Eczema appeared when our baby

which gave us something different
every time. but nothing brought relief.

we have used nothing but Cuticura

MARK TWAlN's RENTED CAT.
Humorlst Furnishes Something for
Scribes to Puzzle Over.

Mark Twain, as is his custom, hides
himself during the summer from the
head hunters. those persons seeking
autographs, photographs, or inter-
views. This year he selected Tuxedo
Park as his retreat, renting an old
colonial house until the latter part of
September, when he returned to his
New York home. There, during the
heated days, Mr.. Clemens wandered
about the country byways or spent
the time in various shady hooks in
his grounds.
A visitor who succeeded in discov-
ering his whereabouts found the great
author in his famous suit of white
flannels, seated under a tree petting
a kitten.
Where did you get it?' queried the
friendly intruder.
For moment there was twinkle
in the aged humorist's eyes; it was
succeeded by solemn look as he re-
piled: 81 rent 1t from a neighbor.

and the members made splendid
showing in their new full dress uni
forms. After the inspection at the ar

around the City Hall, the armory rot
being large enough for this purpose.
The attendance of the members was
excellent. 1t was the first inspec-

brought into the battalion, and there
were only few absentees.
Colonel Stern, or course, makes no
comment upon the appearance or con-

mits his report to the Governor but
the impression prevails that the Blues
made a most creditable showing.
The inspector general is going ahead
rapidly with his annual inspection.
