SCRATCHED so SHE
 COULD NOT SLEEP

"I write to tell you how thankful I am for the wonderful Cuticura Rem edies. My little niece had eczema for five years and when her mother died I took care of the child. It was all over her face and body, also on her head She scratched so that she could not sleep nights. I used Cuticura Soap to wash her with and then applied Cuticura Ointment. I did not use quite half the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, together with Cuticura Resolyent, when you could see a change and they cured her nicely. Now she is eleven years old and has never been bothered with ec- zema since. My friends think it is just great the way the baby was cured by Cuticura. She was taken with the eczema when two years old She was covered with big sores and her mother had all the best doctors and tried all kinds of ealves and medicines without effect until we used Cuticura Remedies.

OPEN TROLLEY CARS.
Connecticut Company Said to Be Well

Six students of the Middletown High school were suspended for an indefinite period this week by Superintendent Wheatley and President F. A.

There is a large membership locally and rooms are maintained in the Nc Donough block on Main street.
 The local board of education put the ban on secret societies in the high school some year ago, prohibiting membership under penalty of sus pen Eicn or expulsion. Since the rule was passed there has been more or less trouble with societies that have exist cd more or less sub rosa It has been known for some time that there was a chapter of the Theta Sigma fraternity located here, but the fact did not come 10 the attention of the board until re- centlF

American mills, some of 1t to southern
mills, and some to northern mills. The
larger part of the cotton was sent
abroad, and 100000 bales more are to be
exported speedily. leaving about 100000
bales in New York warehouses. The
combination bids fair to control the spot
markets of the world until the new
crop is freely moved, at least. The men
who have in this way secured the con-
troll of spot cotton are r. n. Thompson
of New York, James A. Patten of Chi
cago, Frank P. Hayne and William P.
Brown of New Orleans and Eugene G..
Scales of Texas. These men control to-
day the cotton supply of the world, and
the spinners must look to them for any
cotton they may need in the immediate
future. No previous campaign in the
cotton market showed the sweep and
that has characterized from
March to the present time the Thomp-
movement.

Robert E. Lees Statne At WASHINGTON

The national hall of fame is Statuary
Hall in the capitol at Washington This
hall was formerly used by the House of
Representatives, and when the wings
were added to the capitol the hall was
turned over to the states, each state
being invited to place in it two statues.
Virginia selected George Washington and
Robert e. Lee as the men she desired to
honor in this way, and very naturally
the state instructed the sculptor to pre-
sent the great soldier in his Confederate
uniform. The statues were duly made
and placed in Statuary Hail. and then
protests began to come In from the
Grand Army of the Republic which is
Still fighting the civil war over again at
every opportunity.
The subject was referred by President
Taft to Attorney General Wickersham.
VINO held not only that Virginia had a
right to select the two whom it desired
to honor in Statuary Hall. but as a
matter of taste she did we'll to honor
Robert E. Lee because he typified all
that was best in the Lost Cause, and
he accepted without misgivings the re-
suit of the war.
Not only Virginia, but the administra-
ton approves the statue that has been
placed in Statuary Hail. and there 1t
will remain no doubt to the end of the
republic, and 1t will draw the two Sec
tions together until both stand ready to
honor the memory of the noble soldier
and Christian gentleman.

MILLINER's SLICK SCHEME

From the Philadelphia North American.
Copenhagen-The Politiken relates an
amusing story of how the fashion for
small hats has been established in lit
tie town on the coast of East Jutland.
Some time ago the proprietor of q first
class millinery establishment observed
with alarm that his customers were
abandoning him In order to patronize a
newly opened shop which boosted wom-
ems hats considerably larger than he had
ever kept In stock.
1t was useless for him to advertise his
lesser creations as being more up to date,
and soon all the fashionable women could
be seen wearing the gigantic, headgear
from the firm across the way.
At last he hit on an ingenious method
of winning back his waning reputation.
Through a friend he purchased two dozen
OF the largest hats in the rival shop, and
made a present of them to number of
market women.
These were all highly delighted with
the gift, and the consequence was that
in few days every woman who aimed
at being smartly dressed shrank from
wearing anything on her head which
might liken her to an apple woman
Thus the small hat establishment,
as it has been named, is once more the
resort Of the fashionable, and II is said
THAT 1t will remain so until the market
womens straws fall to pieces.

AN ABNORMAL SPIDER

FROM the Louisville Courier-Journa1
A resident Of Morristown Tenn, ae-
cording to dispatch from that place, has
most unique pet in the shape of a large
black spider, which has developed an ap-
petite for mice. The owner of the spider
is the operator of a broom factory, and
the spider inhabits the factory. There
are mice in the factory-at least there
used to be until the spider began eating
them After several of them had been
shared and their hides had been hung up
to dry the survivors apparently ceased to
enjoy burrowing in broom corn. They left
their happy home to stake out claim in
some locality where spiders grow less tall
and husky.
The factory man. is not troubled with
mice any more, but he is saving his spider
for future service If necessary. Therein
he is making mistake. If this Gargan-
auan spider should rear family of like
physical portions to itself, would not the
last state of the factory man be worse
than the first? Would not the remedy be
worse than the disease? Would not an
army of mice be preferable to horde of
spiders, especially when the spiders are
large, athletic and ferocious? Will it pay
to Danish the little brother of the rat to
make room for the big brother of the tar
antula? These are questions, it is easily
conceivable that would be of some con-
Germ to employees of the broom factory
and also to other persons who had bust.
ness there. The matter would be of some
interest too, to the citizens of Morristown
generally.
Regardless of the performances of the
particular brand of arachnid that tenants
the Morristown broom factory the spider
is not destined to win popular favor as
mouser. Cats and traps and cold poison
are decidedly preferable as methods of
Graduating mice to the double-jointed,
copper-bottomed, iron-jawed spider which
eats EN- alive without the formality of
inviting them to walk into the parlor. If
there is to be any burrowing in the broom
corn let 1t be done by the familiar animals
we have known rather than by freaks
that we do not care to meet on a dark
night. There is no popular demand for a
sort-of spider that is more formidable
than the plain, everyday variety which
persists in building webs where they
ought not to be- but is tolerated because
he can eat house flies three times a day
for six months in succession, without a
balk in his appetite or kink in his d.
gestion. This abnormal spider at Norris
town should be put to death with a broom
handle or a brckbat the first time any
hOdv catches II aslepn
