opposed our plans, even endangered

Apology That by No Means

Herman Fellner tells this story on
himself. according to the New York
correspondent of the Cincinnati Times
Star. He was in Washington on bust
ness recently and met three or four
friends on the street. After a mo-
ment's chat he beckoned them to
come with him. I'm of the stun"
said he, but / want to buy you each
cigar"
They happened to be in front Of q
combination cigar and news stand at
the moment. Led by MT. Fellner, they
all trooped in. The clerk hurried to
the cigar case to wait upon them.
Before Mr.. Fellner could indicate his
wishes the clerk had slapped box

he. BEST dime smoker in town"
Mr.. Fellner is sort of fussy about
his smokes. He looked at the cigar
then showed the box away. Have
you no other price," he asked.
The clerk showed the box in the
case. Sure thing" said he. MY mis-
take and your treat"
Having pulled off this time-worn
witticism, he addressed Mr.. Fellner
confidentially. "Your clothes sort OF

ECZEMA DIsFIGURED BABY

sour little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples. his little
face was disfgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags OF cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly We saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head OF hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. II.

varez in the German embassy. That
shooting. as you know, was done by
Prince d'Abruzzi. so almost from the
beginning my plans went wrong be-
cause of the assumption of authority
by the prince. The paper he took
from Senior Alvarez after the shoot
ing was supposed to bear vitality upon
Mexico's attitude toward our plan.
but, as it developed. 1t was about an
other matter entirely"
Yes, I know" said Mr.. Grimm.
The event of that night which you
did not learn was that Germany
agreed to Join the compact upon con-
