NOT A BRITISH UNIT IN IT
Irishman Would Not for a Minute
Allow the Possibility of Such
Thing.

George Mockler has just returned
from an Investigation Of what coal
is costing some Of the other cities
He brought this story from Balti-
more:
An Irishman there inherited a coal
mine UP in the state He immedt-
ately entered the lists for one of the
big coal contracts and went around
to say good word for his coal.
The man who was letting the con-
tract heard him moment, and then
interrupted with:
That's all right, but how about
British thermal units?"
The other, being new to the coal
business, did not know that coal Is
rated now according to the British
thermal units in tests.
"Phat's that!" he said.
How many British thermal units
are there in your coal?"
The Irishman blinked his eye and
snorted a bit.
British thermal units is it," he
said. Why, there amt wan in it,

LAUGHTER PLEASING TO GOD
Ncwhere In Biblical Lore Can There
Be Found intimation of Any
Other Idea.

We misjudge and distort the nor
mally human nature of the Saviour
when we picture him going through
life, as Dante did after he had writ
ten his Inferno" with the shadows
of perdition on his brow. We may
gravely question when it was that the
cross began to darken our Lords
pathway; there is no hint of such
a foreboding until we reach the mid
die of his ministry. From that on
there are occasional tokens that he
saw Calvary ahead of him, and was
at times pressed down with a dread
full sense of the inevitable agony
which awaited him at the end. But
all this is very far from affording any
reasonable ground for the conclusion
that he smiled sometimes, but never
laughed.
If God did not intend us to laugh,
on occasion, why did he endow us
with the capacity to laugh, with a
sense of the humorous, with the fac
ulty to see and enjoy wit, fun and
the absurd side of life; and, further
more, why did he produce so many
things and people to laugh att

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882, became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the affection assumed the
form Of an eczema on my face, the
lower part Of my face being infiamed
most Of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch it
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost I'M
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole Of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part Of my
face would be solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time, SO much so
that my wife became alarmed lest It
prove fatal.
During all this time of boils and
eczema, I doctored with the best ply
sicians of this part Of the country, but
to no avail Finally decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which I did, TAX
ing the Cuticura ResolVent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
ing. In a very short time I began to
notice improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until was

aurrence Of the trouble since, which Is

The bull, which was the bully of

buck sheep ran down the runboard
and the bull wandered aimlessly

rushed, head downwards, at the bull.
The latter met the rush with surprise,

grunt. Again the sheep charged
