CURE AT CITY MISSION.
Awful Case Of Scabies-Body a Mass
of Sores from Scratching-Her
Tortures Yield to Cuticura.

"a young woman came to our city
mission in most awful condition physi-
cally. Our doctor examined her and
told us that she had scabies (the itch),
incipient paresis, rheumatism. etc..
brought on from exposure. Her poor
body was mass of sores from scratch
ing and she was not able to retain solid
food. Weworked hard over her for seven
weeks but we could see little improve
ment. One day bought a cake of
Cuticura Soap and bottle of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, and we bathed our
patient we'll and gave her full dose
of the Resolvent. She slept better that
night and the next day l got a box of
Cuticura Ointment. In five weeks this
young woman was able to look for a
position, and sheis now strong and we'll.

The curious effect of slow daily poi.

A lady in Oswego, Mont, expert

upon her eyes in the form of increas-
ing weakness and shooting pains
with wavy, dancing lines of light, so
vivid that nothing else could be seen
for minutes at time.
She says:
This gradual failure of sight
alarmed me and / naturally began a
very earnest quest for the cause.
About this time l was told that cof.
fee poisoning sometimes took that
form, and while l didn't believe that
coffee was the cause of my trouble,
concluded to quit it and see.

off San Nicola, outward bound from
Rosario to London. A true specimen
of the genus tramp was the Juliet.

OF course there were shore days at
Las Palmas and Rosario, but then,
after the men had filled up with rum,
there was no money left for edibles.
What added to the discomfort of the
crew was that the cabin lived well,
and when they saw and shifted
chicken pie, etc., going aft it made
the beef nastier and the biscuit
harder.
At Rosario the skipper had bought
ten turkeys for cabin delectation.

Old Boots Made Valuable.

The Gaulois of Paris has been en-
tertaining its readers with a patent
leather boot story. 1t seems that
every six months each sewer man of
Paris receives a pair of heavy boots.
At the end of the period these articles
are worthless as far as the original
purpose is concerned, but they have
actually increased in value. The old
boots are sold to the leather dressers,
it is said, as the conditions under
which they have been used make the
leather peculiarly adapted for con.
version into patent leather for dress
shoes.

A NEW RECORD IN
RAILROAD BUILDING

The Pacific Coast Extension of the
Chicago, Milwaukee l. st. St. Paul
Railway Reaches Terry, Montana.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railway has just extended
the train service on its new Paci-
fic Coast extension as far west as
Terry, Montana.
Here the new line crosses the
Yellowstone river for the first
time. At present trains are in
operation as tar west as
Marmarth, North Dakota, 191
miles beyond the Missouri river.
This extension carries the new
train service about one hundred
miles farther west.
Tram service between Aber-
deem and Marmarth is daily, ex.
cept Sunday, and between Mar
marth and Terry, daily.
The record of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway,

in the matter of time by any
similar undertaking. Track is
now being laid at the rate OF five
miles per day, and the east and
west track laying forces in Mon.

ty of Miles City. It is confident
ly expected that trains over the
new transcon tinental line will be
operated from Chicago to Butte,

Seattle and Tacoma, Washington,
about one year later.
