"I have been afflicted for twenty years with an obstinate skin disease, called by some M. D.'s. psoriasis, and others leprosy, commencing on my scalp; and in spite of all I could do, with the help of the most skilful doe tors, it slowly but surely extended un til a year ago this winter it covered my entire person in the form of dry scales. For the last three years 1 have been unable to do any labor, and suffering intensely all the time. Every morning there would be nearly a dust. panful of scales taken from the sheet on my bed, some of them half as larg as the envelope containi-ng this letter In the latter part of winter my skin commenced cracking open. I tried everything, alme-st, that could be thought of, without any relief. The 12th of June I started West, in hopes I could reach the Hot Springs. I reached Detroit and was so low I thought I should have to go to the hospital, but finally got as far as Lan sing, Mich., where I had a sister liv Ing. One Dr. -.-- treated me about two weeks, but did me no good. Al thought I had but a short time to live I earnestly prayed to die. Crackec through the shin all over my back across my ribs, arms, hands, limbs; feet badly swollen; toe-nails came off; flnger-nails dead and hard as a bone: hair dead, dr.t and lifeless as ok straw. 0 my Ood! how I did suffer. "My sister vouldn't give up; said 'We will try Cr~ticura.' Some was ap plied to one hsaid and arm. Eureka! there was relile; stopped the terribIb burning sensaion from the word go They inimeditely got Cuticura Re solvent, Oint.ient and Soap.

It caused quite an ex cliteient among the (log owners, as many of them had dogs good for noth Ing except for pets. So the next year an article was In serted in the town warrant to repeal the dog law. All interested attended the meeting. When Mr. W. came home his clil dren, who had a pet dog, met him, eager to hear the result. Mr. W. said: "Well, boys! they have repealed the dog law." Little Tommie, four years old, catchiig the words from his father and etering into the spirit of the oe casion, rushed in to where his grand pa sat reading, and shouted: "Grand pa, they have peeled the law dog!" "Have what?" asked grandpa. "They have peeled the dog." "What did they do with the peel ing?" asked the grandpa. "Don't know. I'll ask papa," and he legged it for the door. "Papa, what did they do with the dog-peels?" "Burled them," said papa, laughing. Tommie rushed back. "They put um on berries, grandpa!" "What (id they do with the ber ries?" asked grandpa. "Et umn, I s'pose!" said Tommie, thoughtfully. Wanted Too Much. 'lhe hansom ordered by a middle aged slInster was late, and the cabby caie in for a good rating when he finally drove up to tho door. "I shall probably miss my train," the irate "fare" informed him, "and I shall hold you responsible. I want. to know your name, my man. Do you understand? I-want-your-name!" Tho driver clucked up his horse easily. "You'll make your train all right, madam," he assured the woman Inside. "And I'll let you have me number if you like. liut you can't have me name. That's promised ter another young lady." Just Then the Tea Bell Rang.
