hands They itched and burned so
much that she had to be rubbing them
most of the time. After a while they
broke open and began running to-

gloves whenever she went out.
We tried a half dozen different
remedies and prescriptions, but to no
avail, until one day I received a sam

a large jar of ResinoI Ointment and a

about three nights We discovered a

Will Quit /. C. c. to Take Up Physical
Valuation Work.

Washington. Oct. 13.-Charles A.
PrOuty Will retire in the near future

Gently he decided to resign from the

In 1T9S the little settlement around Fort Schuyler, New York, aspired to the dignity of village charter and the question of a new name arose. A number of the citizens met fin Bagg's tavern to discuss the matter, and 1t was decided to draw lots for the name. each person present to deposit In a hat a slip of paper with his choice written thereon. The first name drawn out was to be the one accepted. Thir- teen slips were deposited, and the first one drawn forth chanced to be that written by Erastus Clark, n man of scholarly interests. as was Illustrated by his choice. He had done honor to his favorite Roman, Cato, by lnscrib- Ing on his slip the home of Cato's ndop- ton in Africa. Thus was Utica. N. N., named.-Ladies' Home Journal.

When Senator James Hamilton Lew Is was practicing law in Seattle he had for a client an old lady who was af- fiicted with asthma. She came four times a year to have the colonel make out her pension papers. The colonel never failed to show n tender solici- tude in her welfare and always re- ceived n wheezy but pleased response.
 One morning when the colonel asked his question about her health the old lady turned to her granddaughter, who accompanied her, and motioned. The girl stood and stared. The old lady wigwagged frantically.. The girl look ed stolidly at her. The old lady wheez- ed and coughed and panted. The girl stared straight before her.

Ancient Rome had its racing and ifs popular and we'll paid jockeys. Ret ting ran high. and the excitement of the people over the races and their favorite color frequently led to blood shed.

UaIy Buckingham Palace.

Buckingham palace provoked charac- teristic expressions of contempt from Mir. Creevy. "The new palace still re- mains the devils own," he wrote in 1928. And in 1885, after he had been over it. he wrote: "Never was there such a specimen of wicked, vulgar pro- fusion. It has cost a million of money, and there is not fault that has not been committed in it. You may be sure there are rooms enough and large enough for the money, but for stair cases, passages, etc. I observed that instead of being called Buckingham palace it should be the Brunswick hos tel. The costly ornaments of the state rooms exceed all belief in their bad taste and every species of infirmity. Raspberry colored pillars without end that quite turn you sick to look nt, but the queens papers for her own apart ments far exceed everything else in their ugliness and vulgarity."-London Spectator.

Connecticut Suffrage News.


 It is uow decided that the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association will hold its annual State Convention in Hartford on Tuesday and Wednesday, October 21 and 22. Up to the end of last week it had been thought that the Convention would be held on the 30 and 3l. The change of date is due to the fact that the speakers desired for the public meeting of the evening of the 21st could not be secured for the later date. These speak CTS are Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, the President of the International Suffrage Congress. and Dean Sumner, of Chicago. Mrs, Catt's name is known wherever the Woman Suffrage movement has been heard of. She is an object of special pride to American suffragists on account of her great popularity with the England and on the Continent of Europe. At the International Congress at Budapest, held last August. she won universal praise for her grace, her tact and ability i'll leading the proceedings of a difficult occasion.
 The sessions of the Convention will be held in Unity Hall, Pratt St., Hartford. Just opposite the hall are the new head quarters of the O. W. s. A., and of the Hartford Equal Franchise League. These quarters though large and roomy, will not furnish sufficient accommodation for all the delegates who are expected to attend the Convention. They will. how ever, serve as an excellent base of supply and also as rest rooms for tired dele gates. The hall will be tastefully decor ated in suffrage colors, and committee to attend to this part of the work has al. ready been appointed.
 It is rumored that Mrs. Pankhurst is to be in Connecticut in November and that she will speak in Hartford on the evening of November 18th. Mrs Plank hurst does not come under the auspices of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association. She is not asking the patronage or help of any American suf frage organization. She states that she is not coming to make suffrage speeches. She is in this country only to tell the story of the suffrage movement in Eng land and to appeal for sympathy for the English women Tn their bitter struggle against the British government, a strug- gle which has been waged at the cost of health and life to so many of the mili. tants. Whether or not people are in sympathy with the movement, curiosity will lead very many men and women to hear to a woman who is very generally accounted the best speaker among the men and women of the present day.
