SEEK TO WIN SOLDIERS.
Russian Girls Risk Lie for the Cause
Of Liberty.

when the university opened last
autumn l started to work again
among the soldiers" said the young
woman. LAS you know, the revolu-
tionists are at present working very
hard to win over the army, and one
of the means is to talk freedom di-
rectly to the soldiers. For this girls
have been found to be more effective
than men; the young peasant soldiers
are more willing to listen to girls,
and are far reader to protect them
from arrest. So all over Russia hun
dreds and hundreds of girls are now
nightly meeting with groups of SOL

barracks. To go into barracks and
talk revolution to the soldiers, hard

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON.
In Torments with Terrible Sores on
Face and Body-Tore at Flesh
Cured by Cuticura.

"My little son, when about year
and a half old began to have sores
come out on his face. They began to
come on his arms, then on other parts
of his body. and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. At the
end of about year and half of suf-
fering he grew SO bad l had to tie his
hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be mere skele
ton and was hardly able to walk. l
sent to the drug store and got cake
of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura
Ointment, and at the end of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since, and only for the Cuticura Rem
edies my precious child would have
died from these terrible sores. I used
only one cake of Soap and about three
boxes of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Shell

A REAL "Hoss" RACE.
Country Fair the Place to See 1t at
Its Best.

II you would see horse strap
ped, booted, braced and geared to
the limit, you must seek such
track as you see at the old-time
country fair. Here comes an awk-
ward fiea-bitten gray which never
went under $50 in his life. He is
hobbled and checked and goggled, and
hitched up sidewise, lengthwise and
crosswise until there is more har-
ness than horse. You wonder how
his driver ever got him into this rig
ging, and how he will get him out
again without cutting him free with
jackknife. A farmer with a
gray beard and twinkling eye OBJ
serves to his neighbor:
Last time John Martin had that
plug out on the road l told him he
had the old cripple overloaded with
ds-to-the-injured. Them straps
that was callated to hoist up his
knees must ha' pulled too tight and

ready for was race for flynn ma

GIVING HIM A CHANCE.
Surely Time for Hubby to Do a Live
ly Sidestep.

Mrs. Wilson's husband was often
obliged to go to New York on bust
ness, and frequently did not reach his
home until the arrival of the midnight
train. Mrs. Wilson had been in the
habit of sleeping peacefully at these
times without fear, but number of
burglaries in the neighborhood during
one of her husbands trips to New
York had disturbed her calm.
On the night of his return Mr.. VIII
son was stealing carefully up the
front stairs, as was his wont on such
occasions, so that his wife would not
be wakened, when he heard her voice,
high and strained:
II don't know whether you are my
husband or burglar" came the ex-
cited tones, but / am going to be on
the safe side and shoot, SO if you are
Henry you'd better get out of the
way."-Youth's Companion.

QUALITIES OF WIT AND HuMoR.
Alike, Yet in Many Ways Fundament-
ally Different.

Wit and humor are such elemental
fundamental things that it has always
been found difficult to analyze them.
says a writer in The Atlantic. Upon
some points. however. those who have
essayed this puzzling task agree, for
they all hold that wit is an intel
lectual, humor an emotional. quality;
that wit is n perception of resem-
blance, and humor perception of
contrast, of discrepancy. of incongru-
ity. The incongruity is that which
arises between the ideal and the fact,
between theory and practice, between
promise and performance; and per-
haps it might be added that it is al
ways or almost always moral in
congruity. In the case both of wit
and humor there is also pleasurable
surprise, gentle shock, which ac-
companies our perception of the hith-
erto unsupported resemblance or in
congruity. A New England farmer
was once describing in the pres
ence of very humane person the
great age and debility of horse that

Saw II Come Out Of a Cow.

A little city boy and his sister Dor
othy were taken to the country for
the first time.
The two children were happy as
the day was long. In the late after
noon they watched the cows come
home, heard with delight the tink-
ling cow-bells, and the little boy
even went in the barns to see the
milking done.
At supper, just as Dorothy was
lifting her glass to her rosy lips, the
boy cried out:
"Oh, Dorothy, don't! You mustn't

RHEUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE SIMPLE HOMEMADE
MIXTURE YOURSELF.
Buy the Ingredients from Any Drug
gist In Your Town and Shake
Them in Bottle to
Mix This.

A well-known authority on Rheu-
matism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription. which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; compound kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll In n bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing n vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, If taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, If any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many socalled Rheumatism remedies
patent medicines, ETC., some of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of even
the small towns elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
will mix the prescription If asked to.

WILLING Hands,

There is a good story going the
rounds in Pittsburg of a young man,
formerly a stock-broker who dropped
many thousands in speculation during
the early spring.
One night, shortly after going to
bed, the Pittsburger was awakened by
strange signs. At his first motion to
jump up he was greeted by a hoarse
voice. IF you stir, you're dead

of Racing in Its Relation TO Horse

not merely gambling game, it is not

simply to improve the breed OF

gambling The questions which Mr..
