Lecturer Found It No Trouble at All
to Answer Question Meant to
Embarrass Him.
“Will you allow me to ask you a
question?” Interrupted a man In tbs
audience.
“Certainly, sir,” said the lecturer.
“You have given us a lot of figures
about Immigration, Increase of wealth,
the growth of trusts and all that,”
said the man. "Let’s see what you
know about figures yourself. How do
you find the greatest common di-
visor ?”
Slowly and deliberately the orator
took a glass of water.
Then he pointed his finger straight
at the questioner. Lightning flashed
from his eyes, and he replied, In a
voice that made the gas Jets quiver:
“Advertise for it, you ignoramus!"
' The audience cheered and yelled m0nths.
and stamped, and the wretched man
who had asked the question crawled
out of the hall a total wreck.

CURE THAT SORE THROAT MIKE HAD A KICK COMING
“Who is that man,” asked the new
boarder, “who is making such a fuss
because he has swallowed a fish-
bone?”
“That’s the sword swallower at the
dime museum around the corner.”
Sore throat is inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the throat, and
if this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive a predisposition to fiore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a
preventative and a cure for sore
throat because. it possesses extraor-
dinary cleansing, healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just a little in a glass
of water, used as a gargle, will quick-
ly relieve all soreness and strengthen
the mucous membrane of the throat,
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat.
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an-
tiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store, 25 and 50c a box, or sent
1 postpaid upon receipt of price by The
Paxton Toilet Co., Boston, Mass.

John R. Newcomer at the city hall.

him,” said the Judge.
The man is Arthur Atherton, twenty-
four years old. Though five feet high,
he weighs only thirty-eight pounds.
He married Blanche Buckley, nineteen
years old, who weighs 136 pounds.—

The Man Who Cued the Widow.
A SL Louis man is suing a widow
for $100,000 for refusing to marry

built with money earned by another
man.—Houston Post.
“Some time ago I was taken with
eczema from the top of my head to
my waist. It began with scales on my
body. I suffered untold itching and
burning, and could not sleep. I was
greatly disfigured with scales and
crusts. My ears looked as if they had
been most cut ofT with a razor, and
my neck was perfectly raw. I suffered
untold agony and pain. I tried two
doctors who said I had eczema In Its
fullest stage, and i that it could not
be cured. I then tried other rem-
edies to no avail. At last, I tried a set
of the genuine Cuticura Remedies,
which cured me of eczema when all
else had failed, therefore I cannot
praise them too highly. ,
“I suffered with eczema about ten
months, but am. now entirely cured,
and I believe Cuticura Remedies are
the best skin cure there is.” (Signed)
Miss Mattie J. Shaffer, R. F. D. 1, Box
8, Dancy, Miss., Oct. 27, 1910.
"I had suffered from eczema about
four years when boils began to break
out on different parts of my body. It
started with a fine red rash. My
hack was affected first, when it also
Bpread over my face. The itching Jas
almost unbearable at times. I tried
different soaps and salves, but nothing
seemed to help me until I began to
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
One box of them cured me entirely. 1
recommended «them to my sister for
her baby who was troubled with tooth
eczema, and they completely cured her
baby.” (Signed) Mrs. F. L. Marber-
ger, Drehersvllle, Pa., Sept. 6, 1910.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold everywhere, a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to “Cuti-
cura,” Dept. 4 L, Boston.
No Luck.
“I never do have any such luck an
the other boys!” complained young
Harold.
“Why, I am surprised!” answered
his mother. “You have roller skates,
a bicycle, a football suit, and a ticket
to the gymnasium. Some boys would
think themselves verj lucky if they
had those things.”
“Yes, but Willie Swaddling’s house
burned down, and he helped to save
things! Tom Anderson’s house was
robbed, and he heard the burglar!
And Jack Turner Is sick, and the
neighbors are carrying ice cream and
stuff to him.”
For sixteen years Mike Flynn had
cleaned out the town hall after shows,
lectures, political meetings, Decora-
tion day exercises and other doings,
and never a complaint did he make.
Recently, however, he fancied he had
a kick coming, and he went into the
mayor’s office to register it. "What is
it, Mike?” asked the mayor. “It’s j
about the hall, yer honor. The byes
stand up in the rear, they do, an’ they I
chew an’ spit durin’ the intire perform-
ance. An’ not a wurrud would Oi say,
yer honor, if they wohld spit out on
the flure where Oi could git at it, but
—the varmints—they would spit all
over the legs of the chairs in the
the back row, an’ on the places where
the chairs do be fastened to the flure, J
an’ hard work it is fer a man of me •
age to stoop down an’ s.crub it off.
There’s a favor Oi would be askin’ of
yer honor this mornin’ in respict to
It” “What is that, Mike?” “Indade, |
Oi would ask yer honor fer permis-
sion and authority to do away with I
the back row of seats entirely. Nobody
likes to sit in the back row anyway,
yer honor, an’ sinceless it is to have
one in the hall at all.”—Kansas City
Star.

Work for Extinction of Tuberculosis.
Exhibitions showing in graphic form
the prevention of consumption have
been shown in every state in the
United States, except Nevada, Arizona,
New Mexico and Wyoming, and also
in most of the Canadian provinces and
in Mexico, Porto Rico and Cuba, ac-
cording to a statement made by the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis. There
are now 25 states and 16 cities hav-
ing permanent and traveling exhibits
besides the two operated by the Na-
tional association itself, and the total
number of similar displays is over
200, including about 150 small school
exhibits. The first tuberculosis ex-
hibit in America was shown by the
Maryland Tuberculosis commission in
January, 1904. In 1906 there were
foui* such exhibits.

Honors More Than Even.
Mrs. Patrick Campbell Is not kindly
Inclined to criticism of her work. At
a rehearsal of a new play, one morn-
ing, her manager, Charles Frohman,
stopped Mrs. Campbell and said: "Mrs.
Campbell, It seems to me that those
lines should be delivered thus,” repeat-
ing the lines In question. Mrs. Camp-
bell drew herself up and said: “Mr.
Frohman, I am an artist.” “That is all
right, Mrs. Cajnpbell,” replied the ur-
bane manager. “I assure you I will
never reveal your secret.”
