Il have come over, Mr.. kersmith, to

said Filbrick. in matter of fact tones.
Your boy Ronald attacked my son
Willie today and BACKED his eyes and
ruined his nose. I have no confidence
in the courts in cases of this kind, and
litigation is unreaSona bly, expensive.
OF course, l must have some satisfac-
ton, and I see no other way than to
punch your. head If / don't do it nay

and the whole neighborhood will point
the finger of scorn in my direction"
You speak like a man of sound
sense and discretion. Mr.. F'ilbrick," re-.

your decision during the fall, winter
or early spring, but a little reflection
will convince you that a fight during

thing more absurd than. the sight of
two grown men mauling each other
when the thermometer is dizzy with
the heat. People would say that the
temperature had affected our in

There is truth in what you say,
Kersmith, and I gave that matter my
consideration. However trying the
heat may be- it is better to adjust this
matter at once than to have it drag
ging along for months. The whole
neighborhood expects me to punch
your head some time today, and what
would people think of me if I tried to
explain that ilostilities have been post
poned until favora BILE Weather arrives
The finger of scorn would be doing
double stunts, Kersmith, and you know
It. So you'd better place yourself on
guard, for I'm going to try to soak you

THAT sounds like good logic, but you

about a mans dignity, but how is he

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

1T is just year ago that my sister came
over here to us. She had been here only a
few weeks when her eyes began to be red.
and to burn and sting as if she had sand in
them Then We used all of the home rem
edies. She washed her eyes with salt water,
used hot tea to battle them with, and band
aged them over night with tea leaves, but
al to no purpose. She went to the drug store
and got some salve. but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look in the
light. At last she decided to go to- doctor,
because she could hardly work any more.
The doctor said it was very severe disease,
and if she did not follow his orders closely,
she might lose her eyesight. In the two and
half or three months that she went to the
doctor, we could see very little improvement
Then we had read SO much how people
had been helped by Cuticura that we thought
we would try it, and we cannot be thankful
enough that we used it.. My sister used the
Cutieura Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with CuticuTa Soap, and at night after
washing, she anointed her eyes very gently
on the outside with the Cuticura Ointment.
In one week, the swelling was entirely gone
from the eyes, and after q month, there was
no longer any mucus or watering of the eyes.
She could see better. and in six weeks she
was cured" (Sighed) Mrs. Julia Csepicska,

How to ''Shed . A
Bad GomlpIexiOIl


It's foolish to attempt to cover up
or hide a salIow complexion when you
can so easily remove the sallowness,
or the complexion itself. Rouge and
the like on a brownish skin, only em-
phasize the defect. The better way is
to apply pure mercolized wax-thc
same as you would cold cream put
ting it on at night, removing it in the
morning with warm water and soap,
following with dash of cold water.
The effect of a. few applications is
simply marvellous. The half-dead cuti-
Gle is absorbed by the painlessly,
gradually, in tiny imperceptible parti-
cles-reyealing the beautiful velvety
white new skin beneath.
No woman need have a sa1low,
blotchy. pimply or frackled complexion
if she'll just go to the druggists, get
some good mercolized wax and use as
ggested.-Woman's Realm.

THE PRESIDENTS WEEKEND

The long trip of the president to
Beverly for over-Sunday homing is
not so much of a rest as it is a relief
from the perpleXities which haunt
him in everyday life at Washington
This round trip and the game of golf
cannot yield as much recreation as
the correspondents imagine. 1t is the
qualification of being with his family
which delights his soul and is the real
compensation for what every one re-
CARDS as a severe tax upon a persons
endurance. That President Taft can
do this stunt and find compromising
pleasure in it shows that he must be
in the pink of physical condition.
The Boston papers think that beau-
tiful and sallbbrious Parametta. on the
north shore is a refresher of such
quality that it pays Taft for it's repe-
tition week after week-in fact. they
feign to believe that Massachusetts
ocean washed summer loneliness is
one of the things which would really
pay anyone for crossing the continent
to enjoy.

WHO PATRONIZES POSTAL saw
INGE BANKS.

There is more or less interest in
the character of the American citi-
zens who prefer postal to state saw
ings banks. 1t has been supposed
that aliens would benefit most by the
establishment of them; but this de-
spatch from Chicago does not confirm
this general public conviction:
THE opening of a postal savings
depository in Chicago was marked
with an ca gerness that argued for the
general adoption of the plan through
out the country in the $4,000 offices,
instead of the $50 Offices to which the
system has been granted since the act
of congress. The first day ended with
359 depositors on Uncle Sans banks
books. The total deposited was
$9,4f6. an average of about S26.23
apiece No one is allowed to deposit
more than 500 in a single mnoth, or
the average would have been raised
considerably. One woman wanted to
put in 5000 and others wanted to de-
post more than the maximum. On the
other hand, there We're many children
who deposited only 81. Many appear
ed with dimes and pennies and were
disappointed because they couldn't de-
post. one dollar being the minimum.
They were sent to another window.
where ten cents purchased a. card, and
other dimes as many stamps. When
nine stamps are on the card it may
he turned in as d dollar deposit.
There was one feature that surprised
Postmaster Campbell and the seven
men in charge of the bank. That was
the appearance of the depositors. 1t
had been expected that the mass of
applicants would be foreigners and
sock bank depositors." These were
represented, but in small numbers, and
on the whole the line was made up of
representative Chicagoans.'

The company is incorporated under
