Mrs. Letter was In court and until
the session formally opened stood
close to the prisoners box with her
arm about her husbands neck and
his hand upon her shoulder. They
conversed In a low tone until the
Judge took his seat.
There seemed to be little feeling
against Letter among the spectators
who filed the court room. 1t was
frequently remarked what an intel

how unlike man with criminal in

NO DOUBT THAT RESIN0L
DOES STOP ITCHING

1t is a fact that the moment resinol
ointment touches itching skins, the
itching stops and healing begins. With
the aid OF resinol soap, It almost al
ways clears away all trace Of eczema,
summer rashes, pimples, or similar tor
menting, unsightly eruption quickly,
leaving the skin clear and healthy.
And the best Of 1t is you need never
hesitate to use resinol soap and resi-
mol ointment. Reslnol is doctors
prescription which for twenty years
has been used by careful physicians
for many kinds Of skin affections
They know that It's soothing, healing
action is brought about by medication
so bland a7d gentle as to be suited to
the most delicate or irritated skin.
Resinol ointment and resinol soap are
sold by all druggists.-Adv.

COLDS SIREN LURE FOR MEN
Hardship and Death Dared by Thou
sands That They May Gain
Riches Quickly.

It was in 1898 that the rush of gold
seekers to the Klondike reached its
food. The ninety-eighters probably
never will know the fame of the forty
miners, but they have a place in the
long history of the gold hunters, the
men Of all nations, ancient, medieval
and modern. The book has hundred
chapters telling of failure and of death
to every one lightened with the story
of success.
H. M. Cadet recently visited the
Klondike, and there made a study of
present conditions. He describes them
and adds an interesting account of the
early day rush to the Northwest terri
tory. The Smithsonian institution has
put Mr. Cadets report into print. It
Is an interesting document. Some of
the happenings in the Klondike were
duplicates of like happenings in Cali
fornia and Australia during the first
years of the surface washing in those
fields. These Implications show that
human nature is unchanging.
Men went to the Klondike daring
hardship and death that they might
get rich quick. Some of the gold
seekers were quickly successful. A
large percentage of the successful
ones almost literally threw their mon.
ey away. Easy come, easy go. This
sort Of thing has marked gold min
ing in all ages. The Klondike is not
what it was, but human nature stays
the same. The discovery of gold at
the North pole would start a north
ern migration that would take no &C.
count of the insuperable obstacles of
distance and cold. The lure is ire
sistible.-Chicago Post.

WILL AERoPLANES STOP WAR
orrVille Wright Is Moved to Say He
Likes to Think So,
Anyhow.

Did you ever stop to think that
there is very definite reason why the
present war in Europe has dragged
along for a year with neither side
gaining much advantage over the
other? The reason, as figure 1t out,
is aeroplanes, Orville Wright writes
In Golfers. In consequence Of the
scouting work done by the flying ma
chimes, each side knows exactly what
the opposition forces are doing.
There is little chance for one army
to take another by surprise. Napoleon
won wars by massing his troops at I'M
expected places. The aeroplane has
made that impossible. 1t has equal
lied information. Each side has such
complete knowledge of the others
movements that both sides are obliged
to crawl into trenches and fight by
means of slow, tedious routine rather
than by quick, spectacular dashes.
My impression is that before the
present war started the army experts
expected 1t to be a matter of a few
weeks or, at most, few months. Today
1t looks as If 1t might run into years
before one side can dictate terms.
Now, nation that may be willing to
undertake war lasting few months
may well hesitate after engaging in
one that will occupy years.
The daily cost of great war is of
course stupendous. When this cost
runs on for years the total is likely to
be so great that the side which wins
nevertheless loses. War will become
prohibitively expensive. And the
scouting work in flying machines will
be the predominating factor, as 1t
seems to me, in bringing this about.
like to think so, anyhow.

an interview last week: People
should own and read books just as
they should seek friendships, and try
to understand their friends. A book
that one has come to know, and to
love, is one of the truest Of friends.
In my library in Maine are not many
books, but none the less Lincoln walks
there with me; Emerson is my friend;
Balzac and Dumas are permanent
dwellers at my side; frolic with
Mark Twain there; l travel with o.
