FACE COVERED WITH P!MPLES

PA Brevard Ct, Tampa, Fla
Some three years ago l commenced
to suffer from a rash on my face and
back. Before the pimples came on my
face there were a lot Of blackheads. 1t
looked as If the blackheads turned
into pimples because after a little
while al! of them were gone and my
face was covered with pimples. They
were small at first but gradually
grew and right at the end Of each
pimple it was all white. l carelessly
picked them with my finger nails,
which made them spread, and l o o
discovered them on my back. My
back was covered with pimples and
my face the sane way. At night l
could hardly sleep on account Of the
burning and itching sensation they
caused. l did moi like to go out be-
cause the pimples caused disfigure-

Where the Jar Came.

To dig up pieces Of turf while
taking a shot is one of the common
est and worst faults with learners.
These pieces are known as "divots,"
and a player is expected to replace
them. One day a shortsighted old
golfer, who, after six shots, had just
managed to dislodge his ball, was
see to be searching along the
ground.
cts all right, sir; I've found
most of the divots," cried his cad

shortsighted old gentleman. "I'm
looking for my false teeth!"
The contact between his club and
the turf had jerked his teeth out!-

Three years ago, when the French
nation demanded the appointment of Il
generalissimo who would have SUI
preme command of the army in peace
and in war, the a selected was Cen
eral Joseph Joffre. He owes his po-
sition as head Of the army not to po-
litical intrigue or favor. but to the
unanimous votes of the foremost gen
erals in France, comprised in what is
known as the superior council Of war.
Hailing from the Pyrenees, General
Joffre, who is now sixty-one, is a grad
uate Of the Ecole Polytechnique, Paris.
At the g of eighteen he commanded
a battery Of artillery throughout the
siege of Paris. After that war he took
part in the Formosa and Tonkin cam
paigns and later was engaged in West
Africa, directing the construction of
railroads there. He headed the relief
column that went to the assistance of
the BONNER expedition in Africa.
General Joffre also had u share in the
conquest Of Madagascar, Of which he
was governor for three years. Then he
became commander of the Second
army corps and just before his ap-
pointment as generalissimo of the army
was director general of military edu-
| cation, a post for which he IA par
ticularly qualified as n of the best
mathematicians of the army. 1t is al
legged that no French commander
| stands higher in the estimation Of the
war departments at Berlin and St.
Petersburg.

Ratified The umpire.


I Players throughout the American
league live under the impression that
Harry Coveleskie. the Tigers. SOUTH
paw, can be ratified by the persistent
whistling, singing or playing Of "Silver
Threads Among the Gold"
At different times this season oppos-
ing teams have tried to make the big
Pole slip by following up this practice.
They have yet to succeed, but ball
players are persistent individuals.
New York's Highlanders started the
tune when Coveleskie was pitching a
game at Detroit.
All through the first inning they
whlstled and sang and stamped their
feet in accompaniment. A double play
pulled Coveleskie out of a hole in the
first period and in the second the High
landers renewed their efforts.
Through the second inning and into
the third they went
Coveleskie, intent on pitching, paid
no heed.
But behind the bat there was one
person who possessed nerves that were
not attuned to such music. This was
Billy Evans. The leagues best um-
pire finally bawled:

There are not many persons outside
of those on the inside Of the game Of

Of money it requires to establish a

will delve into his personal fortune
for the sake Of gratifying his hearts
desire in the building Of links which
will rank among the best in the Sec

golfers were asked to subscribe $1,000

was first projected at shinnecock Hill,

about the completion OF a course now
ranked as the greatest in the world.

Patent Cats.

A man who really wanted to bene-

cat, a feline which works by clock
work and which has a bellows in
side of it which swells up its tail
and causes sounds which would
awake; an entire neighborhood. The
cats claws are of steel, and when
the animal is wound up and placed
on a roof it is ready to deal death
blows to every midnight prowling
cat in seven blocks. Still another
man was given a patent on a paste
board cat covered with phosphorus,
SO that it shines in the dark and is
to be used for frightening off rats
and mice.

jeweler and bought a ring and left
instructions that in it be engraved
the legend sFrom A. to g." which,
being interpreted, meant from An
thony to Zenobia. To his astonish-

examination found that the jeweler
had put the whole alphabet, from A
