I I I; Eczema l The Only Cure. Ecronm is more than n skin disease, and no skin remedies enn cure it. The doctors are unable to effect a cure, and their mineral mixtures are damaging to the most powerful constitution.

Captain Janies Peters, riding home from a raid into the moonshine comities, stopped at Jared’s store and usked for a drink. A jug was taken from the shelf and a finger’s length of clear, yellow whisky was poured out. “No moonshine in this sto’, you see, captain,’’ remarked Mr. Jared. “Ilnmph!” And the captain’s keen eyes glanced toward the loungers in and about the store. “Beckon if I took a notion I could unearth somo moonshine an spot some moonshiners not fnr off.” “Captain, you mustn't he so suspi cious. ” Captain Peters only laughed. He was very good humored, this mountain ter ror, except when, as they would say, his blood was up. Then it was as eufo to meet n starving tiger. “Seems to me’s if yon had somethin on yonr mind,” remarked Mrs. Peters that same evening. “Ye-es, “ said the captain, “I’m plagued shout them Jared hoys. I can’t ketch ’em nohow.” A knock at the door, nud a yonng fel low came in and shook hands eagerly with the captain. His name was Mad dox. Captain Peters had picked him up in Nashville and employed him “on trial. ” “I was Jest n-speakin o’ tho Jareds,” he said. "I’m pretty sure they've got a still eomewhar. They look me in tho eye too powerful innocent to bo all right. Now I’vo just got a notion in my head, if I only had anybody I could trust”— Maddox drew himself up alert, watchful as a listening sentinel. “What can’t bo done one way must bo done an other,” said Captain Peters slowly, and he and Maddox had a long, whispered conference. A few days later a peddler stopped at Bleylock’s and asked for a drink of wa ter. Old Mother Bleylock sent Eliza to the spring for a fresh bucketful, and tho peddler, after refreshing himself, opened hie pack. “ 'Pears's if w« oughtn't ter trouble yon,” eho said, “ ’cause we can’t buy a pin’s wnth.” “Jest for the pleasure^ ma’am,” said the gallant peddler. The pack was opened, and three pairs of eyes grew big with delight. “ ’F you’ll wait till pa comes homo, I’ll make him buy me that collar, “ said Janey, the younger of thu Bleylock girls. “P’raps Dick Oscar’d buy you a pres ent ’f ho was hero,” suggested Eliza. “If 'taiu’t makin too free, I'd like to say 1 admire Dick Oscar’s taste,” said the peddler with an admiring glance. Janey responded with, “Oh, you hushl” and a toss of her head, and old Mother Bleylock said, “The boys moat generally always paid Janey a good deal o’ attention.” Sho possessed a hold prettiuess, this mountain pink. Brown skinned, black eyed, red lipped and a way of dropping her head on her swelling neck and look ing mutiny from under her heavy brows. Eliza was a thin slip of a girl, with a demure hut vacant look in her blue eyes, and a shy, nervous manner. “I’ll tell you tho truth, ma’am,” re marked tho peddler to the mother, “you could take these girls o’ yourn to Nusb- viMo, an people in tho streets would fol low them for their good looks. An that’s heaven’s own troth. All yo’ fam ily?” “Dor no; I’ve got tbreo hoys.” “All at homo furmin, 1 s’posef” “Yaas.” “Now, 'bent those goods o’ mine,” said the peddler. “If you could put me up for a fow days, we might make a trade. I’m 's tired's a lame horse, an wouldn't want nutbiu better'n to rest right hero. ” “I’d like nutbiu better’n to take you. But th’ ain’t no uso sayin a word till pa gits home. He ain’t no hand fur strangers. ” “ Well, I won’t be a stranger longer'n 1 can help, ” said tho agreeable peddler. “My name’s Pond—Marcus Pond— Nashville boy, but a rolliu stone, yoa know. I’ve peddled books an sewing machines an no end o’ a lot of traps ginerally. Fond of travel, you see, but jest’s steady ns old time. Never drink when I travel. Promised mj mother I wouldn’t. ” " ’Tis a good thing, ” said Mother Bleylock, with energy. “I do despise to see a fnddled man. Whisky ain’t fit fur nutbiu but to fatten hogs on.” Father Bleylock enmo homo and be yond a stare and a silent nod took little notice of the peddler. He was a tall man, thin, taciturn and yellow, «ni With a neck so small that bis head pre sented the appearance of being stack oa with a pin. He lighted bis pipe, and after a sooth ing interval of smoking, “Peddler ’d like to stopover a period,” said bis wife. Puff, puff. "Don’t see no objection.’' Puff, puff. Mr. Pond, as he had promised, soon ceased to bo a strangsr. The old man discoursed on the grievances of taxes, and tho old woman, after the manner of mothers, talked about bor daughters. “My gala is eddJc^ted,” |be would say—“been over to Cooktille months an mouths a-schooliu. Dut lor, tbar's some folks you can’t weed the haluesi out'n, on Jauey's a spitfire, she is. flwm’sif Dick Oscar wants to have her, but he acts kinder curious about it— blow hot, blow cold. Dnnno. Now, Dizy is different. Can’t tell why, less'u 'tis that I wont to camp meetin an professed awhile bofo’ she was horn. Somehow she’s always been delicater an quieter Jike’u any of my children." Tho Bleylock boys, easy, rollicking fellows, treated tho peddler very much M U Uv had been a harmless tbpugb un necessary cat about the house ami were surprised when Dick Oscar, dropping in one evening, informed them that they wore nil n pack of fools for “takin in a stranger so free and oasy. ” “Why, I ain't paid no more attention to the man 'u if he’d ’a’ been a preach er, “sail Sa.n Bleylock. “Seams’s if tbur ain’t no harm to him.” “He’s a very God fearin man,” said Eliza softly, “an a powerful reader o' the Bible.” “ 'F you'll take my say so, you’ll git quit o' him," said Dick Oscar. “He's got such beautiful taste,” said Mother Bleylock. “It’s as good's goin to tho city to look at his things.” “I seo he’s a-dressin you up,” said Oscar, with a sneer at the new ribbons the girls wore round their necks. Janey sprang up. Her face reddened. In an instant she had torn off tho rib bon and stumped her foot on it. “That’s how much I caro for him an his rib bons !” she cried. “Don’t fly quite off thehaudlo,” said Mr. Oscar coolly. Poor Janey. She had hoped to please her lover by her scorn of tho peddler’s gift, but sho was coming to tho conclu sion that ho was a hard man to pleaso. Bho was a passionate young animal, and sho had thrown herself into his arms with a readiness that robbed her self of her graces. He liked to sting and stroke her alternately and was about as unsatisfactory a lover as Janey could have found on tho Cumberland. But she liked him, saw with his eyes, thought with his thoughts. Naturally she turned against tho peddler, and from this time set herself to watch him. That harmless young man in the meantime was doing what he could. He wandered about tho country, selling such little things as the people could htiy, “pumping” tho Bleylock boys and making love to the Bleylock girls. The pumping process was rewarded with about as much success as would attend fishing for a soul through the eye of a skeleton. In the lovemaking there was more hope. Janey was accessible to flattery and encouraged him with little looks of fire. But thero was something in her eyes ho did not trust, and be \yas a wary man, the peddler. Besides, she slapped his face when he tried to kiss her. But he soon grew to believe that Eliza—simple, unsuspicious, serious— would be as clay in his hands. Chance favored Miss Janey. Sho was bathing one warm day in the creek that run out from tho spring when she saw Eliza and tho peddler coming, like Jack and Jill, to fetch a pail of water. Be ing naked, Janey could not gut away, but she slid along to a cool inlet over hung with tree branches and so hidden waited for them to do their errand. Of course they stopped to talk. “That pink ribbon becomes yout black hair mightily,” said tho peddler. Eliza blushed. “ We’re just country girls, you know, Mr. Pond. Wo don’t have many pretty things. Beeins as if the boys don't have any money left after buyin the sugar \flour, au molasses an things,” “Meat, I s’po.u,” said the practical peddler. “No; wo raise our own moat. Pa has a powerful lot o’ hogs.” “So!” “But I expect you don’t take much interest lu country life, Mr. Pond?” “Why, my dear”—and Mr. Pond slipped his arm around Eliza—“I’d like the best in the world to settle down in a country just liko this. A fellow gits tirud trumpin around. But I’d want two things to mako me happy.” Eliza looked at him with happy con- fldenco. “First, a littlo wife that was gentle in her ways, au a good religious girl, an one with black hair to set off the pink ribbius I’d buy for her, an a fleet foot au a rod mouth.” Hero Mr. Pond came to a full stop with a kiss. “An tho other thing?” with a bright blush. Tho peddler grew practical again. “Well, it’s nutbiu more’n somo way to mako a liviu. Now, say I married a sweet girl up tho Cumberland an made a little crop. It’s too far to git it to market. I might turn It into whisky, hut lately gov’meut’s turned meddler, an is a-breakin stills right an left through the country.” “They do hide ’em sometimes,” said Eliza in a half whisper, “so ’t a bloodhound could hardly scent ’em. An n very good business it is, an the bogs live on tho mash.” "Do you know o’ any such stills, my little darlin?” But she drew back a little. “Ef I do know o’ any, ” sho said, “I’vo promised not to tell o’ ’em.” “Not to the man as is goin to be yonr husband?" “Not to him until he is my hus band.” And blushing, but resolute, Eliza filled her pail and started for the bouse. Under the water Janey clinched her bands. “Dick was right,” sho thought, “au I see his game. He’s a spy, an Eliza’s! a fool.” iShe knew that she had heard enough to justify her lover in his suspicious, enough to put them all on their guard. A passionate exultation fired her blood as she thought of the service she should render Dick Oscar, his praise, tho re ward of his rude kisses. But, alas for Janey 1 Something had milled her sweetheart’s temper when they next met. Before she could ap proach the subject of which sho was full stinging words had passed between them. “Dick," said Janey hoarsely, “d’you mean that you’re goin book from your word; that yon ain’t a-goin to marry mo?" “Merry h—I!” said Mr. Oscar, and be walked off. “I want to epoak to yon, ” said Janey that night to the peddler. “Can yoa git up in the moruin bofo’ the folks is stirriu?” “Of coarse I can, when it’s to meet a gal liko yoa.” Privately he wondered at her pallor and lurid eyes. Morning came. As the stars were drowsily getting out of the sun’s way, Janey and the peddler met by the spring. “You needn’t lie to me, "said she harshly. ”I’ve found you out. You're up tho Cumberland spyin for wildcat stills. I’ll take you to one.” “But, my dear, is this a trap? I’m nothin but a poor, harmless peddler.” “Come, then, my harmless peddler,” said the girl, with a sneer, “au I’ll ehow you somethin to make your mouth water.” She struck through tiio woods, nud be followed, alternately blowing and wondering at his luck. What thread led her he knew not. Fallen logs lay in tho way, thickets opposed, douse foliage hid all signs of paths, but on she wont, above, around, amid, athwart obstacles of every kind. And finally, girdled and guarded by frees and rocks, was the hidden still, where the oorn was chang ed into the flowing moonshine that maketli glad the heart of man. Tho peddler could hardly keep back a shout. Ho had won his spurs. It was a much larger concern than he had ex pected. Homo hogs were rooting about the sodden earth. Tho monotonous drip ping of water mingled with tho grunts of these poetic animals. Juuey loaned against a rock breathing heavily. The peddler thought bo would about as soon touch n wildcat as speak to her. Nevertheless he did. “B’long t’ your folks:” ho said. ” ’T b’lougs to Dick Oscar, an you know it,’’ said tho girl fiercely. “Now I’m goin back home..’’ “ Yo’ don’t know of any more such, ” said the insatiate peddler, “lyiu round loose up here?’’ “I’ve done enough. An look hero. Keep your tongue between your teeth. Tell that I fetched you hero, an you won’t see many more sun ups with them spyin eyes.” Mr. Pond was a tolerable woodsman, and ho led Captain Peters and his scouts to tho mountain still without trouble. They were all there—the Bleylock boys, the father and young Oscar. They were hard at work and, surprised, were handcuffed without the firing of a gun. Who so crestfallen as the toiling, moiling, moonshiners? Who so jubilant as the long whiskered captain? He would have sung a paean had he known how. As it was, he chewed a great deal of tobacco and nubuttoned his flannel shirt for expansion. The prisoners were halted at the Bley lock cabin for baggage and goodbys. They were to go to the penitentiary. Mrs. Bleylock and Eliza wept and moaned their fate; but Janey was still, her brown lids veiling the dull fire of her eyes. “Janey, myglrl, ” said Oscar, draw ing her apart, “I spoke up rough to you t’other day. But don’t you mind it. ’Twarn’t nutbiu but jealousy.” Her eyes softened. Mountain pinks, as well as some fine ladies, consider jealousy ns tribute to their charms. “Perhaps I’ll never come hack,” said he. Sho seized him by tho arm. “Dick, what can they do to you?” "Duuuo. Most likely I’ll kill some body tryiu to git away an be strung." Janey burst into tears. “Shouldn’t wonder if you married one o’ tho Jareds,’’he said, piling oa the gloom. “Dick Oscar, I promised to marry you, an I don’t go back from my word. ” “No, an I don’t, ” cried Dick. “There ain’t as pretty a ahupod girl as yoa ou the CambevlMd. an If ever I do git back’’— He whispered the rest in Jaliey’s ear, and sho clung to him, blushing a deep, deep rose. “ ’y jest one thing I want to know,” said old Bleylock as they tramped to Nashville. "How’d you find us?” Tho captain laughed. “Been entertainiu a peddler, haven’t you? Which one o’ your gals ’d be mako up to?” Father and brothers swore. Dick Os car nodded to his discernment with ha- man triumph. A few days later a young girl walked into Nashville who hud never been in a city before. She asked but one question —tho way to the governor’s house. That accessible mansion was readily found; doors were swung open, and, an nounced by a sleepy durky, Janey Bleylock stood in tho governor’s pres ence. With a fine and courteous manner that gentleman listened, struck by her figure, her fall voice and passionate eyes. Ho promised to use his influence with the president to procure a pardon for Dick Oscar and the Bleylocks, and Janey was allowed to go to the prison with tho cheering news. The mountain girl was beard of in high circles. Hearts beat warmly in lovely southern bosoms, and they made a heroine of Janey. “Why don’t you marry here?” said a beautiful enthusiast, who had called to seo Janey, and kissed her because she knew so well how to love. “Marry here and I’ll give you a wedding dress. ” “So wo will,” said Dick Oscar, when be was out of prison. And Janey wont home a wife, as if the stars had been diamonds and strung like a larkspur chain for her neck—fa ther, brothers, husband, sheltering her in their love. Mrs. Bleylock and Eliza ran to meet them. Eliza thought perhaps some one else would come with thorn. Had not her lover left her with a kiss and a promise to come back? The pink ribbon was round her nock. Her lips were parted in a buppy, vacant smile. Tho old father was in advance. He thrust out his arm us Eliza drew near. “Don’t you speak to me!" “Bappff*’ “D—n your tnttlin touguel Keep away from my bands!’’ The smllu bad gouo. The vacant look spread over the face that turned help lessly to her brothers. “You ought to bo whipped like a nigger,” said Sam Bleylock. “What ’d you tell that peddler ’bout Oscar’s still for? Might ’a’ known be was foolin you.” “I didn't toll where the still was.” “Hob, you lie too.” And her father, passing by, struck her with the bauk of bis baud. “Shame on you, pappy!” and Janey ran to her sister, over whose lips tho blood was pooriug. Her husband drew Janey away. “Don’t touch her,” ho said, with a look of disgust. “She ain’t fit. ” A wild, terrified look swept over Janey’s face. Should she grasp at the wind blowing in the troetopsabove her? fibe caught Disk Oscar’s arm, bolding it fiercely. Here was something'to clasp, to cling to. Hor soal shriveled ib her ardent body. Afterward Eliza Bleylock seemed to wither away. Sho repeated her denial of having been a traitor, but no one ever believed hor. Him worked hard, and was used roughly. She had never boon strong. Sometimes siin utolo away and nursed Junoy's baby, who seemed to love her. B;H never when Dick Os car was at homo. Ono day, sitting by tho spring alone, too weak since u long timo to work, she leaned her bead against a tree and with one moan, too faint to startle tho sing ing birds, sho died. Hor mother and Janey dressed her cleanly and tied around her neck a pink ribbon that they found in her Bible. And sho was buried, with very little said about it, in the valley.—Sherwood Bonner in Argonaut. A F'ortnnnto Reply. The Duke of Osemm, who during hil long career as viceroy of Naples was distinguished as much for his sound good sense in small mutters as in those larger questions of statesmanship which mado him ono of tho foremost mou of Europe, ouco paid a visit to tho Cape galley at Barcelona. A* bo passed in and out among tho crow of slaves he questioned several of them regarding their offenses for which they wera so laboriously paying tho penalties. Each had plenty of excuses. One said ho had been sent there from spite; another as serted that tho Judge who sentenced him had been bribed; still another de clared that his being thero was uD a mistake. At last the duko cametoa stout littlo black fellow of whom ho asked: “And what aro you hero for, my man?’’ “My lord, ” replied tho slave, “I can not deny that I am justly put in hero, fo" I wanted money, and so took a purso near Tarragona to keep me from starving." Upon hearing this tho duko gavo him two or three blows across the shoulders with his stick, saying as ho did so: “You rogue, what are you doing among so many honest, innocent moul Get you out of their company.” Tho thief, who was so surprised that ho scarcely comprehended what was go ing on, was then set nt liberty, while tho re*t were left to labor at the oar.— Harper’s Round Table. Uoyn mid Men. Dull boya often become clever and successful men, but this is simply on account of tho fact that dull boys are only slow hoys, and it takes more time for thoir brains to grow than thu others. It is steady work, ceaseless endeavor, that tells. Then, again, wo forget that a bright boy may be handicapped by other qualities. Ha may not havo the physical strength or energy of the other, while the dull boy is carried forward by never failing energy and strength, for it is often his dullness at school which makes tho dull boy’s subsequent success so conspicuous. How many dull boys have become still duller men I Liko tho old reproach about ministers’ sous, one bright boy that turns out ill is mado to stand fot tho whole class, and one dull boy that turns out well glorifies his whole class. Notwithstanding all our inventions, all our progress, the old Kcripturo doctriue still holds good—that men reap what they sow and cannot gather grapes of thistles nor figs of thorns. It can La sot down, therefor#, as au established rule that bright boys generally do torn out to ho bright men, and dell boys general ly do turn out to bo dull men.—Good Housekeeping.

Garrick was angry at finding Johnson there and said: “This is a pri vate cabinet and no company is admit ted hero.” "But,” said Johnson, with imperti nent coolness, “I was determined to ex amine your valuables, which I find con sist of tbroo sorts—stuff, trash and non sense. ” Tbo Second Generation.
