LEG A MASS OF HUMOR

About seven years ago a small
abrasion appeared on my right leg
Just above my ankle. 1t irritated me
so that l began to scratch it, and it
began to spread until my leg from my
ankle to the knee was one solid scale
like scab. The irritation was always
worse at night and would not allow
me to sleep, or my wife either, and it
was completely undermining our
health. I lost fifty pounds in weight
and Was almost out Of my mind with
pain and Chagrin as no matter where
the irritation came, at work, on the
street or in the presence Of company,
l would have to scratch 1t until l had
the blood running down into my shoe.
l 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-
perience it to know what it is
Il tried all kinds OF doctors and rem
edies but l might as well have thrown
my money down a sewer. They would

with hope only to break out again Just
as bad II not worse. l had given up
hope Of ever being cured when l was
induced by my wife to give the Cuti-
cura Remedies trial After taking
the Cutcura 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-
renee I feel perfectly safe in extend
ing to you my heartfelt thanks for the
good the Cuticura Remedies have done
for me. I shall always recommend
them to my friends. w II. White,

Quaint Table Manners.

Jerome 5. McWade, the Duluth mill
lionaire, talked at dinner about the
delights Of a backwoods vacation.
II go to a quaint backwoods village
every summer" he said, and number
less are the quaint people I meet
there.
old Boucher, for instance, the jan
itor of the village church, is most
amusing with his quaint ways I had
old Boucher to lunch one day, and
the cold lobster was served with a
mayonnaise sauce. When my servant
offered this sauce to Boucher, the old
man stuck his knife in it, took up a
little on the blade, tasted it, then
shook his head and said;
Don't choose none"

Another Tradition Exploded.

Two EngHshmen were resting at the
Red Horse Inn" at Standardization.
One Of them discovered a print pic
turing a low tumbling building under
meath which was printed: The House
in Which Shakespeare Was Born"
Turning to his friend in mild surprise
he pointed to the print His friend ex-
hibited equal surprise, and called a
waiter, who assured them of the ac-
curacy of the inscription.
Pom my word" said the observ-
ing Englishman, shaking his head du-
biously Il thought he was born in a

ELEPHANTS BATHING TANK

Some months ago the management
Of the National Geological park in
Washington decided that the elephants
in captivity needed bath tub and or
dered a huge tank made. After con-
siderable planning and figuring, the
work of excavation was begun for this
monster reservoir. Ton after ton Of
dirt was scooped out until there re-
suited a splendid bath tub 40 feet
wide, slOping gently down to a depth
Of more than Is feet. Around this
was constructed a concrete wall solid
enough to withstand the kicks and
CavOrtings of the strongest elephant.
A strong wooden barrier encloses the
bathtub and effectually prevents the
elephants from rambling off through
the park after they have had their
daily dip. 1t is very interesting to
watch the big animals as they splash
around in the cool water. or stand
idly still and blink their little dark
eyes in perfect content They seem
to be in their perfect element when
deep in the waters. The bottom Of
the bathing tank Is paved with rock
so placed as to keep the big pachy-
derms from slipping. as they surely
would do if they tried to maintain
their balance on a smooth concrete
floor covered with ooze. The manage
ment of the park have felt amply re-
paid for the expense involved in the
construction of the enormous bath
tub, for It vastly improves the health
and temper of the clumsy beasts in
their charge.

In the Desert.

Here is a glimpse Of the horrors of
a western desert taken from the Gold
flId CNevD News: Another desert
victim is reported, and Archie Camp
bell. manager of the Last Chance
mining property, near Death valley
came TO Goldfeld yesterday to en-
deavor to establish the identity of the
unfortunate.
Mr. Campbell encountered the I'M
known man on the desert in a fright
full condition. He was in the last
stages of desert exhaustion. devoid
of clothing, sunburned, blstered and
crazed, with his tongue swollen enor-
mously, a piiable object, and unable
to speak
He was tenderly conveyed to camp
but kind aid came too late, for an
hour after he had absorbed the first
cup of water he expired

The passions that in me burn.
l shout to the skies, but l hear
No answer from man or God.

Said the seer to the poet: Arise
And give to the seas and the skies
The message that in thee burns.
Thrice speak. though the blue sky turns
Deaf ears and the ocean spurns
Thy call. Though men despise
The word that from out thy heart
Flameth. do thou thy part.
Thrice speak 1t aloud, l say.

Whom thou in thy weakness nursed:
With thy strength the faint endue;

In the home of thy spirit be true,
Though the voice of the street cry shame:
Be silent till all is done.
Then return in the light of the sun
And once more sing.

Into music thy soul! Tell the seas
Again all thy thought. Oh. be strong,

When things are a bit more warm.
The trouble that lies In the way Of the

Who'd leave bad habits behind,
Their virtuous sniff is frozen stiff
BY the chill of the winters wind.
The good intent of the righteous bent
Is nipped by the frosty air.
And the new turned leaf soon comes to
grief
And withers beyond repair.
Old Janus bold, with his blasts so cold,
Bites deep on the virtuous nose;
Reform is lost in the awful frost
Tha comes with the month of snow.
'Twere better by much to await the touch
OF a genial May day sun
For putting on ice your favorite vice,
With which you at last are done.

Compared to a good resolve.

And contra bonos mores go
Till the warmer days of spring.
