That our American forests abound in f, plants which possess tho most valuable j' medicinal virtues is abundantly attested by scores of the most eminent medical writers And teachers. Ever* the untutored Indians had discovered the usefulness of many native plants before the advent of the white race. This information, imparted freely to the whites, led i the latter to continue investigations until ; to-day we have a rich assortment of most 1 : valuable American medicinal roots. ^ Dr. Pierce believes that our American for- i ests atfc^nd in most valuable medicinal roots I foa the cuN^f most obstinate and fatal diseases, if wcLwohidproperly investigate them; and of.this conviction, he <nn<tlfc^w1rh nHdWrV fh#? almost marvelous ffirrwi MaHlr.nl T^. covery." which has nroven itself to be the mptf. pflrtem. cmma.-h 1,-mfr. llvPr Invlgorat.or.

DISFIGURING SKIN HUMOR. Impossible to Get Employment, as Face and ?ody Were Covered "With Sores ?Cured by Cutlcura. "Since the year 1894 1 have been troubled with a very bad case of eczema which I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to cure, and 1 went to the hospital, but they failed to cure me, and it was getting worse all the time. Five weeks ago my wife bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of Cuticura Soap, and 1 am pleased to say that I am now completely cured and well. It was impossible for me to get employment, as my face, head and body were covered with it. The eczema first appeared on the top of my head, and it had worked all the way around down the back of my neck and around to my throat, down my body and around the hips. It itched so I would be obliged to scratch it, and the flesh was raw. I am now all well, and I will be pleased to recommend the Cuticura Remedies to all persons who wish a speedy and permanent cure of skin diseases. Thomas M.

His guest shook his head and hid his face behind the upturned mug. "Not much," he replied, presently. He drew his sleeve across his mouth, and then produced a clay pipe from a pocket in his shirt. "Tobac?" he inquired. Archer passed him a dark and heavy plug of tobacco. "Knife?" queried Sacobie. "Try your own knife on it," answered Archer, grinning. With a sigh Sacobie produced his sheathknife. "You t'ink Sacobie heap big t'ief," he said, accusingly. "Knives are easily lost?in peonle's nockets " renlied Archer. *. ? x- ? ? ' A 1 The two men talked for hours. Sacobie Bear was a great gossip for one of his race. In faet, he had a Micmac nickname which ^translated, meant "the man who deafens his friends with much talk." Archer, | however, was pleased with his ready chatter and unforced humor. I But at last they both began to nod. The white man made up a bed on the floor for Sacobie with a couple of caribou skins and a heavy blanket. Ill the Merry i HOW THE CHRISTMAS PUD! Then he gathered together a fe^1 plugs of tobacco, some tea, flour and dried fish. Sacobie watched him with freshly aroused interest. "More tobac, please," he said; "Squaw, he smoke, too." Archer added a couple of sticks of ! the black leaf to the pile. "Bacum, too," said the Micmac. "Bacum better nor fish, anyhow." t Archer shook his head. "You'll have to do with the fish," he replied; "but I'll give you a tin of "condensed milk for the papoose." "Ah! ah! Him . good stuff!" exclaimed. Sacobie. Archer considered the provisions for a second or two. Then, going over to a dunnage bag near his bunk, he pulled its contents about until he found a bright red silk handkerchief and a red flannel shirt. Their color was too gaudy for his taste. "These things are for your squaw," he said. Sacobie was delightet}. Archer q no at nftok and 116Q lilt HI lltlCO lUbV W MVM? Jt"~ stood It in the corner, beside his guest's rifle. "Now you had better turn in," he said, and blew out the light. In ten minutes both men slept the sleep of the weary. The fire, a great mass of red coals, faded and flushed like some fabulous jewel. The wind washed over the cabin and fingered the eaves, and brushed furtive hands against the door. It was dawn when Archer awoke. He sat up in his bunk and looked about the quiet, gray-lfghted room. Sacobie Bear was nowhere to be seen. He glanced at the corner by the door. Rifle and pack were both gone. He looked up at the rafter, where his slab of bacon was always hung. It, too, was gone! He jumped out of his bunk and ran to the door. Opening it, he " /' A,. ^ ^ Jv:;:-. '0, & - ^ ^ : ': v ii-" *' "" ' *" "l\%.-;VvV' ?? 2^^ n* Ml ^ - : - looked out. Not a breath of air stirred. In the east, saffron and scarlet, broke the Christmas, morning, and blue on the white surface of the world lay the imprints of Sacobie's round snow-shoes. For a long time the trapper stood in ihe doorway in silence, looking out at the stillness and beauty. "Poor Sacobie!" he said, after a > while. "Well, he's welcome to the bacon, even if it id all I had." He turned tft light the fire and prepare breakfast. Something at the foot of his bunk canght his eye. - -J He went over and took it up.
