ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY

Our little hoy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a 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 little
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
cage, 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 Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, 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 pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.
Albrecht, Box $50, West Point, Neb..

and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers everywhere, a sample of

few exiled adventurers. etc.) joined
him.
At Sedgemoor. in the early morning
OF July 6. 1855. Alonmouth's troops
found themselves close to the Kings
army. The Duke had planned night
attack. But in the darkness his forces
came to water ditch they could not
cross. There, unable to advance, they
were attacked and routed by the royal
soldiery. The peasants and other Pur-
itans fought like heroes and were lit
orally cut TO pieces before they would
retreat. But at almost the very be-
ginning of the battle Monmouth fed in
terror, leaving the helpless followers
to die for a man who was deserving
them. tThis was the last battle ever
fought on English soii) Those not
killed in fight were hunted out and
slaughtered by the soldiery or hanged
by hundreds at Judge Jenrey's cruel
orders
| Monmouth galloped away, closely
1 pursued. Later, disguised as beg
| gar, he was caught in a bean field
where he had hidden. In vain he went
down on his knees weeping, entreating
his captors to spare him sHe was sent
to London Tower, and was condemned
to death. He offered the King any
thing to spare him, promising TO be-
! tray his associates, change his reii-
gion-anything! Says Macaulay: He
chung in agonies of supplication
around the knees of the King" But
James knew no mercy Then Mon
mouth wrote to the Queen, begging
her to intercede for his life, saying
with better fervor than spelling:

] done. detest all those
people who have brought me to this.
l am an object of your pity,
having been cousened and cheated in
to this horrid business.

Lam begging for life only to serve the
King"
Even this whine did not save him,
though it was later reported that he
was smugg1ed to French prison and
became THE Man in the Iron Mask,
vet Monmouth was really beheaded.
July Is, 1886 Finding he could not
live, he managed TO go to the scaffold
with some snow of bravery, even adj
vising the executioner how best to
sever his head at one stroke. This
advice made the executioner so nerv-
Gus that he bungled the deed.

man unworthy to rule; unworthy to

The Old Man of the Mountains

and to Hassan he offered high office.
Hassan used Nizam as a stepping
stone to his own success, then muir
dered him and his son.
Next he captured a series of noun
tain fortresses in Syria Egypt and
Persia and began his terrible rule.
He induced young men to join him by
| inviting them to his castle. dragging
them with hashish and letting them
come to their senses in a wonderfully
beautiful garden. There. after a
glimpse of the places delights, they
were again drugged and carried back
to the castle. On coming to their
senses they were told they had really
visited Paradise in a vision and that
all it's joys should one day be theirs
if they would serve Hassan faithfully.
These fanatics were sent forth to
slay all Hassan's foes or any other
persons whom he thought it best to
get rid Of The Old Mans name be-
came a horror, everywhere.
The Sultan strove to crush Hassan
and was mysteriously kiNed Other
potentates sought the assassin's de-
struction. Each met with like fate.
Armed forces of the government we're
driven back from the strong mountain
castles. Individual foes died, leaving
no clue to their slayers. No precau-
ton could save a victim. From his
eyrie on the hilltops the grim old man
OF the mountains sent forth his MUIR
derous emissaries on their fearful mis-
sions. For a man marked by them
for death there was no hope. Once,
the Sultan, Sanjar. who had vowed
the assassin's ruin, awoke in the
morning to find dagger sticking in
the floor beside his bed On the
weapon was a scroll to the effect that.
next time. the blow would be struck
closer. The Sultan promptly made
peace with Hassan.
Had the old man of the mountains
confined lis atrocities to the whole
sale killing of his own enemies. he
would have passed into history as a
fanatical monster: not as mere
blackguard But he is. said to have
reaped a very tidy profit from his
crimes Rulers and men of note paid
him huge sums to buy their own
safety. Others paid him equally
large amounts to murder their private
or political enemies.
Hassan's two sons displeased him
and he killed them with as little re-
greet as though they had been stran-
gers. He also wrought havoc in the
ranks of the Crusaders. At last. in
1924, at the age of 90. he died The
horrible Order" that he had formed
was later destroyed and its chiefs
were put to death.

Hassan was the founder of strange

a sort of mock religious order, and
whom he controlled with seemingly
supernatural tricks, by hopes of a
