saw the advertisement OF the Cuti-

eczema ! also used them on my five
children. Two of them had eczema
very badly. When my children had
eczema, was not worried at all, as
knew the Cuticura Remedies would
do their work. They had sores all
over their heads, their hair would fall
out, and they would scratch all night
and day. They had it on their heads,
face, and in back Of the ears so that I
thought their ears would drop of. 1

PULPIT NOT IN THEIR LINE
How Men Now Eminent in Judiciary
Of Country Disappointed Parents
Fond Expectations.

There were three boys in our fam

said Colonel Fred Paul Grosscup Of
Charleston, w. Va, at the Willard
hotel. "and our good old Lutheran
parents decided that one of the three
should be preacher.
Peter. the first born, was picked
for the church, while Ben and myself
were allowed to think of some other
vocation. Well, when Peter left col
lege he told father and mother that
he guessed the church could get
along without him, as he preferred
the law. Then / was picked for the
pulpit, and after term in college my
parents were shocked to learn that
/ had entered business house far
from home.
THAT meant the selection of Ben,
the youngest. for the church. and
when Ben got through his college
course he told the old folks at home
that he thought it wisest to follow
the example of Peter and enter the
legal profession. There wre no 9TH
er boys, SO what could father and
mother do but exclaim. The Lords
will be DONE and give US each a
parental blessing.
Years after, when brother Peter
reached the federal bench and Ben
achieved distinction on the Pacific
coast, our parents seemed reconciled
to the loss sustained by. the pulpits
