business which greatly concerns
him. Before taking his departure
he gave number of his friends

his home coming will be welcomed
in like manner.

tho Downfall Of One Forget
fuI Husband.

He had returned home in the eve
ming tired and ready for restful hour
or two.
John, my love-" said his little wife
sweetly, did you post that letter I
gave you this morning?"
Eyes, my pet" said John. hiding his
conscience-stricken face behind the

"Well, what is your answer" still
more sweetly.
"Wh-what is what?" gasped John.
What Is your answer, dear?" said
his little wife. clearly. THAT letter
was addressed to YOU"
Addressed to me?" exclaimed John.
II didn't notice it."
And then, like a foolish man, he
fell into the trap and produced the
letter from his pocket to see. The
envelope was not addressed to him;
but long and severe lecture was
shortly after.

RINGW0RM ON SHOULDER

Box 1873, Downey, Cal.-"My little
boy Of eight years had what they
called ringworm on his shoulder and
the back Of his neck. 1t started in
small pimple like blister and kept
getting larger till 1t was the size Of
dollar. One place was as large as
three silver dollars. They we're round
and a mass of watery blisters. Wher-
ever the water would touch 1t would
cause another blister, commencing an
other sore and SO on. It was very
red and angry and would itch and
burn so badly that he could not sleep
or, in fact, sit still at times. He
would cry when would touch it.
When he would rub or scratch 1t 1t
would look like chopped meat. His
clothing irritated 1t. I tried many
remedies, but 1t kept spreading and
itching. This was all before I used
Cuticura Soap and Ointment on it.
After the first treatment with Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment he was much
relieved, and they cured him in one
month.
''My husband Is a plumber and his
hands get scratched and cut, which
means sores If not treated, SO he

AN OLD SETTLER
SUDDENLY STRICKEN
Samuel Mofftt, for Many Years Res
idert of Buck Grove, Dies at
5euteI Home in Denson.
FUNERAL WILL BE ON FRIDAY
Was IS Years of Age and Was Born
in lreland-lived in Iowa
for 80 Years.

1t is an unusual thing for DenisOn
to have two deceased people awaiting
burial at the same time, but it is more
unusual to find those two persons in
the same house. Mrs. E. A. Stone de-
parted this life on Monday morning
and her body while awaiting burial
lis at the Beutel home and will re-
main there until the funeral, which
will be held this afternoon from the
George Menagh residence.
At O'Clock this morning at the
Beutel home Samuel Moffitt departed
this life, and from which home he
will be buried on Friday morning OF
this week. His death may be said to
have occurred as result OF old age
as he must have been in the neigh
borhood of IS years of age at the time
of his death. 1t is said that he sui
tered some kind of stroke which
carried him away.
Father Mottitt was born in Ireland,
where he grew to manhood and was
married at Belfast to Mary Anne
Stewart. A short time after their
marriage they came to Toronto, Cana
da, and later to Rock Island county,
Illinois. About thirty years ago he
located on a farm near Defiance in
Shelby county, but for many
years lived in the vicinity of Buck
Grove. His wife departed this life
twelve years ago and since that time
the deceased has lived with his chill
dren living here in Denison. The de-
ceased was the father of six chill
dren, three boys and three girls, three
of whom survive him. The names OF
the children are as follows: Robert
John, of Woodstock, Mimi; William
Thomas, of Denison, and Mrs. Lizzie
Beutel, also of Denison. The other
children, Mrs. Maggie Potter, Mrs.
Mae Huntington and Mrs. Samuel
Stewart, being deceased. He was one
of ten children, his brothers and Sis
tiers all being deceased, but living to
a good old age.
Mr.. Moffitt was conscientious
christian and his influence was always
cast upon the side Of right. No ques-
ton of policy or for desire for popu-
larity could ever turn him from what
he believed was the course OF right.
He preferred to be with the minority
and be right rather than to lead the
ma iority. His children are all hon
orable and upright people and enjoy
the respect of all who know them.
Funeral services will be held on

At Spokane They Meet Brother. Ad.

WENT TO VANCOUVER BY BOAT
Number Of Days Spent at Beautiful :
Rainier National Park-Return
Over Canadian Pacific.

The Misses Lally have returned
home from an extended outing and
trip through the many interesting
places in the far northwest. They
left here on June 9th, over the North.
western, Burlington and NJ P. rail-
roads for Spokane, Wash, where they
|spent nearly four weeks visiting their
brother, Thomas Adds, enjoying his
company and visiting his friends and
taking side trips to the many places
of interest: Lakes Cour de Alene, Lib.
erty, Hayden and the magnificent Pond
Orielle, including the Meeting of the
Waters" where the Little and Big
Spokane rivers meet, a spot said to be
every whit as beautiful as the valley
of Avoca in Wicklow, Ireland, i'm
mortalized by Thomas Moore. From
Spokane, with their brother and a
company of friends, they spent three
weeks sight seeing in the cities of
Tacoma and Portland, thence down
and the Breakers, magnificent resort
on the Pacific, where they spent a
week enjoying the real Injuries of
the surf and sea breezes from thence
back to Portland, thence to Tacoma
and Seattle, from which point they
went by boat to Victoria, perhaps the
most decidedly English city on the
continent. Their trip from this place
to Vancouver was made by boat and
among the most pleasant of their
journey. One of the most in
teresting places they saw was
Rainier National Park, where quite
few days were spent. Their
return trip was by way of the
Canadian Pacific railroad from Van
couver over the Canadian Rockies, the
most picturesque trip in the world.
Their brother and his friends accom-
panied them on their way from Van
couver to Glacier, whence they re-
sumed their journey homeward, and
Thomas Adds and his friends return
ed via the Arrow lakes to Spokane.
TO say they are in love with the great
Northwest and it's people is putting it
mildly. They had most delightful
time and still are glad to get back in
the "old nest again.
