for the victory at Corinth. The result
Of this victory was the establishment
Of the power Of the Union In the West.
One week later Memphis fell, ~ It
were. by its own weight. This gave
the Union forces control Of the Missis-
sippi. the only important stronghold
In the Mississippi valley that re-
NAMED secure to the Confederates.
While the people in the North on
this thirtieth Of May were rejoicing
over the victory Of their soldiers at
Corinth and over the results which
they felt would inevitably follow. what
about the people in the South? Nearly
. year had now passed since the vic.
tory Of the Confederate soldiers ut
the battle Of Bull Run. When the news
OF this victory had come to the south
ern people many Of them thought the
war was over. So general was this
impression that many Of the southern
soldiers had gone back to their
homes. thinking that there would be
NO further need Of their services.
The evacuation Of Corinth cast q
gloom over the whole South. but there
still remained with the southern peo-
pie an implicit confidence In the army
Of northern Virginia. which WAS. on
that day. holding Its own In defense Of
Richmond.

HOW TO HEAL STUBBORN
T0RMEMTlNG SKIN DISEASES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes and
similar itching, burning skin troubles
At any reliable druggists get a jar
Of resinol ointment and a cake of resi-
mol soap. These will not cost bit
moro than seventy-five cents. With
the resinol soap and warm water bathe
the affected parts thoroughly, until
they are free from crusts and the skin
is softened. Dry very gently, spread
on a thin layer Of the resinol oint-
ment, and cover with light bandage
If necessary to protect the clothing.
This should be done twice a day. Usu-
ally the distressing itching and burn
ing stop with the first treatment, and
the skin soon becomes clear and
healthy again.-Adv.

HIS WELL-CHOSEM RESPONSE
Old Frenchman's Words, In AcknowI-
edging Gift, We're Certainly Short
and to the Point.

In certain country town there
lived an old Frenchman named Le
Blanc. One night some Of his friends
gave him surprise party and pre-
sented him with watch chain. That
week the local paper printed an ac-
count Of the affair, saying that in ac-
acknowledgement Of the gift Mr.. LIE Blanc
responded in "a few well-chosen
words"
Curious to know what the old
Frenchman said, someone asked the
reporter who was present what those
"well-chosen words" we're.
well, I'll tell you," he answered.
When Charlie finished his presenta-
tion speech and held out the chain,
the old man-who had ben eyeing 1t
greedily all the suddenly
snatched it from his hand and ex-
claimed: Ply chez, dat was good
