SOFT, WHITE HANDS
MAY Be Obtained in One Night.

For preserving the hands as we'll
as for preventing redness, roughness,
and chapping, and imparting that vel
vety softness and whiteness much de-
sired by women Cuticura Soap, assist
ed by C~uticura Ointment, is believed
to be superior to all other skin soaps.
For those who work in corrosive
liquids, or at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, it is invaluable.
Treatment.-Bathe and soak the
hands on retiring in a strong, hot,
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry
and anoint freely with Cuticura Oint-
ment, and in severe cases spread the
Cuticura Ointment on thin pieces Of
old linen or cotton. Wear during the
night old, loose gloves, or a light
bandage of old cotton or linen to pro-
tect the clothing from stain. For red,
rough, and chapped hands, dry, fs-
sured, itching, feverish palms, and
shapeless nails with painful finger
ends, this treatment is most effective.

His Tokens of Farewell.

Among the legends that have gath
cred around Sir Alfred Joles' name
is one to the effect that he was in
the habit of signifying to an office
visitor, by offering him a bahama, that
he desired to end the interview. II
the banana was accepted apd the call
prolonged Sir Alfred rose and pre-
sented his visitor with a fine flower
from one of the glass stands in his
office. But supposing his visitor
stayed after the flower. Well, the
legend continues, Sir Alfred then Of
fered a pass to the West Indies on
one of his mail steamers, with a free
holiday for six weeks at his hotel.
1t is told, however, that on n &C.
aasion Sir Alfred got the worst of the
banana trick. A young reporter
called on him to learn, on behalf OF
his newspaper, something about the
shipping conflict. When, after a ten
seconds conversation regarding the
weather, Sir Alfred's hand was stray
ing toward the banana plate, the re-
porter hooked a couple of bananas out
of his own pocket. In the sweetest
tone of innocence lie said; "Will you
have a banana, Sir Alfred?"-West-

The Dog Question in Nazareth.

Among many incidents of his wan
behring's through Palestine, recounted
by Harry Franck in '"Tramping in
Palestine" in a recent Century, is
this:
"An American who was in Nazareth
long ago. he went on, "told me a
strange story. I did not believe him.
for it cannot be true. He said that
in America people buy dogs!" and
the mere suggestion of 80 ludicrous a
transaction sent the assembled group
into paroxysms of laughter.
They do" 1 replied.
The pompous ex-mayor fell into
such commissions Of merriment that
his rotund face grew the color OF bur
nished copper.
"Buy dogs?" roared his sons in a
chorus of several languages. But
what for?"
Never having settled that question
entirely to my OWN satisfaction, / par
ried it with another: How dc you
get a dog, if you want one?"
"W-w-w-why," answered the eldest
son, wiping the tears from his eyes,
IF any one wants a dog he tells some
! one else, and they give him one. But
whoever wants a dog?"

Diet of the Old.

A sane diet for a person of seventy
or seventy-fve should be made uI
largely of vegetables and fruit, some
fish. some eggs, a little meat and sim
pie cereals. if there is no inclination
toward obesity.
Drinking with ones meals is not
considered advisable, especially as
liquids are apt to wash down the food
before it is properly masticated. two
quarts of water, or more, should be
taken between meals, however. dnr-
ing the day. Hot water is e~specia'fy
good for one who does not exercise
much, as it Pushes out the entire sys-
tenn. Stimulants, such as tea and

Night Riders have been terrorizlng
inhabitants for years, destroying
farming property, laying waste acres
of tobacco land and inf1icting dire
punishment on numerous a
growers who declined to enter the
farmers pool, namely, the Buriey
Tobacco Society.

shows that men have been killed,
women and children shot at, many
have become maniacs and undre
of natives of the Blue Grass state,
unable to find protection in the home
ands. have fed to Ohio, Indiana and
Missouri to escape the vengeance OF
the Night Riders.
For months the lowlands OF Ken
tucky. Ohio and Indiana, so long the
scene of night riderism, have been
secured by special agents from h
Bureau of Investigation of the De-
partment of Justice, collecting data,
which unquestionably will be used
soon against the Burley Tobacco So
ciety. also called the Farmers Trust.
The gathering of information has
been in charge of Special Agent Harry
w. Hoagland, aided by a score OF
other special agents of the Govern
ment. So secretive have been the op-
erations of Mr.. Hoagland and his men
that despite the fact that their work
was started nearly three months ago
it was only a few days ago thai their
presence became known.
The Government is now prepared
to wage a relentless war against the
Farmers Trust. The object is not to
prosecute the farmer, but to SAFE
guard to all the personal liberty CIV
en- by the Constitution.
In addition the Government Will
expose and sbatter the propaganda OF
zone buyer" and lone seller" which
has long gone hand in hand with the
Night Rider terrorism. Hundreds OF
witnesses have been examined in Sc
cret and proceedings will be brought
in the Federal courts of n of the

move will be a bill in equity demand

Poughkeepsie, N. Y.-Sarah O.

in the summer home of Mr. and Mrs.

committed within a few feet OF Polly.
a. little three-year-old daughter or
Mp. and Mrs. Compton, who was
| s1Neping on a cot in the same room.
The murder was done so quietly the
child did not awaken.
When Frank Schermefhorn, a mar
ried man, who is coachman at the
Compton place, learned next after
noon that suspicion was directed
against him, he went to his bedroom
in the coachman's house, wrote a note
to his wife, in which he asserted his
innocence of the crime, darkened the
room, crawled under the bed and cut
his throat with a razor. He was
found under the bed by Chief of Po-
lice Charles J.. McCabe. The chief
went to the coachman's house to get
the man and question him further.
When he entered the darkened room
he heard the trickling of blood, which
was flowing from Schermerhorn's
throat. He spoke, and from beneath
the bed came this gurgling query:
'Is that you, chief?"

come out, because I want you," Nc
Cabe replied.
.I'm not guilty." Schermerhorn
said as he crawled out with great eff
fort, "but l would rather die than go
to JAIL"
Chief McCabe summoned a physi-
clan hastily, in an effort to save the
coachman's life. After the cash in
his throat had been dressed, Scher-
merhorn was rushed to Vassar Hos
pital, this city. Although he is so
weak from the loss of blood he could
scarcely talk, he made a desperate
effort to divert suspicion from him
self to Shtiro Chashi, the Japanese
butler in the Compton household.

The police take nj stock in that
statement, however, and no suspicion
is felt against the butler.
The body of the nurse was discov-
cred by servants who had been
aroused by the intruders. An exam
nation of the house bore evidence
of it's having been ransacked by bur-
glars, although nothing of great value
was missing.
Schermerhorn had been about the
place all day, glibly going over the
incidents attending the finding of the
nurses body after the frightened SER
wants had rung a bell to his house
asking for assistance.

Christman Swope, placed the investi-

author of the crime also inoculated
the entire Swope family of eight per-

to exterminate them. Shortly before

SUICIDE TO ESCAPE
DUTY IN GRAFT CASE
James H. Stevenson a Victim of
Loyalty to Sanderson.
DEATHS FOLLOW SCANDAL
Confidential Bookkeeper on Harris
burg Capitol Knew of All h
Transactions of the Contractors
For the $13,0OO,O 900 Building.

Philadelphia, Pa.-For the fifth
time the death curse which has fol-
lowed the trail of graft in the State
Capitol, costing $13,000,000, marked
a victim when James H. Stevenson,
of Merchantville, N. j., jumped from
a Delaware River ~ferryboat and was
drowned.
His suicide was the result of a reso-
luton he had made never again to
appear in a trial growing out of the
great graft. 1t was also the outcome
of his unfaltering loyalty to James H.
Sanderson, the chief trimmer of
the Capitol building, a loyalty which
remained steadfast ven after his
chief had shown him ingratitude.
For nearly two years he had
evaded the service of a subpoena,
which he knew was sworn out for
him, to testify in the case of the
Commonwealth VS.. Architect Joseph
M. Huston, who planned the palace
of scandal.
Tho subpoena was served a week
before the cay for which the trial
was set. He waited and brooded six
days before taking final action. Two
courses lay before him-to go to Har-
risburg and tells there what he had
learned during the years he was en-
ployed by Sanderson, or
And Stevenson took the other
course and became the fifth of the
victims of the god of greed.
Stevenson was the confidential
bookkeeper of Sanderson. AS such
he was acquainted with the most init
mate details of the transactions of his
chief from the beginning of the
trimming of the Capitol until the
trial.
There seems to have been a strange
fatality touching those who came in
contact with the gigantic graft. Four
others who were more or less directly
connected with the gigantic fraud
preceded Stevenson to their deaths.
The list, to which the name of the
unfortunate young man has beer
added, includes:
George F. Payne, who was the con-
tractor for the 100000 building.
James J. Jeffries, an important wit.
ness, though not accused of guilty
knowledge.
William L. Mathues, the former
State Treasurer, who was under
prison sentence when he died.
John H. Sanderson, the contractor
for the trimming" through whom
Stevenson became drawn into the
circle of the fatal influence.
Besides these, there was Frank
Irvine, who audited the accounts of
the contractors. He became a phys
ical and mental wreck after the ex-
posture of the graft.
James M. Shumaker, whose appeal
for a new trial is now under the con-
sideration of the State Supreme
Court, rs also shattered in health.

Table Mountain.

At Cape Town, in South Africa,
where the traveller usually has the
first glimpse. of the continent, is
Table Mountain, a magnificent nat
ural curiosity, which rises behind the
city to the height of almost 1000
feet, and has a level top about three
square miles in area. Its resem-
blance to a huge table is so marked
that the dense clouds which collect
at times around the summit are re-
ferred to as the tablecloth. A pretty
little flower which is found nowhere
else on earth grows on top, while on
the northern side of it's base is a
similarly rare tree, popularity called
the silver leaf tree.
