he has reli.
giously kept the resolution. He is a
