ERUPTION DISFIGURED FACE

Lock Box 35, Maurice, Ia.-"In the
spring of 1911 our little daughter, age
five years, had a breaking out on her
lip and part of her cheek that we
took for ringworm. 1t resembled a
large ringworm, only 1t differed in
that it was covered with watery bis
ters that itched and burned terribly,
made worse by her scratching It..
Then the blisters would break through
and let out a watery substance. She
was very cross and fretful while she
had it and had very little rest at
night. When the eruption was at its
worst the teacher of the school sent
her home and would not allow her to
attend until the Disagreement of her
face was gone.
Il wrote and received a sample Of
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, which
we used according to directions, and
they gave instant relief, so we bought
some more. 1t gradually grew better.
We kept on using Cuticura Soap and
Ointment and in three or four months
the child was entirely cured"

Looping" Aviator Acquitted.

Mjlan--The result of the action in
which allegations were made against
Pegoud, the famous looping aviator,
was made known here recently.
Pegoud, after an exhibition of fly
ing, sold an aeroplane to Dali Mistro, an
Italian aviator. Immediately after this
one of Pegoud's mechanics, a man
named Freissmuth, made a grave al
legation, against Pegoud. This was to
the effect that after selling the ma
chine Pegvud so tempered with it as
to render flight in it, and especially
a "loopinarthe-loop" effort, a most
perilous performance.
An examination Of the machine is
said to have revealed that something
had been done to 1t, but Pegoud de-
clared that he had only removed a
certain device, which was an invention
of his own, and which in no way i'm
paired the efficiency Of the machine.
He offered to loop the loop" in the
machine to show that 1t was not tam
pered with.
The judge declared that Pegoud's
action in touching the looping machine
after he had soldit to the Italian avia-
tor was open to very serious objection,
but he held that Pegoud had no sinister
intentions and acquitted him of the
criminal charge. W.. II SatFG
FFeissmuth was also acquitted on
the ground that his accusation had
proved materially true.
Dial Mistro, the Italian aviator, has
taken him into his own service.

The speaker, a dramatic critic OF
Chicago, smiled and continued:
THE last time Bob acted here l met
him one morning promenading. And
he was superb-top hat, stick, black
morning coat, spats fitting without a
wrinkle, and one of those cigarette
tubes that had just come out, tube
of gold and amber, a foot long, or pos
sibly Is inches.
"As we chatted, and as he smoked
his Egyptian cigarette through this
extraordinary tube, said to him:
why On earth, Bob, do you use such
long cigarette tube as that?"
MY doctor has ordered me- he re-
piled, to keep away from tobacco"

FOR ALWAYS

Claire listened with serious calm eyes
as her son told his story when he came
home on the day of the new arrival
at the castle. 1t was strange to have
her boy the playmate of the children
Of a noble marquis and of the seigneur
himself. A pang came with the
thought, for IT seemed to separate the
little lad from her. But the grandma
Their had said always and the mother be-
lieved 1t, that the child would not grow
up and live and die placidly in Vicques
as had his ancestors. There was Wild
er destiny before him; had not the
hand, of Napoleon himself laid that
destiny on his baby shoulder? So, like
plenty of other mothers, Claire put
down the selfishness of q longing to
keep her own child, and for the child's
sake walked little way with him on
the road which was to lead him from
her.
1.-THE great gentleman has come who
once saved our seigneur's life!" she re-
peated after Francois. And the seig-
neur Is glad. OF course he is glad, my
Francois, And you ought to be glad,
too. and grateful to that gentleman be-
cause of all the good things our seig-
neur has done for you and which
would not have happened, assuredly,
il Monsieur the Marquis had not saved
him. You should do everything that is
possible for Monsieur the Marquis to
show your gratitude"
+, Francois looked doubtful and a little
depressed. But my mother, can not
do anything for the marquis that / can
think of. He would not like me to
bring him vegetables, 1 think And
Jean Philippe or Pierre, or else the
maids carry tho water 6or him: could
not do that as I could for you. There
are so many people to do things that he

RECOGNIZED WORK OF ARTIST
Negro Quick to Hand Out What
Might Be Called Important Piece
Of Mlsinformation.

Charles r. Knight, the artist, whose
reproductions Of dinosaurs and crea.

over, prefers, however, to be known
as a painter and sculptor of modern
animals. He has worked from the liv-

this has taken him to the ZOOS in
many cities. He was telling his ex-
periences at the zoo in Washington.
"One afternoon an important look

girl" he said. "They stopped for a
minute and looked at the sketch
