"No, we better not bring Skinski
into New York." Bunch advised.
'I'm afraid of the critics."
what critics?" l inquired. There
are only four people in New York city
who can write criticisms-the rest of
the bunch are slush-dealers, and a
knock from any one of them is a
boost"
Il mean Mr. Stale" Bunch put in.

he's joke. I caught him the day he
first left the blacksmith shop, some
ten years ago, with a boathook in
each hand and toasting fork between
his teeth. That duck isn't a critic,
he's only Foofoo."
What the devil is Foofoo?"
Bunch asked.
"A Foofoo is something that tried
to happen and then lost the address"
explained. Did you ever pipe

Well, I'll put you wise, Bunch:
II went to the Kookoo theater last
night, and myself. VOLTA! tout bien !
I have seen lots of shows before,

clare, seen any show so utterly banal
as this. The libretto was written by
some obscure person who never reads

We were a half-hour early for my
engagement with Signor Petroskinski
when Bunch and strolled into the
cafe of the Hotel Aston.
Bunch" l said, when the waiter
had forced confession from US,
there's doings out home. Clara J.
tipped me off last night that I must
hand over my five thousand plunks

"Now l can't tip my hand to the

me all over the place, can I, Bunch?"

"You bet, john" Bunch agreed.
II spent last evening with Alice and
felt like phony money all the time.
She's going right ahead with the we'd
ding preparations and simply hadn' t
the nerve to tell her that lost nearly
every penny l had. Uncle William
Grey tiptoed into the parlor for few
moments and began to congratulate
me on the good reports he had had
from Alice with regard to my ability
to save a bit of money l could feel
myself shriveling up as he talked and
the parlor began to turn around and
start for the Saratoga track

"Surest thing you know, John.'
well, that's Grouchy Stale's line
of endeavor. Say, Bunch, if it were
not for the knocks contained therein
one of that guys essays would read
like the maiden effort OF a lovesick

of his-that deft little dip into de-
generacy-something about frozen

THAT windy stuff Stale hands out

but it isn't-it's typewriter egotism."
Yes, but it's useless for you to go

Advertising Cuba.

One of the valuable things the
Cubans have learned from the Amer
leans is the art of advertising, and as
is sometimes the case the likely pupil
goes his tutor one better. Not only
will the Cuban government be Official
ly and automatically represented at
the coronation of King George in Lon
don, but the special ENJOYS from
Havana will have double mission to
fill. They are going to act as official
advertising agents for their country.
They will carry with them to England
5000 of the finest cigars that can be
manufactured anywhere in the world,
to be presented to King George with
the compliments of the Cuban people.
AS a Havana newspaper says, 'the
cigars are being taken to remind the
British ruler of the fact that Cuba
puts out the best cigars"

Sensitiveness of the Commas.

Here is a strange tale of tho sea re.
vealed in a recent British Admiralty
order. The compass of one of H. M.
ships suddenly became strangely and
violently DETECTED. After a host of
inconclusive speculations the helms
man naively wondered whether his
medical truss had anything to do with
the case. Investigation disclosed the
fact that this instrument was highly
magnetized and responsible for the
variations. So henceforth no trussed
sailor is to be permitted at the Wheel

Historic Event Celebrated.

Australia recently commemorated
the one hundred and forty-first ami
versary Of Captain Cooks first land
ing. It was in ITO that H. M. s. En-
deavor, barque Of $40 tons, entered
the inlet first called Sting Rays Har.
Dor, but afterwards Botany Bay, from
the beauty and variety Of the plants
growing about its shore. The vessel
remained eight days, and before she
left the British flag was hoisted. Al
is the custom on each recurring ami
versary, the flag was again unfurled
upon the spot where it was first dis
played. and was saluted by the gunS
of the warships in the harbor.

FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE

Our boy was born in Toronto on
Oct. ID, 1908, and when three months
old a slight rash appeared on his
cheek. What appeared to be a wa
ter blister would form. When it
broke, matter would run out, starting
new blisters until his entire face,
head and shoulders were a mass of
scabs and you could not see a par
tlcle OF clear skin. Other parts of
his body were affected, but not to
such an extent. We tried about every
advertised remedy without avail, in
deed some Of them only added to his
suffering and one in particular, the
- Remedy, almost put the infant
into commissions. The family doctor
prescribed for him and told US to
battle the baby in buttermilk. This
did not do any good, so we took him
to hospital. He was treated as an
out-patient twice week and he got
worse, If anything. We then called
in another doctor and inside of a
week the boy was, to all appearances,
cured and the doctor said his work
was zone. But the very next day it
broke out as bad as ever.
I'VE decided that it could not be
cured and must run it's course and so
we just kept his arms bandaged to
his side to prevent his tearing his
flesh. We left Toronto and shortly
after our arrival in Duluth, the Cuti-
cura Remedies were recommended.
We started using them in May, 1909,
and soon the cure was complete. You
would not think he was the same
child for Cuticura made his skin per-
fectly clear and he is entirely free
from the skin disease. There has
been no return this time. We still
use only Cuticura Soap for baby's
bath. Robert Mann. Proctor, Mimi.

The Worth OF the Voice.

How wonderful is the human voice!
It is indeed the organ Of the soul!
The intellect of man sits enthroned
visibly upon his forehead and in his
eye, and the heart Of man is written
upon his countenance. But the soul
reveals itself in the voice only; al
God revealed himself to the prophet
Of old in the still, small voice, and in
the voice from the burning bush. The
soul Of man is audible. not visible. A
scound alone betrays the flowing Of
the eternal fountain, invisible to man.
