"At krwt an eruption of email pustule* commenced on my hands. These spread later to other parts of my body, and the itching at times was intense, so much so that I literally tore the skin o(T in shreds in Recking relief. The awful itching interfered with my work considerably, and also kept me awake nights. I tried several doctors and also used a number of different ointments and lotions but received practically no benefit. Finally I settled down J to the Use of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills, with the result that in a few days all itching had ceased ' and in about three weeks' time all traces of my eruption had disappeared. I have had no trobule of this kind since. II. A. KrutskofT, 5714 Wabash Ave., Chicago, 111., November 18 and 28, 1907." Potter Drug &. Chem. Corp., Sole Props, of Cuticura Remedies. Boston. Mass.

J;?* _a Kitu, a? iu utvesi inc legislature of certain authority by it. The feature of the day was a speech of considerable length by Mr. Larriuaga. the Porto Rican commissioner, vigorously oposing the bill affecting the island represented by him, P. and denouncing the executive council or upper branch of the Legislature of a- Porto Rico. lg The bill was pending when the rs House adjourned until Thursday. la Free lumber was handed a knock)(j out in the Senate, Mr. McCumber's >r amendment to the tariff bill placing re lumber, a commodity, cn the free list, in being defeated by a vote of 25 to 56. to The post of minister to China was tendered to John Hays Hammond by President Taft during a conference en at the White House and was definiteIv declined by Mr. Hammond. ln Senator Frazier, of Tennessee, Tuesday received a telegram from ea the attorney of Luther Williams, one of the defendants in the E. D. Jolinie, son lynching contempt case, saying le- that he would voluntarily come to Washington to receive the sentence of the Supreme Court of the United States, and asking that no effort be made to serve the writ of arrest in nl Tennessee. Mr. Frazier thinks that st nil the defendants will pursue that le course and that they will surrender le themselves here, if permitted to do so. The tie-up on the Georgia Railroad 10 because of the striking firemen on that system adds greater concern to officials of the postoffice Department 33 as each day passes. The only inter,t est the department has in the matter ie is the prompt despatch of the mails along that line, and the inability to do so occasions considerable anxiety. Every effort is being made to promptly despatch the mails, when train service is resumed. Reports are coming to the department from business men and others all along the Georgia Railroad, indicating lliat the lack of mail facilities is proving a source of great inconvenience, not to menton business loss. The confirmation of Judge Connor for the Eastern Circuit to succeed Judge Purnell in North Carolina took place Wednesday afternoon. The council of fine arts, created by President Roosevelt, and which was to have charge of the beautification of Washington, to pass upon the designs of government buildings, etc., wfts abolished by President Taft Tuesday in an exeetuive order. This action was required by the last sundry civil bill, which failed to appropriate money for expenses or salaries of any of the commissions, created by President Roosevelt without the consent of Congress. President Taft's cabinet decided Friday that the firemen's strike on the Georgia Railroad was serious enough to demand immediate adjustment and that Chairman Knapp, of the Interstate Commerce Commission and Second Assistant Postmaster General Stewart should go at once to Atlanta.

Some men think the only way to preserve the landmarks is to sit on the fence. "LINES TO A SKELETON." Behold this ruin! 'Twas a skull Once of ethereal spirit full. This narrow cell was life's retreat. This space was thought's mysterious seat. What beauteous visions filled this spot! What dreams of pleasure long forgot! Nor hope, nor joy, nor love, near fear. His left one trace of blood here! "Beneath this mouldering canopy Once shone the bright and busy eye. Yet start not at the dismal void; If social love that eye employed. If with no lawless tires it gleamed. But through the dew of kindness beamed. That eye shall be forever bright, When sun and stars are sunk in night. "Within the hollow cavern hung The ready, swift and tuneful tongue. If falsehood's honey it disclaimed. And when it could not praise was chained; If bold in virtue's cause it spoke, Yet gentle concord never broke. That silent tongue shall plead for ineo When time unveils eternity. "Say, <lid these fingers delve the mine ? Or with its envied rubies shine? To hew the rock or wear the gem Can little now avail for them; But if the page of truth they sought, Or comfort to the mourner brought. These hands a richer meed shall claim Than all that wait on wealth or fame. Where now a cold and crumbling side, A heart once poured its purple tide, If sympathy with human woe And charity controlled its flow; If pure and true in every thrill, We need not mourn that heart is still, Touched to a nobler pulse above, 'Twill tremble with eternal love.

One ingenious man has suggested that the chauffer be fined and the automobile he imprisoned for a stated* number of days! There may be some sense in that, in spite of one's first thought. Certainly many automobilists have overridden public patience entirely and the situation is becoming unbearable. A ghastly number of pedestrians have already been slain this spring, and tIk? total for the season is sure to run very high. The "joy riders" are the chief source of the trouble?chauffeurs who steal their employers' machines out of hours and adventure forth eager to "burn up the pavements." Legislators are passing measures looking to a more stringent license system; in some states a chauffeur who thus jov noes" may be arrested for lar- | eeny. It is rather gratifying to find . that the actual owners of cars them- f selves are seldom so reckless of the . rights of others. Inded, these own- I ers, handed in different automobile J associations, are doing all they can, I by advice and active co-operation, to , remedy the present dangerous con- f ditions. The final remedy of course, a lies in impressing deeply upon the \ minds of autoraobilists a strict sys- * tern of automobile ethics.
