And Just After Its Mistress Had Made
 Neat "BluH."

Young Hankinson (making calD- You have had that parrot long time, Miss Laura.
 Miss Laura-Yes, we have had him several years.
 Young Hankinson-Quite intelligent, is he not?
 Miss Laura-Very. Can initiate al most anything.
 Young Hankinson-They have @ re- markably clever parrot over at the Casterlins', Miss Laura. It can imi- tate the sound of a kiss to perfection. Is that among the accomplishments of our feathered friend here in the cor her?
 Miss Laura Gndignantly)-No sir. He does not attempt an imitation of a sound he is not accustomed to hear, MT. Hankinson. Of that I can assure you.

BOY KEPT SCRATCHING.
Eczema Lasted Years-Face Was All RaW-Skin Specialists Failed, But
 Cuticura Effected Cure.

"When my little boy was six weeks old an eruption broke out on his face. l took him to a doctor, but his face kept on getting worse until it got so bad that no one could look at him. His whole face was one crust and must have been very painful. He scratched day and night until his face was raw Then l took him to all the best specialists in skin diseases but they could not do much for him. The eczema got on his arms and legs and we could not get a nights sleep in months. got a set of Cuticura Reme- dies and he felt relieved the first time l used them. I gave the Cuticura Remedies a good trial and gradually the eczema healed all up. He is now seven years old and think the trou- ble will never return. Mrs. John G. klumpp, 80 Niagara St., Newark, N.

BY THEIR FRUITS.
Co-ODeratOr::

Ou-OpeIdlOF.
 We judge tree by its fruits. This is scriptural and therefore it is the very essence of truth and good sense. If a man points out to you a peach or an apple tree in your orchard and tells you the tree is worthless; that it will not bear good fruit nor much Of a yield, but if year by year that tree goes on budding and blooming in season and at the right time bringing forth rich, luscious peaches or mellow delicious apples, as the case may be, you will wisely judge the tree by it's fruits and not by what this man has told you, or listen to similar tales from other people. In other words, be just to the tree and judge it by what it shows for itself, not by what people say.

You Would Not Accept Counterfeit Money, Why Accept Counterfeit
 leo

Good money is made by the Govern ment in which you have implicit faith and confidence. Good goods are made by manufacturers who are willing to stake their regulations on the quality of the material offered to you through the medium of their advertisements in this paper. Counterfeit goods are not advertised. The reason for it is they will not bear the close scrutiny to which genuine advertised goods are subjected. Counterfeit money pays more profit to the counterfeiter Coun- terfeit goods are offered to you for the same reason.
 Insist on the Genuine-Reject the Counterfeit.

Countinq a Billion.

Speaking of counting the hairs of your head-suppose you undertook to count a billion, how long do you think it would take you to do it? A billion, according to the French notation, which we follow, is a thousand mil lions. If you had before you pile of silver dollars containing a million, and could count one every second, for eight hours every day. it would take you 35 days to complete the task. But suppose you undertook to count a thousand of those million-dollar piles you would be at work eight hours a day for 95,000 days, or about 100 years

How He Got Rid of Rats.

A farmer describes his method of clearing the premises of rats in the following manner: "On a large num- Der of old shingles I put half-tea- spoonful of treacle each, and on that with my pocket knife I scraped small amount of concentrated lye. I then placed the old shingles around under the stable floors and under the cribs. The next morning I found 40 dead rats, and the rest left the farm for parts unknown. I have cleared many farms of the pests in the same way, and have never known it to fail"

With the modern skyscraping office building has come a new form of building scaffold. Instead of construct ing the scaffold from below, which is impossible in the cases of buildings ranging from 10 to 50 stories high, platforms are suspended from the steel girders above. On these swing ing platforms the bricklayers work and the scaffold is raised as the work ogresses-System.

JNo. CRACKER vs. JNo. cRAKoRE.
A Little Story With a Moral for Every
 Union Man.

John Cracker and his wife lived in 8 one-story, unpainted house, standing in the middle of a cotton field. Not a tree surrounded the house, not a bit of green grass. His mules lived in a log hovel, through which the winter winds howled, and they ate cottonseed hulls for lack of hay, and whatever corn could be spared John had some scrub cattle out in the cane brakes all winter, but not COW to give them milk; and all winter and most of the rest of the year the only vegetables that appeared on their table were col lards, field peas and sweet potatoes, and their only bread was corn-dodgers with fat Western bacon for grease.
 John plowed all his land every year for cotton, except little piece of bot tom land that went in corn every year,

EXPLOSION WRECKS HOUSE.
Wonderful Escape of Occupants in
Baltimore Accident,

BALTIMORE. November 3-With
roar and crash like a charge of dyna-
mite being ignited. the steam-heating
boiler in the apartment house at the
northwest corner of Fulton and Edmond
night and practically wrecked the inte-
rior of the house. None of the occupants
was injured but one young lady who
was passing by at the time of the acct
dent was slightly cut by flying glass and
she had her injury dressed at a nearby
drug store.
The occupants of the house were:
Wadsworth Nash and family, first-f1oor
apartment; Richard Nally and family.
second-foor apartment; Herman Rathman
and family, third-1oor apartment
A branch office of Archer's laundry oc-
cupied the store in the front of the
building, but this had been closed for
the night and the clerk had left.
Following the explosion, which could be
heard for several blocks, the streets inn
me0ately became crowded with people.
The occupants of the house made a hasty
exit, greatly excited but unhurt.
The boiler was located in the basement
directly under the dining ROOM and when
it blew up it carried away the entire floor
of the dining room and also the floor OF
the room overhead on the second floor.
while the ceiling of this latter room was
also damaged and covered with water
from the boiler.
When questioned as to the probable
cause of the accident Building Inspector
Preston said he could not fully tell until
of the wrecked boiler. He was of the
opinion, however. that there was a lack
of water in the boiler and, becoming over
heated it had exploded.

MAGNESS SOON TO KNOW FATE
NAVY DESERTER CALLED BE-
FORE COURT-MARTIAL.

PHILADELPHIA. November 3.-Charles
of the eldest daughter of the late Senator
German of Maryland, was summoned -be-
fore a court-martial at the Philadelphia
navy yard yesterday to answer the charge
of desertion from the gunboat Dolphin
nearly two months ago.
The case was postponed to give the
lawyer whom Mrs. Magness has employed
time to prepare his case. The trial may
take place tomorrow.
The plea Of the defense, it is said, will
be that Magness left his home in Balti-
more on a Saturday afternoon and went
to Washington. where he applied to a
clerk In the Navy Department for a blank
upon which to apply for his release from
The navy. which he desired to purchase
The clerk told him. it Is alleged, that it
was too late to obtain a blank on that
day and that he would have to apply on
Monday.
Magness had already overstayed his
leave nine days and by waiting until Mon
day would have passed the ten-day limit,
which constitutes desertion. He therefore
threw scruples to the winds and want on
his wedding trip. After a week
honeymoon he was arrested in Louisville
through information furnished by Geor-
gianna Happier. a Baltimore girl. who de-
clared that Magness had Tilted her for
Ada German.
Magness was brought to the receiving
ship Lancaster at the Philadelphia navy
yard Monday of last week to await court
martial. Since then Mrs. Magness has
visited him three times. her last visi. be-
ing Sunday. 1t Is said that her influence
has FASTENED the sitting of the court
martial.
AS soon as prisoner is received at the
navy yard an account of his offense is
forwarded to the department, which
then returns to the navy yard two specifi-
cations of the crime with which the pris-
Oner Is charged. One. Is given to him and
the other to the court-martial.
Owing to the size of the PHILADELPHIA
navy yard it has a permanent board Of
court-martial, so that when Magness' in
dictment. together with five other indict-
ments, was returned yesterday 1t began
to sit at once. The maximum penalty
which can be inflicted upon Magness Is
two and half years. Extenuating cir
cumstances may greatly lessen this.
The members of the court-mar tial are
Chief Engineer Albert G.. Engard, presi-
dent: Capt. of Marines John G. Muir.
judge advocate; Maj Philip Bannon.
Lieut.. Harry NJ. Jacoby. Paymaster Magii
r. GoldsbOrough and Past Assistant Pay
