When the late Senator Vance was run
ming for Congress he called OIL an old
colored man who had in early life served
the Vance. family. Asked after his
health. the former servant replied,

"Do you believe in the doctrine of cleo
tion?" asked Vance with great solem-
nifty.
"It's the doctrine of the Bible an

"Uncle Ephraim, do you think I've
been elected?' asked Vance again.

They are the finest English regiment.
Every man is over 6 feet, from the
colonel down. and on guard before
Whitehall, with their jackboots, their
snowy ouckskin breaches, their enor-

an imposing sight.

A reputable citizen had left four UNI
brellas to be repaired. At noon he had
luncheon in a restaurant. and as he was
departing he overwhelmingly started
to take an umbrella from a hook near his
hat.
That's mine. sir" SAID a woman at
the next table.
He apologized and went out. When
he was going home in a street car with
his four repaired umbrellas, the woman

Not an Inch or Healthy Skin Lett
My little son, a boy of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but it's treatment did no good. Al
the time l was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was so bad that | had to cut

ment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
Of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass or
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them it used
to take the skin off with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. | began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint-
ment l began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced TO
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but it finally yielded to the
treatment. Now l can say that he is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,

Andrew Carnegie Tells a Funny Story
in San Francisco.

IN San FRANCISCO.
When Andrew Carnegie was in San
Francisco, recently, the Chamber of
Commerce gave a banquet in his honor.
Carnegie added to the good cheer by
telling a story that concerned himself
and Mark Twain.
Mark Twain and | are firm friends"

other-that is. his notes are funny. Just
before | left New York l went to see
him and be told me that he was having
great difficulty in getting any really good
Scotch work
Now. L have some that is eighty years
old. l gave some to President Harri-
son once. He had it with him on his
campaign. | think it had something to
do with the success Of that campaign.
1t is good work so 1 sent some to
Mark. A few days afterward l slipped
on the street and wrenched my knee.
When Clemens read about it, he said:
Poor Carnegie, he ought to have sent me
all that work
HWhen he wrote to thank me for it,
his note was like this: If | had known
what you were going to do when you
stood by my bedside. / would have pre-
scented you with my halo. 1t is a good
halo; it is pure tin and / paid the duty
on it when it came down"

The Overland
The Simplest Car
The Overland outsells all other cars, largely
because of it's matchless simplicity.

The Overwhelmingly more than
two years old-has become the sensa
ton of motordom.
Four factories, employing 1000 men,
turn out 140 Overlands daily to meet
the overwhelming demand.
Texas takes 1900. Kansas 1000,
Iowa 1000, Nebraska 750--all for this
seasons delivery. Sc it is in every
section where this remarkable a has
been known for a year.
One reason is that the Overland is
almost trouble-proof. The usaa; com-
pick features have all been eliminated.
A child can master the car in ten
minutes. A novice can run it and care
for it.
One simply pushes pedals forward
or backward to get On low speed, high
speed or reverse. 1t is as simple as
walking.
The car almost cares fer itself.
Many an owner has run from 1000
to 10000 miles without even cleaning
a spark plug.

Delicious eggplant is prepared by
cutting the raw vegetable up after the
manner of white potatoes that are to

boiling beef fat, sprinkled with salt

When putting down linoleum or oil
cloth have strips of holding nailed
about the linoleum where it comes to
the Dashboard. This prevents dust
from getting underneath and also pre-
serves the edges from moisture under
the floor covering.
Vaseline has quite a number Of do
nestle uses. When the brasses are

them over with vaseline and polish
with a soft duster; but this will save
much work ultimately, as, after this
treatment, they will not readily tarn-
