hold his men in check, Eseudero
has advised the minister of war
against the expedition, and It is
abandoned.

A Dou and a Bum,

In a vacant lot at the corner OF
Eleventh and Larimer streets was an
old white dog that wasn't we'll. He
crawled over neal a billboard and lay
down. Lots of people saw him, but
nobody paid any attention to him un-
til a tramplsh-looking fellow came
along. He was Hard Times" per.
sonified. He went over and petted
the dog.
What's the matter. old boy?" he
asked. "Sick?"
The dog seemed to appreciate the
uncouth ones attentions. The man
petted him a little more.
Wait. I'll get you a drink" he said.
He went to a saloon near by and
returned with a tin basin full of wa
ter. The dog Tapped up some of the
water and the man poured the rest
on the animals head. In a couple Of
minutes more the dog arose and slow
ly walked away. wagging his tail. He
was much better.
Just an old dog-just an old bum
that's all.--Denyer Times.

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

at is just a year ago that my sis
ter came over here co us. She had
been here only a few weeks when her
eyes began to be red, and to burn and
sting as IL she had sand In them.
Then we used all Of the home RENE
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to battle them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
in the light. At last she decided to
go to a doctor, because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said 1t was a very severe disease, and
IL she did not follow his orders close
ly she might lose her eyesight. He
made her eyes burn and applied cleo
tricity to them, and gave her various
ointments. In the two and a half or
three months that she went to the
doctor, we could see very little inn
provement.
Then WI had read so much how
people had been helped by Cuticura
that we thought we would try it, and
we cannot be thankful enough that we
used it. My sister used the Cuticura
Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with Cuticura Soap, and at night
after washing. she anointed her eyes
yery gently on the outside with the
Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the
swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes, and after a month there was no
longer any mucus or watering of the
eyes. She could already see better,
and in six weeks she was cured"
