Summer rwIllnht.

Adown the hills the shadows drift
The bees come, honey-drunken, home,
The alder bushes yonder lift
Their treasury of blossom foam;
The wind comes whispering to us
song that is too sweet for speech
And roses folding, tremulous
Are holding converse each with each.
One white star blazes In the sky,
The sunset filings its banners far
Until their tintings fade and die
Beneath the luster of the star;
The forest puppies into black,
The stars march up like homing sheen
That to the fold are coming back
And all the world Is now asleep

The Traditional Episode of Little

A diminutive specimen of juvenile
femininity yclept Miss Muffet had

her gustatory organs by ingurgitating
the coagulated portion of bovine lac

terror had taken a position upon the
ottoman or hassock in immediate prox-
unity.
Which totally unexpected incident
aroused her apprehension to such an
extent that she Immediately, not to
say precipitately, arose from her sit

cality, leaving the intruder in undis-

RASH ALL OVER BOYS BODY.
Awful, crusted, Weeping Eczema on
Little Sufferer-A Score Of Treat

Cure Achieved by cutloura.

my little boy had an awful rash all
over his body and the doctor said it
was eczema. 1t was terrible, and used
to water awfully. Any place the water
went it would form another sore and 1t
would become crusted. A score or
more physicians failed utterly and dis
mally in their efforts to remove the
trouble. Then I was told to use the
Cuticura Remedies. l got a cake Of
Cuticura Soap, box of Cuticura oint-
ment and a bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent, and before we had used half
the Resolvent I could see change in

The Rare Gift of Courtesy.

Courtesy includes not merely social
kin lness, graces of speech, absence Of
rudeness, but honorable treatment of
business associates and of all the fell
low citizens with whom a man of af-
fairs may have business to transact.
1t is not American to keep one citi-
zen waiting all day at the door be-
cause he is poor, and to grant an
ether citizen an interview because it
is believed he is rich. Wisdom is not
confined in a purse, and frequently
much wisdom may be learned from a
poor man.

By the faintest, farthest ones
