FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works of Popular
Writer Unearthed in Samoa and
Hawaii, by an Admirer.

1t is learned that a number of metz
and relatively important manuscripts
Of Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered in Samoa and in Honolulu
by an ardent admirer Of the great
novelist, who had been for some time
in both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings of the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found in the pos
session of some of the many friends
of Stevenson during his years in the
Pacific.
The result of this research has been
the finding of an essay, said to be
highly poetical in character, written
by the novelist after witnessing a vol
cano in action, supposedly either the
famous crater of Savaii or the pit Of
Kilauea in Hawaii; a piece of fiction
dealing with South Sea life, and a
number of smaller verse compost
tons.
Still another manuscript, blank
verse relation of well-known legend
of Maui, of considerable length, but
unfinished, has also come to light, and
the enthusiastic admirer of Stevenson
feels highly rewarded for his month
of effort.

SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK

Kingsley, Mich-"Last May my
thirteen-months-old baby had q sore
come on her cheek. 1t started In four
or five small pimples and in: two or
three hours time spread to the size OF
a silver dollar. 1t spread to her eye.
Then water would run from the PIN
pies and wherever that touched it caus-
ed more sores until nearly all one
cheek and up her nostrils were one
solid sore. She was very fretful. She
certainly was terrible looking child,
and nothing seemed to be of any use.
Then I got some Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. She tried to rub
off everything we put on so that we
would sit and hold her hands for two
hours at time, trying to give the
medicine chance to help her. but
after 1 washed it with Cuticura Soap
and then put on the Cuticura Oint-
ment they seemed to soothe her and
she did not try to rub them of. 1t
was only few days before her face
was all healed up, and there has been
no return of the trouble since. We

Roses at one time figured prom

gone out of favor among western ma

Nor is 1t often that any one city can
look to pair of managers who within
the last ten years have gathered in
eight remnants between them and in
the off years have managed to finish
within the fight only stride or two
from the wire.
These comparative records show
fairly well the quality of Manhattan's
managerial talent for 1918.

Chance-Four pennants, second

Speaking of chickens, a funny man

They are the most dadbusted, un-

to raise chickens at one time or an
other. Looks easy-that's the deceiy-
ing part of it.
And it is easy after you learn one
thing. Little chickens don't know
anything, medium sized chickens don't
know anything. If there is any change

The L.ine-Up.

With Mr.. BurnQuist in the senate
the case was different. 1t would be
idle to deny that there is an active
contingent among the republican SEN
ators who are out of sympathy with
the Lieutenant Governor and the
things he stands for. If the solid
democratic delegation could be in
duced to join with them in insisting
that the senate be permitted to form
its own organization instead of dele.
eating the authority to do so to Mr.
Burnquist, the combination would
have been strong enough TO accom-
plish the purposes it had in mind.
The overtures made to the demo-
cratic senators to induce them to join
the combine were attractive In the
Craftsmanship of committees they were
to be given equal representation with
the republicans, and of the patronage
the senate has at its disposal, and this
is considerable, they were offered the
lions share. 1t is not surprising that
the tenders made were seriously con-
sidered and that a majority of the
democrats were in favor of accepting
them.
A majority, however, wasn't enough.
Unless practically the entire. demo-
cratic senators went into the deal it
was bound to fall through. 1t was,
therefore, with the purpose of lining
all the democratic senators up with
the proposed combine that Senator
Works, who from the first entered
heartily into the movement, called
upon his colleagues to meet in con-
ference at the st. Paul hotel last
Friday afternoon.
