One Of New York's leading actors

change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed. and his shoulders,
arms and breast were decidedly bet

old, all trace OF the eczema was gone.
During his teething period, his
lead and face were broken out In
boils which cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been a great sufferer. During

The gloomy Poet.

In the course OF week q large
number Of poems reach this ONCE.
most Of them written by persons with
little experience in verse making. says
the Kansas City Star. The striking
thing about the output. however. is
not that so many persons who have
never written poetry should be exper
imenting with It. but that nine-tenths
of them should be SO melancholy. The
great majority Of poems submitted for
publication reflect q spirit Of gentle
gloom.
What are the wild waves sayink?"
inquire the poets with one accord
And. why do they say iti Why should
sense OF woe weigh us DOWN. Why
are the autumn winds so melancholy
Why is anything. anyhow?
A careful reading Of several hun
dred poems Of this type does not
leave the impression that the writers
are such a gloomy lot as they might
appear. One comes to believe that
most Of them are normally cheerful.
but that somehow they have been led
to suppose that sadness belongs to
poetry.

New York.-The last word IN frog

Dean describes the new bullfrog group
which has Just been installed In the
east tower Of the second floor OF the
American museum Of natural history.

metamorphosis from tadpole.

DwARFlNe THE GIANT TREE
Professor Brewers Story Of the I'm
named Woman In the California
Redwood Forest.

Apropos of woman's inability to
forego the last word, the late Prof
William H. Brewer of Yale was wont
to tell an incident which occurred in
California several years ago.
The wonder of the immense dimen-
sions of the redwood trees always ap-
pealed to him. and he was ever de.
lighted to show these forest giants to
his friends. The trees do not look so
enormous when one Is riding among
them, and Mrs. X. was not properly
awed by their stupendous proportions.
Really. professor" she argued.
they are not so very large. after all"
They were riding along In single
file. and the professor halted.
my horses head Is Just at the edge
Of this tree. isn't it,"
She nodded.
And your horse is behind miner
Again she nodded.
Following you is Professor X, and
behind him Mr.. T.. whose horses tail
is at the farther side Of the tree. That
means that the diameter of this tree is
the length of four horses standing
head to tail in straight line"
Mrs. x. turned In her saddle and
viewed the trees and the horses. For
several seconds she said nothing:
then her face lighted up. and she
smiled at him as she exclaimed:
"Oh, but professor. these are very
small horses!"-Youth's Companion.
