Camping Went.

The past ten days have been glo-
rious ones for camping on Salt riv-
er. There was the wooded dell, the
glistening stream, spreading oaks,
blue grass and chiggers to make
one happy, to give one an appetite
and to cause one to scratch like the
very duce. And fishing the very
best, hearts for bait.
The party was composed of Mr..
and Mrs. Studebaker, John Hardy
and wife, A. C. Boarman and wife

there went back to Monroe City.
While procuring the license at
the court house yesterday after
noon the prospective groom inn
parted the information that he and
his bride hoped to return to Mon
roe City without letting their friends
or relatives know of their wedding
and after remaining at their re-
spective homes for week or so,
leave for the west, where they will
spend the winter at Seattle and in
California. He denied that there
was any parental objection to the
wedding; that it was kept secret
merely for the purpose of surpris-
ing friends at home. Il should like
to have gone some place else for
my license" he said, but as we
were supposed to be in Hannibal at
tending the show we did not have
an opportunity to get a license any
place else other than Quincy and

committed suicide by shooting
himself in the head at the home of
his employer at $50 Sunday morn
ing.
He was in love with Mrs. Bertha
Brawley, a daughter of Rogers, but
she did not return his affection, and
of late he had been drinking consid-
erably. Sunday he asked Mrs
Brawley to marry him and when
she refused he said it would be
the last time. He went to his
room up stairs and sent a bullet
into his head from a revolver he
had borrowed some days before.
He died about three hours later
and the inquest was held last night
by Deputy Coroner Reed.
Millard was about twenty-eight
years of age and his home was at
Monroe City, Mo. Quincy Herald
Mr.. Millard had many friends
and relatives in Indian Creek who
deeply regret his ending.

BABY's WATERY ECZEMA.
ltcF1ed and Scratched Until Blood Ran
$50 Spent on Useless Treatmente
Disease Seemed Incurahle.
Cured by Cuticura for $3.50.

when my little boy was two and .
half months old he broke out on both
cheeks with eczema. It was the itchy,
watery kind and we had to keep his
little hands wrapped up all the time,
and if he would happen to get them
uncovered he would claw his face till
the blood streamed down on his cloth
ing. We called in physician at once,
but he gave an ointment which was SO
severe that my babe would scream
when it was put on. We changed
doctors and medicine until we had
spent fifty dollars or more and baby
was getting worse. I was so worn out
watching and caring for him night and
day that I almost felt sure the disease
was incurable. But finally reading Of
the good results Of the Cuticura Rem
edies, I determined to try them. I
can truthfully say I was more than
surprised, for I bought only dollar
and half's worth of the Cuticura
Remedies (Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Pills), and they did more good than
all my doctors medicines / had tried,
and in fact entirely cured him. His
face is perfectly clear of the least
spot or scar of anything. Mrs. W. M.

WAS IN NO HURRY TO LEAVE
Prisoner Put Coming Gastronomic Joy
Ahead of Brief Period
of Liberty.

A colored man from Georgia had
lived in Washington but a few years
when he was arrested for some slight
violation of the city ordinances. Upon
hearing that the negro was in Jail, the
secretary of the colored Y. NJ. c. A.
secured the services of minister to
go with him and sign the prisoners
bail bond. They reached the jail
shortly before noon, and told the
negro the object of their visit. In re-
Spouse to the proffered kindness he
said:
"Mistah Johnsing, sho is glad you
all is gwine tab git me out, but I
wants you-all to fix it so l can't git
out till late dis evenin'."
Of course the two Samaritans were
somewhat taken aback by this unus-
ua1 request. But moment later they
lost their breath when, in answer to
the secretary's question, the Georgia
negro replied in whisper:
well, sab, dey's a-gittin' dinnah
ready, an dey's cookin' greens; an
sho would like to git some O dem

Office Bows with Bio Ideas.

Washington.-Offic boys in Wash,
ington have the biggest ideas for their
size of any city on earth. Perhaps
their independence is due to the fact
that they are limited in number and
scarcely are discharged before they
are working again, most likely at a
better job than they had before. The
government has a host of them in the
various departments and independent
bureaus and their bosses admit that
they are taxed to their wits ends to
hold their own with the youngsters.
Recently one of the boys of the inter
state commerce commission, who
works in the Office of one of the most
sedate members of that body, went
away on a vacation. Nobody knew
where he had gone until the young
ster sent back a postal card from Nj
agara Falls on which he had scrawled
across the face:

What "Inaptitude" Means.

Neutrality-suspicious. a number of

It was found that the word "inapti-
tude' charged against a midshipman
always cut short his prospective ma
val career. Inquiry was made as to
what "inaptitude" might specifically
mean, as it was rather broad in its
usual acceptance. The report of one
OF the flag officers of the practice
squadron explains it fully. Of one of
the middies who have been dropped
he predicted that this man would
if he remained in the service, cost
the government thousands of dollars.
