cans in Hope of Bringing About
American Intervention.

Chihuahua-A condition of anarchy
is reported existing among the insur-
rectos by a we'll known mining man
who returned here Sunday from the
Minaca district. Foreigners express
the fear that once the insurgents find
themselves hard pressed, they win
kill a few Americans in the hope of
bringing about an American interven-
ton.
w. Burning Tucker, a Californian,
who is prominent in this country, went
through hair-raising ordeal at Min
AGA recently. A squad of half-drunken
revolutionists, accused him of being
a spy and he was saved from being
executed and by the devotion of a
German storekeeper named Junk. Four
times Tucker was stood up to be shot
and as many times Junk, by the most
vehement protesations secured delays
and finally saved his friends life.

Yaqul Indian Murders Wife.

Tucson, Ariz.-Recause she would
not get up and give him some medi-
cine several night ago, Antonio Tecol-
etc, Yaquia Indian, crushed in his
wife's head with a hammer and then
buried her, head downward, in the
yard. When the woman was missed
Tecolete readily led the sheriff to the
burying spot, and then produced the
bloody hammer. He considered the
woman his personal property and does
not appear to understand why his act
should have resulted in any unusual
excitement.

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 a 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 it kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. l 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. l sent and
got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a
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 put
them on. l think Cuticura is great
remedy and would advise any one to
use 1t. Cuticura Soap is the best thai

There have been many stories about

was detained within by sore thirst,
and they took the tinware. And then
they came back and took the cush-

coming daring, they unhitched the
wagon and took it away True to my

tion. Well said he warmly, you're

A small West Philadelphia boy may

finished his first essay. 1t is on dog.
"a dog is a animule with four legs,
a tale and pants but he never changes
them. He wags his tale when he is
glad and sits on 1t when he is sorry. A
dog is useful animule because he bites
burglars but he is more trouble than
he is worth when he tracks mud on
the carpet. A bull dog is the king OF
beests."
