"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit.
tie face was disfgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags Of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.

Perhaps Not.

An instructor in church school
where much attention was paid to
sacred history, dwelt particularly on
the phrase "And Enoch was not, for
God took him." So many times was
this repeated in connection with the
death Of Enoch that he thought even
the dullest pupil would answer cor
rectly when asked in examination:
State in the exact language, of the
Bible what is said Of Enoch's death.
But this was the answer he got:

A DESERVED TRIBUTE TO THE
SOUTHERN RAILWAY AND
PRESIDENT FINLEY.
CONFIDENCE And ENTHUSIASM
Southern Railway Has Aroused the
People to a ReIization of the Great
Wealth Which Lies Dormant in the
Southern States.
Southern States.

Philadelphia.-The Railway World,
in commenting editorially on the work
done by the railways of the United
States to aid in the development OF
the territory traversed by their lines,
in referring to this work in the South
says:
"In no section Of the country, more
than in the South, have these efforts
to awaken the people to realization
Of the great wealth which lies dor
mant through lack of proper develop
ment, been more persistently carried
on. The prime mover in that section
of the country has been the Southern
railway, and perhaps no single man
in the history of railway development
has performed so effective work along
these lines as has the president OF
that great system. For years Mr.
Finley's faith and enthusiasm in the
ability of the South to take advantage
of its vast resources has never wav-
cred. Through his untiring efforts he
has been responsible for no small
part of that enthusiasm and conf
dence which is now prevailing in that
section of the country and which
means so much for future develop
ment and prosperity.
"The enthusiasm with which 5000
delegates to the Southern commercial
congress held in Atlanta, and who
represented every important trade or
ganization in the Southern states,
greeted every expression of confidence
in the Souths future was revelation
to the big men of business and state
who, from all sections of the country,
went to Atlanta to participate in the
activities of the congress. While not
presuming to trace the influence Of this
movement unduly to the railroads CT
the South, we'll informed men in that
section will not deny that the effec-
tive educational work of the railroads
has proved no small factor in bring
ing about the present highly en-
couraging condition. If the value OF
such work was more fully rn"n0ni7""

He is used to their ways ana appears
absolutely oblivious to the fact that
they can sting. While working with
them he goes bare armed and bare
faced and pays no. attention to the
insects as they crawl over his sxpess
ed hands and arms or pile up In
great clumps on his face. Recently
he had a picture taken holding a
small limb in his teeth on which a
swarm had settled The bees formed
a kind Of long beard hanging below
his waist and his entire face was
covered with those that crawled
from the limb Old bee keepers say
that his feats in handling bees are
the most remarkable in the world.
He claims that he has not been stung
