SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR

my mother used to have q very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for 1t had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite Of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did 1t no good.
She says. Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scalding OF her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much in debt to Cuti.
cura Soap and Ointment for the fne
head of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy.four.
my own case was an eczema In my
feet. As soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then I thought I would fee to my
mothers friends. Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. did for four or
five winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun

"Now, SIR" said the attorney for

examination, "you testified that you
were handed $1,000 for your vote,
didn't you?"

kind"
"You did. sir, II I understand the

Almost Anything to Please.

An influential woman member Of .
fashionable church in Philadelphia
had gone to her pastor with the COM
plant that she was greatly disturbed
by one Of her neighbors. :.
"Why," said she, that man in tho
pew behind ours destroys all my de-
votional feelings when he tries to
sing. Couldn't you ask him to change
his new?"
The pastor reflected: "Well." said
he at last, II naturally feel a little
delicacy on that score, especially as
I should have to give reason. But
tell you what might do might ask
him to Join the choir."-Brooklyn Life.

CHAPTER Iv-contInued.

They had passed in a semicircle be-
yond the temple and now approached
. squat building constructed Of logs,
which Obadiah had pointed out as the
jail. A glance satisfied Nathaniel that
It was SO situated that an admirable
view Of the proceedings could be OBJ
tanned from the rear Of the structure
IN which Strang had his office. Sew
eral score Of people had already as
sembled about the prison and stood
chatting with that tense interest and
anticipation with which the mob al.
ways awaits public infiiction of the
laws penalties. A third OF them were
women. AS Nathaniel had previously
noted. the feminine part OF the Nor
mon population wore their hair either
In braids down their backs or in thick
curls flowing over their shoulders and
with the exception Of three or four
were attired in skirts that Just con.
cealed their knees. Obadiah halted
his companion close to group of half
dozen Of these women and nudged
him slyly.
Pretty sight. eh. Nat?" he
chuckled. "Ah, the king has a won.
derful eye for beauty, Nat-wonder-
ful eye! He orders that no skirt shall
fall below the female knee. Ho, no,
II he dared. II he quite dared, Natl"
He nudged Nathaniel again with
such enthusiasm that the latter
Jumped as though a knife had been
thrust between his ribs.
BY George. l admire his taste!" he
laughed. The women caught him
staring at them. and one, who was
the youngest and prettiest of the lot,
smiled invitingly.
Tush-the Jezebel!" snapped Ota-
diah. catching the look. That's her
child playing Just beyond"
The young woman tossed her head
and her white teeth cleaned in a
laugh. AS though she had overheard
the old councillors words.
"see her twist her hair" he snarled
venomously as the young woman, still
boldly cycling Nathaniel, played with
the luxuriant curls that glistened in
the sun upon her breast. Ezra Will
ton is so fond Of her that he will take
no other wife. Ugh. Strang Is fool!"
Nathaniel turned away from the
smiling eyes with shrug.
"Why?"
ITO tell our women that 1t helps to
save their souls to wear short skirts
and let their hair hang down. For
every soul Of a woman that 1t saves 1t
sends two men oa the road to hell!"
So intense was the old mans dis.
pleasure and SO ludicrous the twisting
contortions Of his face that Nathaniel
could hardly restrain himself from
bursting into a roar of laughter. Oba.
diah perceived his inclination and
with an angry bob of his head led the
way through to the inner edge of the
waiting circle Of men. Within this
circle, in small open space, was
short post with straps attached to an
arm nailed across 1t, and leaning upon
this post in an attitude of one who
possesses most distinguished office
was young man with three-thonged
whip in his hand. An ominous ST.
lence pervaded the circle, with the ex-
ception Of the hushed whispering of
a number Of women who had forced
themselves into the line of spectators,
bent upon witnessing the sight of
blood as well as hearing the sound of
lashes. Nathaniel noticed that most
Of the women hung in frightened curl
oeity beyond the men.
