ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
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 disfgured 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
cage, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read Of the Cutlcura Remedies, and
a. once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly We saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's 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 S83, West Point, Neb..
Oct. rs, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers everywhere, a sample of

Many Postponed Games.

Commenting on postponed games In
the majors this spring deliver into

years. The spring of 1909 proved the
most disastrous of any. During the
first three months of the 1909 season.
4s games were postponed in the Ma
tional and 81 in the American. That's
a total of 1O2 out of 49s games SEIZED
uled. In the first three months Of
1910, 95 games of the 400 scheduled
were called OF in the National and
American leagues. The months OF
April, May and June of 1911 proved
the most profitable OF any to the mag
mates in the last five years, as only
81 of the 500 scheduled games were
called on owing to weather conditions.

courtesy is now being returned to the
young man. The youth has an ideal girl

Breakwater, a beautiful widow. who is
attracted by his immense fortune and
takes a liking to her. When Dan was a

he had never forgotten her. The Ca

Dan recognizes her as the girl from his
town, and going behind the scenes intro
duces himself and she remembers him.
He learns that Prince Poniotowsky is
suitor and escort to Lefty. Lord Ca
lorey and friend named Ruggles deter

and other fortune hunters. Young Blair
goes to see Lily; he can talk of nothing
but Lefty and this ,angers the Duchess.

This time two or three cards were

gled him out to take her home.
She went before him through the
wings to the stage entrance. which he
opened for her, and she passed out
before him into the fog and the mist.
For the first time Blair followed her
through the crowd, which was a big
one on this night. On the one side
waited the poor, who wished her many
blessing, and on the other side her
admirers, whose thoughts were quite
different. Something Of this flashed
through Dams mind-and in that mo-
ment he touched the serious part OF
life for the first time.
In Lefty Lanes motor, the small
electric light lit over their heads and
the flower vase empty, he sat beside
the fragrant human creature who
London adored, and knew his place
would have been envied by many a
man.

She seemed small In her corner.
You were great tonight" Dan went
on, simply great! Wasn't the crowd
crazy about you, though! How does
it feel to stand there and hear them
clap like thunderstorm and call your
manner"
She replied with effort 1T was a

And Dan came to her aid; taking

them inside the clothes of the old
beggar.

come in, 1T is time you went on"

to let him have the money. look after

day and tell her what to do.
Then he went back to the theater

TROUBLES STAR
Not Such a cinch as 1t Would
Appear on Paper.
Why Detroit Tigers, Wild Fighting,
Team Of American League, Are
Pennant Winners Known
as "Basket of Crass."

"Did you ever stop to think why
Detroit, the wild fighting team of the
American league, three-times pennant
winner, is known among ball play
ers as a basket of crags'? says Ed
ward LyeH Fox, in the Outing mag
azine.
AT the beginning of 1907 they
were a genial, happy-go-lucky crew;
now they're testy At that time De-
troit was a team of newly born
stars. For some reason they had
never forged their way into the thick
of the pennant fight, into the strain
of mind and body. They were con
tent to ramble along, playing in
flashes, hitting some days in way
to break up any game, only to drop
back into the old lackadaisical ways
Then Jennings, their shrewd man,
ager, solved the problem and by his
own inimitable personality brought q
fighting spirit to each of them. The
result was that for three consecutive
years Detroit rushed through the
American league, carrying off the pen,
nant in gruelling races.
They played like madmen, always
fighting until the last chance was
gone No point was trivial enough for
them to yield without the bitterest OPP
position.
"Then they fell-fell as hard as
they had battled four racking sea.
sons in row-and Philadelphia beat
them down. And by this time the
metamorphosis from the free and easy
players of 1906 to the red Tigers of
1910 had been completed. Day after
day the strain had increased and set
deeper into the stars. Even the best.
natured of them began to find fault
with trivial things. i
Once big-hearted Sam Crawford
flew into rage at something said by
Cobb. Delahanty, another star, became
provoked at the least instance Bush,
Moriarty, Jones, Mullin, Donovan
were ready to quarrel, rave, even
fight without provocation All of them
were stars and paying the price.
But you may say, these men are
paid wonderful salaries for undergoing
the strain

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.

she handled the rouge stick.

at Dan and he understood-bu he
didn't heed her warming; nothing
would have induced him to leave Let

I'm not going, though, Miss Lane"
he 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: blind beg
gar with a 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.

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, az you
like" she said, but give me the
money and CO."
The Jew took from his wallet roll

back.
