a NIGHTMARE OF THE AIR.

There's an awful time a-coming
When the airship Is in use.
1t will whiz down to your hencoop
And with all your hens vamoose.
That buzz buggy will come whirring.
Hook on to your hogpen there
Your prize porkers be goner
While you stand below and swear
You will go out some fine morning
For your duck pants dried at night;
But, alas, your only trousers
VIII have vanished out of sight!
You will go down TO your vaults. sir,
And your millions will be gone.
Some buzz burglar went and swiped them
While the helpless cops looked on.
You will sell some rotten eggs, sir.
Some dark night you'll hear hum.
Those old eggs will drop down on you.
You'll blow up to kingdom come.

HORSE WISDOM.

2 The problem of feeding and

{; tant to leave to average hired

3 should know how and when ,
z each horse is fed, says the Farm
8 Journal.
z An ignorant, ill tempered, loud
3 voiced man should never be toll

3 Do not neglect to give each
|? horse a chance to drink the last
3 thing at night, even If the
< weather is cool. A horse that is
3 thirsty all night will lose in con-
? dition as compared with one wa
2 tered frequently and the last
3 thing at night.

: Do not put a handful of salt

CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUM0R

II think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies Tor eczema I have
ever heard Of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on its head when It
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but 1t did
no good. In a few days the head was
a solid mass, a running sore. It was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle of Cuticura Re
solvent, a box of Cuticura Ointment.
and a bar Of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed. washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
It has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had a beau
tiful head Of hair. I think the Cuti.
cura Ointment very good for the hair.

falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis

Haldane paused.
He said he had already pledged
his support to Gormly that afternoon

well, I'm damned" said the boss.
Are you goin' to stand for that?"
Il hardly see how l can prevent It,"
answered Haldane, very much per

avoided for all our sakes."

Haldane.

Unfortunately, he has sufficient
money of his own from his GRANDPA
Tiers estate, to keep him from-er-

Gentlemen" said Rutherford, this
is a very serious indication Of the
gravity of the situation. If young
men like Livingstone Haldane espouse
the cause of George Gormly, it means
that he'll have a following among that

Lifey.
Habberley and Connell agreed, and

thing else to propose. What do you
think as to the likelihood of Gormly's
gittin' or %acceptin' the nomination of

Il think he could get It by turning
over his hand" answered Haldane;

whatsoever"
