ITCHING HUMoR ON BOY
His Hands Were a Solid Mass, and Disease Spread All Over Body -Cured In Days By CutieGra.

One 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. 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 Cuti- cura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, and that night 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.

Frank If Not Complimentary.

Her brother, aged r, had been made captain of high school football team and consequently had become sudden. ly popular with the girls in the neigh. borhood. Because of this the man. ager of skating rink presented broth CT with season pass. Sister, who had attained the tremendous age of 20, was truly flattered when brother asked her. rather than some of the younger belles of his acquaintance, to share the privileges of that skating rink pass. But brothers explanation removed all danger of the immediate growth of sisters vanity. You see," he told her with frank simplicity, I'm not used to skating with girls. I'll practice on you for month or two, and then when I can do it real well III ask some of the other girls

Accor- ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses. swcetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any facilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time.
 It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and it's component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection able substances.

Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof fee even after they know it is doing them harm, is puzzler But it is an easy matter to give it up for good when Postum Food Coffee is properly made and used instead.
 girl writes: Mother had been suffering with nervous headaches for seven weary years, but kept drinking coffee.
 One day I asked her why she did not give up coffee as a cousin of mine had done who had taken to Postum. But Mother was such slave to coffee she thought it would be terrible to give it up.
 Finally, one day, she made the change to Postum, and quickly her headaches disappeared. One morning While she was drinking Postum so freely and with such relish asked for taste.
 That started me on Postum and l now drink it more freely than I did coffee, which never comes into our house now.
 "A girl friend of mine, one day, saw me drinking Postum and asked if 1t was coffee. I told her it was Postum and gave her some to take home, but forgot to tell her how to make it.
 The next day she said she did not see how could drink Postum. found she had made it like ordinary coffee. So l told her how to make it right and gave her a cupful I made, after boiling it fifteen minutes. She said she never drank any coffee that tasted as good, and now coffee is banished from both our homes" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Michigan.

 Town.

Hope, Ark.-John T. Hamilton. city marshal of Hope, was shot and instant ly killed at the Iron Mountain depot here at 5:20 o'clock Wednesday even ing by Will Green, a negro porter, en- ployed at the postoffice. A pursuing party was immediately formed and pursued Green into the country along the Iron Mountain railroad. Green outdistanced the party, however, and escaped.

 Large posses are securing the coun- try around in every direction. Green had little the start of the first body of men who took ID the chase af- ter the crime, but they were unarm- ed. Other posses. afterward organ ized and armed, have a half-hour dis advantage of him ill point of time.
 Marshal Hamilton. when killed. was in the act of placing Green under ar rest on charge of fighting with an other negro several days ago. He and Green were alone in the baggage room at the Iron Mountain railway station at the time. and no one witnessed the shooting.
 People about the station heard three shots, and rushing into the baggage room found Hamilton lying dead with a bullet through his heart Both of the other shots had also taken effect. Green dashed out of the baggage room and ran down the track. There was quite a crowd about the depot, the Cannon Ball" having just passed through. The crowd followed Green, and was joined by others as it ran. Green loaded his weapon, fl calibre revolver, as he ran and by flourishing it kept the pursuers from coming too close. None of the pursuing party were armed.
 Marshal Hamilton's weapon was still in it's holster when his body was picked up. and he had no weapon of any kind in his hand, showing that the negro took him by surprise
 Marshal Hamilton was about 3t years old, and his wife and four chil dren live here. He was serving his second term as marshal

Hopeless Case.

Evangelist Torrey, who brides him. self upon the number of his converts, met one hardened sinner in Chicago whom he failed to convert. The min ister had been preaching to a tent full of people.

One man in the back of the tent had seemed to be much interested He leaned forward to catch every word Tor. rey, taking the interest to mean approaching conversion, redoubled his efforts. "The road to hell is lined with vintage, wine, beautiful women and fine automobiles. he exclaimed. With sigh as of relief, the man in the back of the tent arose.

NO BLESSING FOR HER.
Disappointed Youngster Disseminated
 in His Prayer.

For several weeks, little Ralph had enjoyed the use of a Shetland pony, the property of a horse dealer who was friend of the family. But much to Ralph's sorrow, there came day recently when the pony was sold, and the delightful horseback rides came to a sudden end. The purchaser. as Ralph found out by inquiry. was a little girl of about his own mature age of five. Ever since his acquaint. ance with the pony began, Ralph had included him in his bedtime prayer. and God bless the pony" was an earnest nightly petition. The first evening after the sale of the pony, Ralph hesitated when he reached his pets place in the prayer. Then. after a moments thought, he continued:
 Please. God, bless the pony just the same: but, God, don't you bless the little girl what's got the pony"
