There was a seconds indecision with

s%cornfully. "Of course, it was the

You said it was brass pipes, you will

Sol told the story; l had told 1t so

without interruption. When l had

Welt" he said. That's something
OF a mess, isn't it? If you can only
prove your mild and childlike dispo-
sition, they couldn't hold you for the

that's different. They are not burned,

my own thoughts so closely that l
started. Miss West is not home yet
from Seal Harbor."
Receiving no response, he lapsed
again into thoughtful silence. Mrs.
Klopton came in just as the clock
struck one, and made preparation for
the night by putting a large gaudy
comfortable into an arm chair in the
dressing room, with a smaller, stiff
backed chair for her feet. She was
wonderfully attired in a dressing gown
that was reminiscent, in parts, of all
the ones she had given me for a half
dozen Christmases, and she had a pur-
pie veil wrapped around her head, to
hide heaven knows what deficiency.
She examined the empty gg-no
glass, inquired what the evening paper
had said about the weather, and then
stalked into the dressing room, and
rreparmed, with much ostentatious
ereaking, to sit up all night.
We fell silent again, while Nc

Mrs. E. w. Stevens and Miss
Mabel Stevens were taken COM
pletely by surprise last evening
when fifty members of the
Christian church walked in and
surprised them while they were

luncheon was served. Mrs. Frank
Walker, Mrs. Harry Brown and
Mrs. Stuart assisted in serving.
1t was a late hour when all de-

everyone wished them the

WHY SALVES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA.

Scientists are now agreed
that the eczema germs are
lodged not in the outer skin or
epidermis, but in the inner
skin. Hence, a penetrating
liquid is required, not an out
ward salve that clogs the pores.
We recomend to all eczema
patients the standard prescript-
ion Oil of Wintergreen as COM
pounded in liquid form known
as D. D. D. Prescription. A
trial bottle of this D. D. D.
Prescription, at only 25 cents,
will instantly reli eve the itch.
We have sold and recommends
ed this remedy for years, and
know of wonderful cures from
its use. We recommend it to
our patrons. Robt. w. Harvey

Resorcin is one of the latest
and most effective germ-killers
discovered by science, and in
connection with Beta Naphthol,
also a powerful antiseptic, a
combination is formed which
destroys the germs which rob
the hair of it's nutriment, and
thus creates a clean and healthy
condition Of the scalp, which
prevents the development of
new germs.
Pilocarpine is a we'll known
agent for restoring the hair to
its natural color, where the loss
of color has been due to a dis
ease. Yet it is not a coloring
matter or dye.
The famous Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic is chiefly composed of
Resorcin, Beta Napthol and
Pilocarpine, combined with
pure alcohol because of its
cleansing ard antiseptic quail
ties. 1t makes the scalp heal

there were no "trunk lines"
only short eastern roads.
Electricity has been applied for
lighting homes and cities and
for manifold mechanical uses.
The telegraph, telephone and

his day. During the almost
nine decades of his life the
United States has made more
progress than in all it's previous

deeply interested.
When the war of the rebell-

the brave men of Harrison
county willing to leave
their homes and families to de-
fend their country and its
honor, Sisking health, wounds
and even death for it's sake.
He gave three long years of
his maphood's strength and
energy for the defence of the
Union. He took part in three
of the great battles of the war,
Shiloh, Corinth and Vicksburg.
He endured the shock and pain
of a severe wound and lay for
months in Southern prisons.

Strengthening out tangled ac-
