Jimmie who is very small boy
living in the East end, accompanied
bis mother downtown several days
ago. Nearly everything he saw was
quite new to him, so he was not spar
ing in his comments and opinions and
questions.
Seated opposite Jimmie and his
mother on the car homebound was an
individual who, judging by the "blos-
som" on his nose, had partaken freely
of Joy water. None of Jimmies neigh
bors possessed an appendange that
could compare with the one across the
aisle.
In silence Jimmie took in the. stu
alton and the blossom" His thoughts
must have grown so curious that they
could not be withheld any longer and
he finally blurted out in loud voice:
Mamma, is that Santa Claus?

Embarrassed, Jimmie's mother tried
to silence her son, but it was no use
In an audible whisper the connection
between the man and Santa Claus was
disclosed much to the discontinue OF
the man.

am for the wonderful Cuticura Rem
edies. My little niece had eczema for
five years and when her mother died

over her face and body, also on her
head. She scratched SO that she could
not sleep nights. / used Cuticura
Soap to wash her with and then APP
piled Cuticura Ointment. did not
use quite half the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, together with Cuticura Re
solvent, when you could see change
and they cured her nicely. Now she
is eleven years old and has never been
bothered with eczema since. My
friends think it is just great the way
the baby was cured by Cuticura. l
send you a picture taken when she was
about IS months old.
"She was taken with the eczema
when two years old. She was covered
with big sores and her mother had all
the best doctors and tried all kinds OF
salves and medicines without effect
until we used Cuticura Remedies. Mrs.

There Should.

Fritz the gardener was a stolid Ger
man who was rarely moved to eX-
traordinary language. Even the most
provocative occasions only caused him
to remark mildly on his ill-luck. Not
long ago he came back from the city
in the late evening after hard day
in the market place. He was sleepy
and the train being crowded, the bag
gageman gave him chair in his
roomy car.
Finally the train reached Bloom
field. Fritz still slept as it pulled in
and his friend had to shake him and
tell him where he was.

slowly to his fete. The open door oil

He walked straight out of it.

Judues, Wiqs.

The wig is only worn by English
barristers to give them stern judi
cial appearance, and no one can say
that it fails in this respect. The Gus
tom was originated by a French
Judge in the seventeenth century
when, happening to don marquis
wig one day, he found it gave him
such a stern and dignified appearance
that he decided to get one for himself
and wear it at all times in court
This he did, and the result was Sc
satisfactory from legal point OF
view, that not only judges, but bar
risters, also, took up the custom
throughout Europe.
