REALLY OPENED THEIR EYES
ParishIoner's Remark, However, Left
Young Minister Somewhat In
In tho Dark.

Rev. Henry r. Rose in the Newark
Star tells the story of a young min
lister who had recently taken charge
Of a small parish in Vermont. He
aspired to greater things and large
aeld, and in the hope that his reputa-
ton would travel beyond the limits Of
the village to which he had been sent
he threw into his sermons all the
force and eloQuence at his command.
He was. however, totally unprepared
for what was intended for a compli.
ment. but which was put to him in
such way that it left him in doubt
as to the real impression he had made.
One Sunday morning, after an espe-
cially brilliant effort, he was greeted
by an old lady, who was one Of the
most faithful attendants at all serv-
Ices. Approaching the young minister,
she said: "Ah. sir. we do enjoy your
sermons so much, they are SO in
structive. Do you believe it. we never
knew what sin was until you came to
the parish"

GOT HIS soBRIQUET EARLY
"Honest John" Kelly Proved His Right
to the Title Long Before
Manhood.

There have been many stories about
the manner in which Honest John"
Kelly, the ex-umpire, first got his nick
name. Mr.. Kelly himself, according
to New York letter. holds that it
came to him naturally, for even as
small boy the purity of his soul shone
through his face. Il think the first
time was ever called Honest John

quite simply. 'John'-just like that.
Then hold my horse while go in
the saloon and get a drink said he.
And SO held his horse while he went
in the saloon and got drink. But
this was on lower Ninth avenue. in q
day when the avenues honors went
to the man who could clean the most
cops in a given time. BY and by the
gang came along and beheld that
wagon full of tinware. The peddler
was detained within by a sore thirst,
and they took the tinware. And then
they came back and took the cush-
ions of the wagon. Eventually, be-
coming daring, they unhitched the
wagon and took it away. True to my
trust, stood there, holding the horse.

BABY's HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was SIX
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps They would dry
up and leave scale. Then it would
break out again and It spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and it kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when friend
told me about Cuticura. I sent and
got a bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent, q
cake Of Cuticura Soap and box Of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles Of Resolvent, two boxes of
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and we'll and never had
any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
II have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what I put
them on. think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use It. Cuticura Soap is the best that
I have ever used for toilet purposes"

els Marion COckrell six years ago.
There was not a Democrat alb
sent in either branch of the General
Assembly when the senatorial bal

bers of the dominant, party cast
their votes for Mr.. Reed in the
House. as against fifty-nine Repub-

In the Senate the vote was % for
Reed and II for Mckinley.
The two branches at noon to-
morrow will perform the perfunct-
DRY duty of casting up the combin-
