BABY’S AWFUL HUMOR.

Doctor Struck It Rich.
A wealthy New York banker/ while
visiting his parents in a small town,
was stricken with fever. For three
months he was confined in the old
homestead, dutifully attended by a
fond mother and a very zealous doc-
tor.
The banker recovered slowly. One
morning he decided that fresh air
would do more for him than medical
environment, and in a short time he
was enabled to dismiss his physician.
When the doctor’s bill arrived the
banker studied it very closely. J A few
moments later the mother saw her son
go to the woodshed, procure an ax
and begin hewing at the hitching
post, which had stood in front of the
house for 50 years.
“Frank!” she shouted hysterically,
believing her son in another delirium,
“what are you doing?”
“You’ll have no further use for it,”
chuckled the perspiring banker, “here-
after the doctor will come in an au-
tomobile.”
Those Courteous Dons.
“I read in a southern newspaper
about the passengers who hail from
Georgia,” remarked a traveler. “Per-
sonally, I have never met the simon-
pure Georgian, but I know a set of
men that can beat even them for po-
liteness. They are the high-class'
Spaniards who are accustomed to
traveling.
“Just watch a man of that type and
you will find he invariably bows to
the rest of the passengers upon enter-
ing and leaving a car. Such extreme
courtesy impresses the rushing, push-
ing American crowd as a sure pass-
port to an insane asylum. The Span-
iard, for his part, is convinced that
the noise and bustle will land the
American contingent in the same
place, and in spite of ridicule ho
perseveres in his habit of bowing.”—
N. Y. Press.

Pathos.
“There was a great deal of pathos
in that play you put on last season.”
“Yes,” answered Mr. Stormingtori
Barnes, “and what is particularly un-
fortunate, most of it was in the box
office.”
Thin Skin Formed Over Body and Un-
der It Was Watery Blood—Cured in
One Week by Cuticura Remedies.
“When my little girl baby was one
week old she had a skin disease. A
thin skin formed over her body and
under it was watery blood, and when
she was washed it would burst and
break. She was in that condition for
weeks, and I tried everything I could
think of, but nothing did her any
good. When she was three months
old I took her to San Antonio to see
a doctor, but the doctor we wanted to
see was not at home, so my sister
gave me a cake of Cuticura Soap and
half a box of Cuticura Ointment, and
told me to use them, which I did in
time. I used them three times, and
the humor began to fade, and in one
week she was sound and well, and it
has never returned since. I think
every mother should keep the Cuti-
cura Remedies in the house. Mrs.
H. Aaron, Benton, Texas, July 3,
1905.”

**lM>le to Command Sleep.
With Georges Clemenceau, the new
French premier, sleep is a mere mat-
ter of volition, in which facility he re-
sembles Gladstone and the great Na-
poleon. He drops off to sleep at any
odd moment—in his private carriage
iand even at meetings- of the cabinet
whefr only routine matters are under
consideration. This ability to go to
sleep' when and how he pleases is. the
secret of his tremendous ability as a

SICK HEADACHE
Women’s Pains
“I was a total wreck/’ writes Mrs. Beulah
p* Rowley,.of Champoeg, Oregon, “from pains I had
suffered, for 4 years, every month. Sometimes I
would be unconscious for 12 hours at a stretch. I
did not know that anything could stop the pain
entirely^ but Wine of Cardui did; . I advise all
women suffering with painful periods to use Car-
dui and be relieved.” C -

Improved Wireless Telegraphy.
Paris newspapers report that M.
Maiche, a well-known inventor, has
made a sensational discovery in the
field of wireless telephony. His new
apparatus consists of two posts which
are placed in his premises. Each post
consists of a telephone battery, a spe-
cial form of induction coil and a frame
which is formed of a series of insu-
lated wires. One post is placed in the
garden and a second one in a room in
the building some distance off, about
100 feet, and several walls, doors and
windows come between - the posts.
Conversation can be carried on easily
and the sound is clear.
