Cams Dry humor.

When the gallant Welsh captain
David Gam was sent forward by
Henry v. to reconnoiter the French
army before the battle Of Agincourt
he found that the enemy outnumbered
the English by about FIVE to one. His
report to the king is historic:
There are enough to be killed,
enough to be taken prisoners and
enough to run away"
This quaint forecast of the result of
the battle at once spread through the
camp, and doubtless every yeoman
archer of the valiant company felt an
inch taller. We know that it was al.
most literally justified by the event.
Poor Cams dry humor was equaled
by his courage. He was killed while

In its present form, it is not less

State OFFICERS
USE ECONOMY
ONLY ABOUT oNE-THIRD OF THE
YEARLY APPROPRIATION
EXPENDED.
LARGE sum LEFT over
SECRETARY OF STATE REQUIRES
THE MOST MONEY FOR IN
cIDENTALS.

Denver.-Figures issued from the
office of the state auditor show that
the various state boards and offices
used up but little more than one-third
of the appropriation set aside for their
Incidental expenses during the fiscal
year just ended. The total amount
expended for incidentals was $23,5l0.-
O6. The appropriation set aside for
such expenses was s65,425.
OF the several departments end
boards the secretary of states Office
heads the list with an expenditure Of
$5.O1S.9S. The smallest item turned
in was that of the travelling library
commissioner, whose incidentals
amounted to only 1884. The labor
commissioner. e. V. Brake, turned in
an incidental account amounting to
$942.62; the incidentals of the free en-
ployment bureau at Pueblo amounted
to s727; and those of the bureau at
Denver to $6Os.7S. and those of the bu-
reau at Colorado Springs to $547.s5,
making a grand total of $2,S26.25 for
the incidental expenses of operating
the labor commissioners department.
The incidental expenses of the gov
ernor's Office were s332.52, and those
of the auditors Office s713.19. Incl
dentals include stationery. ink. office

matters passed on by the auditing

RICHARD WATSON GLIDER.

The unexpected death Of Richard
Watson Glider is more than per-
sonal bereavement to the thousands
in every part Of the land, and in other
lands, to whom he was known affec-
tionately either in person or-even
better-by the revealing personality
of his poetry and other writings. To
his associates of this magazine, who
from the daily contact of many years
knew his rare spirit. his uncompro-
missing scrupulousness, his high stand
ards of personal influence. his large
horizons Of sympathy, his instinct and
habit of usefulness, 1t must always
seem that the noble qualities of the
real man can never be made known
to the world as they are known to us.
To the readers of The Century, in
which for the nearly forty years of its
existence he has been formative and
determinative force and for the last
twenty-eight its responsible and de-
voted editor-in-chief, his death must
be like the loss of friendly voice
from the fireside.-a voice of hope and
OF warning, Of optimistic faith and of
brave encouragement toward worthy
ends.-The Century.

SKIN ROUGH AS BARK.
Baby Boy Had Intense Itching Humor
TSeratehed Till Blood Ran.
Found a Cure in cuticura.

"Our son, two years old, was afflicted
with rash. After he suffered with
the trouble several weeks 1 took him
to the doctor but 1t got worse. The
rash ran together and made large
blisters. The little fellow didn't want
to do anything but scratch and we had
to wrap his hands up to keep him
from tearing the flesh open till the
blood would run. The itching was In
tense. The skin on his back became
hard and rough like the bark of a
tree. He suffered intensely for about
three months. But found remedy
in Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
ment. The result was almost mag
ical. That was more than two years
ago and there has not been the slight
est symptom of it since he was cured.
