Whispered that he wished to bid the
family cat goodby. He had not been
kind to her and his conscience was
troubling him. On three occasions he
had even sought to take her life. The
cat was brought, and as she see med to
say, ooh, forget it," tears rolled down
his cheeks. He then closed his eyes
and appeared to be resigned to the in
evitable. Even the cook in the kitchen
was weeping, and the umbrella mend
ers passing the house were requested
to lower their voices to a whisper.
At o'clock as Mrs. Bowser sat
posed to be asleep, Mr. Bowser sud
denly appeared before her in his dress
ing gown.

But you-you--"

looked around for a cigar. you and

At 1 O'Clock Mr.. Bowser seemed to

More toast and tea, and he ate heartily
for a dying man. Pillow turned over
and the cat turned out of the room.

He looked more serious than before
and sounded Mr. Bowser's lungs.
Seemed to take a secret satisfaction in
humping him well. Announced that
there was no sign of pneumonia yet,

AS soon as he had departed Mr.
Bowser had four shivers in succession
and gave Mrs. Bowser a list of debts
to be paid after he had become an
angel.
At 3 o'clock the patient tried to sing
hymn, but gave it up in the middle
of the first verse and asked Mrs. Bow
ser If she could possibly forgive him
for jawing around when the coal was
out. She wiped the tears from his
eyes and kissed him, and he whispered
that he was sorry for calling his moth
er-in-law a human hyena.
At o'clock the patient felt crink
ling of his toes, accompanied with a
twitching of the ears, and he declared
his belief that they were a sign of dis
solution. He recalled the fact that he
had once come home and raised a
great row on finding a clothespin in the
front yard, and he wanted to die
knowing that Mrs. Bowser had forgiv-
en- him. Forgiveness was extended, and
he was assured that he had many years
of life still before him. This cheered
him for a moment, but a new buzzing
in his ears admonished him that his
stay in this world might be brief.
At o'clock more toast and tea.
While the patient ate and drank, he
said he was leaving the best wife in all
the world behind him and that he de-
served booting for the way he had held
her responsible for broken windows
ard frozen water pipes. He spoke of
the cat as if she were a human being
and wondered if she would miss him;
wondered how he could ever have been
so foolish as to try to ride a bike.
At o'clock the patient felt that
pneumonia had seized him in it's dead
ly clutch and that two hours more
would witness the end. He held Mrs.
Bowser's hand and begged her for
giveness for saying that she had no
system about housekeeping; referred
to his mother in-law again and left her
several farewell messages.

ECZEMA IS NOT NOT AN
INCURABLE AFFLICTION

Thousands of sufferers from Eczema
and other skin diseases daily bear the ter
rible itching because they labor under the
belief that no remedy exists which will
effect a cure. Such misrepresentation is
the cause of much needless suffering
Eczema and allied diseases are the result
of parasite which has found lodging in
the skin or blood, and makes its presence
felt in places nearest the surface To stop
the itching it is but necessary to relieve
the afflicted parts. To effect a cure is an
entirely different matter. The parasite
must be drawn to the surface, completely
destroyed and carried off.
BRINKLEY'S "SANADOR" has proven
its worth in thousands of severe cases of
Eczema, Salt Rheum, Scabies, Prickly
Heat and other skin diseases. It is sooth-
ing, healing and germicidaI BRINK
LEY'S sSANADOR" attacks the parasite
and destroys it. The first application re-
lieves the itch, and before long noticeable
progress has been made. After the cure,
'fSanador'' restores the skin to its normal
healthy state. Sufferers from the terrible
affliction can do themselves no more good
than by testing the merits of this remedy,
which, without question, has proven itself
the greatest skin remedy in the world.

BOWsE-R. HE SUFFERS.
But He Is Game and Receivers From
the Grip.

When Mr.. Bowser had oversight his
usual hour by Is minutes the other
morning Mrs. Bowser went up to see
what was wrong He was awake but
he had just felt SILVER pass over him
| and had the quilts drawn up to his
chin. He had made fun of the grip a
hundred times over and had even as
| serted that only persons of weak in
| tellect would give up to it, but now he
had a feeling that he was in for it him
self.
Mrs. Bowser scanned his flushed face
and felt of his pulse and quietly said:
It's a case of the grip and YOU
4 better stay IN bed today. OF course
\ the grip doesn't amount to anything,
but you'd better take reasonable pre-
cautions -
but it does amount to something =
he commended as another SILVER struck
him. Z was reading last night that it
! carried off over 400 people in this town
alone last year. I want doctor at
once"
But it is mild attack, and you
know you have often said that no per-
son with an ounce of brains
1T makes nc difference what I have
often said. I am all of a SILVER one
minute and burning up the next, and
my mouth is as dry as chips. Tele-
phone the doctor at once and tell him
not to be all da.- getting around here"
That was the beginning of the day
~
some tea and toast, and Mr.. Bowser
took q few sips of one and nibbled at
the other and said that he had q feel
ing that he was not long for this
world. His voice was very plaintive
as he said it.
At half-past he called Mrs Bow
ser up to say that he had headache,
his feet were cold and that he wanted
quiet funeral in case of death. She
assured him that one day in bed
would probably effect a cure, but he
sighed and shook his head and hoped
that he would have his senses to the
end.
At 10 O'Clock the doctor arrived.
Having heard Mr.. Bowser disparage
the grip and the medical profession
combined, he felt it his duty to assume
a serious look and announce that it
was an aggravated case and might ter

The patient was to take three kinds
of medicine, summon up all his will
power and remain in bed for at least
two weeks. He also inquired if Mr..
Bowser had his life insured and his
house in order. In taking his leave he
observed that nine out of ten cases of
the grip were proving fatal and that

At 1890 Mr.. Bowser felt hot flashes
and cold shivers. and a dog howled
dismally in front of the house. He
didn't inquire as to the color of the
dog, but he felt more shivers as he
heard the bowls. He acknowledged
that he was crank and kicker and
begged Mrs. Bowser to turn his pillow
over and forgive dying man. He said
that he didn't want to be buried in
Connecticut, but wouldn't raise a fuss

At IL O'Clock there were more shiv-
ers, and he had a hot water bag a his

The Kings GIoved Hand.

1t is not generally known that King
Georges custom of appearing with his
right hand gloVed and the other bare
has its origin in something more than
a mere whim of fashion. The wearing
Of a glove on the right hand by
monarch is a distinct survival Of the
days when, the sovereign's touch was
held to be a certain cure for all kinds
IF diseases, especially scrofula.
In the days when at certain dates
it was customary for hundreds of sick
men and mendicants of all kinds to be
laid out in the courtyard of royal
palaces awaiting the healing touch Of
the Amounted of the Lord monarchs
found it necessary to wear glove in
order to- escape infection. Thus arose
the habit which during modern times
has passed into mere fad of fashion,
the. significance Of which has long
been forgotten by the majority of the
people.

colors of the Ermine.

1t was formerly believed that the
hairs composing the fur of the ermfne,
which is brown in summer and white
in winter, could not change their hue
and that the difference in color be
tween the summer and winter coats
of the animal arose solely from the
fact that at the beginning of winter
the summer fur was shed and new
coat of snowy whiteness took its place.
Lately, however, experiments have
shown that if an ermine wearing it's
warm weather coat is subjected to
lowering Of temperature its brown fur
will quickly become white without
shedding of the hair. It remains true,
however, that the ordinary winter
dress of the ermine is put on only
when the summer one falls off.-New

London's Lock Step Fad.

Do you know the ''lock step?"
If not, says the Paris Matin, go to
London and take look over the prin-
cipal arteries of that immense capital.
In order to do the flock STEP you
jump from one leg to the other with
a firm and rhythmic movement, and
you let one leg remain in the air an
instant, just like a chicken in distress
in a pool of water. The famous clock
STEP was launched by one of the big
theaters of the capital, and since then
all the Londoners, amused by it, have
tried their best, no matter where they
find themselves, to master the secret
Of its cadence. The success of the
new fad has been such that, according
to the Matin, professors of lock step"
hire men to go about the streets mark
ing the time OF the movement and dis
tributing prospectuses Bearing the adj
dress of the masters in the art of the
