"Will you marry me, please?
The man looked up surprised at
the girlish voice. Astonishment
was in his face at the question she
had asked. but he concluded that
he had misunderstood.
"Wha--what did you ask, Miss
pardon me-"
1t was embarrassing to address a
young woman who was entirely I'M

Again he was startled by that
strange question::
"Will you marry me, please?"
The young business man flushed,
dropped his eyes from the soberly
earnest gaze of his visitor, and
then stammered out:
"Why-a-how the dickens did
you get in here anyhow, and what
do you mean by"
He got no further. Happening to
glance at the bewitching face of his
visitor at just that moment, he
couldn't go on. There was some
thing in that face that prohibited
another unkind word. He even
fancied there was something in
those eyes that suggested tears
Her voice shook just a little as she
asked for a third time:

A cold perspiration broke out on
the young mans brow. His fingers
wandered restlessly among the pa

was plain that he was completely
fused" He rested his arms on
the back of his chair and looked
again with puzzled face into the
eyes that were bent so seriously Oh

The girl dropped her eyes. The
pink flush in her cheeks heightened
and she said:
"Oh. | don't care what answer

ITCHING HUMOR /, ON LITTLE BOY
His Hands were Solid Mass, and
 Disease Spread All Over His Body
 -In Four Days the Child was Entirely Cured Mother Strongly
RECOMMENDS CUTICURA
 SOAP AND OINTMENT

cone day we noticed that our little boy was all broken out with itching sores. We first noticed it on his little hands. His hands were not as bad then, and we didn't think anything serious would result. But the next day we heard of the Cuticura Remedies being so good for itching sores, etc., that 1 thought I would get them. By this time the disease had spread all over his body, and his hands were nothing but a solid mass of this itching disease. I went to the drug store and purchased a box of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, and that night I stripped my little boy and took the Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water and washed him well. Then I dried him with a soft bath towel, and took the Cuticura Ointment and rubbed him thoroughly with it. 1 did this every evening before I put him to bed and in three or four nights he was entirely cured. You have my permission to publish this because anybody who suf- fered as my baby did ought to know of the Cuticura Remedies. I will surely and gladly recommend the Cuticura Remedies, for they are godsend to all suffering with skin diseases. Mrs. Frank Donahue, POS Fremont St., kokomo, Ind, Sept. l6, 1907"

4 FINE BASKET.

What is undoubtedly one of the best is not the very best Indian basket ever seen here, was yesterday pur- chased from a Mcdowell Apache Indi- an by Mrs. W. J. Kingsbury. The fact that the basket cost an even hundred dollars is good evidence that it is an excellent one. for Mrs. Kingsbury is judge of baskets and would not pay that much for one unless it was well worth it. The basket is eight feet in circumference. and a little over three feet high. It's design in which Swas- tika crosses predominate, is beauti- ful one and the basket is the finest in it's new owners collection. Nearly a year ago Mir. Brown of Scottsdale got his eye on the basket when it was just started in the process of making. and work has been in constant progress on it ever since. Mrs Kingsbury heard of it at that time and has been pa tiently waiting for its completion. It is beautiful piece of work and an excellent specimen of Indian handi-

Camp was established this year in a new location, some four miles west of town in the vicinity of Wilson's Crossing. Camp was reach ed Thursday evening and Sunday was observed as visitors day. On that day most of the members of the fac ulty and many of the young ladies lent their presence to the camp and enjoyed the novel experience of an army meal. The return trip was made Sunday afternoon and the boys all reached town in good shape and the encampment was voted a flattering success.

THE DEATH OF A eoY.-Ramon

ChaveZa, q fourteen year old boy. died at o'clock on Sunday morning. of pneumonia at the home of his parents in the southwestern part of the city. As the boy had no medical attention, Acting Coroner Johnstone held an in- quest at which it was disclosed that death had resulted from natural causes. The parents of the boy said that he had been sick only since the night before. IL was shown though, that he had been suffering from se- we're cold for several days. and il was concluded that what was believed to be the beginning of the illness, was really the beginning of death.
