I wonder what kind of joke their par ents were trying to perpetrate on those helpless mortals. Doe as . surname was bad enough without adding to the onense by tacking on John and Jane.

John Doe did not smile.
 "You don't believe it. he said. hut unfortunately it is true. I am the ia nous Doe.'

LIFE OF 4 PIMPLE
Disappear Overnight Without Trouble

The dispensers of poslam, a new skin discovery. ask that notice be given that no one is urged to purchase it without first obtaining an experimental pack age. Those who have tried 1t will f1no khat the fifty-cent box, on sale at Jen- hie Hamilton's Pharmacy and all drug stores. is sufficient to cure the worst eases Of eczema, where the surface Affected is not too large. The itching ceases on first application. It will also cure acne. letter, blotches, scaly pcalp. hives, barber's and every other form of itch. including itching feet. Being flesh-colored and containing no grease, the presence of poslan on ex- posed surfaces. such as the face ana hands. is not perceptible. Water and boap cannot be used in connection with It, as these irritate and prolong skin troubles. sometimes even causing them.
 As to the experimental package of poslam. 1t can be had free of charge by mail of the Emergency Laborator- les. 32 West Twenty-fifth Street, New York. It alone is sufficient to clear the complexion overnight, and to rid the face of pimples in twenty-four hours.

The Moor and His Horss.

The horsemastership of the Moors is primitive and entirely successful. A Moor never walks when he can ride and never by any chance gets off to ease his beast. How a Moorish pony would have chuckled at the weary walks enforced on tired men by well meaning cavalry colonels in South Af- rica! He would have said to himself: 'T don't think much of animals that can't carry fifteen stone fifteen hours a day. I must be a really superior kind of beast" The Moorish {and Goumier) horse always spends his nights in the open. He is never groomed or clip ped. His youth Is passed wandering untended over the vast fields. When in work he gets all the barley he wants at night and a drink before his feed in the evening. From 2 a. ID. to T p. ID. he expects to work and to work hard without bite or sup. His saddle is a wooden tree superimposed on at least half a dozen folded blankets, the thickness of which often reaches six inches.. and he never gets a sore back. London Spectator.

PLEAS FOR NEWSGIRLS.
Bills Restricting Their Work Are
 Opposed.

Opposed.
 Hartford, April 2-The education committee spent yesterday afternoon on several bills concerning the employ ment. of school children.
 John F. Gunshanan was in favor of the newsgirl. and opposed to legisla- ztion restricting her rights.
 Miss Mary Hall of the Good Will Club said that she had devoted a great deal of time to this matter. She re- membered the first newsgirl to appear on the streets of Hartford. who was her friend. and this girl has grown u7 to be fine woman. She never knew of newsRirl going astray in the moral sense of the word.
 . Ex-Congressman Lewis Sperry said that it is far better for the girls to be F on the street with a chance to earn a little something. and they were far better of than when playing in some of the back yards. They bring a little money into the family and 1t helps.
 W. O. Burr. editor of the Times" read a list of cities in which girls were allowed to sell papers. If this matter is to be regulated. he said. it should be done by the individual cites as conditions differ in different places. Lawyer Joseph l.. Barbour said that there was no law prohibiting boys and girls being on the street. but this pro- posed measure was to prohibit them from being busy on the street He epoke of the injustice of licensing the boys and making. their. parents liable to fine for violations of the law.

Washington. June 11-Apprecia-
ton of good will and congratulations
of the American people were yester-
day extended to Wilbur and OrVille
Wright, American aviators, by the
president of the United States. The
occasion was the presentation of the
gold medals awarded to the Wright
brothers by the Aero club Of Amer
lea TO commemorate the conquest Of
the air. In the presence Of distin-
guished statesmen, foreign diplomats,
members of the cabinet, noted sCient-
lists and prominent aerOnauts and ayi-
atOrs, the two inventors of the first
successful flying machine heavier
than air, received the first public re-
cognitiOn of their achievements from
their cOuntTymen.
President Taft, in presenting the
medals 10 the brothers, expressed
keen. admiration for their work and
ventured the belief that their flying
machine will be the basis for future
aerial craft, and made the prophecy
that the dawn of the age Of flight is
here. The Wrights were introduced
to the president by Representative
Parsons of New York, who paid a
glowing tribute to their personal
qualifications. A. Holland Forbes,
winner of the recent national balloon
race and acting president of the Aero
club of America, turned the medals
over to the president on behalf Of the
Aero club.
Miss Catherine Wright, sister of
the aeroplanists, accompanied her
brothers and was quite as much lion
lied. After President TAFT had con
graduated the Wright brothers in
dividually, he turned to Miss Wright
and said, "And I want to congratulate
the most important member of the
family"
Preceding the presentation at the
white house, luncheon was given
the Wrights and the visiting members
of the Aero club of America by the
Aero club of Washington
The day was one of celebration in
honor of the Wrights from the time
they arrived early in the morning I'M

TURKEY BOUND TO
PRESERVE ORDER

St. Petersburg, June 13.-The i'm
pOrtant district of Urumiah, in north
western Persia. seems about to fall
into Turkish possession, unless strong
measures are taken to check the
Trukish aggression. Russia has sup
ported the Persian representations to
the porte with reference TO this mat
ter. but without result. the porte re-
plying that Turkey, like Russia at
Tabriz, is merely interfering to pre-
serve order.
According to the latest Russian ad-
vices. the Turks, while refraining
from occupying the city except with
consular guards. have thrown large
force of regulars and Kurd irregulars
into the surrounding districts. The
girdle extends along the shores of the
lake above and below the city. which
is completely isolated from the land
side. and a detachment is stationed
on the road from Tabriz. with the evi-
dent intention of disputing Russian
advance from that city.
