LEG A MASS OF HUM0R

about seven years ago a small
abrasion appeared OF my right leg
Just above my ankle. 1t irritated me
SO that l began to scratch it, and 10
began to spread until my leg from my
ankle to the knee was n solid scale
like a scab. The irritation was always
worse at night and would not allow
me to sleep, or my wife either, and &c
was completely undermining u
health. l lost fifty pounds in weight
and was almost out of my mind with
pain and chagrin az no matter where
the irritation came, at work, on the
street or in the presence Of company,
I would have to scratch 1t until / had
the blood running down into my shoe.
I simply cannot describe my suffer
Ing during those seven years. The
pain, modification, loss Of sleep, both
to myself and wife is simply indie
scribable on paper and one has to ex-
p~erience it to know what 1t Is.
81 tried all kinds of doctors and rem
my money down a sewer. They would
dry up for a little while and fill me
with hope only to break out again just
as bad If not worse. l had given up
hope of ever being cured when l vas
induced by my wife to give the Cuti-
cura Remedies a trial. After taking
the Cuticura Remedies for a little
while l began to see a change, and
after taking a dozen bottles of Cuti-
cura Resolvent in conjunction with
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
ment, the trouble had entirely disap-
peared and my leg was as fine as the
day l was born. Now after a lapse Of
six months with no signs Of a recur-

good the Cuticura Remedies have done
for me. l shall always recommend

the details of the previous night. But
my inquisitive acquaintance had other
intentions. He came up and sat down
beside me. Like the conductor, he had
taken notes of the dead mans be-
longings, his name, address, clothing
and the general circumstances of the
crime. Now with his little notebook
open before him, he prepared to en-
joy the minor sensation of the rob-
berry.

HEALAN,,.. MYRTLES
TO MEET TODAY

This afternoon at half1past four
o'clock a rowing race will take place
between the youngsters of the Hea-
lani and Myrtle boat clubs. The
event is exciting much interest. and
the race should be good close one.
The course will be straightaway
one, and will be one mile in extent.
This will do away with the turn
that always appears to throw one
crew out of the running.
The Myrtles will row in theig
barge Alfred Rogers and the Heala-
mis- will use the barge 'Tealani. II
Is thought that the Ar. Rogers will
not have so much advantage over the
llealani on n straightaway course,
and that the finish between the
beats should be close one.
A silver cup has been put up for
the race, and 1t will be well worth
whining, outside of the glory Of
pulling first past the finishing line.
The crews will line up as follows

Uhlan trotted mile without a wind

day, Aug. r. To those who have
watched and studied the evolution OF
the horse on the stock farms and Oh
the race tracks Of America the full
me aiming of the less.than.twO-minute
trotter comes home with special force.
The big black son of Bingen who did
impossible is almost the perfect pro-
duct of the standard bred that Anne
rican horsemen are so proud of. II
has taken millions of years to develop
Uhlan.
Ancestors Of the Standard BREEDS.
Among the gallant figures of the first
great ancestors of the standard bred
American horse are Justin Morgan
17S9). Messenger G7SS. Denmark
| 1S39), the father of American saddle
horses, and HambletoNian Y. 1S49)
| the foundation sire Of the standard
breds. Back Of them Is the old native
British stock and the horses of Cor
tez, left In Mexico to breed into the
broncho. There Is the great horse Of
the Norman invaders and the splen
Gems in the Crusades, although the
| chances are that he was not as fine
| as those that the average Jersey far
, ner has on his place today. And the
hon sc that the Saracen rode to meet
the Crusader comes in for his part
for II was the injection of his temper
| amental hot food into the cold blood
| OF Brltaln's native horses that pro
duced the thoroughbrea Of which Eng
1
land Is Justly proud.
The evolution of the horse Is story
intimately connected with the story
of the evolution Of man.
| The ancestry of Uhlan, notwith'
standing the gaps that interrupt 1t, Is
| glorious with knightly traditions and
with intimate friendship for mankind
