YOUNG MANS BRIGHT IDEA.
Some People, However, May See Self
ishness in Suggestion.
once, boy

The head of certain Pittsburg
manufacturing concern is an old gen.
tleman who built up his business
from nothing by his own logged and
persistent toll, and who has never felt
that he could spare the time for a va
cation. Not long ago, however, he de-
cided that he was getting along in
years, and that he was entitled to a
rest. Calling his son into the library,
he said:
"Tom, I've worked pretty hard for
quite a while now and have done
pretty well, so 1 have about decided
to retire and turn the business over to
you. What do you say?'
The young man pondered the situa-
ton gravely. Then a bright idea
seemed to strike him. "say, pop" he
suggested, how would it do for you to
work few years longer and then the
two of us retire together ?"-Harper's
Weekly.

DEFENSE or THE BACHELOR.
Baltimore Man Points Out Few
Facts Generally Overlooked.

AS matter of fact, it is obvious
that more crimes are committed by
married men than by single men, for
the simple reason THAT many offenses
exceedingly popular among the former
are entirely impossible to the latter.
One such crime is wife murder. How
could single man murder his wife?
There are IT'S wife murderers in the
United States every year, and all are
committed by married men. Again,
consider the crime of demonicide, or
mother-in-law killing. Its practice is
confined entirely to married men. And
forget not the lesser felonies and mis-
demealors. How could a single man
elope with his wife's sister? How
could he desert his children? How
could he commit bigamy? How could
he flirt with his wife's maid? How
could he be accused of non-support?
What incentive is there for him to
cheat the gas meter, swindle the in
stalment man or rob his brother-in-
law at poker? Being prosperous, we'll
fed and happy-as all bachelors are
why should he steal, forge, embezzle,
burgle or fight?-Baltimore Sun.

REMEDY FOR TORN MATING.
Darn with coiers OF Raffia TO Match
SlsaW.


Often in moving a heavy piece Of
furniture the mating on the floor will
have an ugly hole torn in it. The torn
place Is usually where it is the most
noticeable and cannot be covered with
a. rug. There is an excellent way to
remedy this defect by darning the
place with raff1a Of colors to match the
mating straw. It is much better than
threads and the work can be neatly
done. It may be necessary to run
heaVy cords across the work through
which the raf1a is to be woven. The
threads are sewed il place with a large
darning needle. Torn places on the
edge OF mating can be remedied In
the same manner. 1t is best to sew
mating together with a loose stitch,
using very heavy linen thread for the
purpose, but where this cannot be
done then use the regular mating
tacks or ordinary tacks, placing first
one side, then the opposite side to pre-
vent the baggy appearance which so
often occurs. Never use claw ham,
mer to lift tacks from mating, since It
invariably breaks the straw. Get an
old blunt chisel, place it beneath the
mating and tack head, pound gently
with the hammer and pry the tack up.
This will draw the tack out straight
and leave the mating unbroken. If
mating is used in a room during the
winter, cover the floor with paper COW
ering and pad lightly with newspapers.
The cold air cannot penetrate a floor
covering of that kind,

SUFFERED TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
With Eczema-Her Limb Peeled and
Foot Was Raw-Thought Amputa-
ton Was Necessary-BeIieves
Life Saved by Cuticura.

81 have been treated by doctors for
twenty-five years for bad case of
eczema on my leg. They did their best,
but failed to cure it. My doctor had
advised me to have my leg cut off. At
this time my leg was peeled from the
knee, my foot was like piece of raw
flesh, and 1 had to walk on crutches.
/ bought a set of Cuticura Remedies.
After the first two treatments the
swelling went down, and in two
months my leg was cured and the new
skin came on. The doctor was sur
prised and said that he would use
Cuticura for his own patients. Ihave
now been cured over seven years, and
but for the Cuticura Remedies I
might have lost my life. Mrs. J. B.

In the south, where prohibition has
spread like a tidal wave, the chief
reason has been the determination Of
the whites To suppress negro lawIess-
ness. A majority of the crimes of
violence which have resulted in lynch
ings have been induced by drink, and
1t was argued that If liquor be placed
beyond the reach of the negro it would
be more effective way OF restraining
his brutal and criminal instincts than
any number OF lynchings.
There are now Ave prohibition

Kansas and Oklahoma. In eight states

passed Sunday closing laws IN all the
other states there is some form of

option states the dry territory has

ten years. In the south ais whole 1t

in Kentucky 1t has spread so widely
