card saying I am blind The gentle
man took q coin from his pocket and
dropped It into tthe blind beggar's
cup
But the coin was dropped from too
great a height, and 1t bounced out
again. 1t fell and rolled along the
pavement, the beggar In pursuit. Fl

the blind man nshed It out.
The gentlemen said in q stern
voice:
"'Confound you; you are no more

EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH

I'm Dowlais, South Wales, about if
teen years ago, families were strick-
en- wholesale by disease known as
the itch. Believe me, it is the most
terrible disease of its kind that I
know of. as it itches all through your
body and makes your life an inferno.
Sleep is out of the question and you
feel as II a million mosquitoes were
attacking you at the same time.
knew a dozen families that were so
affected.
1.-THE doctors did their best, but
their remedies were Of no avail what
ever. Then the families tried a drug
gist who was noted far and wide for
his remarkable cures. People came
to him from all parts of the country
for treatment, but his medicine made
matters still worse, as a last resort
they were advised by friend to use
the Cuticura Remedies. I am glad to
tell you that after a few days treat
ment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Resolvent, the effect was wonder
full and the result was G perfect cure
In all cases.
81 may add that my three brothers,
three sisters, myself and all our fam
lilies have been users of the Cuticura
Remedies for fifteen years. Thomas

Good Uses to Which the Leftover
Pieces Can Be Put by the
Thrifty Housewife.

The wise housewife knows the value
of leftover pieces of carpet.
When a carpet gets too old for use
and is taken up to be replaced by a
better one, do not give 1t to the rag
man. OF course it is foolish to keep
more stuff Of that sort around than
you can possibly use, but there are
many places where bit Of old car.
pet may be used to advantage.
In kitchen with stone floors 1t
will be a great comfort to the cook to
have little rugs. which may be made
of short strips Of the carpet to use in
the places where she win do any con.
tinuous standing. 1t Is much less tir.
ing to stand on carpet than on either
stone floor or boards, and these
strips, small enough to be shaken
easily, and Of small loss II things
are dropped on them, are practical
saving.

cent mornings. as at home. sitting In
q north room. with the windows wide
open, and the fresh air sweetened by
the sunshine, lifting the curtains and
strolling Ia like q spirit from the bet
ter world. II Is q scene that has more
lovely dreams about 1t than ocean
beach, mountain crest or trip on the
river, for 1t has no anxieties, no fore
bodtngs, no sense OF fading glory. One
doesn't need anything else to make
the experience happy-no friend. or
feast, or book. or glimpse Of sea or
sky-only the tender grace Of the
morning and its soft. cool hand on
his brow. It Is the most beautiful gift
of the year, chalice filled with wine
and honey which makes one forget
his troubles and remember only his
Joys. AND what is 1t called that does
all this? The spirit Of contentment,
the serenest ruler of these warm and
fragrant days. Let us bow to its gen.

be too much, and the best way to

DITCH HEARING IS
GREATLY ENLIVENED
George Roberts Says He is
Being Film famed"
Makes Very Heated Speech Before
The Commissioners Alleging Some
Crookedness.

The usual monotony of ditch
hearing was enlivened this afternoon
during the progress of session on
the II. A. Holverstott ditch in Clari-
don township, when George Roberts
who was assessed $19 for the ditch
protested against the commissioners
allowing 1t. Mr. Roberts addressed
the commissioners and farmers gath
cred for the hearing. He claimed that
he had been treated unfairly and
that landowners had been coerced in
to signing the petition for the ditch
when he already had petition be-
fore the township trustees but had
neglected to file his bond He claim
ed that some one had either delayed
the bond or intercepted it.
Frantically waving his arms in his
anger, Mr.. Roberts turned toward
Commissioner w. II. Holverstott and
charged that he had "bamboozled and
coerced the other commissioners to
taking the action that they did. He
brought up another ditch matter,
that he had been treated un.
fairly and using superlatives to con-
vey his feelings. After making II cer-
tain that no one cound misunderstand
his position, and almost exhausted by
his efforts, Mr.. Roberts wheeled and
marched out of the room
During his impassioned address no
one had ventured TO interrupt him.
The hearing proceeded as quietly aft
er he had gone as before he came in
The commissioners say that Mr.
Oh ha
Holverstott ditch was not continued
more than 1000 feet, the distance
that IL was petitioned for. They say
that in the other matter Mr.. Roberts
was assessed only for the benefits he
received and that II his assessment
was more than that of some of the
others, IL was because he, having
more land, received more benefits.
