MADE BANK ACCOUNT GOOD
Why Uncle Reuben Could Not Mese
Debt He Acknowledged ~
an Obligation.

Uncle Reuben. the village white
washer and man of all work, was .
frequent borrower of small sums
from his neighbor, Colonel Arkwrfght,
and as a rule he repaid these little
debts at the appointed time; but ON
one occasion. when he had been ac-
commodated with a loan of two dol
lars and q half. which he promised
to return In a few days. he allowed
two or three weeks to pass without
making any mention OF his indebted
ness, and In fact, seemed to avoid
his creditor. But one morning the
colonel Unexpectedly encountered him
at the postof1ce-

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then 1t would
break out again and it spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and 1t kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. I bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had 1t about six months when friend
told me about Cuticura. I sent and
got a bottle OF Cuticura Resolvent, O.
cake OF Cuticura Soap and a box OF
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles of Resoavent, two boxes of
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and Wen, and never had
any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little cur1s all over
his head. I don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
81 have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what put
them on. I think Cuticura is a. great
remedy and would advise any one to
use it. Cuticura Soap is the best that
/ have ever used for toilet purposes"

THE COOLEST PLACE ON EARTH

What is said to be the coolest place on the globe
is the region of Verkholensk, Siberia. Here is a
convict station, but during most of the year no
guards needed to keep the prisoners from run
ming away, for in the more severe portions of the
winter living remain in the open,
and during the three most severe months, when
the temperature sometimes falls to IS degrees be-
low zero, dares to venture out for more
than a few moments at time.
Ordinary steel tools will snap like glass, and
unseasoned wood becomes almost as hard as
steel. When one breathes a powder like the very
finest falls ones feet. 1t is said that there
are less forms of insect life here than elsewhere
in the world, and some of those found not
found elsewhere, seemingly having been created
especially to inhabft such frigid region.
Some of the signaIservice officials declare that
most the severe cold that sweep across
the North American continent have their origin in
verkhoIensk-- The wind blows perfect gale almost
all the time, and that discomfort added to the low
temperature would certainly make this a very I'M
pleasant place in which to spend the winter

If Yankee cheek, the representatives said aided
by French politeness, could accomplish the purpose
of building demolition there would be small chance
of separating Jones' bones with any certainty of
identity from those of the French sleepers in the
old cemetery. One scoffer suggested with fine irony
that there might be bit of the original Scotch
