ALMOST FRANTIC WITH
ITCHING ECZEMA

Eight years ago I got eczema all
over my hands. My fingers fairly bled
and it itched until it almost drove mo.
frantic. The eruption began with
itching under the skin 1t spread fast
from between the fingers around the
nails and all over the whole hands. L
got pair OF rubber gloves in order to-
wash dishes. Then it spread all over
the left side of my chest. A fine doc
tor treated the trouble two weeks, but
ala me no good | cried night and
day. Then l decided to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment but without much
hope as | had gone SO long. There
was a marked change the second day.
and so on until | was entirely cured.
The Cuticura Soap we have always
Kept in our home, and we decided
after that lesson that it is a cheap
soap in price and the very best in,
quality. My husband will use no other
soap in his shaving mug" (Signed)
Mrs. G. A. Selby, Redonda Beach,
Cal, Jan. Is. 1911. Although Cuticura
Soap and Ointment are sold by drug
gists and dealers everywhere, a sam

Mug" Is OverWorked Word.

The most overworked word in the
Englishman's vocabulary OF slang is
Mug" AS noun It may mean a
face, fool, or a student who prefers
reading to sport. AS a verb its mean
ings are still more varied. 1t may
mean to study hard or to strike In the
face. 1t also means to rob or swindle,
and among actors to grimace or make
faces. To mug up Is also, in theatrical
parlance, to make up.
Finally, to mug ones self is to get
drunk, the resulting condition being
one of mugginess. There is more OBJ
vious sense in this last use of the
word than In some of the others, for
alehouses, in the eighteenth century,
were commonly known as mughouses.
Mug is the English equivalent of the
German Tug, which Mark Twain found
to mean everything A new sense OF
the verb mug" in the American slang
Is to photograph face.

GHOSTS EVER BOTHER YOU7
II So, Sout bern Negro Folks Say These
Simple Precautions Will Chase
EN-.

AS a part OF the folklore OF the ne
gro folks the superstitions of slavery
days are Of great interest. The fol-
lowing are some of the negro's beliefs
about ghosts:
To feel hot breath of air strike
you at twilight signified the nearby
presence Of ghost. Should you wish
to avoid him, stop and turn your coat
and trousers and hat wrong side out
and the spirit cannot encounter you.
If, however, he is pugnacious
sprite and approaches despite the
change, turn and address him thus:
IN the name of the Lord, what do you
want?" Whereupon he will tell you
his business upon earth, then depart
and never, never trouble you again.
If, on the other hand 1t is q providing
ghost who crawls under the house,
bumps against the floor, makes
midnight hours, you have only to put
in new floor and he will do so no.
more.
Some ghosts are obtrusive and will
not only prowl about the house, but
creep in through the crack of the door
In the wee small hours of the night,
and, once inside, expand to vast pro
portions. To spare yourself any dis
turbance in this way, SOW mustard
seed all about the doorstep just before
going to bed, or place a sieve on the,
doorstep.
Before entering. the spirit will have
to count all the holes in the sieve or
all the mustard seeds, and by this,
time daylight will come and he will
have to 60 AS the counting for one,
night will not do for another you are,
always safe.-Southern Workman.

For Forty Years a Hermit.

Isaac Sheath, who has Just died IN
the workhouse at the age of seventy
eight, lived the life of a hermit for
nearly forty years at Newport, Isle
of Wight. He occupied mud-hut
which he erected on a piece OF waste
land in the village Of Chale, but the
hut became so dilapidated that the
rural district council ordered its de-
struction. Sheath was greatly exas-
perated by the councils interference.
and before he left for the workhouse
he burned the hut to the ground. Mice
and birds had grown so accustomed to
the old man and his lonely ways that
they used to come and feed from his
hand.-London Mail.

ALL POLITICAL RECORDS SHATTERED WHEN 26
BALLOTS ARE TAKEN WITHOUT
A CHOICE.
Delegates in Great Excitement Expecting Deadlock to
Be Broken Following Second Denuncation
of New York by Bryan.

The deadlock that confronted the
Democratic convention on Sunday was
the most remarkable in the history
of modern politics. There was no one
in the convention on Saturday able to
recall another instance in waich it
had required anything like the num-
Der of ballots to nominate that have
been taken without result.
Having failed to nominate with the
weekend 1t was not anticipated that
the delegates would hurry to de-
cision on Monday and the fight might
be prolonged for several days. The
Clark people still confident that
enough of their delegates will remain
steadfast to make the necessary one
third to prevent nomination. Many
might be reached. but the two lead
ing candidates were so far short of
the 725 1-3 votes necessary to nom
mate that the problem ahead seemed
difficult
Speaker Clark went to Baltimore
Saturday in response to the urgent
request of former Senator Fred T.
Dubois, his campaign manager and
George Fred Williams. of Massachu-
sets, who represented that the Mis-
sourian's candidacy had suffered by
reason of an attack upon his honor"
made by William J. Bryan. The con-
vention, apparently hopelessly dead
locked, had adjourned until Monday
before the speakers arrival.
Back of Mr.. Clarks coming was
a rumor of disruption in his political
camp. Senator Stone. former Gov
ernor Francis and the main body of
the Missouri delegations were said
to be strenuously opposed to the
speaker making any appeal to the
convention in his own behalf.
1t was no surprise, therefore, when
Governor Francis, OF the Clark forces,
seconded the motion of Representa-
tive a. Mitchell Palmer, Of the Will
son camp, that an adjournment over
Sunday should be taken Mr. Clark's
train left Washington at 1915 and
the adjournment was taken within
Is minutes of the time the news
reached the convention floor.

William j. Bryan, three times Demo-
cratic candidate for president, forced
the national Democratic convention at
Baltimore to adopt resolution by a
vote of 500 to $50, placing the party
on record against the nomination or
any candidate friendly or pledged to
the predatory interests. The resolu-
ton specifically mentioned ]. P. Nor
gan, August Belmont and Thomas f.
Ryan as enemies of the party.
After Senator-elect Ollie James OF
Kentucky was elected permanent
chairman of the Democratic national
convention he made an address in
which he paid close attention to the
tariff. He also laid special stress on
the discord in the ranks Of the Repub-
lican party and praised the work OF
the present congress under Demo
cratic control!
BY vote of 556 to 1913 the Demo
cratic national convention at Balti-
more abolished the unit rule which
has prevailed at the partys conven-
tions from time immemorial.
