Tne relatives of the de^d woman and !

LOOK TO THE FUTURE.
And Do Not Let the Past Spoil the
Days That Are to Come.
There Is nothing* more depressing
than dwelling upon lost opportunities
or a misspent life. Whatever your
past has beeu. forget it If it throws
a shadow npon the' present or causes
melancholy or despondency, there Is
nothing in It which helps you, there
Is not a single reason why you should
retain It In your memory, and there
are a thousand reasous why you should
bury it
The future's your uncut block or
marble. Beware how you smite It.
Don't touch It without u programme.
Don't strike a blow with your chisel
without a model. le<t you ruin and
mar forever the angel which lives
within the brock. But the past marble,
which you have carved into hideous
Images which have warped and twist
ed the Ideals of your youth and caused
you Infinite pain, need not ruin or mar
the uncut block before you. This is
one of the merciful provisions that
every day present to every human be
ing, no matter how unfortunate his
past, a new uncut block of pure mar
ble, so that every d?v every human be
ing has a uew chance to retrieve the
past to Improve ui>on it if he will
Nothing Is more foolish, more posi
tively wicked, than to drag the skele
tons of the past, the hideous Images,
the foolish deeds, the uufortunate ex
periences of the past Into today's work
to mar and spoil It. There are plenty
of people who have been failures up
to the present moment who could do
wonders in the future if they could
only forget the past and start anew.?
Success.

was altogether so. sociable and chatty
that an otherwise tedious journey was
rendered quite cheerful. This man's
name was Sackett, and be told Mr.
Emerson that he resided In San Fran
cisco. Mr. Sackett iudlcated all the
points of Interest aloug the way. re
lated a lot of amusing anecdotes and,
best of all, was also an attentlv* lis
tener. The consequence was that Mr.
Emerson came to the conclusion that
Mr. Sackett was as charming a man
as he had ever met, and It was la this
positive conviction that he accepted
Mr. Sackett's Invitation to dine with
fcita immediately upon their arrival In
San Francisco. The next morning Mr.
Emerson was astonished and annoyed

"After having the measles my whole
head and neck were covered with scaly
?ores about as large as a penny. They
were just as thick as they could be. My
hair all came out. I let the trouble run
along, taking the doctor's blood rem
edies and ruDbing on salve, but it did
not seem to get any better. It stayed
that way for about six months; then I
got a set of the Cuticura Remedies,
and in about a week I noticed a big
difference, and in three weeks it was
well entirely and I have not had tho
trouble any more, and as this was seven
years ago. I consider myself cured. I
used one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
one box of Cuticura Ointment, and two
cakes of Cuticura Soap. X think it a
?plendid medicine, and I recommend it
whenever I can. Mrs. Henry Porter,
