Inent cannot cure an internal

Such treatment can perhaps soothe.

be removed by purifying the blood
before skin trouble can be cured.

QUESTION HIGHLY PRACTICAL.

The question is practical in the highest
degree, notwithstanding the contentious OF
those humanitarians who find in public
opinion an all-sufiicient weapon against the
peace breaker. Possibly they are right
when speaking in the future tense, but we
are living in the present. and the logic Of
facts is. unhappily, against them. 1t is an
admitted duty Of the state TO protect its
subjects failure TO do so being unpardon-
able. Wise rulers must therefore, be con-
WINGED. before taking steps 10 lessen the
burden Of ornaments. that these steps do
not sacrifice this necessary and obligatory
defence.

FARMER HAD HIM SIZED UP
Decided That Tramp Who Wouldn't Work Was "One of New InVestl-
 aatIna Commissions"

A tramp slept in the barn of farm near Raritan a few nights ago. and In the morning presented himself at the house for breakfast The family gazed at him in astonishment. for such hair as his had never been seen In that farming community. It was as thick as 1t was long, and it came to his shoulders. It stood out aggres- sively, as did his untrimmed whis- kers.
 On top of his head was a small der by hat, incongruous in size and shape. After he had eaten heartily of oatmeal and cream and ham and eggs, the farmer got up courage to ask him if he would work, as he was shorthand ed for the threshing that day.
 T am forbidden" loftily replied he of the redundant locks.
 "who forbade your" demanded the farmer.
 "The government" solemnly af- hrmed the tramp.
 'The governments a durned sight too paternal," roared the farmer after the retreating figure. And I'd like to know where reciprocity comes in, !" be added. There goes my food and get nothing for 1t"
 Later in the day, when he learned that the tramp had gone to the next farm and claimed a second breakfast. he was still more enraged. "I suppose the government told him to eat at ev- cry farm-threshing time, too-and never do a lick of work. Say, bet he's one of them investigatin' com missions. They never do any real work. That's what he is!"-New York Herald.

MAN sTUNG TO HIS DEATH
Mosquitoes Attacked Ills Nude Body as 1t Lay In an Island
 Swamp.

New Orleans.-The wreaking of ter rible vengeance upon foe is believed to have been the cause of the death of a white man whose body was found In the swamps of White Grass island. In the Gulf of Mexico. The hands and feet were bound by cords to a stake driven into the earth. The man had been dead for over a week. Hunters say that in his nude condition he must have been stung to death within few hours.
 The police believe that the man was the victim of revenge. That part of the swamp where the body was found is alive with unusually large mosqui- toes. and hunters who go there for ducks must mufie their faces and en- case their hands in heavy mittens to protect themselves.
 The authorities. convinced that the man was victim of revenge. have set about trying to solve the mystery. and that, because of the exquisite torture and extreme cruelty to which the vic time must have been subjected. there must have been a woman concerned in the mysterious death.
