Really Had Best of Ii.

John Burroughs is well 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 Catskills, at 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 five dollars at that
time, and the successful Nimrod took
much pride in telling how he got the
better of the sage of Slabsides. Later,
in boasting to 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. I wrote a
little account of the hunt, and got
$75 from the magazine which publish
ed it. So there you are!"

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 it did not do
any good. He would scream and cry
and say it 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 l 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, l put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on and in short time his little

Matter of Justice.

Where shall Justice begin. with
those who have power or with those
who suffer wrong? If exact and ideal
Justice were ffone, the weak would
make an effort to give to the strong
all that is their due, and the strong
would try to put their affairs in order
so that no just cause of complaint
should exist anywhere. The unhappy
element in the relations of the strong
and the weak is that both are think
ing too much about exacting justice
and not enough about doing that
which is just and right. PAY what
thou owest" is the cry most often
heard Give me that which is my
due, then l will pay you what owe.

II mothers notice that the brains Of
their little ones conjure up uncanny
sights and thoughts from the shadows

to become accustomed to the darkness
