WASTED A FORTUNE ON SKIN
TROUBLE

II began to have an itching over my
whole body about seven years ago and
this settled In my limbs, from the knee
to the toes. l went to see great many
physicians, matter which cost me
fortune, and after l noticed that 1 did
not get any relief that way, went for
three years to the hospital. But they
were unable to help me there, 1 used
all the medicines that I could see but
became worse and worse. l had an
Inflammation which made me almost
crazy with pain. When l showed my
foot to my friends they would get
really frightened. l did not know
what to do. | was so sick and had be-
come so nervous that positively lost
all hope.
"T had seen the advertisement of
the Cuticura Remedies a great many
times, but could not make up my mind
to buy them, for l had already used so
many medicines. Finally l did decide
to use the Cuticura Remedies and
tell you that was never so pleased as
when | noticed that, after having used
two sets of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the en-
tire Inflammation had gone. l was
completely cured. l should be only
too glad If people with similar disease
would come to me and find out the
truth. I would only recommend them
to use Cuticura. Mrs. Bertha Sachs,

A LITTLE TOO PRIMITIVE
Shower Bath Arrangement Something
of a Shock to the
Participant.

August Belmont, at dinner in Sara,
toga, praised the seaside towns of
New England
But some of Them" he added. ARE
little too primitive. Il remember a
story about the primitive town of
Rockford. Rockford had rough bath
ing establishment, with shower bath.
You stood in your bathhouse and
pulled a rope and deluge of cool Wa
ter descended from the ceiling.
We'll, lady visitor stood one day
in her bathhouse, ready for the show
err She pulled the rope and braced
herself, but no shower followed. She
gave the rope another tug, when the
gruff voice of the sailor proprietor of
the establishment sounded from aloft.

And the Mortified lady, looking up,
saw the old sailor frowning impa-
tiently through a hole in the ceiling
and fitting barrel of sea water for
the shower.

Mrs. Rrfnus, Speech.

If brevity is the soul of wit, one Of
the wittiest speeches on record was
made by a woman. Mrs. Briggs lived
in the northern part of Indiana, long
distance from any village. Hearing
that the Rev. Mr.. Goodwin was to
preach in a township some twenty
miles distant, she resolved to be pres
ent, and as no other way offered, she
walked the twenty miles.
The pastor heard of this and was
so pleased at the appreciation which
it showed that at the close of the SER
mon he mentioned the fact to the con-
gregation, and called upon Mrs. Briggs
to tell them how she came.
Rising slowly, she looked over the
audience with great solemnity, and
said:
Il hoofed It."
Then she sat down again.-Youth's

and smiled up into the face of the ex-

With gasp of establishment Cap
tain Plum sank back into his chair.
His jaw dropped and his pipe was
held fireless in his hand.
The devil you say.''
oh, certainly, certainly, if you
wish it," chuckled the little man. in
high humor. Il would have visited
your sloop today, Captain Plum, if you
hadn't come ashore so OPPORTUNITY
this morning. Ho, no. no. a good
joke, Ell? A mighty good joke!"
Captain Plum regained his compo-
sure by relighting his pipe. He heard
the chink of gold pieces and when he
looked again the two piles of money
were close to the edge of his side of
the table.
That's for you, Captain Plum.
There's just $1,000 in those two
piles" There was tense earnestness
now in the old mans face and voice.
I've imposed on you" he continued,
speaking as one who had suddenly
thrown off disguise. eff it had been
any other man it would have been
the same. l want help. l want an
honest man. | want a man whom
can trust. l will give you thousand
dollars if you will take a package
back to your vessel with you and will
promise to deliver it as quickly as
you can"
I'll do it," cried Captain Plum. He
jumped to his feet and held out his
,, hand. But the old man slipped from
his chair and darted swiftly out into
the blackness of the adjoining room
AS he came back Captain Plum could
hear his insane chuckling.
Business - business - business -"
he gurgled. "Eh, Captain Plum? Did
you ever take an oath?" He tossed
book on the table. 1t was the Bible.
Captain Plum understood He
reached for the book and held it un-
der his left hand. His right he lifted
above his head while a smile played
about his lips
II suppose you want to place me
under oath to deliver that package"
he said.
The old man nodded. His eyes
cleaned with a feverish glare. A sud-
den hectic flush had gathered in his
death-like cheeks. He trembled. His
voice rose barely above a whisper.
Repeat" he commanded 81, Cap
tain Nathaniel Plum, do solemnly
swear before God"
| A thrilling inspiration shot into
| Captain Plum's brain.
Hold" he cried. He lowered his
hand. With something that was al
most snarl the old man sprang back,
his hands clenched. Il will take this
oath upon one other consideration"
continued Captain Plum. II came to
Beaver Island to see something of the
life and something of the people of
st. James. If you, in turn, will swear
to show me as much as you can to-
night | will take the OATH"
The old man was beside the table

he exclaimed excitedly. I will show

Captain Plum lifted his hand again
and word by word repeated the oath.
When it was done the other took his
place.

A change scarcely perceptible swept
over the old mans face.

But you are a Mormon. You have
the Bible there?"
Again the old man disappeared into
the adjoining room. When he re-
turned he placed two books side by
side and stood them on edge so that
he might clasp both between his bony
fingers. One was the Bible, the other
the Book of the Mormons. In a
cracked, excited voice he repeated the
strenuous oath improvised by Cap
tain Plum.
Now" said Captain Plum, distrib
uting the gold pieces among his peck
cts, I'll take that package"
This time the old man was gone for
several minutes. When he returned
he placed a small package tightly
bound and sealed into his companions

priceless than gold" he whispered
tensely. yet worthless to all but the

has been discovered in the legislation
providing for the reorganization of the

stead OF under the military supervision
which has prevailed for years. AS an i'm
portant element In the reorganization
congress provided for the appointment of

10 discover anywhere in the law any ap-
preparation to pay any such inspectors.
The consequence. probably will be
that the board will have to do without

session OF congress. and in the mean
time will depend on army and navy
officers 10 perform inspection work, the
law contemplating that for period not
exceeding three years, the president may
assign them to such duty.

TREASURE ISLAND
SPIRIT BEARS FRUIT
Son of Lloyd Osborne Digs in
Sand and Brings Forth
Riches.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 17.--When lit
tie Louis Osborne, the son of Lloyd Os-
borne, novelist, and stepson OF the late
Robert Louis Stevenson. armed himself
with his midget shovel and went out on
yesterday. he had visions OF finding a
treasure. This is not an unusual thing
for the lad, for he has not heard his fa-
theirs illustrous stepfather talked about
without getting some of the spirit of ad-
venture of the author Of Treasure ISL
and" fixed In his mind So while Louis
dug ne hummed:
"Sixteen men on a dead mans chest,
Yo. ho. no, and bottle OF rum;
Drink and"
The lad stopped digging becaues his
shovel had encountered an obstruction.
Tested carefully, the thing that resisted
proved to be metal. Then Louis dug more
furiously than ever. In a few moments
he unearthed a metal box. And sure
enough, II contained treasure. Opening
IT hastily the lad found 260o shares OF
valuable mining stocks, deeds TO local
property other valuable papers and sew
eral empty ring boxes,
or course the boy did not realize the
value OF the property but he knew the
papers must be worth a great deal or
they would not have been placed in such
a secure box. So he hastily carried his
find to his mother. who turned the prop
erty over to the police.
The papers belong to Augustus F.
lmbrie, n wealthy man whose house is
closed and who is out OF the city, The
police think robbers ransacked the I'm
brle residence and after taking money
and jewelry from the box, buried It..
In the meantime young Osborne Is de-
veloping into one of the most enthusiastic
