JAMIE WASTED NO TIME.
Youthful Philosopher Had Carefully
 Thought Out Situation.

It was Jamie's bath night. He had several each week and he hated them all. On this particular night, once started, he soaked and splashed in the tub for a full half hour, then his mother haled him forth. He came out of the room in his pajamas with his face all streaked and dirty as it was when he went in.
 Mercy" cried his mother. T thought you took bath"
 "So I did!" answered Jamie scorn- fully. "A bully one!"
 But your face is black" said his mother.
 oh" Jamie smiled understand ingly. My face is all right. I have to wash that in the morning, bath or no bath. You don't spose I'm going to waste time bathing my face! always begin just below my ears and work down on my arms and legs; but I always leave my face and hands those ends tend to in the morning."

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

Last year, after having my little girl treated by a very prominent phy- sician for an obstinate case of eczema, I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the al- most instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physicians prescrip- tion and relied entirely on the Cuti- cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Gu ticura Pills. When we commenced with the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely we'll, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble.
 'Tn 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, and in about three weeks his hands and arms healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas, Fairmont, Walden's Ridge Tenn, Oct. 13 1905"

Other chill remedies have sprung up, fiourished for a brief season, then passed away-even from memory but for twenty years Cheatham's Chill Tonic has been in the field of action.

JAIL AMERICAN IN MEXICO.
Engineer Nearly Lynched as Result OF
Fireman's Death.

Henderson, KY, Aug. 9.-The par
ents of Patrick Haffey, locomotive
engineer of this city have received
word that he is in prison at Jiminez,
Mex. Haffey was arrested because
his native fireman fell off train and
was killed. Bitter feeling against
Americans caused mob to form, and
the young man was almost lynched.
The American ambassador has been
appealed to.
Jiminez, Mex, Aug. 9.-Engineer
Haffey was arrested in connection
with the death of a peon who fell
from Haffey's engine. The peon, ac-
companied by fouryear-old child,
was permitted by Haffey's fireman to
ride on the rear of the engine without
the knowledge of the engineer. In
some manner not known the peon fell
from the engine and was killed.
Some of the American employees of
the Mexican Central, feeling that the
evidence did not justify the detention
of the engineer in Jail, suggested that
all the railroad men stop work until
he was released Cooler counsel pre-
vailed however, and it is now be-
lieved that Haffey will soon be re-
leased on bail.

NEW GROUND FOR AUTOMOBILES
They Will Be Permitted in Mount
Rainier National Park.

Washington, Aug. 9-Under regula-
tions issued Wednesday by the sec
retary of the interior, automobiles will
hereafter be permitted in Mount
Rainier national park The order is
the direct result of the recent
visit to western Washington of
Secretary Garfield, who in grant
ing 1t responded to very gen
eral demand. 1t is of somewhat gen
eral Importance as it marks a change
in the management of the national
park, in which automobiles have not
heretofore been permitted to operate
because of the dangerous character of
the road and the timidity of horses
not accustomed to the machines.
The new regulation is in the nature
Of an experiment and is only for a
year. The rules prohibit a speed of
over six miles an hour, except il long
open stretches. If the experiment is
a success it is considered probable
that the innovation will soon extend
to other parks.
