the streets, going about and meeting
his many friends. He was already the
favorite of the Democratic party
which was then all powerful, and re-
manned so for several years.
He was then vastly different from
the man that I saw later in Quincy
That was in 1850, when he was a sena
tor. He had grown fleshy, his face had
lost the glow Of youth, his cheeks were
heavy and his eyes lacked their for
mer sparkle. His step was heavy
Eight years had wrought a great
change.
THAT was the last time that l saw
him, but once again heard his voice.
In 1858, the year of the Lincoln-Doug-
las debates, lay sick in Bloomington
Senator Douglas came to address po-
litical gathering. The meeting was
held two blocks away, and yet from
that distance and over the heads of
an immense crowd 1 heard his great
voice booming forth. 1t was a forced
voice, raised so that all might hear
but at the distance l could not dis
tinguish the words.
Il also saw Abraham Lincoln and
heard him speak. My first view OF
him was in Springfield, where, as a
boy, l went with my father and was
left alone in the law offices of Edward
Baker. AS sat there man came in
peculiar in appearance by reason oi
his great height and his ungainliness
He sat down and drew his legs under
the chair 1t made me think of a
| grasshopper. Then some one came in
and addressed him as MIR. Lincoln
"Of the two men l believe that Lin
coin had the advantage before an audi
ence, because he seemed more of the
people, though Douglas did not hold
| himself aloOf"

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
q scale. Then it would break out
again and 1t 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
1t kept spreading until 1t 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 a
friend told me about Cuticura. / sent
and got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
a cake Of Cuticura Soap and a box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to i'm
prove. 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 well, and never
had any breaking out Of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. I don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
cura.
II have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap several times since
to use for cuts and sores and have
never known them to fail to cure what
I put them on. Cuticura Ssap is the
best that 1 have ever used for toilet
purposes" (Signed) Mrs. F. e. Har-
mon, R. F. D. 2, Atoka, Tenn, Sept.
10, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap and
Ointment are sold everywhere, a SAM
pie Of each, with S2-page book, will
be mailed free on application to "Cuti-
cura," Dept 16 L, 6oston.

the war department has decided to
clothe the army in woolen instead of
worsted uniform. All the wooden
manufacturers In the country have

samples of the olive drab wooden
clothes which they can offer. Officials

win result in saving of $5O0.O0O year.

softer and cheaper than worsted and
has the advantage of affording a wider
range of competition. AS soon as the
existing contracts for worsted uni
forms expire. no more will be pur-
::hased.

Barns Destroyed BY Flames While
Owners Were Absent From Home
and Loss Will Reach $4,000.

Middletown.-Two big barns, one
owned by James Doty and the other
by Horace Gallagher, were destroyed
by fire during the absence of the fam
lilies, and the Doty residence was only
saved by hard work on the part of
neighbors. The Doty barn was the
first to go and a half hour later the
Gallagher barn was in a blaze.
All live stock was saved, but the in
dividual loss will be over $4,000, par

STATE PRISONERS PRovlpENr.
Inmates at Columbus Have over $500
to Their Credit.

Columbus.-Necessi is the mother
of thrift at the Ohio penitentiary. as
it is in many other more fortplate
fields of life. With the money-spend'
ing allurements of the outside world
safely removed, there is every induce.
ment to prisoners to save. Many have
the banking habit to a pronounced de-
gree.
Out of a total OF 16,026 prisoners in
the state institution there are fully
1000 llen who have sums to their
credit in the clerks office ranging all
the way from the truly modest sum
of 8 cents to $400. During the last
three years there has been an average
of $1,000 to $4,000 lying in the vaults
of the penitentiary. The interest
drawn on this money is 2.55 per cent
Interest Undivided.
| This interest fund is inactive and
at present undisturbed. OF such ex
tremely varying sums are the different
amounts deposited, one prisoner hav,
ing possibly So on the looks to his
credit, and another 500 or 5000, that
the assignment of interest to holders
of the principal would be a difficult
task.
One Use Suggested.
| Warden Jones once suggested that
the money be used as a sort of sink
ing fund for the aged and infirm pris
oners. In case some one of them died
and none Of the mans relatives claim
ed the body, enough could be taken
from the fund to give him decent
burial.
| Governors Plan.
The plan proposed by Gov. Harmon
was to use the money to pay the
clerks who have the onerous task or
their hands of keeping track of the
savings.
1t would be impossible, however, to
carry out the plan of either the war
den or the chief executive, for II
would be impossible to make any dis
position of the money without the uni
ted consent of the depositors, the pris
oners themselves.
