HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE

81 can truthfully say Cuticura Rem
edies have cured me Of four long
years of eczema. About four years
ago / noticed some little pimples
coming on my little finger, and not
giving it any attention, it soon became
worse and spread all over my hands.
If would have them in water for a
long time, they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. could
lay a pin in them. After using all
tue salves could think of, went to
three different doctors, but all did
me no good. The only relief I got was
scratching.
$50 after hearing so much about the
wonderful Cuticura Remedies, pur-
chased one complete set, and after
using them three days my hands were
much better. Today my hands are
entirely we'll one set being all used. "

SECRET OF PASTORS SUCCESS
Writer is of Opinion That Proper '''''
ner Has Much to DO with
the Matter.

The reason why a good many min-
listers of fair ability are out OF Joo
IS because they do not want TO Visit
because they are looking for a church
that will fit their own notions ratner
than trying to fit themselves TO Tue
needs of a church. 1t is true thaI
good many men do not know how 70
call. they do not know how to DenaFe
when they get into house, they 40
not like 1t and will shirk it every
chance they get. Yet calling is tne
secret of success in almost every par
ish today-not the same kind OF can
ing in all places, but some kind IN
every place-and If our semlnaries
had wisdom they would fit their STU
dents to do their work in the pest
way. in the only way In which 1t can
be done In the country at least. GIVE
one wear to sermon-making and three
years to making gentlemen In the
truest sense of that word. Thus senu
out men who can adapt themselves 10
the needs of the place where they are
called. and can thus serve human
souls. who, being as they are, want
to be better. The problem OF the
country church is to be solved by the
pastor rather than the preacher

WHAT THEY THOUGHT or Him
Remark by Mo Means Complimentary
Made by Constituent of Repre-
sentative Underwood.

Representative Underwood, chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee in congress, represents what is
known as manufacturing district"
because it contains all the factories
and smelters in and about Birming-
ham, Ala. But he also has among his
constituents lot of farmers-of which
fact he Is now PAINFULLY aware.
He drove out to a settlement in
Bibb county one afternoon to persuade
the farmers they ought to vote for
him. AS he stepped up to the porch
of little store an old man rushed up
to him with the request:
please sign this paper. It's petit
ion to Congressman Underwood to
have young lady postmistress here. !"
"I'd be glad to sign it." said Under
wood politely; "but as I'm not resi-
dent of this community, my name
wouldn't help you"
''Oh, yes, it would" the old farmer
assured him. We're getting every
body to sign it, strangers and all.
Go ahead and put your name down!
That fool congressman will never
know the difference!"-The Sunday

hart and became the pariah of the
family. Before then he had taken a
prominent part in the most brilliant
social life both here and abroad. He
was Immensely fond of travelling and
lad made several tours of the world.
Several times he had, been reported
engaged. to debutantes who were IA
vorites in New York society for their
beauty. He was already several times
a millionaire by his grandfather's will
and it was estimated by calculating
mothers that he would inherit about
$50 100000 more from his father. OF
course the calculating mothers never
reckoned that he would stoop to fall
ing in love with farmers daughter
and comforting upon her the name of
AstOr.
Willingly Gave Up Wealth for Love.
1t cost the young scion of the then
richest house in America $30,000,O0O
and his social standing for his DISC
bedience. but he paid it willingly and,
he says today. has lived happily ever
after. Unlike the rest of his kin and
his associates among the elect, Henry
Astor was endowed with a rather bit
ter cynicism. He had begun to alien
ate himself from his aristocratic ia
Their and brothers by commenting sar
casticaily upon the shams and delu-
sions of the world in which he lived.
Returning from his second tour around
the world he asked permission of his
father to manage the big Astor farms
at Red Hook, and 1t was while en-
gagged in this work that he met and
fell in love with Malvina Dinehart.
When a very young man John Dine
hart, Malvina's father, had been farm
hand on the Aston estate. He had
risen rapidly to be manager and SUI
perintendent and he had invested
shrewdly in several profitable farms
His rusticity had never worn off and
his place had always been in the serv-
ants hall. His daughter, therefore,
though we'll educated and talented,
was looked upon as utterly impossible
as a mate for the young millionaire;
that is by his father and brothers.
Had One sympathizer.
But there was one niece, Margaret
Astor Ward, daughter Of Henry AS
tors dead sister, Mrs. Samuel Ward,
who sympathized with Henry in his
romance. She was married four years
later to John Winthrop Chanler and
became the mother of the present gen.
GRAFTON of Chambers and Chanlers.
The Chanler boys, Sheriff Bob" hus-
band of La Cavalieri, and Lewis Stuy-
vesant, are the only blood kin who
have kept In touch with Uncle Henry
Aston during all these years, and it
is more than likely that they may
share in his millions when he is laid

who consider themselves the very
cream of the American aristocracy.
His UnforgivabIe Crime.
1t was an unforgivable crime that
the now bent and white-haired Astor
committed when he refused to chill
the love that crept into his heart for
the comely Malvina Dinehart, the
daughter of John Dinehart, simple
though prosperous farmer of Red
Hook, \. Y. Although his GRANDPA
Their had been a peddler and his uncle
butcher, old William B. Astor. who
had been admitted TO the innermost
circles of Americas colonial families,
could not brook that his son should
marry a farmers daughter He re-
garded such a union as a king would
look upon the mating of royal prince
and barmaid and he treated this dis
ohedient son of thirty-five as guilty
OF unfilial conduct,
This forgotten Henry Astor of West
Copake was as brilliant a young social
light in the early part of his life as
Col. John Jacob Astor was during the
years he was happy in the marital
companionship of the beautiful wife
who was Ava Willing. Henry Astor

to rest under the Astor-Dinehart tomb
that he erected several years ago in
the little cemetery of the Reformed
church at West Copake.
No children were born of the Aston
Dinehart union and there have never
been any children in the household
Nor has the Astor mansion at West
~Copake ever known such a thing as
retinue of servants. For thirty years
Henry Aston and his wife have occu-
pied the big white frame homestead
that faces on the main road running
by West Copake down to the Copake
Iron works. four miles away. Copake
Iron Works is the railroad station on
the Harlem division of the New York
Central
This entire district has prospered
since the coming of Henry Astor to
Red Hook, for he set standard for
farming that scores of his neighbors
have profited by. And he bought
thousands of acres and put them I'M
der cultivation.
Has Lived His Life Apart.

In order to sever forever the last tie
that might bind him to the Astors of
Red Hook. Since then his social circle
has been his own family-his wife, her
seven brothers, "the Dinehart boys"
their families and the few farmers
who have been admitted to intimacy
at the Astor mansion.
In accepting his exile from the gid
ed society In which his parents moved
Henry Astor adopted regime of life
that was warranted to blot out for
ever every suggestion of the luxurious
households he had freQuented during
his younger days. He accepted the
standards of living of the Dineharts
and never once since his marriage has
| he spent dollar for show or ostenta-
ton. Indeed, he has carried this ideal
of simplicity to the verge of an almost

savage eccentricity. None of the man
looked like livery. There have been
no jangling chains or snowy brass on
the harness Of his horses and the equi-
pages he drove or was driven in were
of the most homely design. The coats
of-armS and monogramS Of the Astors
have never had place in his home.
On the Aston estate at West Copake
there is no running water or pumping
engine. The old man will not tolerate
anything in the nature of throbbing
machinery in or about his home. If
hand pumps are good enough for the
other jewellers on the countryside they
are good enough for him. The few
hired men he employs do not fall in
with this ideal of simplicity. There
are innumerable beds of "posies"
about the simple white frame mansion,
and they must be watered in dry
weather. 1t is no unusual thing for
the two gardeners who take care OF
the lawns and flower beds to carry
a thousand pots of water to the thirsty
plants in the course of day.
One Peculiar Hobby.
Another of Uncle Henry's crochets
is to collect silver half-dollars of an.
cient vintage. It is common rumor in
the village of West Copake that he has
barrels of them In his cellar and boxes
and baskets of them stuck under beds
and hidden away in the garrett. This
eccentricity is a development of only
recent years. 1t is a strange fancy
for a man whose income is more than
$4,000 day.
For four decades Henry Astor has
hardly spent a weeks income in a
year. and his millions have multiplied
enormously. He owns more than one
hundred valuable parcels of real estate
in New York city and wherever you
happen to roam in Columbia county
you will have an Astor farm pointed
out to you. None of these farms. how
ever. is held in his own name. AS
fast as he acquires them he transfers
the title to his wife. and one of the
Dinehart boys is put in charge of
them.
Some of the Astor property from
which Uncle Henry Aston derives a
large rental will pass in f simple to
his nephews upon his death. Had any
children been born to him this would
not be the case But as for the 9TH
er princely half Of his fortune, he has
taken the same pains to keep 1t away
from the bioodkin as his brother. viii.

Scorned to Dispute Will.
Had Henry Astor been so inclined
he was advised by his lawyers he
could successfully have attacked this
clause In his kinsmans will. The then
Mrs. Coleman Drayton was referred to
in the Same manner in William AS
| tors will. When Henry Astor was in
formed of this he said:
LAS for Mrs. Drayton. do not know
her; never saw her In my life. AS for
my brothers will, | have absolutely
no interest in it. / do not intend to
give Ii a thought"
An effort was made recently to ques-
ton Uncle Henry Astor concerning
his opinion of the approaching mar
riage of his nephew Col. John Jacob
Aston and twenty-one-year-old Made
leine Talmadge Force. The interview
er, however, failed TO reach the thresh-
old of the West Copake mansion. He
was held in a wedge of farm hands
while one of the Aston gardeners went
up to the house to tell Uncle Henry
that there was a plot on foot to in
terview him. Uncle Henry said curt
ly: Wedge him out" and the inter
viewer was wedged out.
Notwithstanding the reports that
have long been circulated about old
Henry Astor's remarkable collection
of half dollars, no effort has ever been
