The business man stood upright.
The conductor stood unmindfully
on stout wOman's toe, while the
motorman. looking back at the COM
motion, hit a push cart. The police
officer wrote in a note book.
The blond raised both hands in
wood chopping gesture. And
Tom MurchistOn raised that awful
Turks sword and brought it down
kerwhollop-"
The entire audience arose and
groaned, "Aw-w-w-w!" The police
officer stepped over and touched
the blond on the arm.
81 am afraid, madam, 1 will have
to detain you as a Witness
And just then I woke up fin
ished the pretty blond. Then, look
ing at the officer, "Sir?"
"Oh, nothin'," replied the SER
geant. But there ought to be a
muzzling law in this town"
Goodness, look where we are!"
said the blond. The car had stopped
at the barn at the end of the line
Five minutes later the same
crowd boarded No. 332 on the re-
turn trip. Blu this time there was
an ominous silence.

HOW NERO VANQUISHED THE
PIRATES.

The home made raft was floating
nicely ON the little stream, and the
pirate sign, made by dipping a dish
towel In black paint, waved trium-
phantly from the broom handle
mast. Jac-the-Bold and Dead-Shot-
SAaggsy sat in blissful contempla-
zion OF the foes they expected to
rob and vanquish. The foes were
shifting on the bank eating cookies,
and consisted of Anna Ruth, Baby
BETTY and Paul. Paul was to de-
aend the women from the attacks
Of the bold, bad pirates.
1t might all be great fun for the
pirates, but Nero, their big dog,
had been left behind, and he
wanted to be on board the raft, too.
Up and down the bank he raced,
madly barking and yelping, and he
wagged his tail for joy when they
finally landed. He was used to
their sham battles, and always
helped Paul defend the girls.
The pirates had triumphantly
taken the captives, Anna Ruth and
RAby Betty, on their craft and
started away after driving back the
persistent Nero. But where Baby
Betty went, Nero intended to go.
Loo, and unseen by the pirates had
sampered beyond the turn of land
md swan out to meet them. The
pirates saw him too late. It was
hard word to keep their raft up-
right without lodging Nero, who in
his efforts to elm aboard upset the
raft and spilled them all into the
water.
The stream was shallow there.
che their adventure might have
csded seriously. AS 1t was, every
body climbed out none the worse
IN the ducking save wet and
muddy clothes, which a hurried trip
hstHe to mother soon remedied.
A"0 Paul declares he and Baby
Betty and Anna Ruth won the fight,
fT Nero wanquished all the foes.

At Twenty-fourth street two
young women boared the car. They

of heliotrope followed them down

their crinkly skirts.

nodded impressively.
The business man clinched his
palms. The conductor allowed a
woman with four small children, a

three blocks past her destination.

For many years eczema was sup
posed to be blood disease and was
enormously treated as such. but now
the best authorities agree that eczema
is only skin disease. and must be
cured through the skin. The eminent
skin specialist. DR.. d. ID. Dennis. first
discovered the eczema germ, and his
discovery was quickly taken up In
Germany and France.
To kill the eczema germ. and at the
same time heal the skin. DIR. Dennis
compounded oil Of wintergreen. thymol
glycerine. etc. The remedy is liquid.
not mere salve. hence il sinks right
into the pores Of the skin. Washing
with this oil OF wintergreen compound
seems to take away the itch At once;
soon the scales drop away and the dis
ease disappears. The prescription has
now been used so long as to have prov
en- its absolute merit, and we do not
hesitate to express our confidence in
