"a Looked Down."

road that the passage Of the ambu-
lances had made. Two miles tramped
and then came to the yard of large
plantation. The mansion was already
filled with wounded and there was no
room for me. At one side there were
many negro cabins and to these | ap-
piled for admission, only to find them
crowded. At last at the end of the
row l came to one where there was
room in the corner for one more man
to lie down. There lay all night. We
were packed on the floor like sardines.
The air was foul We had neither food
nor water. A number of the men died
in the night.
"As soon as the morning began to
steal in through the door | made an
effort and rose to my feet. picked
my way over the bodies, living and
dead, and looked out through the door.
The broad yard through which | had
come the evening before lay under the

men as were the houses.

the faces to see if could recognize

FOUGHT HIS WAY TO FREEDOM
The Emperor Of Rome Admired the
Courage and Pluck Of
CaractacuS.

One Of the most unique captives
ever brought home to Rome by Julius
Caesar was Caractacus of the early
Britons. This great chief lost every
thing in fighting to drive out the
Romans and was taken prisoner with
his wife and children. When brought
before the Roman emperor the proud
ruler Of the primitive people never
showed the least fear. His arms were
chained, and the emperor roared to
try to frighten Caractacus, but the
brave chief never so much as quaked.
Instead he looked the monarch in the
eye and said:
you fight to gain the whole world
and to make everybody your slaves. l
fought to keep my own land and for
freedom"
The great courage the chief showed
finally touched the heart Of the en-
peror, and the ruler of the Romans
resolved to see if Caractacus would be
as brave when facing warriors. On
one Of the great holidays in Rome
Caractacus was taken to the great
open-air amphitheater where the popu-
lace gathered. He was told that If he
could defeat the bold knight that
would be sent against him he could go
back to his home. Caractacus fought
as he never did before; for some
thing sweeter than his life was at
stake-that of his wife and children.
Justice seemed to have tempered the
metal Of his weapons, and when he
struck the strong armor of his antag-
onist gave way before his fearful
blows. The result was that Caractacus
and his family returned to Britain and
to happiness.

TIPS FOR THE HoUsEKEEPER.

When washing lace curtains, put
Change the water several times in the
morning, then put on to boil in clean
cold water with borax, a teaspoonful
to quart; boil Is minutes; then
rinse in several waters until perfectly
clean. Never wiring curtains in the
hands, as they are easily torn.
7 Rinse out silk stockings in soap
suds before wearing them, and after
each wearing; they will last much
longer Cold water and naphtha soap
should be used.
Dip cheese and plum pudding in
parafine and 1t will keep moist in
definitely.
Use garden trowel for packing ice
and salt in the ice cream freezer.
Instead of sewing up a stuffed fowl
use tooth picks, and lace the string
back and forth; the tooth picks and
string may be easily removed without
tearing the fowl.
Wet the edge of the lower crust of
pastry when putting in fruit in pie.
1t keeps the juices from escaping.
Beets dropped in cold water after
boiling may be easily peeled; the
skins slip off with a touch.
A tablespoonful of coffee to gravy
will add color when the sauce lacks
the caramel color.
Put your azaIeas, buried in the
ground in their pots in the sun, water
Ing every night all summer and in the
winter you will be rewarded with
plenty Of blooms.
Rub soap into the nails when work
ing in the garden and when the hands
are washed there will be no stained
nails.
Thread in a box or basket often
causes much trouble by unwinding.
Wrap the thread once around the
spool and then under itself and 1t will
not unroll, but can be used from the
spool.
Thread to be used in making button
holes should be 20 sizes coarser than
that used in making the garment For
example, if 80 thread is used for the
garment, 60 should be used for the
outtonholes.

MRS. SELBY AND PRIZE BABY

II have always used Cuticura Soap
and no other for my baby and he has
never had a sore of any kind. He
does not even chafe as most babies
do. I feel sure that it is all owing to
Cuticura Soap, for he is fine and
healthy, and when five months old,
won a prize in a baby contest. 1t
makes my heart ache to go into SO
many homes and see a sweet-faced
baby with the whole top Of its head
q solid mass of scurf, caused by poor
soap. l always recommend Cuticura.
and nine times out of ten the next
time l see the mother she says: oh!
I am so glad you told me of Cuticura.
(Signed) Mrs. G. A. Selby, Redondo
Beach, California, Jan. Is, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold everywhere, a sample
