Hi* Draw.
A cartoonist who had b.'eu married
only a short while met hoiuo of his old
time boon companions, who induced
him to take a hand In u little game of
draw which kept him out uutil the
wee small hours, ills excuse to his
wife when he got home was that a
pressure of work kept hlui at the of
fice. His wife sympathized with him,
and the uext day. indignantly telling
a friend about how the olUce Imposed
upon her husband, said, "And 1 know
that Fred really didn't want to stay
in the old ottlce and work last night."
"Why. bow do you know?" asked the
friend.
"Because in his sleep Fred said,
'Well. I'll stay, but I don't know what
to draw." "
Forgiveness.
Now bury with the dead years conflicts
dead.
Anil with fresh dayr let all begin anew.
Why longer amid shriveled leaf drifts
tread
When buds are swelling, flowor sheaths
peeping through?
Seen through the vista of the vanished
years
How trivial seem the struggle and the
crown!
How vain past feuds when reconciling
tears
Course down the channel worn by van
Is lied frown!
How fow mean half the bltterneis they
speak!
Words moro than feelings keep us still
apart.
And in the heat of passion and of pique
The tongue Is far more cruel than tho
heart.
Since love alone makes it worth while to
live.
Let all be now forgiven and forgive.
?Alfred Austin.
Two Hit* to Spare.
A baseball game was played In To
poka onco between the married men
and the bachelors.
A man named Flood came to bat.
The pitcher put over a straight one,
and Flood knocked the ball over the
fence.
Instead of starting for first base
Flood braced himself and stood stock
still.
"Run, yon Idiot!" screamed the spec
tators. "Run! Why In blazes don't you
run ?"
"Run?" calmly queried Flood. "What
would 1 run for? I've got two more
clouts at It!"? Saturday Evening Post.
Tho Middle Splash.
"Joe Jobson. a very ignorant and
pigheaded chap, presented himself at
an English village church with his In
fant son for the christening." said a
clergyman. "The following dialogue
then took place between Jobson and
the minister:
" 'What name do you give this child?'
" 'Peter Ananias Jobson.'
"'Ananias? I refuse to christen the
child In that name. Do you know who
Ananias was?'
" 'I don't know who he was, and,
what's more. I don't care.'
" 'But Ananias was the greatest liar
In all Biblical history.'
" 'Well, that's nothing to me. My
baby ain't no liar, so what's the differ
ence? I want him christened Ananias
because I like the sound of It.'
" 'I won't do It. I will christen the
child Peter Jeremiah Jobson.'
"And the minister was as good as his
word, and as he repeated each name
he sprinkled a little water on the In
fant's face.
"'And I rub out that middle splash,'
said the father heatedly. He rubbed
his sleeve across his child's wet face
and sprinkled a little more water over
tt. 'I nib out that middle splash, sub
stitute this one for It and christen him
Peter Ananias Jobson.' And that set
tled It."
When Mark Twain Biographed Satan.
Mark Twain confesses In "Is Shake
speare Dead?" that he was once very
much interested In Satan. He argued
the whole proposition pretty ably with
his Sunday school teacher, who finally
suggested that little Samuel Clemens
should write Satan's biography. The
Idea and the scenario ttiat accompa
nied It were a great shock to that
young Sunday school teacher. He told
the sportive questioner that no one
who ventured to mock at the real bi
ographers of Satan could ever hope to
enter afterward any respectable house.
"IIow true," sn.vs Mark Twalu. "were
his words, and how wise! How for
tunate It would have been for me If
I had heeded them! But 1 was young
? 1 was but seven years of age? and
vain, foolish and anxious to attract
attention. I wrote the biography and
have never been in u respectable house
since."
Bravery.
Fortune disdains mere ability.
Brain is nothing without bravery. The
man who can be thrashed by a sneer
has retreated before he was defeated,
naif the new town halls are gifts
from "blamed fools" who left home
because they couldn't get a sixty horse
power opportunity in a one horse vil
lage.? Herbert Kaufman.
Couldn't Eat Excuses.
A schoolteacher in a rural district
left her boarding place suddenly and
could not be prevailed upon to return.
Her landlady asked the committee to
find out why her boarder had left her,
and to them the young woman said
plainly that the food was so bad she
could not eat It.
This explanation was In turn con
veyed to the landlady, who expressed
the greatest surprise.
"Why." she said, "I don't see how
that could be. I knew the bread was
b*d two or three times, but I was al
ways careful to excuse It."
Lying near the summit of Crow
creek pass the fleshless bones of an
elderly man known as Hunter have
been found by a prospector called
'Blacksmith John." During the
winter of 1906-7 Hunter departed for
Knlk enroute for Seward. He had a
hand sled and carried the usual outfit
for a lengthy mushing trip. As he
neared the summit of what is known
as Crow creek pass, coming up the
Ravon creek side ho met Duke Har
ris ,the intrepid musher, coming from
Seward en route to the Matanuska
coal fields. Harris had crossed the
summit and a severe storm was rag
ing. Ho advised Hunter to pitch
camp and not attempt to proceed fur
ther until the storm abated, saying
that It would be impossible for him
to make the pass. Hunter, however,
paid no heed to the friendly warning,
and mushed on his Journey. This
was the last seen of him in life.
The recent quartz strike In the re
gion of the pass caused a small stam
pede in that vicinity. Among the
stampeders was "Blacksmith John,"
QUICK TO LEARN.
Th? Timid Young Brid? Coached by
Her Hutband.
A young bride who belonged to a
charity club and sometimes had to go
out alone after dork was very much
afraid of belug stopped and robbed.
ITor husband disliked to provide her
with a revolver, but he bought a
punching bag and showed her how to
use her lists and where to place the
most telling blow In case of molesta
tion.
"Below the belt, mind you," he ad
jured her? "below the belt. Such a
blow If properly planted will make a
man sorry quicker than anything. If
any one steps out In front of you your
course will be easy. If he comes up
behind you swing round suddenly and
strike out hard. The robber will re
pent of his evil ways In a hurry."
That night was the bride's late even
ing, and she happened to be coming up
the street just In front of her husband
when he saw her. and the spirit of mis
chief took possession of him.
"Wonder If she'd really do as I told
her or If her little fists wonld hurt
any one?" he pondered.
Two seconds Inter he found out.
' Walking up behind his wife, he laid a
heavy hand upon her shoulder. lie
had no time In which to say anything,
and she made no effort In that direc
tion. She simply obeyed his Instruc
tions to the letter, swinging round
with a suddenness which completely
disconcerted him. and delivered a blow
that made all the rest of bis predic
tions come true.
Then she fled home with the speed
and energy of a frightened deer, not
even waiting to cast n single glance at
the discomfited man who had, as she
supposed, endeavored to rob her. She
passed the remainder of the evening In
alternately weeping out her nervous
| ness upon her husband's shoulder and
' wondering why he looked so pale.

who on Sept. 8th accidentally ran
across the mute evidence of the tra
gedy. The remains of the deceased,
a sled, two guns, two axes and a
camp outfit were found lying about
150 yards from the summit, on the
Raven creek side. It is probable that
Hunter reached th ? sunur'l, found
he could not proceed on account of
the blizzard, and retraced his steps
to the point where the remains were
found. The bones of the lower limbs
were found in a sleeping bag, indicat

frozen to death. The tews waa

Accompanied by Terrible Itching
A Complicated and Most Distress
ing Case? Well-known Remedies
Failed to Cure-Doctor Thought
an Operation Necessary? Then
CUTICURA PROVED ITS
WONDERFUL EFFICACY
"I am now eighty years old and ono
morning, three years ago, I was taken
with a hard pain in my right side. In
two davH I had an attack of piles
(hemorrhoids), bleeding and protruding.
The doctor gave mo sorno medicine and
an ointment for them which helped mo
sorno but I had to keep using them all
the time. Then I changed to the P
remedy; but if I did not use it every
day, I would get worso. The doctor
said tho only help for me was to go to
a hospital and bo operated on. At
this time, about a year ago, I went to
using the S remedies. I tried them
for four or five months but did not get
much help for my piles. During this
time so rets would como on a fleshy part
of my body. They bothered mo all
the time. I would get one healed and
another would come. Theso sores
changed to ix-zema, accompanied by
a terriblo itching. It seemed as if I
could not keep my hands from tearing
my flesh. This and tho pile trouble
brought on an inflamed condition.
Then I got tho Cuticura Remedies. I
washed tho affected parts with Cuticura
Soap and warm water in tho morning,
at noon, and at night, then used Cuti
cura Ointment on tho irritated sur
faces and injected a quantity of Cuti
cura Ointment with a Cuticura" Sup
pository Syringe. I also took Cuti
cura Resolvent Pills three times a day.
It took a month of thin treatment to
get mo in a fairly healthy state and
then I treated myself once a day for three
months and, after that, once or twice a
Vveok. It is fortunate that I used Cuti
cura. The treatments I had tried took a
lot of money that I would have saved by
using Cuticura Remedies sooner, but
I am wiser now. I am supplied with
a full set of tho Cuticura Remedies and
would not feel safe without them.
