LITTLE MOTHER.
om the Kansas City Times.

From the Kansas City Times.
 Did you ever have a mother?
 Then no doubt you understand
 Every word of this, my brother, Little mother, I remember--though the time seems far away How each night upon your knee our heads we laid, While, word by word repeating, little prayers we learned to say Ere nestling into bed, all unafraid, Then drowsed while you told wonder tales which made us long to be Good fairies, ever brave, and kind and true Simple memories of childhood all are wondrous dear to me, But the dearest, little mother, are of you. Little mother, remember when as boys we used to stray From the precepts and examples set us, then All your tenderness and patience and tho sweet, forgiving way In which you strove to set us risnr again; Little mother remember all your love and sacrifice, As your thoughtless, wayward children older grew An, my boyhood recollections, they are dear beyond all price, And the dearest, little mother, are of you. Little mother I remember when to man hood we had grown And met trials which we dreamed not of before, You could sweetly enter into all our feel ings-you alone And you proved our gentle comforter, once more; And I know. my little mother, when I reach my dying day And look back the long and winding path to view I will find dear recollections scattered all along the way, But the dearest. mother mine. will be of you!

ing interests in Colum bus, Miss.
He was a most interesting person

PERFECT RECOVERY
Is DUE TO CUTICURA'

"With the exception Of his hands and
feet, my son Clyde (hirteen years old)
was almost completely covered with
eczema. Physicians treated him for
nearly year without helping him any.
While they were very kind and did all in
their power, yet nothing seemed to re-
lieve him. And I had tried many rem
edies sent to me by kind friends but they
all failed. His head, face, and neck were
covered with large scabs which he would
rub until they fell off. Then blood and
matter would run out and that would be
worse. Many a time he looked as if
his ears would drop off. Friends COM
ing to see him said that If he got well he
would be disfigured for life.
"When it seemed as il he could pos
sibly stand it no longer, ! decided to
try Cuticura. [ bought a cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment.
and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. 1
used them in the evening and that was
the first night for nearly a year that he
slept. This may sound exaggerated
to you, but in the morning there was
great change for the better. In about
six weeks you could not have told that
treated him twice a day for six months
and at present he has a fine complexion
and not a scar on his body. This story
may seem overdrawn, but neither words
