Had No Use for It.

A little girl came down to dessert at a dinner party, and sat next to her mother. This lady was much occupied in talking to her neighbors and omitted to give the child anything to eat. After some time the little girl, unable to bear it any longer, with sobs rising in her throat, held up her plate and said: “Does Anybody want a clean plate?”

WATERY BUSTERS ON FACE Smithville, Ind. —“Six months ago our baby girl, one year old, had a few red pimples come on her face which gradually spread causing her face to become very irritated and a fiery red color. The pimples on the child’s face were at first small watery blisters, just a small blotch on the skin. She kept scratching at this until in a few days her whole cheeks were fiery red color and instead of the little blisters the skin was cracked and scaly looking and seemed to itch and burn very pauth. “We used a number of remedies which seemed to give relief for a short time then leave her face worse than ever. Finally we got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. I washed the child’s face with very warm water and Cuticura Soap, then applied the Cuticura Ointment .very lightly. After doing this about three times a day the itching and burning seemed entirely gone in two days’ time. Inside of two weeks’ time her face seemed well. That was eight months ago and there has been no return of the trouble.” (Signed) Mrs. A. K. Wooden, Nov. 4, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free,with 32-p.

The French minister of justice has received an address signed by citizens figuring on the Paris jury lists, protesting against the bare appearance of the courts where they have to sit They point out that if—tired of looking at the judges, counsel, witnesses and other parties to a suit—they turn their eyes upon the walls, nothing but an inartistic paper meets their gaze. In order to relieve this deadly monotony they beg that a print of Prudhon's famous picture, “Justice in Pursuit of Crime,” may be hung in each court. ■

Banana Eaters.

Americans used to be called a nation of pie eaters. Today a more appropriate term would be a nation of banana eaters. The United States takes more than two-thirds of the bananas shipped to the handlers in the world. Part of this pre-eminence in banana consumption is due to geography; the source of supply on the Caribbean is almost at our doors. Part is due to accident; a Boston skipper Introduced the American public to this tropical fruit while it was still unknown in Europe. Whatever reason one may choose to give, the United States is the world's chief banana market, and though the use of this fruit is increasing abroad, the American boy remains the Jamaica grower’s best friend.

THE DOCTOR’S GIFT Food Worth Its Weight In Gold.

We usually expect the doctor to put as on some kind of penance and give us bitter medicines. A Penn, doctor brought a patient something entirely different and the results are truly interesting. “Two years ago,” writes this parent, “I was a frequent victim of acute indigestion and biliousness, being allowed to eat very few things. One day our family doctor brought ma a small package, saying Ae had found something for me to eat. “He said it was a food called GrapeNuts and even as its golden color might suggest it was worth its weight in gold. 1 was sick and tired, trying one thing after another to no avail, but consented to try this new food. “Well! It surpassed my doctor’s fondest anticipation and every day since then I have blessed the gbed doctor and th© inventor of GrapeNuts "I noticed improvement at once and In a month’s time my former spellsof indigestion had disappeared. In two months 1 felt like a new man. My mind was much clearer and keener, my body took on the vitality of youth, and this condition has continued.” "There’s a Reason.” Name given by Poatum Co., Rattle Creek, Mich.

FORMER ATHLETIC STAR AS PEACEMAKER

It pays to have a successful peacemaker on a ball club. Many baseball followers throughout the country probably are wondering why the Athletics, with practically the same players of last year, are making a near runaway race in the American league this season. Of course, the Mackmen have won most of their games by good hard hitting but there is one great leader, who sits on the bench and helps Connie Mack direct his team. It is the appearance of this veteran that has brought peace to the family of a great ball club. Harry Davis, who failed to give Cleveland a winner last year, is back in Athletic harness, and the White Elephants again are showing the form they displayed in 1911. Numerous reports were eent out from the Quaker City last summer, while the Mack team was taking its daily lickings at the hands of the Boston Red Sox and other clubs in the American league, that the former

PINCH HITTER QUITE USEFUL

All Baseball Clubs Now Have Their Relief Batters for Deadly WorkJob Is Not Easy. The pinch hitter in major league baseball has become an institution, due in a great measure to the success attained by McCormick of the New York Giants, who, for three seasons, has added game after game to the Giants’ roster by his ability to drive in runs when they are needed. Now McCormick is dethroned, and the two Philadelphia teams, the Phillies and Athletics, owe their high place to the ability of their pinch hitters. Danny Murphy of the Athletics is doing the relief batting for the American league leaders with deadly effect, while Doc Miller is serving the same end for the Phillies. It takes a peculiar ability to fill such a role, and both these players possess it. Peculiarly enough, not all high average hitters are good pinch hitters, and, conversely, few good pinch hit-

ters are high average hitters when played regularly. Celebrated pinch hitters who have received much prominence in the past solely through their ability to step up to the plate in a tight.place and relieve the hitter with a safe hit, and yet who were valueless as regulars when played regular-

world’s champions were fairly well disorganized as far as friendship was concerned. The taste of defeat was a bitter medicine, and the players on Mack’s pay roll were peevish and not working together like the machine that rolled over the New York Giants in the fall of 1911. The reason for the poor showing of a team doped to run away with a third pennant, was that Harry Davis, peacemaker, was not there to settle the disputes of the players. This fellow Davis knows how to keep his team mates working together and his return to Philadelphia has had something to do with the great showing made by the conquerors of the Cubs and the Giants. Eddie Plank and the reliable Indian, Chief Bender, are the only winning heaverq on Mack’s staff this season. The young pitchers occasionally get in and win a game, but it has been the work of the veterans that has kept the Athletics out in front so far this year.

ly were Dode Criss of the Saint Louis Browns of 1908 and Harry McCormick of the Giants. In 1908 Criss was used entirely as a pinch hitter and he batted for an average of .341, winning game after game. The following year he was tried as a regular and proved a gloomy failure. Last year McCormick had his best season as a pinch hitter. During the season he came to bat 39 times for other hitters nad batted out hits thirteen times, for an average of .333. In addition, he drove in a number of runs on flies and outs to the infield. He also figured in the world’s series. This year the two Philadelphia teams began experimenting with pinch hitters with the result that they developed a pair that promise to eclipse anything in this line ever produced. Both are batting over .360, a remarkable figure for such work. Murphy has played a number of games as a regular and his average as a pinch hitter has been better than his work while playing regularly. The majority of major league managers are not endeavoring to work out pinth hitters, realizing their value in these days of few hits and small scores. Danny Murphy may get a chance to show his ability in the coming world’s series.

NOTES of the DIAMOND

Catcher McKee is showing some good work with the Tigers, both behind the plate and at bat. • r • Pitcher Cottrell, the young heaver sent to Baltimore by Connie Mack, is pitching winning ball. • • A. Osborn of Louisville, with a batting average of .327, is said to be sought by three big ledgue clubs. • • • Cincinnati has purchased Second Baseman John Rawlins of the Victoria Northwestern league club. • • ♦ With Newt Ranfiall out of the Milwaukee lineup probably for the rest of the season with a bad knee, Orville Woodruff gets a chance to be a r regular again.

THAT SCOTT TRIBE

By SUSANNE GLENN.

The girl stood motionless until the two young men disappeared round the bend in the road. “Oh, I hate him, I hate him,” she sobbed angrily, dropping the rusty tin pan she was holding. “But I suppose'you thought Mark Hermon was perfect. You’re so everlastingly standing up for him,” observed her mother, astonished out of her habitual lassitude.

"He had no right to eay that! I don’t care if we are poor and shiftless and if Ben has made a mistake —he had no business to call us that ‘Scott trfibe,’ and to a perfect stranger!” “I don’t know as you have any call to get so excited over it —what folks say doesn’t make much difference one way or the other.” And the woman bent to gather up the dandelions that had been spilled in the hasty descent of the rusty pan. Eliza Scott’s pretty, girlish face held a new question. Was her mother right —this doesn’t-make-any-difference sentiment she had instilled into her all her young life, was it right? “Oh, it does make a difference,” she whispered passionately. “I'll show him, somehow, that there is more to ‘that Scott tribe’ than he ever dreamed! ” But how? It is not a simple matter for a mere girl to counteract the results of. generations of shiftlessness. It’s easy enough to be prosperous when you have a fine farm to hand down from father to son and each generation leaves it increased in value,” thought Eliza, as she sat in her window that night looking across the S 4 cott’s scraggy fields and delapidated fences to the big white house and red barns that bespeak prosperity in every trim line. “What has he ever done more than I have? And it’s true, I have always taken his part when the boys called him snobbish and overbearing. I thought he wasn’t that way, or, I guess I wanted to think he—was hot,’* she admitted, flushing painfully in the darkness. “I’ve been a little fool. Now I’ll show him I amount to something even if my name is Scott.”, But young Mary Hermon evidently noticed nothing unusual with his easy-going neighbors. He was exceedingly busy, during every spare moment, over a patch of fine garden ground where he was patiently coaxing his choicest seedlings into the “blue-ribbon” vegetables which it was his pride to display each autumn at the great convention of all the coun-try-side, the county fair. He did pause in amazement one day when Eliza Scott passed him with a crisp little 1 nod. “Why, whatever,” he asked himself wonderingly, “has come over that little Scott girl? She has always looked like a neglected wax doll, but I’m blamed if she isn’t getting to be a mighty good looking girl! It takes something beside a pretty face to be good looking. I didn’t suppose one of that Scott tribe had it in her to look like that.”

Mark was complacently putting out his team after taking his finest load on record to the fair ground. “There was nothing there to compare with mine,” he thought with satisfaction. "I’d hate, to get beaten “now, aftergetting most of the blue ribbons in my department for five years. Well, by Jove,” he broke off, as a thin team drawing a ramshackle old wagon passed by in the dusty road, “it certainly looks as if the Scotts were going to make an exhibit! I’m blamed if I’m sorry, for It just means another disappointment for them. I’ll bet that is Eliza’s idea, and it, is just a shame. Wish she’d said nothing to me about it; there is something about that girl—” He left hie thought unspoken while he gazed after the retreating wagon. For the first time in his life, Mark dreaded approaching the fair grounds. "I did not suppose anything could make me dislike seeing blue ribbons in my stuff,” he admitted whimsically. “I don’t know what has got into me. I suppose it is because I hale, to see a girl disappointed.” Eliza Scott and her mother were just before him as he entered the hall. What was this? He paused bewildered before his early potatoes—they were “seconds;” beside them was a basket of beauties bearing the coveted blue ribbon. His professional heart warmed at sight of them tn spite of his chagrin. "Just look, mother, 1 have first on my potatoes,” he could scarcely credit his ears with hearing Eliza’saying in subdued excitement. “And my corn—and —everything. I’m simply too overjoyed for words.” In the crowd Mark found it easy to keep near Without being observed. It seemed perfectly marvelous that Eliza could have raised those vegetables “under his very nose” without his having suspected it. “Oh, and I’ve first on my jelly, and second on both cakes and—truly, truly, mummy—first on my bread; I didn’t dare hope for that!” “I should think you would want to go In and .look at your fancy work, Eliza,” observed Mrs. Scott. “Some of yotir embroidery was fine. You are a funny kind of girl to be more interested in all this garden truck and baking than you are in that.” “But I’m not trying to ‘beat’ anyone at the fancy work, mother, and I am here. I set out last spring to get the blue ribbons away from Mark Hermon, and I’ve done it. He will know this once, anyway, what it Is to stand back for one of thev’Scott tribe!’” “Why, Eliza Scott! I never dreamed you had such a disposition,” gasped her astonished mother. ‘Tm glad I have a little spunk,” retorted Eliza, walking away, Mark Hermon stood still in consternation. Yes, he had called them “the

Scott tribe,” a few times audibly, and many times in his own mind. “And I don’t suppose I should enjoy having the Hermons spoken of in that way,” he admitted uncomfortably. “I wonder if I’ll ever be able to make it up with Eliza.” But Eliza seemed capable of making herself very inaccessible, and it was almost evening when he found an opportunity to speak with her. “Eliza, will you let me drive you home?” he asked, with amazing humility. “There is plenty of room in our wagon for all of us, thank you,” answered the girl, with apparent innocence. “But—your people are gone,” admitted Mark, a little shamefacedly. “I —I told them I was going to bring you. I’ve wanted all day to* talk with you, Eliza, but you would not give me a chance. So I had to make an opportunity, didn't I?”“Then there is nothing else for me to do,” she agreed with a matter-of-factness that made, his heart sink in a most disconcerting manner. “But I am quite certain you ought to be punished,” she added with a smile. “I’m wondering what my punishment is to be,” he observed, breaking the rather uncomfortable silence after they had started. “I should say that driving before the assembled country-side with a Scott would be sufficient,” answered Eliza, cheerfully. . \ “Eliza, see here,” blurted the young man, “I don’t suppose you can forgive me for that. I never thought before today how it would seem to be born in a home like—yours. I never thought of the help I’ve had right along—l guess I thought I had done it all, myself!” And he laughed with self-scorn. “I suspect that I might have felt that way, too, if I had been in your place,” admitted Eliza, gently. ' “Oh, do not make excuses for me—but you are an angel to do it!” “I cannot imagine an angel working herself to death all summer to ‘get even’ with some one for an idle remark, ” severely. ’ “It wasn’t an idle remark —I meant it. I thought I was better than you were. I never even took the trouble to see what sort of girl you were until you began snubbing me this summer. But I’m getting my punishment, never fear; you are not like any other girl in the whole world to me, Eliza. And I do not dare tell you about it because of what has happened.” There was a long silence. The girl’s face beamed softly. In the tender autumn twilight his. arm stole along the back of the seat. “Dear,” he whispered, “don’t you believe we can fix it so that we can take our exhibits to the fair together next year? I’d so much rather take a back seat for my wife than for a mere—neighbor!” (Copyright, 1913, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)

CHOSE QUEER HIDING-PLACE

Fugitives Fondly Fancied Themselves in Security In Most Public Spot They .Could Have Chosen. The . father of Joseph Altshelr, the writer of war stories, was a Prussian came to this country a few years before the Civil war broke out, and settled 1q... Barren county, Kentucky. By reason of his foreign birth the elder Altscheler was not subject to draft by either ar my when hostilities began, but his southern sympathies made him obnoxious to a group of bushwhackers who, posing as Federals, infested the vicinity of the Kentucky-Tennessee state line. One starless, moonless night in the summer of 1883, a neighbor came with the word that the bushwhackers were on their way to kill Mr. Altsheler and another resident of the vicinity, who had been outspoken in his approval of secession. It was not certain, the messenger said, which road of two the marauders would take to reach the homes of their proposed victims; but it was certain that they would be along Mr. Altsheler and the other-threat-ened man gathered up a blanket apiece and went Into the woods to hide. In the darkness they speedily lost all sense of direction. For an hour they wandered about, seeking a suitable camping-place. Finally they came to a spot that was free of trees and where the ground felt smooth under foot. So they spread their blankets and went to sleep, secure in the belief that no bushwhacker could find them there. The rising sun, shining in their faces, waked them. They sat up and looked round. They had been asleep all night at the only place where the raiders could not have failed to find them, had their plans been carried out —at the forks of the county road. —Exchange.

First-Born Are the Weakest.

Primogeniture has just received another hard knpek. It is several years since Dr. W. C. Rivers of London, in studying the statistics of a great sanatorium, observed that among consumptive patients the first-born provide a larger number of subjects than any of the other children. Pips. Karl Pearson and Professors Brehmer and Riffe*! collected a vast mass of statistics in England and Germany and fully River’s observation. Brehmer had been teaching that the first-born children were the strongest, but he proved that the was true. A medical authority states that not only tuberculosis but "insanity and criminality show a preponderating incidence among the eldest children,” and quotes Professor Pearson’s statement that the earlier members of a family are more likely that) the younger to inherit constitutional defects. It adds that a tendency td coddle, pamper and indulge the first child may account for a part of 1U vulnerability to disease. i ,
