A WOMAN WHO UNDERSTANDS.

Somewhere she waits to make you
win,
Your soul in her firm, white hands
Somewhere the gods have made for
The woman who understands.
As the tide went out she found him,
Lashed to the spar of despair
The wreck of his ship around him,
The wreck of his dreams in the
air
Found him, and loved him, and gath
The soul of him to her heart;
The soul that had sailed an unchart-
The soul that had sought to win and
be free
The soul of which she was part;
And there in the dark she cried to
the man:
..Win your battle-you can-you can"
Helping and loving and guiding,
Urging when that was best;
Holding her fears in hiding
Deep in her quiet breast;
This is the woman who kept him
True to his standards lost
When tossed in the storm and stress
and strife,
He thought himself through with the
game Of life
And ready to pay the cost;
Watching and guarding-whispering
still,
"Win-you can-and know you will.
This is the story of the ages;
This is the woman's way:
Wiser than scores of sages,
Lifting us day by day;
Facing all things with courage
Nothing can daunt or dim;
Treading life's path wherever it leads
Lined with flowers or choked with
weeds,
But ever with him-with him:
Guardian. comrade and golden spur
The men who win are helped by her.
Somewhere she waits, strong in be
lief,
Your soul in her firm white hands;
Thank well the gods when she comes
to you
The woman who understands.

you, I came along and brought you

I want to get home as quickly as pos

Mr.. Bill Appleweight. alias Poteet,
was well hardened to the shocks OF
time, but the pleasant.voiced girl,
coolly sitting her horse, and holding
his own lank steed by a strap, was the
most amazing human being that had
yet dawned on his horizon. He was
not stupid, but Jerry's name Of
speech had baf1ed more sophisticated
minds than Appleweight's, and the
sweet sincerity of her tone, n her
frank c~ountenance, hallowed as it vas
by the moonlight, wrought in the out
laws mind a befuddlement not wholly

wits of many young gallants south OF
the Potomac who had laid siege to

nounced, and A~ppleweight vas moth

there's a mob looking for you back

Appleweight lifted his head and
took his bearing. Then he nodded to-
ward one of the three trails which
had so bafled Jerry when first she
broke into the clearing.
''Thet's the highest" said Apple
weight, and we'd better git"
She set the pace at a trot, and was
relieved in a few minutes to pass one

CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA

Il can't tell in words how happy the
word 'Cuticura' sounds to me, for it
cured my baby of itching. torturing
eczema. It first came when she was
between three and four weeks old,
appearing on her head. I used every
thing imaginable and had one doc
tors bill after another, but nothing
cured it. Then the eczema broke out
SO badly behind her ear that I really
thought her ear would come Off. For
months I doctored it but to no avail.
Then it began at her nose and her
eyes were nothing but sores. 1 had to
keep her in a dark room for two
weeks. The doctor did no good, so l
stopped him coming.
For about two weeks I had used
Cuticura Soap for her every day,
then I got a box of Cuticura Ointment
and began to use that. In a week
there was a marked improvement. In
all l used two cakes of Cuticura Soap
and me box of Cuticura Ointment and
my baby was cured Of the sores. This
was last November; now her hair is
growing out nicely and she has not a
scar on her I can not praise Cuti-
cura enough, I can take my child any
where and people are amazed to see
her without a sore. From the time
she was four weeks old until she was
three years she was never without the
terrible eruption, but now, thanks to
Cuticura, I have a well child" (Sign-

be a grizzled beard and long arms
that swung oddly at his side. The
brim of his wool hat was turned up
sharply from his forehead. and she
had a glimpse Of the small, keen, gray
eyes with which he swept the forest
before him. He freed a horse which
she had not before noticed, and she
expected him to mount and ride away
to join others of the congregation

beyond the church. Then, with a

Granite of the South.

When n speaks of granite the
mind naturally reverts to Vermont. 1t
Is difficult to associate granite with
any section of North America outside
New England, yet 1t must now be &C
knowledged to the credit of the south
that Georgia, North Carolina, Mary
land and Virginia are producing large
quantities of stone of good quality
which insures the south a place in
the market at any rate.
The annual output is now worth
about $780, 900 and the industry is
growing. 1t may be of comparative
interest to know that New England's
output is about $4,000, 900 worth of
stone annually.
