Leg Mass of Itching Humor.
About seven years ago a small
abrasion appeared on my right leg
just above my ANKLE 1t irritated me
so that | began to scratch it and 1t
began to spread until my leg from my
ankle to the knee was one slid scale
like a scab. The Irritation was always
worse at night and would rot allow
me to sleep, or my wife either, and
it was completely undermining our
health lost fifty pounds in weight
and was almost out of my mind with
pain and chagrin as no matter where
the irritation came, at work, on the
street or in the presence of company,
| would have to scratch it until | had
the blood running down into my shoe,
| simply cannot describe my suffer
ing during those seven years. The
pain, modification, loss of sleep, both
to myse and wife is simply indescrib-
able on paper and one has to eX-
perience it to know what it is.
Il tried all kinds of doctors and
remedies but | might as we'll have
thrown my money down sewer.
They would dry up for a little while
and fill me with hope only to break
out again just as bad if not worse.

After taking the Cutcura Remedies
for little while | began to see Il

ties of Cuticura Resolyent, in conjunc-
ton with the Cuticura Soap and Cuti-
cura Ointment, the trouble had en-
tirely disappeared and my leg was as
fine as the day was born Now after

foreign country; LADY" is one of the
boats you have burned behind you.
This is partly the workers own
fault-they have been too conserva-
tive in their choice of work; they
have not done the things they are
suited for, but have tried to suit
themselves to the things that are
suitable-an unnecessary mistake,
for by undertaking work at all they
lost prestige with a certain section;
and the others, having accepted wom-
ans right to work, were prepared to
see her do it.
Unfortunately she deemed it neces-
sary to take it by easy stages. thereby
building up a tariff for herself which
now she finds almost impossible to
break down. If she wishes to be a
domestic she must prefix lady" if
she stoops to wheel perambulator
she must not aspire to drive car
riage; if she decides to serve in a
restaurant she must be prepared for
criticism; if she wants to manage a
laundry she has to ask herself, DO
ladies do it,"

claim to the title; while the lady

per, and ruins her health playing the

time the term lady" were dropped
altogether, if it is to be perpetual
hindrance to woman and work.
1t is for the lady to prove that the
work belongs to her, not she to the
work; that the work is named after
the person who does it, not vice versa.
Instead of "lady's work" it should be

CLEAR-HEAnED
Head Bookkeeper Must Be Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper in a large
business house in one of our great
Western cities speaks of the harm cof-
fee did for him:
My wife and drank our first cup
of Postum little over two years ago,
and we have used 1t ever since, to the
entire exclusion Of tea and coffee. 1t
happened in this way:
About three and half years ago
| had an attack of pneumonia, which
left a memento in the shape of dys-
pepsia, or, rather. to speak more cor
rectly, neuralgia of the stomach My
cup of cheer had always been cofIet
or tea, but ] became convinced, after
a time, that they aggravated my stom-
ach trouble. | happened to mention
the matter to my grocer one day and
he suggested that | give Postum
trial.
Next day it came. but the cook
made the mistake of not boiling it
sufficiently, and we did not like it
much. This was, however, soon rem
edied, and now we like it so much
that we will never change back. Pos
tum, being food beverage instead OF
a drug, has been the means of curing
my stomach trouble, l verify believe,
for / am well man to-day and have
used no other remedy.
My work as chief bookkeeper in
our Co.'S branch house here is of a
very combining nature. During my
coffee-drinking days | was subject to
nervousness and the blues in addi
ton to my sick spells. These have
left me since began using Postum,
and | can conscientiously recommend
1t to those whose work confines them
to long hours of severe mental exer-
ton"

A RIFLE AND A SLEEPING
SWITCHMAN.

Paddy Flynn, who is now an engi-
B. G. n. w, was a fireman four years
ago, and owes his promotion in part
and a very fine diamond pin entirely
to his quick and most remarkable
action in time of extreme danger. He
is a remarkable rife shot, holding
several cups and medals for his PROV
ess as a marksman at county and
State shooting matches On the prin-
ciple that as he was running out of
Omaha he might at any time be called
upon to look at the barrel end Of
rifle, Paddy always carried his favor
tie firearm with him. He was never
called upon to use it against bandits;
but this popularity of his was Of
good service in one emergency.
One Sunday afternoon, when it was
already almost dark, at four-thirty
o'clock, Paddy climbed into the cab
of No. 4, then the fast mail train be-
tween Omaha and Lincoln, which had
right of way and was supposed to
have all switches locked for it. With
inseparable weapon.
About fifteen miles of the journey
had been made, and the express was
going into station where it was
scheduled o pass slow local which
had taken the siding. Glancing in
stinctively at the switch, the engineer
was Mortified to find that it was still
G. i hat
was every chance of terrible rear
end collision, which, with both trains
full of passengers, must involve great
loss of life At the switch. his head
between his hands and his red lam
tern in front of him, was the rear
brakeman, who had evidently gone to
sleep while waiting for the express,
forgetting to throw back the switch
for the main line.
The engineer reduced his speed as
much as possible and turned to speak
to Paddy At that moment rife
shot rang out and the red lantern
was shattered to fragments. The
brakeman awoke to see the oncoming
headlight, and quick as thought threw
the switch to the proper side. He
had no time to lock it; but he held it
for the minute while the express
passed.
Such remarkable presence of mind
attracted the attention of the chief
officials of the company, ard the pre-
sentation of the pin was the result of
a report by the engineer. When
Paddy was congratulated oil his quick
wit he griEned and said:
'YoG see. gentleman, the boys al
ways did be havin' the laugh on me
because l toted my gun in the cab;
but I always told EN- I'd have the
laugh on them some day. Besides, it
was an easy mark. and as turned the
same trick ten years ago | knew it
was a cinch unless the boy at the
switch lost his head. " - New York
