had become with the mere idea OF
playing in the town band, he con-
suited his minister. do you reck-
on | could give up all that time to
music without falling from grace?" he
asked, anxiously.
The good old Methodist had a saV-
Ing sense of humor. He saw that his
parishioner was much distressed be-
tween his wishes and his conscience,
but the minister smiled on him. never
theless.
IT'S the horn you're asked to play.

perience with it, Eben?"
Never tried 1t hut once, but l like
the sound of it first-rate." said the
young man.
Mini" said the minister. We'll, l
think you needn't be afraid of falling
from grace on account of it, but / do
hope you'll manage things so your
family and neighbors won't have to
pass through the fiery temptation OF
hearing you practice too often,

TORTURED SIX MONTHS
BY Terrible Itching Eczema-Baby's
Suffering Was Terrible = Soon
Entirely Cured by Cuticura.

Eczema appeared on my sons face.
We went to doctor who treated him
for three months. Then he was so bad
that his face and head were nothing
but one sore and his ears looked as If
they were going to fall off, so we tried
another doctor for four months, the
baby never getting any better. His
hand and legs had big sores on them
and the poor little fellow suffered so
terribly that he could not sleep. After
he had suffered six months we tried
a set of the Cuticura Remedies and
the first treatment let him sleep and
rest well;' in one week the sores were
gone and in two months he had clear
face. Now he is two years and has
never had eczema again. Mrs. Louis

The Seven Prophest.

"The late Duke of Devonshire," said
a diplomat at a Washington dinner,
kept a stud and took calm and ducal
interest in the races.
"There was a certain sporting paper
that kept large staff of prophets and
always pror:iesied the outcome of i'm
portant races. The duke, for some rea-
son put great reliance in these pro-
phets and their prophesies. He always
read the paper, and he continually re-
commended it to his friends.
But once at Goodwood, at the days
end, a man came up to the duke and
said
What of your paper now? Did you
see it this morning? Six prophets pro-
phesied that six different horses would
win, and here only seven ran, and the
winner was the seventh, which no
prophet had selected. Well, what have
you to say now?"

ONE WISE NEGRO.

Deal jackson Is negro farmer
who lives in Dougherty County,
Ga. His home is located few
miles from the pretty little city Of
Albany, and no man in The com
munity stands higher than he. He
Is respected by all, and Is especially
we'll thought of by his white fellow
citizens.
Jackson has Just marketed the
first bale of cotton in his State, and
the first in his section of the cour-
try, for that matter. This is the
seventh tine he has perfo med this
feat. He takes pride in his farm:
he hustleS to get that first bale on
the market-and he gets it there,
regularly.
Jackson has relied entirely on
his own efforts all OF his life. He
is Independent, and asks no man
odds. His credit is good for what
ever he wants at any store or bank
in Albany. He has never been
known 10 want more than ne might
reasonably be expected to pay for:
that is the keynote of his character.
lie does not concern himself ut all
with politics or politicians. He
hasn't any pull" anywhere, save
such as is legitimateIy due him as
a reward for his honest endeavor.
lie has reduced embarrassing to
an exact science; he knows Just
what the plant will do under given
conditions. He has generally
managed to get his first bale in a
little ahead of his white competi
tors. in spite of all their efforts
indeed, he broke all of his own
previous records this year.
Jackson's great card is attending
To his own business, and doing ii
we'll.
Nobody ever heard of Jackson's
being mixed up in trouble Of any
variety. Business men value his
opinions on things agricultural.
1t Is a pity there are not more
coIored men like Deal jackson. II
there were, there would be no race
problem, real or imaginary. His
example Is uplifting. tits worthy

man, no matter what the color OF
