Resinol is a doctor's prescription which proved so successful for eczema, ringworm and other Itching, burning, unsightly skin eruptions, that it has been U6cd by other physicians all over the country for ( eighteen years. No other treatment for the skin now before the public can show such a record of professional approval. In a single month, two hundred and twenty-one doctors wrote us indorsing the Resinol preparations. They would not have done so if they had not found them highly valuable in their own practice. They prescribe Resinol freely, confident that its soothing, healing action is brought about by agents so bland and gentle as to be suited to tho most delicate skin?even of a tiny baby. T)i?

Its Origin. Miss Elsie De Wolfe, is one of the reception-rooms of the Colony club, was talking about the new servant trust. "It originated in the Philippines," she said, "among the army servants there. It traveled west to Honolulu. It is now spreading, they say, on to San Francisco. "This coming trouble reminds me of a story. " 'Who originated the proverb about r*y a rolling stone gathering no moss?' one man asked another. "The other man quietly replied: " 'That, my dear fellow, is a quotation from an eloquent but vain appeal to a suburban cook to stay on one month more." Answer to Query. The act of uplifting the hand during the taking of an oath is so ancient that it would be futile to even attempt to say when it started. Homer attempts to say when it started. Homer mentions it as common among the Greeks of his time, and it is also found In the earliest Hibliral time. For instance, Abraham, the father of the Jewish people, says: "1 have lifted up my hard to Jehovah," showing that even at that remote period the prac1^, tico was existent. It was from the B Jews, of course, that the practice found its way into Christendom, where It has ever since held its place in ju| dlcial trials. I The Difference.

Seat. * By WALTER JAMES DELANEY. b, "You did us a good turn once. Doc. dt We intend to return the compliment." ai Young Dr. Hector Fairbanks smiled Bi pleasantly but inquiringly?in fact, al- pi most suspiciously. The speaker was Dan Kabbitt. As he stood garbed in th his rude Tennessee mountaineer's cos- ei ture, two holsters at his belt, Btrength, independence and grit showing in pi duuhk iiuiainfm 01 ins iace, tne M doctor did not marvel that lie had been made the leader of the famous bl "Midnight Riders." h< It was a raw district, that of which the young physician had been a real- re dent for about a year. There were in two principal points iu tlio county? ct Ridgeford and Prlncevllle. It was at th the former town that Dr. Fairbanks ai had taken up his abode. The two m places were only five miles apart, and Di the "safety zone," us it was called, encircled them for an area of about d( twenty miles. Thence to the south of th Princeville was a mountainous stretch si Infested by rough moonshiners known as the llreckitt clan. The same condl- hi tion prevailed south of Ridgeford. of where Dan ltabbitt and his "Midnight Ti Riders" held full sway. A broken th ridge divided the two districts, the re- m Bpective rights and privileges of which were jealously guarded by either com- al tnunity. M For years a small but solidly built in structure located just on the townBliip b? line at a little settlement called Pry- al an had been the register's office of the a] county. All the official business of the bi district was carried on there, and to there the county records were kept, rc One night the Rreckitt raiders, wiping in out a fancied insult from the main In residents of the place, "shot up" thu at settlement, set fire to what little there was of it, and every structure in Pry- 01 an was consumed except the register's tl office. pi The state authorities were advised ci Df this outrage and ordered a special b< election. Tho votes of the county , st .jjj ?j ''' " ' t "That Ought to Please You." 0 were to decide upon a now site for the register's office, with a view to locating it in a less isolated locality where its records could he protected. A cen- ^ tral point was necessary, and the K choice designated was between Ridge- t] ford and PrincevUle. It was an uproarious occasion. The a election was held at Bryan. The Hreckitts appeared en masse, mounted and armed. So did the "Midnight Rid- a ers." Their leaders grouped their men w near the office to "protect" it and prevent fraud. About noon the indica- t| tions were that the votes were favor- s ing Princeville. At the close of the ^ polls, however, it was announced that j, Ridgeford had carried the day by just y three votes. Then pandemonium broke ;t loose. j, Jed Hreckitt declared that the ballot v box had been stuffed. I)an Rabbitt proceeded to seal it and hand it over c to the sheriff for safekeeping. Some 0 one started a row. There was a shot, a general melee, and one of tho old- ^ time clan battles ensued. Now, three days later, Dan walked into the office of Dr. Fairbanks with the words that begin our story. Tho favor which the young physician had done to which Dan alluded j was an exigency cnll for attendance on t| a wounded friend for whom the offi- t( cers were looking. He rode twenty j miles amidst all the perils of a dark. t] stormy night, saved the lifo of the refugee, braved a stray shot from tho ^ watching Hreckitts and won the undying gratitude of I>an. "1 thought I would come and tell you how things stood about the registry office." continued the young outlaw leader. " "Why, the election has settled that tl matter,'' observed Dr. Fairbanks. ti "Not by a long shot!" dissented it Dan vigorously. "An election isn't much in this county. Jed Hreckitt 1< realizes that and, we have accidentally ti learned, has sent for a house inov- tl ing outfit to lug the register's office, | records and all, over to Princeville." j "You amaze me!" exclaimed the o young physician. t! "Just let them get that building over b I to Princeville," continued Dan, "and tl we'll never get It back. The Hreckitts count on claiming fraudulent votes, o They'll throw the case Into the courts' tl id grab the records. I've come to pet S >ur help. I want you to quietly get lout fifty of tho residents here who in be depended on, ready to act with j _ y crowd tomorrow night." S n what way?" inquired the doctor. 1 _ ? _ A % _ Al. ^ ?v?u ii miuw wuen me nine comes, p oc. If your crowd will stand by us idgeford will get the records. That (( ight to please you. It gives us the lj >unty scat, it brings people here, it lilds up the town and your business, ?esn't it? Besides that, you'll have ^ 1 interest in knowing that once the reckitts get the register's office, new , x>plo will be put in control. "1 see," nodded the doctor, seeing t ib light indeed, and looking a trifle j nbarassed. ^ "There's old Doliver and his gal?esscially the gal, bless her pretty eyes! mb Dora?" j "Yes. yes," interrupted the doctor, ^ ushing furiously. "1 feel it a duty to ;lp you." Old Jonathan Doliver had been the igistrar of the county from time imeinorial. His daughter Dora was his lief clerk. It meant a good deal to lem, this county seat imbroglio. Hedes that, l)r. Fairbanks, in the ver- J Lcular of the district, was "courting" , ora. t "You people mako a stand here," or. jred Dan to the doctor and his party j le next night. "If we need you we'll glial." v Dan and his men had eight horses tched to an enormous flat drag, made J ! strong timbers and chained solidly. ^ hey ascended the hill laboriously. As ^ ley reached its summit nearly every an broke out into a yell. Danterns were flashing, men moving >out. They had been anticipated. I oved about fifty feet from its origal site, there was the registry office ling slowly and cautiously dragged ong the top of the ridge. A moving j jparatus with a windless operated ^ r horses was evading a dipping slant i i get the building to the flat, level x ..-1 ~ n-f ? - * ? iau li:uuill(j 10 1IIC. .Ml III!- ^ en so rope cable, taut and straining, ^ ?ld the grout drag on which the ; ructuro tilted dangerously . "Change 'em!" ordered Dan at j ace. "Leave the rest to me," and T ten, as his men drove into the un . [ ?pared Brackitts, Dan sprang to the * lble. his bowie knife in hand, and ( egan backing at it. * "IaooU out?she's coining!" his , renuous voice thundered out. The startled and amazed contingent ( :d by Dr. Fairbanks witmssed a u-aril spectacle, as down the steep hillde tho heavy, clumsy structure came , urtling. It toppled from grade to j rude, then three hundred feet below . t the edge of the road it landed with j crash, a mere kindling wood wreck. There were shots overhead, then ley ceased, and then the voice of Dan abbitt was hoard distinctly: ( "We are two to one, you fellows. , ' it's a fight, come on?but no scrim- , lage. The registry office is over on ] ar side of the township line now, nd we're ready to defend our rights.'' , The Breckitts made off sullenly, an came down with horses and drag. , "Pick up the splinters, boys," he orered. "Take special care cf those , on record boxes. "Doc." and he ] iwered his tone to a chuckling whis- | er, "I reckon that sweet Deliver gal ] 111 keep her position a little longer, ti??until you give her a life-long ono i that new home of yours."
