II met a queer old woman charac-

lice Judge McGannon when talk had
drifted around to queer people one
meets. "She was travelling with her
grown son, whom l had met in the
smoking compartment, and later on
1 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?" I asked her
casually. judging from something she
had said that she did know him.
"She gave me a strange sort of a
look. Well she replied, 4 don't

down the hill to the trolley line he
waved his hand toward the lumber

Writing with o. Henry was not q
labor of love. but of mental necessity.
He dreaded the drudgery OF transfer
ring his ideas to paper. For weeks
he would compose nothing, but when
an idea seized him It gave him no rest
until the story was completed to his
satisfaction. He never revised or re-.
wrote, but when once copy left his
hands 1t needed no revision. Nearly
all OF his stories were completed at
one sitting. He had long had In mind
the writing of a novel but was de.
TERED for many years because OF the
necessity he felt of finishing a task
without Interruption. A few months
prior to his death he had overcome
this feeling sufficiently to begin work
upon his novel. but life was not per.
m1tted him to complete 1t. So the
fame of o. Henry must rest upon his
marvellous short stories.
When at home In New York his
fayorite place was on the benches in
Madison Square in the midst of the
derel1cts OF the world Here he
struck up acquaintances with men
from all over the world, heard their
stories, sympathized with their trou.
bles and later Incorporated them in
MS stories. Many of his characters
still sit daily in pleasant weather on
the benches Of the little park all un.
conscious of the fame that is theirs.
Although he made large sums of
money from his stories, he was too
free-handed and too improvident to
accumulate wealth. No friend or
needy stranger ever appealed to him
In vain. During the latter years of
his life his stories commanded the
highest price paid to any American
author. Magazines were willing to
pay $3.50, $1,000, any price he chose
to ask for single story. But no need
OF money and no fiattering offer could
induce him to write If the spirit did
not move him nor could entice him to
lower by one jot or title the standard
OF work that he set for himself,
o. Henry's fatal illness was of brie,

STUBBORN ECZEMA ON HANDS

Some nine years ago / noticed
small pimples breaking out on the
back Of my hands. They became very
irritating, and gradually became
worse, SO that / could not sleep at
night. ! consulted a physician who
treated me a long time, but it got
worse, and 1 could not put my hands
In water. I was treated at the hos
pital, and it was just the same. 1 was
told that it was a very bad case OF
eczema. Well, just kept ON using
everything that l could for nearly
eight years until was advised to try
Cuticura Ointment. / did SO, and
found after few applications and by
bandaging my hands well up that the
burning sensations were disappearing,
could sleep well, and did not have
any itching during the night. began
after while to use Cuticura Soap for
= wash for them, and think by using
the Soap and Ointment i was much
benefited. 1 stuck to the Cuticura
treatment, and thought II could use
other remedies for over seven years
with no result, and after only having
\ few applications and finding ease
from Cuticura Ointment, thought it
deserved a fair trial with a severe
and stubborn case. / used the Oint-
ment and Soap for nearly six months,
and am glad to say that I have
hands as clear as anyone.
