To Unclog The Pores
Remove Sitting Skin

"Clogged pores are the cause of many
complexion difficulties" according to
DR.. Heman Ward. This condition
makes the skin coarse in texture It
interferes with elimination of waste
matter, producing a muddy or blotchy
complexion, eruptions and other de-
fects.
ITO open and cleanse the closed pores
there is nothing more effective than
ordinary mercolized wax, used as you
would cold cream. but not rubbed in. It
should be applied at night and washed
off in the morning. Mercolized wax. to
be had at any drug store, will also re-
move the effects of the condition re-
ferred to. That is, it removes the IN
desirable complexion itself, with its

son county, the night of May 20 Just
ABOUT dark a man ran to the neigh
bors and told them that Hinton was
dead at the wagon; that he had been
accidentally killed. The story as told
by the man was that Just after they
had camped Hinton asked him to hand
out the shotgun which was under the
seat in the front of the wagon. As he
pulled the gun from its resting place
the hammer caught on the springs of
the seat and was pulled back far
enough to explode the cap. The load
OF shot entered Hinton's head and
killed him.
Claimed He Was Thomas Boggs.
The man told the sheriff that his
name was Thomas K. Boggs and that
the wagon and team were owned by
him. Hinton, he said, was pasSen-

It is said that Dorsey's parents and
relatives are widely known in Georgia
and that they are well-to-dO. No word
has been received from them. EN-
ployees and employers WHO worked with
Dorsey in several undertaking firms
here say he was an excellent workman
and his hospitality was extremely

of mistaken identity. Dorsey denies all

A MAN OF MYSTERY.
Mstsstasio, the Celebrated Italian Post
Was an Unusually Eccentric Man.
His Life In Vienna.

MetastasiO 1698-17S2), the celebrated
dramatic and operate poet, spent fifty
Eve years in Vienna with the Marines
family without ever learning German
or wishing to learn it.
Besides his utter Indifference to all
speech but Italian, MetastasiO possess
ed many peculiarities of character.
None might mention death in his pres
ence. Those who alluded to smallpox
before him he made it a point not to
see again. In all his fifty-ive years
in Vienna he never gave away more
than the equivalent of S25 to the
poor. He always occupied the same
seat at church, but never paid for it.
He took all his meals in the most mys-
terious privacy. His greatest friends
had never seen him eat anything but a
biscuit with some lemonade. Nothing
would induce him to dine away from
home. He never changed his wig or
the cut or color of his coat.
MetastasiO was to have been present
ed to the pope the day he died and
raved about the intended interview in
the delirium of his last moments. Mrs.
Piozzi familiar to readers Of BoswelPs
"Life Of DR.. Johnson" as Mrs. Thrale)
collected these particulars from the Ia
dies Of the Marines family, with
whom MetastasiO was so long dOmesti-

The country is indebted to Jahn Ad-

EngliShman of note sharing in the

colonies. Adams at once was taken
with the idea which he transmitted to
Charles Thompson, the secretary of

ernment seal. In this the Latin legend
"E PluTibus Unum" was to be borne

Just where Sir John got the idea is
not certain, but it is a fact that the
motto was in use on the cover of the

fancy by its applicability to the stu

HONORED THE MONKEY.
The Romantic Story of the Origin of
the Earl of Leinster's Coat
of Arms.

Most of the wild animals have
place in heraldry, and many strange
and impossible creatures, such as grif-
fms, dragons and unicorns, have been
invented as emblems Of daring and
valor. But the donkey and the mon
key have not been so used, except in
one instance, where the monkey has
been admitted to the ranks Of titled
nobility. The story Of this adoption
is told by Mr.. Curtis in his book,
"One Irish Summer"
On the Leinster coat of arms are
three monkeys standing with plain
collar and chained; motto, "Crom-a-
boo,'' ''To Victory" This is the only
coat of arms, I am told, that has ever
borne a monkey in the design. 1t was
Iadopted by John FitzthOmas Fitzger-
laid in 1916 for romantic reasons.
While this Earl Of Leinster was an
Infant he was in the castle of Wood
stock, which is now owned by the
Duke Of Marlborough. The castle
caught fire. In the confusion the child
was forgotten, and when the family
and servants remembered him and
started a search they found the nur-
sery In ruins. But on one Of the tow
srs was a gigantic ape, a pet Of the
family, carefully holding the young
earl in his arms. The animal, with
extraordinary intelligence, had crawl
cd through the smoke, rescued the
baby and carried it to the top Of the
tower.
When the earl had grown to man.
hood he discarded the family coat Of
arms and adopted the monkeys for
his crest. and they have been retained
to this day. Wherever you find the
tomb Of a Fitzgerald you will see the
monkeys at the feet of the efigy or
under the inscription.

When Lawyers Are Quiet.

One George Wilson. a lawyer, who
had much litigation, in some of which
he was personally interested as a par
ty or as a trustee, finally passed away,
and a short funeral sermon was de-
hvered by a member Of the bar in the
presence of a few old personal friends.
The lawyer told how the old man had
been abused and maligned, but that, in
fact, he had helped the poor and IN
fortunate often and was not bad
man.
On returning from the services an
old lawyer was asked by another law
yer about the services and what was
said The old lawyer replied, For
once old George could not file a de-
murrer or motion to any of the pro-
ceedings which had taken place"

A Sight That Checked Her Royal Ex-
travagance For Awhile.
We are accustomed to think that the
day is long past when a sovereign
could oppress and offend a whole king
dom by personal extravaganza. But
the late Isabella of Spain belonged in
spirit to the sixteenth century. An in
cident Of her reckless career-which
ended in the loss Of the throne-is not
ed IN Munsey's Magazine.
She spent money, pouring it out like
water, at a time when the treasury
was nearly bankrupt and when the
proverb 'Poor as a Spaniard" was
far too true. All her best advisers
urged her to practice economy. Very
few Of them succeeded, and these only
for a short time.
A certain chamberlain of hers once
hit upon a plan to make her realize
how enormous were the sums that she
was spending. Passing through the
hall Of the palace, she was surprised
to see a vast heap of silver pieces, re-
sembling the contents Of a great bin
Of wheat, but piled up in the middle
of the floor. The queen summoned her
chamberlain.
what is the meaning Of all this
money" she demanded Of him.
"Oh," he replied, with a low bow,
'this is merely the amount which
have brought out to pay the bill of
your majesty's glOvemaker."
The queen cOlOred and then laughed,
and for several months she was less
extravagant in her expenditures for
clothes.
