HF. CCuqhenOur Mdde The Trip.

We have received a letter from
Mr.. Herbert Coughenour, dated
Confluence, Pa, July 18th, which
says:
"Am writing you by my papa's
request in regard to our trip to
Pennsylvania by auto. We arrived
all right after eight days of travel
ing. We had some mighty bad ex-
periences coming over the noun
tains, and had one or two narrow
escapes with our lives. Our worst
source Of delay was our tires getting
punctured, and after fixing them it
was so hot that we melted the patch
es off Of them. But aside from that
and getting off the road few times
our trip was delightful, as we saw
some great country which we could
only see by touring in an auto.

SERIOUSLY CUT.
One White Man Cuts Another From EdT
to EaP-K0 One Arrested.

There was a cutting affair near
Spring Hill Saturday night that Gre
ated some little excitement for a
while. We have been unable to get
full particulars, but it seems that
two white men, Messrs. 2. D. Toodle
and A. 3. Shaw, working at a saw
mill in that section came to Scotland
Neck Saturday evening. and for
some cause Shaw returned home in
the buggy, leaving Toodle, who had
to go back on the train. Soon after
Toodle arrived at the home of Shaw,
where he boarded, the cutting
seems to have occurred. Toodle re-
ceived a very ugly and dangerous
cnt about the throat as we'll as
several other cuts about his body
and arms. DR.. Thurman D. Kitchin
was telephoned for and when he ar
rived on the scene he found the
wounded man almost in a lifeless
condition from loss Of blood. After
dressing the wounds and administer
ing a stimulant the man revived and
when last heard from was doing
fairly we'll with chances for his re-
covery.
From all appearances about the
house the fight occurred in the
dining room, but as to what it was
about, or who was at fault there
seems to be no information. There
was only present the two men and
Mrs. Shaw, and they are not talking.
At the time of going to press
Shaw has not been arrested and
from what we have heard, the case
has not even been investia ated in
any way. Toodle is at the home of
Shaw, where he is being cared for,
and Shaw is going about his work as
usual.
This looks like case where some
investigation ought to be made.
Who is at fault?

NOW WORTH ss,0oo.oo.

MY parents were originally Cana
dians from Essex County, Ontario. !
was born in Monroe County, Michigan,
from which place moved to Red Lake
Falls, Minnesota, where farmed for
% years. / sold my farm there in the
summer Of 1903 and in September Of
that year came to Canada with my
wife and eight children. l had about
$400 in cash, team of horses, a COW, a
few sheep and some chickens. / took
up a quarter section Of land near Jack
Fish Lake, Meota P. o., and later on
purchased for 100000 an adjoining
quarter section. / have now 48 head

buildings and consider my holding is
worth at least $8,000.00. My children
have raised from 5000 to $500 worth
of garden truck each year since we
have been here. I have never had
poor crop and have never had one
frosted. Ny wheat has averaged from
rs to 80 bushels per acre with one or
two years considerably more. Ny
oats have always yielded well up to so
bushels per acre and once or twice as
high as IS. My cattle have never been
stabbed in winter, and do not need 1t.
l consider that this country offers bet
ter opportunities for settlers than any
where I have ever been. / am sure
that almost any person can come here
and buy land at say $500 per acre
and pay for 1t in one crop. My ex-
perience is that If man farms his
land in the right way he is not likely
to have his crop frosted.

CURED ITCHING AND BURNING

use Cuticura Remedies which I did.
The cure was certainly quick, and I
use them to this day. l had it terri
bly, under my knees. I only used one
box Of pills, but two boxes of Cuti-
cura Ointment, and l use the Cuti-
cura Soap all the time. l hope this
will benefit others, as it has me, after

ing for me-" (Signed) Miss Lu John

In later letter Miss Johnson adds:
"The trouble began with an eruption
under my knees, and extended up
wards toward my waist, until l was
not able to sit down. 1t kept con-
slant itching and burning all the time,
night and day. l went to my doctor,
but he could do me no good after l
do not know how many medicines he
gave me, and then told me l would
be compelled to go to a skin special
ist, which l positively refused to do. L
cried all the time. Finally l made
up my mind to try Cuticura Rem
edies, and tried Cuticura Pills, Oint-
ment and Soap, and was entirely
cured of the itching three days after
l started using them. The healing
took about eight days. 1 consider
Cuticura Remedies marvellous, and
would recommend them everywhere"

What Mamma Said,

When the new minister, a hand
some and unmarried man, made his
first pastoral call at the Fosdicks, he
took little Anna up in his arms and
tried to kiss her; but the child re-
fused to be kissed; she struggled
loose and ran off into the next room,
where her mother was putting few
finishing touches to her adornment be-
fore going into the drawing room to
greet the clergyman.
Mamma" the little girl whispered,
"the man in the drawing room wanted
me to kiss him"
WELL" replied mamma, "why didn't
you let him? l would If l were you"
Thereupon Anna ran back into the
drawing room, and the minister
asked:
well, little lady, won't you kiss
me now?"
mo, won't" replied Anna, prompt,
ly, "but mamma says she will."-Ex-
change.
