Owner Properly Dealt win.

About this time little more than a
hundred years ago in the history OF
boat building at Pittsburgh and down
river there was much complaint of un-
scrupulous work, which brought great
loss to owners on account of the sink
ing of vessels and ruin of cargoes.
An interesting case was tried before
Justice Richardson of Pittsburgh.
whose decision was rendered Noyem-
Der Z, 1907. A boat owned by Mr..
Winchester struck on a rock a few
miles below Pittsburgh, was stove, and
sunk The owner brought suit against
the master, claiming the disaster was
due to his carelessness The master
produced a rotten plank that had been
broken by the impact, and claimed
that had it not been for this the ac-
cident would not have happened. The
master was discharged by the justice,
and Winchester had to lose his boat
and several thousand dollars worth of
merchandise. This and other similar
occurrences led to the appointment of
inspectors, but not until 1912.

HER APPRECIATION OF ART
Visitors Genuine Tribute Must Have
Thrilled the Soul of the
Copying Artist.

1t was about three o'clock, and the
fading light in the art gallery of the
public library was beginning to bother
the painter-woman who faced the sun
set canvas with lumpy palette i'm
paled on one thumb and paint brush
held hesitatingly in the other while
she scrutinized again the intricate
blending of sunset colors and backed
away few steps farther to squint at
the perspective of the old whaler she
was copying as 1t lurched in painted
waves. Details of color blending, of
light and shade, of form after the
fashion of a p, inter's sensitive appre-
citation, undoubtedly filled her mind
Then came humping along the pol
ished floor two other women. They
stood for moment in silence in front
of the sunset picture. One of them
raised a thick beringed hand and
rubbed the canvas with a slow, feeling
rub.
Amt it grand, Nellie" she said.
"An' all hand-painted, too"

Harry Godfrey has a granddaughter
In the three-year-old class. She has

well, you come on into the house.
You've scared us all half to DEATH"
Unwillingly she took granddad's
hand and started toward the house.
Suddenly she broke away and ran
back to the potato row. Pointing her
finger at it as if in command, she said:

LITTERATEUR HARD AT WORK

A Brooklyn drug clerk tells of q
man who came into his shop for the
purpose of consulting the directory.
He stood first on one foot and then on

who had got possession of the volume.
She was nice, leisurely sort of young
person, and she had large sheet of
paper that she spread out upon the
counter beside the directory, and on
which she now and then inscribed a
name from the volume.
The man became little impatient.
He coughed significantly, and the
young woman turned to look at him.
Il beg your pardon she said, but
do you wish to consult the directory"
Now, as the young woman was pref

the other and said uneasily: mo

HOW TO HEAL SKIN
AND SCALP TROUBLES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes, and
similar itching skin and scalp troubles.
At any reliable druggists get jar Of
resinol ointment and cake Of resinol
soap. With the resinol soap and warm
water battle the affected parts thor
oughly, until they are free from crusts
and the skin is softened. Dry very
gently, spread on thin layer Of the
resinol ointment, and cover with a
light bandage. This should be done
twice a day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stops with the
first treatment, and the skin soon be-
comes clear and healthy again.-Adv.
