Warrenville, Or have felt the

years. / was never without some erup
tons on my body. The terrible Itch
ing caused me much suffering and dis
comfort, while the rubbing and
scratching made it worse. Last spring
had a terrible breaking out Of Bills
terry sores on my arms and limbs. My
face and arms were almost covered
with rash. I could not sleep and lost
nineteen pounds in five weeks. My
face was terribly red and sore, and
felt as If my skin was on fire. At last
tried a sample Of Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment and 1 found them
so cool, soothing and healing, that l
got some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Resolvent. I bathed
with hot water and Cuticura Soap,
then I applied the Cuticura Ointment
every night for two months, and / am
cured Of all skin eruptions." (Signed)

"cop" Arrests His Own Dog for
Stealing.
Prom the Pittsburgh Pos,

The thief who has been depicting
chicken coops in the vicinity of South
Sixteenth street the last few weeks
and who a caused the police a lot Of
trouble. has been captured. Through
the efforts of Sergeant Edwin Jacobs,
the culprft was brought to time Satur-
day morning and is languishing in an
improvised cell in the Jacobs home,
127 South Sixteenth street.
It was q great shock for the Ser
geant to discover that his own little
brown dog, Dandy" was the guilty
party, but Jacobs says the law must
tax its course, and, although he feels
sorry for Dandy" the canine has no
one to tlame but itself.
Every morning the last two weeks
complaints have been received in the
South Thirteenth street police station.
In many cases the evidence, mostly
feathers and bones, was brought along
by tho indignant residents. About 20
chickens have been killed, 1t is said,
and there had been some talk OF a vigil
ance committee being formed by the
citizens. If the police could not appre-
bend the thief.
Saturday morning when Sergeant ia
cobs was on his way home. he saw
Dandy" sneaking along Sixteenth
street with something In his mouth.
One of Jacobs neighbors also saw the
dog, and Jacobs say he will pay for
all the fowl killed, because he can see
no other way out of the difficulty.

from a book agent by argument. If
the victim says she can't afford it. he
will point out that after the order is
taken it will be several weeks before
the book is delivered and the cost will
not amount to more than about A cents
a day. 1t makes a person look pretty
cheap to let the 4 measly little pennies
block the way to a means for the
youngsters to get a good education
right at home.
Women Dislike 10 Sion-
Zone of the greatest obstacles the
book agent has to overcome is to get
a woman to sign her name to the
contract in which she agrees to pay
for the book when it is delivered. The
order is no good without her sigma
her mind by the time you came around
with the goods and wanted your
money.
But lots of people, women particu-
larly, have a great prejudice against
signing their names to any paper In
an will agree to take a book-whether
she want it or not-but will back
down when you want her to sign.

You go on talking about the book
and as you talk you fold the order slip

Nov she's got the pencil in her
hand that's something gained. You
take advantage and place the order
Slip on your prospectus, which you hold
toward her. When n has a pencil
in ones hand the inclination is to use
it. The thing n is most likely to
write is ones own name. In this case,
the only paper upon which the woman
may write is our order slip, which
you hold temptingly before her. About
four times out Of five the mental
suggestion works and she will go ahead
and sign the order.
but n thing that a book agent
breads above all else," continued the
latter, ''the thing that he can seldom
overcome If the bluff is properly
worked, Is to have a person feign deaf
ness in order to get rid Of him.

POETRY OF PRESENT.

Tho North American Review.

Whether this age is vastly more i'm
portant than the age of Socrates and
Plato. the age of Michael Angelo and
Columbus, or the age of Augustus.

opinion as they approach hopefully or
skeptically the only legitimate claim
of the age to greatness, Its attempt
to put into effect the proposition that
the brotherhood Of man can be at
tanned by legislative p%fograna. But the
beside the point here. My contention
is that a poet need not limit himself
today, any more than in the time of
Homer, to the stories and the back
ground Of his own age to speak to 1t
truths which the nan on the street will
admit are vital, real. .

underlies the pen trick of realism,

1t has only narrowed it. The intense

for reality is the greatest impulse that
has entered literature since some one
in the 18th century discovered Nature,
but this enthusiasm will have lasting
writers emancipate themselves from
the tradition Of realism. The more
men bother about the ephemera Of life
the farther they get away from the

AMERICAN GUNNERY.
ROBERT w. NEEsER.
In Tho North American Review.

y -
The credit for our high records of
today In gunnery has been ascribed
almost unanimously to the system in
~augurated by an officer of the Brit
tsh navy. But 1t appears tina the re-
~tuvenation of American ava gunnery
really began long before then-in 1892
on board the gunboat Yorktown, when
the telescope sight was first used. It's
lessons, however. were not sufficiently
appreciated by the aervice and the ad-
mlnlstrAtton Until years later, when
actual facts brought US to our Senses.
But these were not the only details
remedied- h present system OF train
Der OF officers, n from their efforts
resulted those three secrets of SUGGEST:
b 'ping-pong" machine, the "dotter,"
and h dummy loading-machine.'
Never before had there been such an
era of gunnery training as now set in.
to the continuance Of that feeling are
due our results Of today.
All relics of the old system were now
abandoned. By means OF the ping
pong and the dotter gun-pointers were
taught the secret Of continuous aim
er the ship rolled and pitched or not.
The men without exception seemed to
prefer the ping-pong device. which
fired shots from a small rifle fixed to
the guns. because they liked to hear
the noise and see the holes made by
the bullets. whereas the "dotter" made
only a pencil mark which they could
not see. but which has since proved to
be much more accurate. An additional
incentive was also found in the use
Of the dummy drll-gun, a device by
means Of which the crews became ex-
pert in the handling of shells and pow
der-bags and at which they were now
continuously exercised; such practice
formerly had not been possible, owing
to the danger of wearing the
breech-blocks of the guns.
Surprising scores almost immediate
ly began to be made at target prac-
tice, and an enthusiasm aroused among
officers and men that needed no fur
ther encouragement.
