my wife had eczema for five or six
years. 1t was on her face and would
come and go. We thought we would
give the Cuticura Remedies a trial. We
did so and she has never had sign Of
eczema for four years. l myself used
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
some time ago for falling hair. l now
have very heavy head of hair. We
used Cuticura Remedies for our baby,
who was nearly bald when young. She
has very nice hair now. She is very

with heat that we would battle her

4 Great Key Collector.

J. H. A. Klauder, a millionaire art
&C nnoisseur of Philadelphia, is one of
the few Americans sufficiently astute to
go in for the collection of old keys
I'm the past said Mr.. Klauder re-
Gently, the finest artists worked on
keys. Count Adolphe de Rothschild has
a key made by Benovenuto Cellini. 1t
is chiselled from a great block of steel,
and represents two splendid grotesque
female figures. 1t has, besides, a num-
Der of superb mask and scroll ornaments.
For this key Count Rothschild paid
$500.
THE best work of the old goldsmiths
and silversmiths is found no less in keys
than in mirrors, cups and salt-cruets.
When the worlds collectors learn this,
| shall be unable to pick up so many
key bargains

while the grocer was telling him how
careful he must be a fly settled on bag
of sugar and the grocer caught it and
threw it away. The boy then said:

"Why?" replied the former.

Catching Deer by Hand.

Catching Deer by Hand.
This red deer" said the keeper, twas
caught by hand"
but a red deer is the feetest of the
fleet"
Right you are, but this FELLOW was
caught by hand, all the same. 1t is a
feat that is often done in the winter, in
the still woods choked with snow. You
see a deer and chase it. Getting CON
fused, it soon deserts the firm deer
paths, or trimmings, and then it is help
less. It founders terribly, up to its neck
in snow.
You hurry toward it. Harder and
harder it struggles, more and more tired
it becomes. In a very little while it is
so exhausted that you can go and take
it up as though it were baby. The
swift, strong, healthy creature is as
weak and helpless as babe"

SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE

Today we have journeyed far,
My heart and /;
Came home at dusk meath a star
II g keen and high.
Inc morn was a blade of steel
Scabbard of white
Bonnie and brave to feel
In FURNISHED light
AS we footed the open road
We sang the sun:
Love was the debt we owed
The day begun.
The hills were abrupt and blue
Castles Of kings,
To be won and wandered through
For precious things.
Noon and the long afternoon
Gladness and hope
and shadow that walked to soon
The westward slope.
So is the wild world won
BY them who roam;
But best of the day that is done
The door of home.

Pity the Broker-He's Often Done.

coat had an astrakan collar, but never
theless he was aggrevied.
This morning, on rising Market y
Plaza to buy 1000 2. d. l.. The mes
sage was signed Goldrox. Of course we
all know Goldrox, the Detroit Millionaire.
So | carried out those instructions, and
late in the afternoon Mr.. Goldrox called
at my office personally to collect his prof
it. His profit, less my commission, was
$47O0."
''WellY
well" growled the broker, sit turns
out that it wasn't GoldrOX at all, but an
impostor. Goldrox is in Europe. If
those stock and had fallen, the impostor
would have left me to bear his loss. They
happened to rise and the man copied a
profit of $4,000 when he hadn't put up a
cent.
Il have made inquiries, and it seems it
is a common thing to swindle us inno-
cent-minded, trustful, confding brokers.
THE best dodge is to copper That is,
a stranger puts up at a fine hotel IN
Cleveland or Dayton, and in the name of
Carnegie, Gould or Rockefeller sends to
two different brokers, telling one to buy
and the other to sell for him. He sends
no money-why should a Carnegie pay
in advance? And, you see, no matter
how the market goes, he is sure OF a
profit from one of the brokers at closing
time.
I'VE brokers are too easy, too trustful.
But. hang it. when we think we see a
chance TO establish relations with a
Gould or Vanderbilt or Rockefeller, are
we to blame for falling all over our
selves in our efforts to oblige?
