Baby Wasted to "a Skeleton,

my little son, when about a year
and a half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. l had a physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts Of
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then l
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end of about a
year and a half of suffering he grew
so bad that l had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing he
flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.
my aunt advised me to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Cut;cura Ointment. 1
sen to a drug store and got a cake Of
Cuticura Soap and a box Of the ONT
ment and followed directions. At the
end OF two months the sores were all
well. He has never had any sores Of
any kind since. l can sincerely say
that only for Cuticura my child would
have died. l used only n CAKE Of
Cuticura Soap and about three boxes
OF Ointment.
Il am a nurse and my profession
brings me into many different fam
lilies n it is always a pleasure for
me to tell my story and recommend

Famous Strong Man Nearly Starved
Seeking job as Model.
I would never say die while there
remained a sculptor unvisited, and in
course of time I knocked at the door
of the atelier of a well known sculp-
tor, Krauk by name, writes Eugene
Sandow in the Strand. He answered
in person. do you want a model?"
I inquired in my best French. His
mon" was mighty, and meant to be
conclusive. Spurred on by despera-
ton, l ratified out some explanation,
but he shook his head, and in his
hurry to return to his work almost
thrust me from the door.
In sadness and with weary steps I
descended the stairs, and the lower 1
got the greater became my anger and
indignation at the treatment l had
received. At the bottom, in the court,
I stood undecided, but bitter. Up
stairs l had seen through the doorway
of h studio that Krauk was working
on a statue endeavoring to model in
clay a Greek god; and there was /,

1t was more than flesh and blood on

get my body in l thrust in my arm,
1t stopped Krauk; for a moment he
was struck dumb.
The next instant he had removed
the chain and pulled me into the
studio, where I stood with his gaze
fixed upon me in profound admiration
of my muscular development, which
held him speechless. Then, his eyes

CHINESE SLAVES ARE FREED.
Compromise Measure Ultimately
Will Liberate Millions.

The Chinese government by impe-
rial rescript has abolished slavery
throughout the empire and has pro-
hibited henceforth the purchase and
sale of human beings under any pre-
text. The reform, however, is not alto
gether complete, as by the re-
script certain forms Of slavery VIII
still be tolerated. In a report made
to the State Department in Washing
ton it is said that the retainers of the
Manchu princes are not emancipated.
but it is forbidden to call them slaves.
They have long enjoyed educational
and other privileges, although still
bound to their hereditary masters.
The household slaves of the Man
| chus are also refused emancipation.
| but their status under the law is i'm
| proved. They are to be regarded as
hired servants, but their services are
due for an unlimited term of years. 50
that they are in reality perpetual
slaves. Under this rescript the prac-
tice of selling children in China in
times of famine is abolished, although
| they may be bound for a specific term,
| but never beyond the age of 25 years.
AC~oncubinage is still to be permitted,
lbut there is to be no bargain n sale.
ASuch c~oncubines are to be married
lWith proper legal formalities, n they
will enjoy the protection of the law,
but in reality they will be no better
than perpetual slaves to the principal
wife.
The rescript is said to be a com
promise measure, but it will eventu-
ally give freedom to millions of human
beings, and is DECLARED to mark a dis
tince advance in civilization.

who held up a train a mile from Phoe-

after a chase across the desert, were
captured. The boys gave their names
as Ernest Woodson, Is years old, and
Oscar Woodson, II, and say they were
raised in Oklahoma City, Okla, and
have been In Arizona only a short
time. The capture of the boys was ac-
complished without any shooting, prob
ably due to the fact that part of the
pursuing posse used an automobile.
The boys were preparing to make
camp five miles south of Casa Grande,
when the automobile came along. The
younger boy, thinking the a con-
tanned tourists, stepped out and. halt
ing the machine, asked for water. The
arrest of both boys followed.
