 McQuillan's return to the National league was July s, when he replaced Howard Camnitz with the Philhes ahead. He worked two innings and was not found for a tally.

WHITE PIMPLES ON HEAD

Ransom, Iu.-s"The trouble started
on our baby when he was only about
two weeks old. Started like little
white pimples, looked like an old scab
of blood and matter. His whole head
was covered for a few months, then it
went to his ear, shoulders, and his
whole body. It seemed to come out
thick and sticky on his head while
on the other parts of his body it was
more like water coming out Of the
skin. He would scratch until the erup-
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread. The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed, spread and itch. Never had a
full nights sleep, restless all night.
The sores were hOrrid to look at.
It lasted until he was about two and
half years old. Then we saw an &C.
Zema advertisement in the paper to
use -, but it did no good Then
we used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. We put the Cuticura Clint
ment on thick at bed time and put a
tight hood on so he could not scratch
the sores. Then we washed it clean
with Cuticura Soap and warm water
twice day, and he was completely
cured" (Signed) Mrs. E. F. Sulzber-
ger, Dec. so, 1911.

Did you get the document"
NO, We failed" said Louise, and I
do not know what in the world l am to

the afternoon. Crandan thought it
advisable to find the place by day
light. We ran the automobile up the
lane that leads to this place and crept
through the thicket until we came in
sight Of the cottage There were two
men moving about in the cottage,
Young and another man whom Mr..
CTandall told ne was the postmaster
at Ardway. He seemed surprised at
the presence of the postmaster. We
watched for half, an hour and then
took the automobile back to a little
hotel about three miles away from Ard
way. For some reason, Mr.. Crandall
did not want to stop in ArdWay"
81 guess l was the reason" l re
piled. But when did you return
here?"
We had dinner at the little hotel,
and as soon as it was dark, started
back for the cottage. When we al
rived We found a light in the window
and saw Young there in a stupor just
as you see him. The other man was
nowhere around. After trying to
awaken Young, without success, Mr.
Crandali searched his clothes, but
there was nothing in any of his peck
cts. He even felt all the seams, and
took off his shoes in search of the pa
per we wanted, but it was nowhere on
him. He ransacked the cottage as well
as was possible in this dim light, but
could not find any suggestion of a
hiding-pIace. Out in the little shed
that serves as a kitchen he found a
slip on which was written a list of
eatables-bread, milk, eggs and such
things. We decided from this that the
other man-Rouser, l think Mr.. Gran
dali had said his name was-had gone
to some neighb0ring farmhouse OF
store to lay in supplies and probably
would soon return. Mr. Crandall sug
gested our hiding in the bushes until
his arrival, and We did so. We had
hardly taken our place behind the
bushes-before we heard him coming

rest is so mixed up I don't know just
what happened. l heard shots and felt

Juvenile remarks are not always so

Shopping Instinct.

A rural postmaster tells this story
of one of the patrons of his Office, a
boy of thrifty, not to say penurious,
stock. When the lad comes into the
postofffce he will thrust his wizened
face up close to the window and, in
his slow, Yankee drawl, inquire most
earnestly:
''Hev ye got any postal cards?"
Yes the postmaster replies.
''Haow much be they t'day?"
"A cent apiece"
Then the boy, screwing up his eyes
in the intensity Of his thought over
the question he has to decide, always
stops for a while to weigh the con-
sequences. Finally, he will reply sol
