from any strong wooden box or pack
ing-case, of suitable size, and the lid
may be dispensed with The box
stands on one side and bars of wood
are fixed across the interior in the
manner shown. This is easily done,
the bars of wood are carefully cut to
fit, and nails run through from the out,
side, of the case to hold them in their
places. The heels of the shoes rest
over the upper bars, and the toes on
the lower, much better plan than
placing the shoes on the floor if they
should happen to be damp, as the soles
are exposed to the air and dry much
more quickly than they would on a
shelf or the ground. A curtain made
of some pretty piece Of drapery can
be tackled to the upper edge of the
box, and while hiding the contents
from view, it is easily lifted when any
of the boots or shoes are required.
The sides also may be draped, and a
pot with fern or other ornaments
may find place on the top.

ITCHING HumoR on BOY
HE Hands Were a Solid Mass, and
Disease Spread All Over Body
Cured In 4 Days BY cutlcura.

zone 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 a. 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. BY
this time the disease had spread all
over his body. and his hands were
nothing but solid mass Of this itch
ing disease. I purchased box Of Cut-
cura Soap and one box Of Cuticura
Ointment, and that night I took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water
and washed him well. Then I dried
him and took the Cuticura Ointment
and anointed him with it. did this
every evening and in four nights he
was entirely cured. Mrs. Frank Doh

cHILDREN's WRAPS ARE PLAIN.
Designs Show Much Less Elaboration
Than in Former Years.

New models in children's summer
coats and wraps are decidedly smart
and practical, for plain styles largely
prevail. Among those fashioned from
cloth the designs are simple, and the
heavier white goods, or even sheer
fabrics, show less elaboration than in
former years.
For instance, the jaunty box coat
covering the dress and closing double
breasted is the most popular model
for everyday or general wear, though
the graceful little wraps made on
empire lines are a temptation when in
a child's size.
In materials the light weight
tweeds are favored, and nothing is
smarter than the small black and
white shepherds plaid. Plain cloths
In light weight are also fashioned in
box styles, but as rule this fabric is
reserved for the more dressy coats.
The Sicilians and mohairs, both
plain and checked, will be used during
warm weather. There is nothing at
the price that wears so well, for it
sheds the dust quickly and soils are
easily rubbed or sponged of.

The MIDGET Snakes.

'T see by your paper" says a corre'
spondent, that you want to find man
who can tell a snake story with the
sound Of originality to It. Here it is:
Nearly forty years ago in the woods Of
Indiana l captured three snakes, each
less than three and one-fourth inches
in length, a combined length Of less
than ten inches. a little longer and a
little larger in the middle than an old
fashioned wool darning needle. Al
though these snakes were so small they
would crawl around with their heads
up and dart out their tongues like
larger snakes, l put these reptiles in
an eight ounce bottle, and they had
plenty Of room to crawl around on the
bottom Of It without crowding. These
were not the kind Of snakes generally
seen in bottles, but genuine snakes
Among those who saw them was q
minister of the gospel, and he had moi
been taking anything to make him see
snakes either."-Emporia Gazette.
