FACE A SIGHT WITH TEHER

Moberly, Monty troub3e began

my face and it spread aft\ over my
face and to my neck. 1t would be scar

was a sight 1t looked very unpleas-

face was something awful; it just kept
me in agony all the time. Some said
it was letter, and some said 1t was
that awful eczema, but rather think
it was letter. had been troubled
with 1t for about two years and tried
many remedies, but got no relief until
used Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
when I would wash my face with
the Cuticura Soap and apply the Cuti-

and draw great big drops Of matter
out of the skin. You would think I
was sweating; it would run down my
face just as though had washed it.

when the kangaroo is once seized and
held down by the throat, the end Is
in sight.
Makes Good Soup.
The white hunter generally takes
the kangaroo skin as trophy. also
the tail, of which excellent soups and
curries are made, though some folks
detect a curious tang of musk about
the delicacy. The rest of the carcass
is left for the black fellows who are
not over-fastidious in their eating.
Seated on the veranda after a
hard day in the saddle. smoking the
pipe of peace. and watching the great
yellow moon rise through the purple
twilight until its rays invest the
ghostly gum trees with halo of
quivering silver, while the weird cry
of the more pork" ushers In the
reign of night, the sportsmen fall to
the well-worn conundrum: "Is the
kangaroo doomed to melt away like
the "aborigines before the march OF
civilization" There seems to be
much conflicting evidence on the sub
ject. A man from a well-watered cat
tie station says they are increasing,
but another from an up-country sheep
run fatty contradicts him, and SO 1t
goes on. Truth generally lies be-
tween extremes; and it may well be
that, as in the case of our own coal
supply-which scientists tell us will
be exhausted in one hundred years
there is no. immediate cause for
alarm.

as though this little act had estab-

his hands clenched as he thought OF

Mr.. Melvil Dewey. state librarian
Of New York. said recently that libra

sic rolls for player-pianos. just as
they now furnish books.
"In Toledo" said DR.. Dewey the
other day. my project has been late

Then. apropos of music and igno-
rance. DR.. Dewey told a story.
"A certain governor" he said. was
being lunched at seaside town. Dur
ing the repast the local band played
on the beach outside the hotel. The
drum was in charge of blacksmith,
and he beat it so resonantly that at
last this message was sent out:
The governor requests the drum
mer to desist.'
1.-THE bandmaster was puzzled by
this message for a moment; then his
face frightened in smile. and he
said:
more drum, Joe; the governor
likes it,"

Orioin Of Gloves.

The origin of gloves is traced to the
time OF Anon Of the twenty-first dy-
nasty by M. Daressy in a recent ar
ticle in the Egyptian Review.
Mittens are among the dress acces-
series found with the mummies Of
priestesses dating from that period.
They were made of the same material
as that of the upper garment.
It is probable that actual gloves
were also worn to correspond with the
foot covering Of thin pink or red kid,
which was more than mere stock
ing, for 1t was so made as to separate
the big toe from the others. This in
sured the safety of the white leather
sandal, which was fastened by two
straps, one of which passed between
the first and second toe. the other 60
ing over the instep.

MEANT TO REVEAL BEAUTY
That 10 the Real Object Of Dress,
According to the Idea Of
Boston Man.

Dress so as to reveal your beauty.
At least that IL the advice given by
Joseph Lee, a school committeeman Of
Boston, in a recent speech before the
National Conference of Charities ard
Corrections. He takes issue with
those who have declared that the mod
ern girls costume is somewhat too
frank in the revelation of feminine
charms, saying that dress should be
used to reveal, not to conceal beauty,
and that girls should be taught this.
In speaking of what boys need. he
says they should be made more ro-
mantle. Girls turn naturally, he says,
to Laura Jean Libby, but boys have to
be led, and should be led, to ro-
nance
In his address he declared that the
attraction of the sexes should be put
to it's natural task of producing
strength and beauty instead Of being
permitted to 60 to waste. or worse.
Zone way" said Lee. 'is the promo
ton of romance. Girls are already
sufficiently romantic, but boys should
read Scott and Lorna Doone' while
still young enough to take them seri-
ously. Singing is loves native tongue,
and must be brought back from the
professionals into our daily life. Dress
making-from Praxiteles and Botti-
celli down to Worth-is the art not OF
hiding but of revealing beauty, and

Liberty in the Orient.

CHAPTER xlli.-Continued.

Hello, you," she nodded to Dan.
Il am awfully sorry not to have
shown UP at five. Just got your note
Just got in at the hotel; been out Of
town all day"
Dan saw that none Of the people in
the room was familiar to him. and
that they were out of place in the
pretty brocaded nest. One of them
was a Jew, a small man with a glass
eye. whose fixed stare rested on Miss
Lane. He. had kept on his overcoat.
and his derby hat hung on the back
Of his head.
Give Mr.. Cohen the box. Higgins"
Miss Lane directed, and bending for
ward, brought her small face close to
the glass, and her hands trembled a.
she handled the rouge stick.
Mr.. Cohen In one hand held a string
of pearls that fell through his fat nm
gers. as II eager to escape from them.
Higgins obediently placed q small box
In his hand

please go out. Mr.. Cohen is here on
business and I really can't see any

Behind the Jew Higgins looked up
at Dan and he understood-but he
didn't heed her warning; nothing
would have induced him to leave Let

be said frankly. I've got an appoint.
ment with you and I'm going to stay"
AS he did so the other people in the
room took form for him: a blind beg
gar with stick in his hand, and by
his side small child wrapped in a
shawl. With relief Dan saw that
Poniotowsky was absent from the
party.
Cohen opened the box. took its con-
tents out and held up the jewels.
This" he said. indicating a string OF
pearls, Is all right. Miss Lane. and the
ear-drops. The rest Is no good. I'll
take or leave them, as you like"
She was plainly annoyed and ex-
cited. and, as Higgins tried to lace
her, moved from her dressing-table
to the sofa in state Of agitation.
Take them or leave them. as you

money and 60"

Of bank notes and counted them.

back.

Jew said. Il don't do business that

forward. his hands In his pockets, and
standing in front Of the Jew, he said
again:

cried to Dan. "let me have the pleas

the republican primary ballots, when the
supreme court handed down decision
sustaining Judge c. E. Branine Of Harvey
county in dismissing the injunction suit
brought by the Taft forces to prevent
county clerks from printing the names
Of the Roosevelt electors on republican
ballots.
The court held that the questions In
volved were political in their nature and
the wrongs complained Of were Of kind
for which the courts are not authorized
to grant relief.
The Taft men charged that as Roosevelt
was not the nominee of the republican
party men who pledged themselves to
vote for him II chosen electors had no
right on a republican ballot
Taft supporters will carry the case to
the supreme court OF the United States,
it was admitted tonight D. W. Mulvane.
