Wonderful Highland Dialect Respor-
sible for Wrong Impression
Given Divine.

Andrew Carnegie, at a dinner in
New York, talked about the Scotch
dialect.
It's hard lingo to understand" he
said. 1T often causes awkward mis-
takes.
"Once an American divine spent
Christmas in a Highland inn. On
Christmas morning he gave the maid
a tip of sovereign, and he said, look
ing earnestly at her-for she was a
pretty maid
Do you know, Kathleen, your are a
very good-looking lassie?
"Of course Kathleen was pleased,
but, being modest, she blushed like a
rose and answered.:
=" All, ma; All ma! But my kissin,
sir, is beautiful!
1.-THE divine frowned.
Leave the room, you wicked
young baggage!" he said sternly.
HE didn't know, you see, that mod

SKIN TORTURED BABIES
SLEEP AND MOTHERS REST

A warm bath with Cuticura Soap,
followed by a gentle amounting with
Cuticura ointment, is generally suffi-
cient to afford immediate comfort in
the most distressing forms of itching,
burning and scaly eczemas, rashes, ir-
ritations and inflammations Of In
fants and children, permit sleep for
child and rest for parent, and point to
permanent relief, when other methods
fail. Peace falls upon distracted
households when these pure, sweet
and gentle emollients enter. No other
treatment costs so little and does so
much for skin sufferers, from infancy
to age. Send to Potter Drug & Chem.

Brown university, said Of John Hay:
His diplomacy was gracious, and
it was prudent as we'll. l remember,
in an argument about certain inter
national complication, how very
warmly and aptly he once insisted on
prudence.
"It was the Christmas season, and
he said that we might learn a lesson
from a little girl who was naughty in
the early part of December.
Dear me- her mother said, If
you're going to be naughty I'm very
much afraid Santa Claus won't bring
you any presents
"The little girl frowned.
