SchuerhOlz Retained by Washington.
j. Ed. Griffin, baseball writer for
the Washington Star, says in Satur-
days issue:
Sherry, the youngest member of
the Nationals pitching staff, will be
given an opportunity to develop
gradually. 1t is not likely that he
will start any game for some time,
but the first time a game is lost or
the Nationals get a big margin on
the right side of the ledger, Sherry
will be given an opportunity to face
some Major League batsmen. The
youngster has plenty to make him
a winner and only needs experience
and he is to devote his entire season
to getting that.

HANDS WOULD
BURN LIKE FIRE
Could Lay Pin in Cracks. Four Long
Years Of Eczema. Only Reliefin
Scratching. Used One Set
Of Cuticura Remedies.
Hands ENTIRELY Well.

al can truthfully say Cuticura Rene
dies have cured me of four long years
Of eczema About four years ago
noticed some little pimples coming on
my little finger, and not giving it any
attention, it soon became worse and
spread all over my hands. II would
have them Ia water for a long time,
they would burn like fire and large
cracks would come. I could lay a pin
could think Of, went to three different
doctors, but all did me no good. The
only relief got was scratching.
So after hearing so much about the
wonderful Cuticura Remedies, pur-
chased one complete set. and after using
them three days my hands were much
better. To-day my hands are entirely
well, one set being all used" (Signed)
Miss Eta Narber, r. F. D. 2, Spring
Lake, Mich, Sept. %, 1910.
No stronger evidence than this could
be given Of the success and economy Of
the Cuticura Remedies in the treatment
of torturing, disfiguring humors Of the
skin. A single hot bath with Cuticura
Soap and gentle amounting with Cuti-
cura Ointment are often sufficient to
afford immediate. relief in the most dis
tressing cases and permit rest and sleep
Ointment are equally effective In pre-
serving, purifying and identifying the
skin, scalp, hair and hands.
Although Cuticura Soap (25c.) and
Cuticura Ointment (5Oc.) are sold
throughout the world, a liberal sample
Of each, with 32-p. book on the skin and
scalp, will be mailed free on application

Kansas City Journal: While men
who are members of secret societies
do not always wear the emblems OF
these orders, it is no uncommon thing
at the Union depot to see young wo-
men and children who are Masons,
Elks, Odd Fellows, etc. Not that they
are really affiliated with these orders
but that the various emblematic pins
have been put on them to assure
safety in travelling.
A few days ago a young girl. upon
whose breast was pinned a square
and compass, lost her railroad ticket.
She was journeying alone from Cali
fornia to an eastern point. A man
who recognized the fact that some
member of her family was a Mason
learned of her misfortune. There was
not much ceremony but in less than
5 minutes a new ticket had been
bought and paid for and the girl
placed safely aboard the train on
which she was to continue her jour.

MIDSUMMER NIGHT.


The drefiies glow in the clematis
vines and the roses are weighted
with dew;
The birches CLEAN white where the
crescent moon shines, and the
quivering stars CLEAN through.
A humming- bird stops in its wilder
ing fight. the sunset has parted
the curtains of night.
And the purple creeps into the blue.
There il never a sound in the peony
bed, where the deepening elm
shadow falls,
But out of the hush of the leaves
overhead querulous mother-bird
calls:
The houses are dark in the clustering
trees, and the hollyhock bios
SONS are heavy with bees
Where the ivy hangs over the walls.
o midsummer night, with your per
fume and dew, with your mist
shrouded DON and your stars,
You have wakened the heart of a JOY
strange and new, that the limit
of sense holds and mars.
You have touched the wild pulse of m!
spirit-born breath that leaps tt
the struggle OF life agains
death,
And lures me beyond the earth-bars

The Iowa Manufacturers associa-

the purpose of devising and suggest
ing an Iowa trade mark and plan
will be entered upon of having all
meritorious Iowa-made goods, in all
the various manufacturing centers of
the state, labeled with this Iowa
trade mark so that it will have some
advertising value. The trademark will
be copyrighted in the name of the

4 REVOLUTION IN DRESS.

The word comes from Chicago that
ordinary man, for the first time in
several seasons, will this year get
some sort of working idea of what
woman really looks like, dressed for
the street With no rats, puffs, high
heels, corsets, hip-pads or air-pads,
and hats that do not hang down en-
tirely over the face, there will be
some opportunity to see the women
who have so long been hidden under,
over and inside all these side trap
pings. A special dispatch gives the
following additional particulars:
Women thus X-rayed will be the
work of Nine. Maerie, fashion mentor
de luxe who today displayed some OF
the new models OF women's hats. They
are small, fit snugly and cannot be
worn with puffs, rats or ribbons.
The hair must be parted In the mid
die and smoothed down until it is
glossy. That portion of the hair which
peeps from the bonnet may be curled
or waved.
What will be of sad interest to the
man who pays for the new bonnets,
however, is the dictum that muff
and satchel, the latter not unlike those
carried by mail carriers, must be worn
with the new hats. They must be OF
the same material, and shade.
Fashion this year also dictates that
mo corsets shall be worn. Stout wom-
en- will be permitted to wear girdie
over the hips. but no stays
will be tolerated. 1t Is the
season of the Empire gown in many
! varieties and the Empire does not
comport we'll with stiff corsets.
| Gowns will be longer and looser as
! to the coat and freer at the ankles
and tighter at the hips as to skirts
4 Browns in bewilderihs variety Of
shades will be the correct color.
There also is stern dictun
against high heeled shoes. Fashion
dictators have taken heed Of numer
Gus warnings from physicians thai
/ high-heeled shoes are not only re
sponsible for a majority OF the spin
al, kidney and stomach troubles o.
/ women, but destroys their grace and
attractive lines.
Women paid no attention to theil
loss of health, but they readily viii
follow any suggestion that offers tt
make them more graceful and improve
their lines.

phasizing the necessity Of obedience
to the law.
1t is remarked by the ST. Louis
Globe Democrat that nobody is salts
fed with the way the street car strike
in Des Moines was settled, except the
people who use the street cars.
The statement that a toad will eat
3S5 flies an hour gives rise to the

The pes Moines Plan.

Cedar Rapids Republican: The con-

fuss in Des Moines is a man who had
twenty-six black marks against his
record, all of them violations OF the
rules of the company and some
of them violations Of the laws of the
state for the safety of travellers.
Among the twenty-slx black marks
were half dozen shortages in fares
turned in. Yet when the company
finally let him go, after much pa
tience, 1t was demanded that they
should "arbitrate." Great is the Des
! Moines plan OF settling things.

A eAsYs SHOE.

A lew Gays ago servant girl was /
killed by motor car in Chicago. Her |
name was Mrs. Kate Porter and she |
was the divorced wife of Selwyn G. !
Edgar, millionaire of ST. Louis Her
husband had disowned her and her
son, now grown to manhood, was
never allowed by his father to speak
of his mother or to communicate with
her.
The woman's effects were few, but
among them was baby's shoe which
showed the mark Of baby's foot and
the stains Of a mothers tears. With
the shoe was q blurred copy of verses
entitled 1.-The Mother and the only
lines that remained legible were:
Sometimes the little lips of him, all
dewey wet and tender,
Are laid against the lonely breast"
The mutilated verses found in Mrs.
| Porter's effects were a portion of a
| tender poem written by Mrs. Mabel
+! HiiIyer Eastman Of Kansas City and
were first published in Kansas City
paper ten years ago. Reporters who
called upon the author found her bent
1 over washtub. Between sobs she
! told them of the heart-burst which
had prompted the poem-the death of
her own baby. week later both
author and poem were forgotten, to
be finally recalled by the death of
Mrs. Kate Porter and her futile love
for the son who was dead only to her
The complete poem follows:
Sometimes the little lips of him, II
dewey wet an tender
Are laid against the lonely breast
that never felt their kiss;
The baby eyes look smilin' UP in al
their shinin' splendor-
Oh, little son, my little son, that
should mourn like this!
Sometimes / see him comm through

An oh. the toddlin' feet of him
