Should an ecclesiastical politician. after 60
ing down into a ;cesspool. be ALLOWED to go
back into the pulpit until after he has been
washed, fumigated and disinfected?
Except the home and the tireside the pull

The great trouble. however with some men
is, they mistake themselves for the pulpit.
And sometimes the wong politician gets in

HAD WEEPING ECZEMA
Face and Neck were Raw terrible itching, Inflammation and Sore ness All Treatments Failed.
cUTICURA A GREAT SUCCESS

"Eczema began over the top of my ear. It cracked and then began to spread. had three different doctors and tried several things, but they did me no good. At last one side of my face and my neck were raw. The water ran out of it so that I had to wear medicated cotton. and it was so inhamed and sore that had to put piece of cloth over my pillow to keep the water from it. and it would stain the cloth a sort of yellow. The eczema itohed so that it seemed as though I could tear my face all to pieces. Then I began to use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and it was not more than three months before it was all healed up. Miss Amp Pear sons, Northfield, Vt., Dec. 19, 1907"

Forsyth of Provi- dence, in command of First district, Coast artillery. of Rhode Island, and who began his military career as a private in the Westerly Rifles in 1872, has resigned, and by recent act of the general assembly will be retired as brigadier general.

He subsequently, became captain of the company and in 1898 was elected lieu tenant colonel of the First regiment, Rhode Island militia.
 Upon the organization of the First Rhode Island United States Volunteer infantry for service in the Spanish war the governor appointed Forsyth a cap tain of volunteers and he was with the regiment during the eleven months service. When the regiment was mus tered out he resumed the duties of lieutenant colonel of the First Rhode Island infantry, R. I. M. and in 1908, upon the retirement of Col. Frank w.

Then the row was started and it was becoming quite general when Police Sergeant Thomas F. Brown was called in. He quelled the disturbance and cleared the meet ing place, suggesting that the warning factions return to their homes, cool off and settle their differences in an order ly way.
 Charles Goldberg declared that he was the rightful president and that it was his duty to remain until his sue cessor had been legally elected. He said he had been assaulted without

 A purchaser of scrap gold from dentists visited Westerly Saturday and attempted sharp practices upon Dr. James Crowley. The stranger said he wanted to buy the gold and Dr. CTUW- ley produced what he had, saying that a gold purchaser had called a week be- fore and offered him $10.11. but the doctor said he declined the offer, as the gold was worth more.
 The stranger examined the gold, weighed it, and then deliberately dumped it into a small bag in which there was other gold scraps and offered the doctor S7SS. The offer was de- clined and Dr Crowley demanded hIs gold or it's true cash equivalent, out the stranger persisted that $7.SS was the value and he would pay no more. The doctor declared he had not sold the gold and referred to the nerve of his visitor, but the gold buyer simply re- piled: You'll take $7.S8 or nothing, and went away. Dr. Crowley called Police Sergeant Brown and the gold man was rounded up at the railway station just before the arrival of a New York.bound train. There was a short consultation and settlement was reached by the payment of $10 to Dr. Crowley, who loses about $S by the transaction.

 MT. Coon's son on returning from a trip Friday afternoon in making a landing. turned the slow down valve quarters off and left the valve in that position. In consequence the boat would only move very slowly. The thieves neglected to detect the position of this valve but tried to get full headway by two other methods, and failing, they probably abandoned the boat before daylight in order to escape detection and arrest. The power boat is eighteen feet in length and valued at S250.
