Burro Saves Its Master From Prison

OF disarming him.
At the Offices OF the society the old
prospector told a story which won
sympathy. II was repeated later to a
throng of citizens who accompanied
Braunsheidt and Rambo to livery
barn. where the burro had been
stabbed. willing hands reached for
pocketbooks and none desired to have
him punished He was released. AS
he walked away from the city hall
building, one arm placed affectionate-
ly about the burro's neck, he was
cheered by the men who contributed
to provide him and his companion
with food.
Braunsheidt, known to many pr
onsers as Aaron Brandt, has won and
lost fortunes In search OF wealth
which he believes exists In his gyp-
sum claims near Tucson For forty
years he has prospected. His wife
and their only daughter conducted a
confectionery In San Francisco. In
the great fire Mrs. Braunsheidt and
the daughter. Clara. were killed and
their little property lost. Since that
time Braunsheidt has been prospect.

NEW YoRK.-women on this side
~ OF the big pond learned with In
terest that their sisters In Paris were
wearing shoes made from humming
bird feathers. the ridiculously low
price of $500 pair placing the
fluffy footwear within reach of all.
Realizing that It was only question
OF few weeks before the very latest
fad in tootsie trappings would reach
this city, and being aware of the fact
that humming birds were none too
plentiful. the young and old girls be-
gan figuring out how many of the gor-
geous mites would have to be sacri-
feed to cover their spokes.
Married men read the article until
they came to the line which told
about the price of the new plumage,
and then they dropped in their tracks.
When they regained consciousness
they equipped their wallet pockets
with burglar alarms and hired detec-
lives to watch their trousers while
they slept Many of them, unable to
see ray Of hope, went straight to the
bankruptcy court and gave themselves
up. More than one happy home was
rent with discord by the announce
ment. Women who had the temerity
to ask their husband how many hum
ming birds would be necessary IN their
case were generally told that whole
aviary would not make them pair of
shoe strings.

City Gets $4,000 Post Cards Daily

n HICAGO.-If any one doubts that
~ the friends of Chicagoans do not
send them cards from all parts OF the
world during the vacation season. Just
ask the letter carriers. Chicago's post
office is now receiving $4,000 cards
daily, and when the postcard crop is
at its height, the once will handle
100000 cards a day.
If all OF the postcards that come to
Chicago each day at this time of the
year from people jaunting throughout
the country on vacations were placed
end to end, the line would reach a
distance Of twenty miles.
Five hundred postcards laid on top
Of each other form a pile one foot
high, and so, by careful figuring II is
found that the total number of cards
coming to Chicago daily will form a
stack 200 feet high or equal to the
height Of some of Chicago's taller
buildings.
One little innocent postcard often
makes the postman walk two or three
floors higher than he would go II he
were carrying only Legitimate" mail.
Frequently the postmen return to the
Offices and find that postcards have
compelled them to walk one-third far
Their than the regular mail would have
taken them.
The Chicago postoffice handles in
one day more postcards than any
other office in the world under one
roof. The vacation period brings one
half as many cards to the city as
does Easter or Christmas time.

PITlFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"A few days after birth we noticed
an iniamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have stitch OF
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced 1t chronic eczema. He Is
a very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless.
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
mot until commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came of, and left him entirely
bald. but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. I don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would
fuss until I would treat him, they
seemed to relieve him so much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B.
Rosser, Mil Hall, Pa, Feb. 20. 1911.

ment are sold by druggists and deal
ers everywhere. a sample Of each.

Footwear of Humming Bird Feathers

should be much conjecture as to the
possible adoption OF the new fad by
Chicago women. In view OF the fact
that 1t takes the whole southwest side

that one Chicago order would put the
humming bird family out OF business.
