CHILD'S FACE ALL RED SPOTS

632 N. 9Th ST., Terre Haute, Ind
MY little nephew, a boy Of four
years, had a breaking out on his face.
1t was little red spots at first, then
he would rub and scratch and water
blisters would form, and wherever the
water would run another would come
until his face was covered with them.
He would cry and fret. His mother
got some medicine, but 1t did not do
any good. He would scream and cry
and say 1t hurt. We hardly knew him,
his little face was all red spots and
blisters. So l begged him to let me
put some Cuticura Ointment on them.
The next morning | made a strong
soap suds with Cuticura Soap and
washed his face in the warm suds.
The little blisters burst by pressing
the cloth on them. After | had his
face washed, / put the Cuticura ONT
ment on and in a short time his little
face was all red and dry. kept using
the Cuticura Soap and putting on the
Cuticura Ointment and his face got as
we'll and 1t did lot leave a scar. He
was entirely cured in about one week
and a half" (Signed) Mrs. Arthur

Really Had Best of II.

John Burroughs is we'll known as
one OF the foremost of nature writer's
In this country. Some time ago he
visited his brother, Eden Burroughs,
who lives in the Catskiils, at a place
called Hobart. The two brothers went
fox hunting together The honor of
the hunt came to Eden, who shot the
only fox. 1t SO happened that fox
skins were worth Ave dollars at that
time, and the successful Nimrod took
much pride in telling how he got tho
better Of the sage of Slabsides. Later,
In boasting to a few friends about 1t
in the presence Of his brother, John,
he was interrupted by, You have
Dragged about that fox hunt long
enough. You shot the fox, sold the
skin and got five dollars. | wrote a
little account Of the hunt, and got
SIS from the magazine which publish
ed it. So there you are!"

His Attendance at a Country
"Functlon."

a function while l was over at Tor

was held In a dispirited grove at the
end OF a road In which every time
a horse popped down his foot the Gust
shot up in the air like a skyrocket.
A band was playing without the
slightest remorse. A statesman, with
a neck as wrinkled as a pickle. cron-
cd forth redundant nonenities with
out end. A sad and rickety merry
g~o-wabble wound round and round
TO the sound of its own plaintive pee
d~ie-deedle. In a tipsy pavilion a
hoarse person was en6eavoring to sell,
IN brazen defiance OF the pure food
and drug act. what looked alarmingly
like horned toads fried in a~Xle-grease.
A gentleman In a striped tent near
by h%oarsely stated that he preferred
TO eat snakes at ten cents per SER
pent. There was the usual balloon
which seemed perfectly willing to do

through the festal scene were a few
old soldiers, grumbling; a smattering
OF farmers. also grumbling; sundry
honest voters. likewise %grumbling;
and various other folks, nothing
about whom is worth mentioning eX-
cept that they, too, were grumbiing.
II may have been a reunion, a fair, a
rally, a picnic, or w%hat-not; but what
ever they CHANGED to call 1t: twas an
excellent example Of one Of u most
cherished observation-disclosures City
