Canine NewsdeaIera.

Two Chicago dogs-an Irish terrier
and a water spaniel-the property Of
successful newsdealer of that city,
are proving themselves very useful to
their master. II the latter goes to
lunch, or has to leave his stand for a
time, the two watchful animals sell
newspapers for him. Rex" the Irish
terrier, perches himself on the stand
and grips between his teeth big GALA
bash pipe and a copy of a newspaper.
while Brownie" his partner, takes up
his position on little soapbox beside
the stand and holds in his teeth a lit
tie plug" hat for the safekeeping of
the pennies. When a passerby buys a
paper Brownie" sits up to receive the
coin. Both of the dogs seem to have
a fierce as well as a sharp eye to bust.

Whv Willie Was Left,

Mayer Hunt of Cincinnati said Of

His hands ..e tied He can do
nothing. He is like Willie in the
Christmas game of snapdragon.

ECZEMA ITCHED AND BURNED

R. F. D. No. s, Mary vile. Tenn
My baby, when three months old,
took eczema on his face and head.
His head and one side of his face
were almost in a solid sore. The &C.
zema at first was kind of rash and
then it broke out in water pimples
and they would burst and looked very
badly. 1t would itch and burn so bad
ly that he could not rest at all and
his hair just all fell out at once till
his head was perfectly bald. He could
not sleep at night and was very cross.
Il tried remedies without any relief
at all: he only got worse all the time
until l used Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment. He had great relief the first
application. He was soon cured and
his hair began to grow back and nov
he has just beautiful fine hair and
has no sign of eczema" (Signed)

Substitute for Menu Card.

Roman emperors who Toasted copi-
ously and sumptuously had no menu
card, so they often spoiled their en-
joyment of a banquet by eating too
much of one dish and passing over
something they specially liked. Ac-
cording to Montaigne, one of the Ro-
man emperors, while ignorant OF
menu cards, devised an order for serv.
ing dishes which enabled him roughly
to foretell what was coming next:
"Geta the emperor would have all his
messes or dishes served in at his ia.
BILE orderly. according to the first let
tiers of their names; as for example
those that begin with p, as pig, pike
buildings. pouts, porke. pancakes. etc.
were all served together. and SO of all
the rest"
