NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

my little son, boy Of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At
the time l was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was so bad that l had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them 1t used
to take the skin off with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. l began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application Of Cuticura Oint-
ment began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but 1t finally yielded to the
treatment. Now can say that he is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,

A British officer was shooting in
Somaliland. One night, as he lay on
his bed, within his tent, lion made
sudden spring through the rough
fence which had been put up around
the encampment
The lion took no notice of the ami
mails, but went straight to the sports
mans tent and seized the sleeper
fortunately by the hand only,
1t must have been terrible awaken

the lion changed its grip for the mans
shoulder, II got hold of the pillow In

prize. Next morning the pillow was
found in the jungle, at a distance Of
several hundred yards from the en-
campment.

because of his solemn garb, has been
mistaken for a man Of the cloth.
Ascending the platform, he says:
"Men are much like cigars. Often
you cannot tell by the wrapper what
the filler Is. Sometimes q good old
stogy Is more popular than an i'm
ported celebrity. Some men are all
right In the showcase on display, but
are great disappointments when you
get them home. No matter how fine
a man is, eventually he meets his
match. A two-fer often puts on as
many airs as a fifty-center. Some men
never get to the front at all except
during, campaigns. Some are very
fancy outside and are selected for
presents. Others have a rough ex-
terior, but spread cheer and comfort
about them because of what Is inside.
But all men. as all cigars, good or
bad, two-fers, stogies or rich or poor,
