BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

when our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three Of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
FINALLY got set of the Cuticura
Remedies and I am pleased to say
we did not use all Of them until he
was cured. We have waited a year
and a half to see If it would return
but it never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as 1t possibly could
be. I hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,

Seven poor children, four girls and
three boys, all about ten years old,
went to a nearby seashore resort, in
charge Of two women, for days out
ing. The funds for the picnic were
provided by two boys who sell papers
and who live in one of the two houses
from which the excursion party was
recruited. One of the women in
charge Of the children said that the
boys had arranged the outing "of their
own accord, and the remarkable thing
is this: They are not good boys by
any means and one OF them is prob
ably the naughtiest boy in the neigh
borhood. But we think that when boys
do little things like this they will come
out all right."--New York Tribune.

Our Spiritual sulIdIna.

"See that thou make all
things according to the pattern showed
to thee in the mount Heb. s;5,
The tabernacle which God is build
ing in each Of our lives is just as
heavenly a structure as the other, and
far more important, and is meant to
be, as 1t is, the dwelling place of God.
It, too, has its model in the mount;
and we may see by the eye of faith
the model of our life--the pattern, the
plan of all the graces which we ex-
emplify, and the life which is to be
built up, worked out and established.
All the materials for our spiritual
building are there now, already pro-
vided, and the whole design fully
wrought out In the purpose OF God
and the provisions of his grace. But
we have to take these resources and
materials moment by moment, step
by step, and transfer them into our
lives We have not to make the graces
ourselves, but take them. wear them,
and exhibit them.

FOUR DEAD IN AUTO RACE
Appalling List of Fatalities Attends

Cup on Long Island Track.

New York.-With four dead, almost
a score injured, several mortally, the
sixth Vanderbilt cup race that was
run on Long Island piled up the most
appalling list of casualties that has
attended any similar event in the his

There was not a cheer from the
grand stand when the race finished,
for while the three leaders were tear

dash from every side there came re-
ports of dead and dying, and for two
hours the air had rung with the clang

the real man during these hours, be-

the same thing every day. But the mo-

Nest IN 4uno!e Ebb,ev whIskers.

Nest In "UncIe Ebb's" WhISkers.
Uncle Ebb," an aged man of Poets
Corners, had an unusual experience
recently.
He is known far and wide for his
wonderful long red whiskers; also he
has been termed rip Van Wrinkle"
for no sooner is he seated than he is
asleep.
His favorite haunt is a large tree on
the town pump lot. There he has a
rustic seat, and during the summer
months he can be seen seated and
sleeping.
The other afternoon pedestrians in
passing the pump observed birds fiut-
tering about his head. They went to
him and discovered that the birds had
built a nest in his whiskers A bird
was in the nest and when she was
scared away two tiny eggs were found,
1t is solemnly averred.
"Uncle Ebb" did not discover the
nest until this morning. and he says
that 1t was the prank of boys.--Syra-

Captain Rodgers gave out his state

Rear Admiral Vreeland convened a
court in inquiry to determine the ex-
act cause of the accident and place
the responsibility. A number of the
men who were on board the Inflated
boat told their stories, and a report
of the findings of the court when
completed will be forwarded to the
navy department
Various suggestions as to how the
accident occurred were in circulation
The generally accepted one, however,
was that the barge, heavily loaded
with sailors and marines, returning
from shore leave, was caught in the
heavy swells from a passing steam
boat. Rising for moment like a
cork, the barge then plunged into a
trough between two waves, one OF
which broke over the side and
