BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

when our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what 1t was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally I got y set of the Cuticura
Remedies and am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited year
and a half to see if it would return
but it never has and to-day his skin
Is clear and fair as it possibly could
be. / hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,

Iove'R Crime.

Geerge was manly fellow, yet, sur
prising as it may seem, he was guilty
of a grave charge, criminal offense-
theft, for had he not many times,
stolen kisses from his fair sweet
heart?
Maude, one of the most lovable of
girls, was equally guilty as an acces-
sorry; she received the stolen property,
Each seemed to have perfect conf
dence in the other, however, and when
sentence was pronounced by proper
ly qualified official, they decided to
serve their time together.
They remained loyal to the end,
neither making any effort to have
their sentence abrogated or shortened,
but during the course of their long
term together several small offenses
were directly chargeable to them.-J.

rim Of beach and stretched himself
unIii ni5 ariu zones cracked.
Again the hidden head shot forth
and Captain Plum would certainly
have been startled. For it was a weird
object, this spying head: it's face dead
white against the dense green of the
verdure, with shocks of long white
hair hanging down on each side, fra
ming between them pair of eyes that
cleaned from cavernous sockets, like
black glowing beads. There was un-
mistakable fear, tense anxiety in
those glittering eyes as Captain Plum
walked toward the paper, but when
he paused and stretched himself, the
sole of his boot carelessly trampling
the discarded letter. the head disap-
peared again and there came another
satisfied bird-like chuckle from the
gloom of the thicket.
Captain Plum now put on his coat,
buttoned it close to conceal the weap-
ons in his belt, and walked along the
narrow water-run that crept like a

the island wilderness. No sooner had
he disappeared than the bushes and
vines behind the rock were torn asun-
der and man wormed his way
through them. For an instant he
paused, listening for returning foot
steps, and then with startling agility
darted to the beach and seized the
crumpled letter.
The person who for the greater part
of the afternoon had been spying upon
Captain Plum from the security of
the thicket was to all appearances a
very small and very old man, though
there was something about him that
seemed to belle a first guess at his
age. His face was emaciated; his hair
was white and hung in struggling
masses on his shoulders; his
hooked nose bore apparently the
infallible stamp of extreme age.
Yet there was strange and un-
canny strength and quickness in
his movements. There was no stoop
to his shoulders. His head was set
squarely. His eyes were as keen as
steel. 1t would have been impossible
to have told whether he was fifty or
seventy. Eagerly he smoothed out
the abused missive and evidently sue

ceeded even in the failing light in de-
ciphering much of it, for the glimmer
of a smile flashed over his thin fea-
lures as he thrust the paper into his
pocket.
Without a moments hesitation he
set out on the trial of Captain Plum.
A quarter of mile down the path he
overlook the object of his pursuit
"Ah, how do you do, sir?" he greet
ed as the younger man turned about
upon hearing his approach. "A mighty
fast pace you're setting for an old
man, sir!" He broke into a laugh
that was not altogether unpleasant,
and boldly held out a hand. We've
been expecting you, but-not in this
way. ] hope there's nothing wrong?"
Captain Plum had accepted the
| proffered hand. Its GOODNESS and the
singular appearance of the old man
who had come like an apparition
chilled him. In a moment, however, it
occurred to him that he was victim
CT mistaken identity. AS far as he
knew there was no one on Beaver
island who was expecting him. To
the best of his knowledge he was a
fool for being there. His crew aboard
the sloop had agreed upon that point
with extreme vehemence and to man
had attempted to dissuade him from
the mad project upon which he was
launching himself among the Morn.ons
in their island stronghold. All this
came to him while the little old man
was looking up into his face, chuck
ling, and shaking his hand as if he
were one of the most important and
most greatly to be desired personages
in the world.
Hope there's nothing wrong,
Cap'n?" he repeated
Right as a trivet here, dad" re-
piled the young man, dropping the
cold hand that still persisted in cling
ing to his own. But l guess you've
got the wrong party. Who's expecting
me?"
The old mans face wrinkled itself

"Ho no, ho!-of course you're not
expected. Anyway, you're not ex-
pected to be expected! Cautious-a

do. Strang should appreciate it." The
old man gave vent to his own approba-
ton in a series of inimitable chuckles.
lis that your sloop out there?" he i'll
quired interestedly.
Something in the strangeness of the
situation began to interest Captain
Plum. He had planned little adven-
ture of his own, but here was one that
promised TO develop into something
more exciting. He nodded his head.

The organ oflthe local Democratic
ring thinks It is peculiar that neither
Senator Scott nor any OF his friends
has denied published differences that
he has literally. swamped the state
with money thatAwas used for polit-
ical corruption and bribery"
There is nothing peculiar about
that. The charges sby inference
are too ridiculously silly to demand
the serious consideration of intelli-
gent persons, Who takes any stock
in such rot that Senator Scott, or
anybody else. has spent a hundred
thousand dollars in a single county
for the purpose of corrupti6g voters,
and that he has therefore spent hun
dreds OF thousands OF dollars in the
other counties of the state in the eR-
fort to be renominated to the United
States Senate? If all these hun
dreds OF thousands and hundreds OF
thousands OF dollars we're shoveled
out, who got them?
1t is one thing to make silly
charge Of that kind "by inference"
and another thing to prove it. There
is also difference between making
silly charges and making charges
based upon facts. If every person in

cessfty of answering charges" and

who feels inclined to give utterance

into the hands OF irresponsible and
unworthy persons to the great inn
pairment of government efficiency
and the ultimate decentralization of
our political institutions. It is no
wonder that public officials, and
