naughty that her mother found 1t
necessary to shut her up in a dark
closet-in that family, the direst
punishment for the worst offense.
For Is minutes the door had been
locked without a sound coming from
behind 1t. Not a whimper, not a sniff

At last the stern but anxious parent
unlocked the closet door and peered
into the darkness. She could see
nothing.
What are you doing in there?" she
cried.
And then a little voice piped from

HIS HANDS CRACKED OPEN

Il am a man seventy years old. Ny
hands were very sore and cracked
open on the insides for over a year
with large sores. They would crack
open and bleed, itch, burn and ache
so that l could not sleep and could do
but little work. They were so bad
that l could not dress myself IN the
morning. They would bleed and the
blood dropped on the floCr. l called
on two doctors, but they did me no
good. / could get nothing to do any
good till l got the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. About a year
ago my daughter got a cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and n box of Cuticura
Ointment and in n week from the
time l began to use them my hands
were all healed up and they have not
been a mite sore since. l would not
be without the Cuticura Remedies.
"They also cured a bad sore on the
hand Of one of my neighbours children,
and they think very highly of the Cuti-
cura Remedies. John w. Hasty, So. Eff

Il talk in my monologue about love,
marriage and the other interests Of
the heart. On these subjects women,
especially young women. are strangely
ignorant.
They really make me think, you
know, of the little girl who IA asked
by her teacher:
What can you tell us about Solo

"Solomon,' replied the little girl,

Hotchkiss was listening absently;
Mcknight was whistling under his

unteered, "and the key didn't turn up

found the turkey gobbler trying to

she FASTENED to assure Hotchkiss,
who showed an inclination to drop it.
you don't think he locked the door
himself and threw the key out of the

''The windows are covered with
