Once a social celebrity, with a gorgeous
costume, as one OF the lords in watt
ing, had only four words to say: The
queen has sWooned." AS he stepped
forward, his friends a%pplauded vocifer-
Ously. Bowling his thanks, he faced the
king and said, in a very high pitched
voice, The o. has q~uesned."
There was a road of laughter: but
he waited patiently, and made another
attempt:
Tho sween has cooned.''
Again the walls trembled and the
stage manager said, in a voice which
could be heard all over the house,
"Come off, vol doggoned fool"
But the ambitious amateur refused
surrender, and in a rasping falsetto, as
he was assisted off the stage, he
screamed: THE coon has sweened."
No Rescue.

To rescue her
And that was certainly a shame,
A rescue would have easy been

Was not waist deep.
No youth arrived, although she sank
Some six times more.
And so she left the ocean dank
AND went ashore.

The Aspen Tree

m Ht ~
The little aspen tree stands high
Upon hill that guards the lane;
Her cav are green as emeralds,
Her prattie is like dancing rain;
h gossips to the wind. the sky,
And we are comrades, she and I.
I climb the hill at eventual;
She stands SO high she ma look down
And whisper me If you have turned
The winding highway from the town,
And in the winds arm bend to see
And murmur that you haste to me.
And with her hundred voices tell
Each step you take to reach my side.
And laugh in merry mockery
Pretend to scold, and weep and chide,
And stand a mute in grief
Then laugh with every rustling leaf.
And when at last you take my hands
And call my name in mimicry,
She chatters it a dozen times,
And then. in a and elish glee.
Attuaes her happy leaves to this
The lisping cadence OF a kiss.

Cured by Cuticura.

Cured by Cuttcura.
Words cannot describe the terrible
eczema l suffered with. 1t broke out
OF my head and kept spreading until
it covered by whole body. I was al
most a solid mass Of sores from head
raw beef than a human being. The
pain and agony I endured seemed more
than I could bear. Blood and pus
oozed from the great sore on my scalp,
from under my finger nails, and near
ly all over my body. My ears were SO
crusted and swollen I was afraid they
would break off. Every hair in my
head fell out. l could not sit down,
for my clothes would stick to the raw
and bleeding flesh, making me cry out
from the pain. My family doctor did
all he could, but I got worse and
worse. My condition was awful. 1
did not think 1 could live, and wanted
death to come and end my frightful
sufferings.
"In this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem
edies. I said 1 would, but had no hope
Of recovery. But oh, what blessed re-
lief l experienced after applying Cuti-
cura Ointment. 1t cooled the bleeding
and itching flesh and brought me the
first real sleep l had had in weeks. 1t
was as grateful as ice to a burning
tongue. I would battle with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. I also took Cutl-
cura Resolvent for the blood. In a
short time the sores stopped running,
the flesh began to heal, and 1 knew I
was to get well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in a
short time 1 was completely cured. l

eczema to use C~uticura. Mrs. Vim.

Make Dirt Fly.-Has Contract to Build Six
Miles of Grade

Within a very few days the work
of grading the 500 right-of-way
within the city limits of Bemidji will
be commenced by John Moberg, one
of the successful bidders for con-
tract to grade on the Plummer-M Moose
Lake extension.
Mr.. Moberg states that he has
received all of the grading parapher-
MALTA which he has purchased or
leased with which to grade the six
miles of the right-of. way which he
contracted for, west from Bemidji.
He has steam shovel, twenty.six
cars and other material which has
arrived from the Twin cities and
which will be unloaded at the M. &
I. depot.
Mr.. Moberg states that he re-
quested the Great Northern Rail-
way company to haul the shovel and
other material out on their line a
short distance from the local depot,
but, according to Mr.. Moberg, they
absolutely refused to haul the mater
ial, for any consideration.
1t. will be necessary for Mr..
Moberg to lay temporary track
along the streets of Bemidji and
haul his material over the impro-
vised line to a point some little dis
lance beyond the western limits of
the city.
