An amusing story is being told in
London of the duke and duchess of Con-
naught. A few nights ago they visited a
London theater. They drove in royal
carriages from Buckingham palace, the
duke and duchess being in the first
and Col. Egerton, who was in attend
ance, in the second. The royal coach
man made the extraordinary blunder
OF driving to the gallery entrance, and
the duke and duchess alighting, pro-
ceeded up the stairway, not knowing
they were wrong. They had passed the
ticket office, when the ticket seller
called them back. He did not know who
they were. All he saw was two ner.
sons about to enter the gallery without
tickets. Meanwhile, Col. Egerton. who
had been set down at the proper en-
trance, and had been frantioally rush
ing about in search of them, discovered
the duke and duchess at the timely mo-
ment when the ticket man was also
about to discover them. The duchess
laughed merriiy, when the mistake was
explained, and the duke also took the
hlunder in good part.-Philadelphia

ON THE TURN OF A CARD.
The Singular Manner In Which q
Young Spanish Woman BE-
came q Loyal American.

Two of the boarders at fashionable
uptown hostelry are pretty Spanish
woman and prosperous young Phila-
delphia business man. Several months
ago, or before the destruction of the
Maine made the situation between this
country and Spain serious one, the
two became engaged, and, to their cred
it be il said the. affair was love match
pure and simple. Well, when the war
began the young business man was in
continual hot water. He is patriotic to
the core, and yet he thinks there is no
girl in the world equal to his fiancee.
She, despite ner promise to become an
Americans wife, is as Spanish in her
sentiments as she could possibly be,
and she has not hesitated to speak right
out in meeting.
Finally things became so warm that
the young fellow could stand it no
longer, and he told his fiancee so. She
received the news gravely at first, and
then laughed: "Ill tell you what let's
do" she said. "You love the United
States and love Spain. But we both
love each other better than either of us
loves our country. Have you got pack
OF cards?' The young man, just a lit
tie bit bewildered over the queer turn
affairs had taken, hunted up some
cards. "Now," continued the young
woman. I'm going to deal until I
turn up jack. If you get it you give
up your American sentiments for nv
sake. If | get it, I'll give up my love Of
Spain for your sake. Will you agree p,
The young man demurred at first, but
finally catching roguish CLEAN in his
fiancee's eye, consented. The cards
were dealt, and 10! the first Jack fell
to the young woman. "Henceforth I
am an Americana" she exclaimed.

and those who know her say that since

can be.

TINY BABY'S PlTIFUL CASE

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first 1t seemed to be a few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the un.
derneath skin red as though 1t were
scalds. Then few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared heavy scab a
quarter Of an inch thick. II was aw.
full to see so small a baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then We decided to try Cuticura.
BY using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and It came of. I'm.

by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,

three days you could see the baby
gaining little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is a fine
