EYEsIGHT WAS IN DANGER
From Terrible Eczema-5aby's Head
Mass of Itching Rash and Sores
Disease Cured by Cuteura.

"Our little girl was two months old
when she got rash on her face and
within five days her face and head
were all one sore. We used different
remedies but it got worse instead of
better and we thought she would turn
blind and that her ears would fall off.
She suffered terribly, and would
scratch until the blood came. This
went on until she was five months old,
then I had her under our family doc
tors care, but she continued to grow
worse. He said it was eczema. When
she was seven months old I started
to use the Cuticura Remedies and in
two months our baby was different
girl. You could not see sign Of a
sore and she was as fair as new
born baby. She has not had "a sign Of
the eczema since. Mrs. H. F. Budke,
LeSueur, Mimi, Apr. Is and May 2, '07."

"reminiscences of the Second Days
Battle from "Taies of Trooper"

The historian and the memoirs Of
the commanding general may record
the planning and Winning of military
campaigns, hut the private soldier
prefers to re count his own impressions
and individual experiences. 1t was
my privilege to be trooper of the
Fifteenth Pennsylvania cavalry dur
ing the civil war, with the plain title
, OF Mr." or Jack" so I can only tell
of such incidents as came within my
Gown vision, relating them from the
standpoint of the private soldier. AL
though my diary shows in cold figures
that over four decades have passed
since then, 1t seems only yesterday, so
clearly do the acts and scenes of those
days stand out in my memory.
II was at headquarters at early
dawn on the Goth of September, 1863
the second days battle of Chicka-
manga. The previous days fight was
but a prelude to the titanic conflict of
this day. On the silence of dawn
broke the clear notes of the reveille,
Tousing from slumber many a soldier
ON whose ear that sound would never
fall again.
The escort was encamped at the
headquarters of Gen. Rosecrans at
Glenn's house, and / will here explain
that the Fifteenth Pennsylvania was
our commanding generals household
cavalry its members serving as or
derlies, aids, scouts, and in various
capacities, in addition to the regular
duties of our fighting organization.
Thus thrown in close personal asso-
citation with Gen. Rosecrans, the IA
nous commander of the Army of the
Cumberland, the Fifteenth" grew to
love him for his conspicuous kindli-
ness, his wonderful abilities as a STRAIT

CROWS AS WEATHER PROPHETS
Some That Always Hold Convention
Before a Snowstorm.

Mrs. Eliza Goff of East Hampton,
Conn.,, has way of foretelling a snow
storm. Near the house is a large pas
ture and just before a storm it is the
meeting place of dozens of crows who
appear to come from far and near.
They seem to form circle, while one
or two of the larger and apparently
older crows take charge of the
"meetin'."
These leaders talk long and loud
and occasionally they all join in as
though applauding the remarks of the
wise ones. and after about so much
cawing and Tapping of wings the con-
gregation of black rascals rises and
separates, going to their homes In
various parts of the woods. Just why
they should congregate in this manner
and in this particular lot is not known.
Mrs. Goff has kept an accurate
record and never yet has snow failed
to fall within 12 hours of such meet
ings.

spirit OF sadness came over me, and
gloomy thoughts floated through my
brain-sensations that orten come to
the soldier just before the conflict;
and although l did my best TO shake
off these forebodings, it was a diff
cult task, until we mounted and re-
ceived our various orders. The bat
tie began in good earnest, as Bragg s
army realized that only an overwhelm-
ing and almost continuous assault
could rout the union forces.
Various duties fell to the escort of
our busy general, and events flashed
so rapidly through the Kaleidoscope of
battle that it is impossible to give a
detailed account of the work of our
escort as the members dashed here
and there, carrying orders, or were
sent out on reconnoitering dashes to
keep the commanding general posted as
to how our long line of battle was far
ing. AS l returned from one detail
late in the morning, when Longstreet's
famous assault had been begun with
such far-reaching disaster, later, but
just before the actual big break in our
battle line had taken place, Gen. Rose
Grams sent me with a hurried oral
dispatch to Gen. Thomas, and I re-
member the words of that unwritten
message as IL it stood out In letters
of fire. He said: Orderly, ride to
Gen. Thomas and tell him, with my
compliments, that there are number
of pieces of artillery in front, or left,
of Glenn's house that seem to have no
owner. Ask him if he will take care
of this artillery and tell him to hold
the Chattanooga road at all hazards" !"
After saluting l dashed off, and as
made my way, events happened, as
the reverberations of the heavy firing
all too plainly told.
After hard ride / was able to de-
liver my message, and found Gen.
Thomas sitting on his horse, and al
though he realized he was soon to face
great crisis, he seemed as calm and
self-poised as if those southern hordes
were being driven back, instead Of
toward the heart of the union army.
On all sides our men were to be
seen taking the cartridges from the
boxes of dead comrades to fill their
own. No man could have fathomed
the thoughts of Gen. Thomas at this
moment, but there was a grim look
on his face that bespoke an unfiinch-
ing determination to hold his position,

GOOD AS DRAueHT PROTECTION
Newest Use to Be Made of FIowered
Cretonne.

The newest use for the popular flow
cred cretonne Is in draught pro-
tector. 1t is about half a yard deep
and is used to prevent too great a
draught when the lower sash of win
dow is opened. To make one, take a
strip of the cretonne and strip Of
sateen the width of the window and
sew them together all round, having
first put up an interlining of stout
brown paper. Then edge the whole
thing with pretty cord, making a
loop of the cord at the two top cor
ners. by which the protector is hung
on to two brass hooks in the window
frame.
These draught protectors make cap
ital gifts for men living in rooms or
at college and will be received with
much approval. For this purpose 1t is

will be handy on any and every occa-
sion when the needles themselves are
not actually in use. 1t can be made
in any strong piece of silk, satin or
brocade, or in kid or leather If pre-
ferred. The lining should be of wash
leather in any case, while the straps
which serve to hold the pins in place
should be of elastic firmly stitched at
intervals. 1t is intended that the
flaps should fold over on to the
needles, and the case then rolled up
and tied with the ribbons as shown in
our illustration.

CARE IN WASHING LAcEs.
Precautions VIII Prolong Usefulness
of Dainty Garments.

Colored embroideries should be
washed in suds made of white soap in
moderately warm water. They must
never be boiled nor allowed to lie wet
after washing. Instead, they should be
hung up Immediately to dry in shady
place.
Sunlight will fade the colors, and
boiling or lying in a wet heap will
cause them to run.
An added precaution well worth
adopting is to immerse the piece pre-
vious to washing it in water contain
ing a cupful or two Of vinegar. the OBJ
iect being to neutralize the alkali of
the soap.
Embroidered and lace-trimmed
while but half dry and Immediately
ironed to secure the best result.
Never iron lace with the point of the
wrong side over several layers of
flannel covered with a sheet of old
linen.
Never iron lace with the point of
the iron If you would have it look
like new. Pull and pat it into place.
picking out the loops with hairpin
or pointless darning needle or bodkin.
Dampen 1t with a wet cloth and press
with the reverse iron, using its "hee"
only.
When ironing circular centerpieces
and tablecloths see that the iron
moves with the straight grain of the
cloth. If this method is followed the
circular edge will take its true line.

race now is for connections south to

tribute to an honest man in Office.
Every word said in commentator of
Wade Brown during the campaign
was meant and deserved. That he
was defeated severely is easily trace
ably to revenge of those who resented
his appointment to the Office. Wade
Brown was appointed. not at the
instance of politicians, but at the
Instance of some OF the best men OF
the city of both parties, and an
nouncement Of his appointment was
held up until he could be asked
whether he would accept. He goes
out OF Office with the knowledge OF
work well done. We hope that his
successor will keep up the pace in
well doing Mr.. Brown has set him.

the deposit guaranty and the postal
savings bank, and some of them may
have thought they were making a
choice Of the lesser of two evils, and
would have voted against the postal
savings bank II that question had
been before them simply for accept
ance or rejection.
In this view of the situation. II is
probable that there will be vigorous
opposition to the passage of the act
creating the postal savings bank. The
principal objection to It may be
most clearly stated, by explaining the
value OF the savings institutions OF
today. They collect the savings OF
small depositors and lend them to pro
mote local enterprises, thus keeping
local capital invested at home and
employing the earnings of all classes,
II is feared that small depositors will
patronize the government bank and
the money viii be drained from the
numerous savings banks; and. al
though. proportlonately distributed by
the government among the communi-
ties from which It originated, will be
collected in the larger institutions,
Tess responsive to the diversified in
dustrlal and commercial needs OF the
community than are the savings
banks.
Friends of the postal savings bank
declare that instead of competing
with the savings banks. the postal
bank Will be a feeder of savings banks
and will increase the number of
small depositors. In the first place.
they say the postal will pay only two
per cent, while most savings banks
pay three and four. The postal will
take deposits of small change from
children and poor people, thus culti-
waiting habits of thrift, and when the
government postal deposit has grown
to an amount sufficient to interest
the local savings banks. most deposit
ors will draw out and take advantage
of the higher rate OF interest offered
at home.
Then. too, millions of dollars are
sent out of the country annually by
foreigners. who are used to the gov
eminent banks at home. and are
afraid to trust American banks, the
system of which they cannot under
stand. This money would be kept in
the country by the postal bank and
sent back for use as capital in the
places where II was deposited
The ordinary small depositor of
today probably would make little use
of the government bank. 1t is believed,
for two reasons; he can get better
interest at the local bank, and he
prefers to keep his money in an insti-
tuition where credit Is worth some
thing and he may desire accommoda-
ton.
There are plainly two sides to the
question, and both sides no doubt will
be exclusively discussed before the
measure is introduced.
