Buffalo one morning" remarked Pc
lice Judge McGannon when talk had
drifted around to queer people m
meets. "She was travelling with her
grown son, whom ! had met In b
smoking compartment, and later on
l got talking with the old lady. She
spoke of several people she knew
here in Cleveland.
Did you ever happen to know
James H. Soandso?" asked her
casually, Judging from something she
had said that she did know him.
"She gave me a strange sort Of =
look. Well she replied. I don't
know whether 10 say hIow that
man or not. He's a queer sort, you

Due Precautions.

In a town in Georgia there was an
old preacher whose knowledge OF thp
world was not wide nor deep, but who
conceived 1t to be a place where, II
one should trust his fellow men, he
should at the came time keep an eye
on his own interests.
One hot day he pulled of his coat
and preached a vigorous sermon, I'M
der the pines, in his shirt sleeves. At
the close of the open-air service one
Of his admirers approached him and
said, regretfully:
T don't suppose that you knew tina

Sunday papers was here when you

been told of it." said the preacher.

as he might be, and anyway, I put my

and among them the duel has assumed
a form that is typically Mexican. 1t
Is about as savage and deadly a man
ner of fighting as one could possibly
imagine. Each opponent extends his
left arm, and a third party who has
been selected to act as referee binds
their wrists together with a thong of
rawnide- He then places a knife in
the right hand of each, and the fight
Is on. Needless to say, 1t Ices not

FLAX is PROFITABLE
Wonderful Paying Pror esitlon In
Western Canadian Prairies.

So much is heard of the wheat, pats
Il barley grown in the prairie lands
of western Canada, and so much has
been told of the wealth to be made
out Of the raising of cattle on
the succulent and rich grasses
of those fertile plains, that a
most important product has been al
most lost sight of, Flax. Recent press
reports advise us that on one of the
last boats to clear from Fort William
tat b head Of Lake Superior) for
Buffalo, there were 241, 900 bushels of
flax valued at 1882 and on another
leaving the same day there were
2SS,O O0 bushels valued at $720, 900.
There has been a big demand for Ca
madam max this season, and the lake
movement has been very heavy. Flax
is always a sure crop, and gives to
the farmer who Is anxious for quick
return after getting on his land, the
chance he Is looking for. There is
opportunity for thousands yet, on the
free homesteads of 100 acres, and
many of these are available within
short distance of the lines of railway

struction, either on the main line or
branches. Besides these free grant
lands there is an opportunity to pur-
chase from railway and land COM
panies at reasonable prices.
The display Of western Canada's
grains in the straw as well as
thrashed grains and grasses recently
made at st. Louis was an excellent
demonstration Of what the country can
do. 1t proved splendid as an Illustration
OF the of hat vast prairie
country, which during the past year
has again proven its ability to pro-
duce excellent yields OF wheat, oats
and barley-anG flax. Not only this,
but the splendid herds of cattle are

among the people Of the United States, to think
that because SO many OF the foreign diplomats in
Washington represent monarchies and have titles,
they are possessed of a certain high mightiness
that keeps them aloof from the democratic horde.
The stranger American who calls at any Of the
embassies or legations is sure of courteous treat
ment, which is not always forthcoming when a
call Is made at an American home. OF course the
foreigners have a native courtesy which is inbred,
but unaucstionabiy they have It impressed upon
them by their home government before coming
to this country that America Is a democracy and
that they must emember that here all men are
considered equal. There are plenty of foreign
diplomats who will DO hail fellows well met in a
crowd of Americans, but who in a crowd of their
own countrymen will be very. careful to observe
distinctions of class, and hold it ben heath their
dignity to show any familiarity with one held to
be inferior in social standing.
The diplomats in Washington are great stick
lers for precedence among themselves. Length
of service in the capital Is the thing that counts,
The ranking ambassador may&isa a mere mister.
but he has the privilege of prees!ence over an
other ambassador who may be g CT mt or a baron.
The Importance or the wealth 90 Che strength Of
the nation represented in Washington amount
to nothing where the question % priority of rank
among the representatives is concerned. Great
Britain ordinarily is considered a much more
powerful and important nation in the world of
affairs than Austria-Hungary. Yet today in Wash
1ngton the representative of the latter country
In official and social professions walks ahead Of
the representative Of the former country.
The ranking diplomat in the capital city is
Baron Hengelmuller Won Hengervar, pe.yy coun-
chor, ambassador extraordinary and plenipoten-
tary of Austria-Hungary- The baron has been In
the diplomatic service of his country ever since
he was a youth, and he Is the foreigner of longest
service In the United States. The home life of
the Baron and Baroness H~engelmuller is of the
proverbially ideal type. In an article on the Aus

STUBBORN ECZEMA ON HANDS

Some nine years ago I noticed
small pimples breaking out on the
back of my hands. They became very
Irritating, and gradually became
worse, so that I could not sleep, at
night. I consulted a physician who
treated me a long time, but it got
worse, and I could not put my hands
in water. I was treated at the hos
pital, and it was just the same. l was
told that it was a very bad case Of
eczema. Well, I just kept on using
everything that l could for nearly
eight years until I was advised to try
Cuticura Ointment. l did so, and ]
found after a few applications and by
bandaging my hands well up that the
burning sensations were disappearing,
I could sleep well, and did not have
any itching during the night. I began
after a while to use Cuticura Soap for
a wash for them, and I think by using
the Soap n Ointment I was much
benefited. 1 stuck to the Cuticura
treatment, and thought if I could use
other remedies for owe seven years
with no result, and after only having
a few applications and finding ease
from Cuticura Ointment, I thought it
deserved a fair trial with a severe
n stubborn case. I used the ONT
1nent and Soap for nearly six months,
and I am glad to say that l have
hands as clear as anyone.
at is my wish that you publish this
letter to all the world, and if anyone
doubts it, let them write me and I
will give them the name of my physi-
clan, also the hospital / was treated
at" (Signed) Miss Mary A. Bentley,
