Locked Up az Insane After
Clever Ruse.

Shelbyville, Ind.-Believing that he
could live without eating, that his
mouth had grown shut, and that he
could live 1000 years, caused a SAM

Watkins, and they declared that he
was a person of unsound mind.
Being a friend of Sheriff Buffers,
he was asked to, go to the jan to fix
a lock on one Of the cells. He con-
scented, and as he passed through the
Jail door to the cell the door closed on
him and he will remain there until
papers arrive to take him to the
insane hospital. He was born and
reared here, and for many wears was

BOYS BUTTON DRESS
Custom lnaugurated When One
Husband Injured His Hand.
Messengers Called Upon Frequently In
London Because Gowns Are So
Expensive, Many Women Can
= not Afford to Keep Maids.

London.-To many strange and I'M
usual tasks have the boys of the dis
trict messenger service been put.
They will carry your messages,
guide you across London, look after
school boys and girls crossing town
on their way to or from school, or go
round the world for you-and all in
answer to a simple telephone call.
They are ubiquitous, capable, ready
for anything.
But their latest achievement, and
surely the most unusual, is to act as
ladies' maids.
The other afternoon an excited man
rushed into district messenger Office
Can you send boy at once to lace
up ladys Dress" he asked, appar-
emily in despair and obviously en-
pecting to be net with a scornful re-
fusal.

Later the lady who had been but

viewed. Said the lady:
He was as quick and light fingered

ticularly awkward one to fasten, too,
but In less than a minute he had got
the hooks and eyes to meet, and a
glance at myself in the glass assured
me that was perfectly dressed.
"The boy declared he had never
done a job like this before, but l can
hardly believe it. Afterwards, just
to try him, made him take down
some of my skirts from a cupboard
and fold them ready for packing. He
did 1t beautifully"
The boy, fresh-faced youngster of
about Ia, said he had never done this
particular job before.
"But often we get curious jobs,
which we know very little about" ne
said 1--WE soon get used to using our
brains and fingers on any emergency

Inquiries elucidated the fact that
this is not an isolated instance of q
boy acting as lady's maid.
A lady few days ago, in much the
same circumstances, arranged that a
boy should be at her house at D. m

again at IL p. m. to unbutton her.
The fashion of dresses which but

For six years I was severely

For six years I was severely
troubled with Eczema, located
principally on the shin bones,
caused by a humor in the
blood. The trouble would ap-
pear in the form Of small yellow
blisters, characterized by itch
ing, etc. I tried sarsaparillas,
so-called bio cd puri fl ers,
salves, ointments, lotions and
treatment under a local physi-
clan, but nothing did me any
good. Becoming discouraged
left off all this treatment, and
seeing S. 8. 8. advertised one
day I decided to try it, and after
taking it a short while the
humor was driven from my
blood and was completely and
perman tly cured. Some
