Baltimore French,

A Baltimore boniface tells of a
waiter in that city who lately an
nounced that he had taken up the
study of the French language.
do you find it necessary here?"
asked the patron to whom the man
confided this bit of information.
mot here, sir" explained the wait
er; but I've been offered a steady
job in Paris at one of the hotels if |
can learn French"
''But Paris is full of French wait
ers," said the patron. I'm afraid
you're being deceived"
mo, sir" said the man. with much
earnestness and absolute simplicity.
THE propositions a straight one. The
proprietor Of the hotel says that the
walters he has can't understand
French as we Baltimoreans speak it.

An Established Reputation.

Application for employment was re-
Gently made to a Louisville business
man by young chap from the noun

the stranger, but as no references
were offered, he determined to hold
the application in allegiance until he
could personally look into the young
mans antecedents, which he could do
when next he visited that part of the
state whence the applicant hailed
1t was not long before the oppor-
tunity was afforded. The Louisville
man sought out the sheriff of the
young mans home county and asked /:
"Do you know Bill Sparks

WEDDING GLOVE FOR BRIDE
Third Finger is Left Unstitched So
That the Ring Can Be Slipped

A happy era has dawned for the
bride at the fateful moment when the

now be able to uncover the third fin

need do is to slip her finger through
the slit to receive the ring. The fin

into the glove after the ceremony.
The device will be greatly appre-

by the nervous bridegroom.

ECZEMA DISFlGURED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
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 distigured 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 Cuticu,a Remedies, ard
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment Following the directions
carefully and promptly We saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
childs 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 8S3, West Point, Neb.,
Oct. 26, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers everywhere, sample of
each, with 32-page book, will be mailed

sHREWD BUSINESS MAN.

Success Of J. Jamison, the Los Anselss
Iron Merchant.
One Of the most gratifying signs OF
the progress which the race Is making
is seen in the thrift and industry Of
many ambitious individuals who in the
far west are engaged in lines Of bust
ness other than the ordinary. The
manufa cture Of cotton fabrics. soap.
statuary and the like has been under
taken. Quite out Of the ordinary in
deed we find Mr.. J. JamisOn Of Los
Angeles. Cal, engaged in the iron bust
ness with marked success.
He has large yard on Santa Fe ave-
nue., in Los Angeles. with improved ia.
cilities for handling the commodity
and employs large number OF per-
sons in his esta blishment. BY buying
several tons Of iron at q time he Is
able to secure more reasonable terms.
This has been one Of the features of
his success in the business which he
has given careful study.
Mr.. Jnmison is we'll known among
the large iron manufacturers Of the
state, who recognize in him those lee
essary elements which characterize
the successful man Of affairs. Mr..
Jamison started his business In small
way. He proceeded cautiously. keep
ing q close watch on receipts and ex-
penses. BY this method he has kept
on the safe side In line Of business
not hitherto undertaken by our people.
