LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882, / became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the affection assumed the
form of an eczema ON my face, the
lower part of my face being infamed
most of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch it
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost un-
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole Of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part of my
face would be solid sore. This con.
dition continued for four or five years,
got worse all the time, so much SO
that my wife became alarmed lest 1t
prove fatal.
During all this time of boils and
eczema, l doctored with the best ply
sicians of this part of the country, but
to no avail. Finally 1 decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which l did, TAX
ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
ing. In very short time I began to
notice Improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until was
well again, and have not had re-
currence of the trouble since, which Is
over twenty years. I have recon-
mended Cuticura Remedies to others
ever since, and have great faith in
them as remedies for skin diseases"

A Human Cruet-Stand.

Several villagers were discussing a
departed sister who had been given to
good deeds but was rather too fond
of dispensing sharp spoken advice.
"She was an excellent woman" said
the deceased lady's pastor. "She was
constantly in the homes of the poor
and afflicted. In fact, she was the salt
Of the earth"
"She was more than that" remark
ed a villager. "She was the vinegar,
the pepper and the mustard as well.
She was a perfect cruet stand of Vir.

CHAPTER XXVII.-Continued.

Yet she was the same. She seemed
slightly thinner now, yet not less beau
tiful. Her eyes were dark and brilliant
as ever The clear features of her
face were framed in the roll Of her
heavy locks, as I had seen them last.
Her garb, as usual, betokened luxury.
She was robed as though for some
fete, all in white satin, and pale blue
fires of stones shone family at throat
and wrist Contrast enough she made
to me, clad in smoke-browned tunic
Of buck, with the leggings and mecca
prepared for weapons.

Impossible? l am doubted? All,
but do l not know? Did l not see?
Here were the pictures on the walls,
the carved Cupids, the candelabTa
with their prisms, the chairs, the
couches. Beyond yonder satin cur
tains rose the high canopy of the en-
broidery-covered couch, its fringed
drapery reaching almost to the deep
pile Of the carpets.
Yet not quite the same, it seemed
to me. There were some little things
missing, just as there were some little
things missing from her appearance.
For instance, these draperies at the
right, which formerly had cut Off the

The bed itself was not piled deep in
down, but contained, as | fancied from
my hurried glance, a thin mattress,
stuffed perhaps with straw. A roll Of
blankets lay across its foot. AS |

She had not yet smiled. l took her

see her, and to take her hand; it
seemed pledge of friendship; and as
things now were shaping, l surely

At last, her face flushing slightly,
she disangaged her hand and motioned
me to a seat. But still we stood silent
for a few moments. Have you no
curiosity?" said she at length.
Il am too happy to have curiosity.

England herself. If, then, you are
not for England, in Gods name, whose
friend are you?"
Whose friend am II" she answered
slowly. Il say to you that l do not

friend. A friend-what is that? I
never knew one.'
Then be mine Let me be your
friend You know my history. You
know about me and my work. l throw

Meantime, you have not reported?"
NO, I am not yet ready"

your report to this Pakenham. Ask
him if England wishes to fight our
bac-.WoOdsmen once mOre!"
You credit me with very much
ability." she smiled.
She dropped into chair near by a
little table, where the light of the tall
candles, guttering in their enameled
sconces, fell full upon her face. She
looked at me fixedly, her eyes dark
and mournful in spite OF their eager
ness.
"Ah, it is easy for you to speak,
easy for you who have so rich and full
life--who have all! But my hands
are empty" She spread out her
curved fingers, looking at them,
dropping her hands, pathetjcally
dropping her shoulders.
All, madam? What do you mean?
You see me almost in rags. Beyond
the rife at my cabin, the pistol at my
tent, I have scarce more in wealth

Cement I ak No. 2

Portland Cement does
not come from Portland,
Maine, or Portland, Ore
gon, and it was NOT first
made at either IF these
places. 1t is called Portland
because it was given this name
by the Englishman who first
made it. He called it Portland
because he thought it resembled GER
tain natural deposits on the Isle of Port
land in England. Portland Cement is
the fine powder produced by pulver-
izing the clinker resulting from the
burning together of various materials of prop
er chemical composition. In the case of
UniTerfai Portland Cement, these raw mater
lals are blast furnace Stag and pure limestone.
There are many brands of Portland Cement
on the market, produced by different manu-
facturers. UniUer5aIis one of the best known
and highest grade Portland Cfmsnts. You

Fred Bassow, 447 Summer street. was
arrested last night by officer frost on a
warrant sworn out by Detective Burke
of the Michigan Central railroad on a
charge of fipping freight trains.
Bassow's chara cter is not of the best,
and has figured in many escapades in
Hammond and has been constantly un-
der the eyes of the police department
He is now under parole in the superb
or court, having been released on his
good behavior since the time Jake Dia-
mond's home was entered when he and
number of other boys stole over 800.
Mr.. Burke has been trying 10 catch
Bassow for some time. but was una
BILE to lay his hands on him and asked
the aid of the police department. Bas-
SOW has not been working and all that
he has been doing of late has been rid
ing Michigan Central freight trains. A
number of other boys have been doin &
the same thing and are warned to stay
off off the trains.
The case was continued before Judge
Barnett this morning until tomorrow at
9 o'clock. Bassow was placed under a

MUCH-NEEDED
IMPROVEMENT

BY the installation of four drop sew
ers and the laying of several hundred
feet of sewer pipe the Erie railroad
has at last eliminated the duck ponds
that were such an unsightly feature
of the depot grounds.
These improvements were recon-
mended by the Hammond Business
Mems association and the railroad has
authoriped them built, with the result
that the surroundings of the depot will
be much improved in appearance.
a. NJ. DeWeese, the agent of the
railroad. said today that no one wanted
to see a new depot erected in Ham
mond any more than he did, and that
he hoped the day was not far distant
when he would be able to announce
that the Erie railroad would build q
handsome new station.
