directly in front of him. Suddenly
the gun exploded and the ball struck
his relative in the head, MORALLY
wounding him. He assisted him to a
reclining posture, hid the revolver in
a box and ran for aid. He had hid

knew nothing about the shooting at
the inquest because he was afraid.

its workings Jumping suddenly to

VIOLATING SANITARY LAW.

That Ely when made clean must
stay clean or someone suffer. is the
ultimatum of City Marshal Hudgens.
People who have heretofore been
compelled to clean up their premises
by the city government, or who have
had their premises cleaned for them
at an expense of several hundred dol
lars to the city have already begun
to go back to their slovenly ways, he
declares. Il want to give everyone

TORTURED SIX MONTHS
BY Terrible Itching Eczema-Baby's
Suffering Was Terrible - Soon
Entirely Cured by Cuticura.

Eczema appeared on my sons face.
We went to a doctor who treated him
for three months. Then he was so bad
that his face and head were nothing
but one sore and his ears looked as if
they were going to fall off, so we tried
another doctor for four months, the
baby never getting any better. His
hand and legs had big sores on them
and the poor little fellow suffered so
terribly that he could not sleep. After
he had suffered six months we tried
a set of the Cuticura Remedies and
the first treatment let him sleep and
rest well; in one week the sores were
gone and in two months he had clear
face. Now he is two years and has
never had eczema again. Mrs. Louis

optimist and Pessimist.

Sydney Resented once wrote a com
edy, entitled The Optimist," which
achieved success after the production,
but was a long time reaching the
stage. Manager after manager refused
the manuscript, and one day Mr..
Resented, whose patience was ex-
hausted, blurted out to his sole au-
ditor:
"Of course you don't appreciate the
play! You don't even know the
meaning of it's name."
Yes, I do" protested the i'm
presario.
Well insisted Rosenfeld,, what's
the difference between an optimist
and a pessimist?"
The manager barely hesitated: AN
optimist is an eye DOCTOR" he said;
"a pessimist is foot doctor."--Sun-

There is a certain couple who de-
cided to separate awhile ago. 1t
seemed that they were not afinities,
after all, and life together was unen-
durable, so the wife packed up her be-
longings and was preparing for trip
home. At the time of parting she
picked up their little pet dog and
tucked him under her arm, while her
other managed the suit case

ined-looking stranger, who effusively
claimed her as a friend. II really
don't believe you remember mel" she
exclaimed, reproachfully, and the old
lady, never doubling that her memory
was at fault, confessed that she could
not quite recall the name. "Ah. but !
have changed it since you knew me"
said her interlocutor, gayly, and after
few more lively speeches she passed
on, having possessed herself mean
while of the, old lady's purse.
