BEAUTY HEIR TO 100000
Mrs. Frances Skinner of Boston, For
mer Shop Girl. Receives Hus-
bands Estate.

Boston.-By the death of her hus-
band, Francis Skinner. on the steamer
Caronia en- route from England to
New York, his widow, formerly Miss
Sadie Carr, Boston shopgirl, becomes
heir to an estate valued at sic, 900, geo.
Mr.. Skinner was a prominent Boston
clubman and yachtsman, and nephew
of Mrs. Jack" Gardner.
Mrs. Skinner, who was a very beau
tiful girl, was one day at Marblehead
with several fair friends, and with
them was admiring the yacht Constena-
ton as she lay at anchor in the har-
Dor. Mr.. Skinner invited the then
Miss Carr and her party aboard, and
the acquaintance began that resulted
in marriage. For several years Mr
SINNERS matrimonial alliance was
frowned on by members of his family,
but a reconciliation came about in due
time.

Oldest WeIshman.

The oldest Welshman IN the world
is Mr.. Thomas Morris, who lives at
WesternviIle, Neb. Although he is
now an American citizen, he was born
a subject of George III, at the little
village of Berriew, Montgomeryshire,
on January 15, 1894. He is therefore
one hundred and twenty years old.
His father was an agricultural la
borer and died when the boy was
three years old. Morris was appren-
ticed to a cobbler and followed his
trade in this country until 1871, when,
at the age of seventy-seven, he emil
grated to America.
The old man is very proud of the
fact that he has lived in three CEN
turtles. He remembers the union of
Great Britain and Ireland, the assassi-
nation Of President Lincoln and the
laying of the first Atlantic cable.
Morris can still walk with the aid
Of a stick and see with the aid Of
spectacles, which he first purchased
after passing his hundredth birthday.
His hearing is good, and he enjoys q
cup of tea or coffee with each meal

All persons who are intimately as

should always be received in cups
containing a five per cent solution Of

833 South Scioto ST., CircleviIle,
Ohio.-"My little girls trouble first
started on her head in bunch of lit
tie pimples full of yellow-looking mat
ter and they would spread in large
places. In a short time they would
open. Her scalp was awfully red and
infamed and the burning and itching
were SO intense that she would scratch
and rub till it would leave ugly sores.
The sores also appeared on her body,
and her clothing irritated them so
that I had to put real soft cloth next
to her body. She would lie awake of
nights and was very worrisome. At

pound the aches and pains are all gone

praise your medicine too highly. Mrs.
AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre Hill, Pa
It is true that nature and a woman's
work mas produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkhan,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more eficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham' 8
Vegetable Compound is recogniz e d
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for Woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health many of them openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved them
from surgical operations.

FULL OF ODDITIES
Channel Islands oueerest Part of
the British Isles.
Owing to It's Remarkable Climate
Flowers and Plants indigenous to
Southern California Will BE
Found There in Winter.

I,ondon.-The Channel islands are
fuller Of oddities and enachrOnisms
than any other part of the British
Isles, which is saying a good deal. The
very climate is an anomaly> You find
there in winter the flowers and plants
that you see in Florida or Southern
California-pampas grass, palmc, euca-
lyptus, magnolias. You may see three
story houses hidden beneath blossom
ing vines. When London and New
York are deep in CHOW or slush, you
may see acres and fields of jonQuilG
and narcissus, tossing their golden
locks in the breeze. This remarkable
climate arises partly from the Gulf
stream, and, in the case Of Jersey,
partly from the coniguration OF the
island, which slopes from high cliffs
on the North down to sea level on the
South, shutting OF cold winds and
making of this little territory a kind
Of forcing bed.
Jersey is famous for five products
cattle, fruit, flowers, potatoes and cab
bages. The Jersey cattle need no one
to speak their praise. The fruits and
flowers you may buy, if rich enough,
and if not you may admire through
the windows of the exclusive shops Of
Regent street and Bond street. Nest

SUCCEEDS IN CANADA

An interesting and successful Ameri-
can farmer, Lew Palmer, Of Staveley,
Alta, passed through the city today.
Mr.. Palmer came from Duluth, Mimi,
just ten years ago, and brought with
him four cows and three horses-and
that was his all. He homesteaded in
the Staveley district, and today has
$50 acres of land, $4,000 worth of i'm

AS for the cabbages, what does the
reader say to cabbages on stalks eight
or ten feet high? He will probably
say that they cannot be the ordinary
rotund vegetables that go by that
name; yet they are. I suppose it is
the climate and soil that make them
go to such lengths, or perhaps the
vraic. Whatever it is, should like to
bring them to the notice of Luther
Burbank, and he might evolve a cab

head in proportion. 1t would be mag
nif1cent for shade purposes, too.
