crashed enough to brighten anyone,
so when the phone rang and his
wife's voice TREMENDOUSLY asked:
George, dear. can you come home
right away?" he said. yes" quickly,
nor paused to question. but frantic
with misgivings, grabbed his hat and
almost ran through town to his home.
Arriving all breathless, he found his
wife awaiting him on the porch, her
face the very picture OF distress.

FACE FULL OF PIMPLEs

1910 SO. California Ave-. Chicago, III.
About year ago my face was full
OF pimples and red spots. To sleep
one night without itching was almost
impossible. Some Of the pimples
would get big and red and II l touched
them they would pain. while others
would get white heads on them and
when they broke open some matter
came out. They would burn and itch
and scratched them 30 that some
times they would break and bleed.
That always caused them to be worse.

creams and l found out that they did
me no good. I noticed the Cuticura

HOW FORCES OF THE KAISER
TOOK POSSESSION OF BRUSSELS

backed their steeds into the closely
packed ranks of the spectators, threat
ening them with uplifted swords and
stilling the momentary revolt,
At one point of the march a lame
hawker offered flowers for sale to the
soldiers. AS he held up his posies a
captain Of hussars, by movement OF

from the crowd a French woman, her

Bear In Belgium Uniform.
There was one gross pleasantly, too
perpetrated by gunner, who led
along bear, evidently he pet Of his
battery, which was dressed in the full
regalia Of Belgian general. The bear
was evidently intended to represent
the king. He touched his cooked hat
at inervals to his keeper.
This particularly irritated the Bel
CLANS, but they wisely abstained from
any overt manifestation or any un-
pleasant feature Of behavior.
The soldiers as they passed tore re-
peatedly at the national colors, which
every Belgian lady now wears on her
breast.
Refuse Gold In Payment
A more pleasant incident was when
party OF Uhlans clamored for admit.
lance at q villa on the LOuvain road.
They disposed Of dozen bottles OF
wine and bread and meat. The non
commissioned officer in command
asked what the charge was and offered
some gold pieces in payment. The
money was refused.
Near the steps Of st. Gudule party
of officers Of high rank seated in a
motor car, confiscated the stock OF
the news vendors. After greedily
scanning the sheets they burst into

another to the cats neck. and then

This was finally accomplished and

away. The Wildcat gave a joyful yell
