MUFIES, BLACKHEADS, ECZEItA. ETC. Quickly Cured.

"R is astonishing,” remarked a well known authority on' diseases of the skin, how much a large number of people, especially ladies, are by attractively written advertisements, induced to purchase some one of the many so-called Beauty Creams now on the market, not knowing, of course, that they mostly contain oily or greay substances that clog the pores of the skin and are, for that reason, thb very worst thirig that they could possibly use. My treatment of Pimples, Blackheads, Bloches and all eruptions of the skin, are as follows, and has invariably proved very successful: Wash» the face carefully every

THE MAGIC MUSICIAN.

Francois, first violin at the gilded Belvidere, had two precious secrets pent in his warm, Gallic heart. The first of these was known only to a very prouud, ancient family ppon the vine-clad banks of the Loire; the second was really no secret at alitor Francois told the beautiful story in the wailing, pleading tones of his belQved Strad every night to the gay parties that thronged the Case Belvidere. Thus was his love for the lady of the lavender ostrich plume. Francois had singled her out one night when her party was the merriest in tfye’ tinseled case. Madame of the lavender plume, when the others joined boisterously in the applause, had said merely “Good!” The next night Francois fixed his bright brown eyes upon madame and rendered ‘‘The Cavalier’s Golden Dream.’’ Madame, who was very sensitive to these things, dropped just one little, unbidden tear upon her lobster according to Newburg. Francois saw, and dreamed of her that night in his tiny, tenth-floor garret. After that the secret ceased to be a secret. Madame came nightly with her grand friends. After a bit, in his artist’s ecstasy, he would advance and face his lady, forgetting the crowd and Josef and Paul and the other musicians. Thus the thing became a rare jest with madame’s grand friends. Finally the great news came to Francois from across the sea, bearing a crest of ancient honor. The first precious secret was ready for the greedy world. Then Francois came down to the Case Belvidere in a rented dress suit of extraordinary splendor. When madame came with her friends, he stepped out upon the floor and played as even he had not played before. It was “The Sad Heart’s Message,” and the strains called and allured and beckoned to madame until she half arose from her chair. Francois saw and came near. “Oh, madame —come, please! ” She followed him,'while the crowd Wondered; and behind a friendly palm Francois halted. “Madame,” he said, simply, “I love —It is you whom 1 love!” “Ah!” sighed madame, reaching out her hands to him. Then she drew back. “What do you mean?” she added. Francois bright eyes- fairly burned her. “Then madame does not love me?” he questioned. “Madame, who is reech and ver’ gran’, would not marry ze poor museecian?”

Madame, who was crying again, shook her head. “Oh, can’t you understand,’ she whispered. “I could love you to madness —you with your strange, soulful chords and artist’s temperament. But it isn’t the way of the world, Francois. Francois snapped the strings of the priceless Strad, “See,’’ he cried, “so Is my life —like zat—a broken string!’’ y ■ Madame leaned forward and impulsively kissed him. “It is the way of the cold, cruel world,” she repeated, “and we would not be happy. But 1 love you for a minute, Francois of the magic chords.” Then Francois shouted “Ha!’’ with such zest that madame started back. The young ’musician produced the welcome summons upon which was stamped the arms of a noble house. “Zen you love Francois, the poor museecian, for one meenlt —how long you love ze Count Artois? Say, madame?” Madame read and her face grew pale. “No,” she said, “if I would not love Francois, the musician, I should be ashamed now to own that I love the Count Artois.” But Francois was pulling at the sleeve of her rich, creamy gown “Eeet ees enough,’’ he cried. “Lefe for a meenit is love forever!” Then he conducted madame back to the curious diners, to hear of the countess-to-be of Artois. —Stuart B. Stone.

Had Another Day.

Pat McGuire was an inveterate drinker. For many years he had been addicted to the use of liquor, and although he signed numerous pledges, he was unable to break him self from the habit. Finally, after being arrested sev-’ eral times for being drunk and dis orderly, Pat told the magistrate of his unsuccessful fight against the liquor .and asked the magistrate to help him keep sober. The magistrate was interested and promised to aid him all he could. "Pat," said he. "I shall help you as much as I can, so the next time you become Intoxicated I want you to report to me on the following day." Pat promised. About two weeks later Pat staggered Into the magistrate’s office with a load he should have made two trips for. "Mornin’ magsthrate," said he. "Wash drunk yesterday." "Drunk yesterday!" roared the magistrate. "Why, you loafer, you’re drunk now!” ’Thash allri* Mid Pat, "but I don’t have to report this one until tomorrow.”—Philadelphia rimes.

LITTLE LAUGHS

THEIR FACES WERE TWISTED. While children learn foreign languages with astounding ease and rapidity, they are often puzzled as to why children of other lands speak in strange tongues. This was amusingly exemplified the other day when little Mary Burrell, who Is just 5 years old, was playing on the front porch in West Philadelphia, watching some little Italians gather wood from a nearby , building affixation The youngsters had gathered two express wagons full and were busily at work when a dispute aro.-e. Their slight knowledge of English was forgotten in their anger, and they began to talk fast and angrily in Italian. Little Mary watched them in wonder for a moment, then ran to her mother, t “Mother, mother,” she cried, “come quick, here's a lot of children that’s got something wrong with their faces, and you can’t understand a word they say.” Philadelphia Times.

Sympathized With Jim.

An excited, middle-aged lady bounced into a police station the other day and accosted the officer on duty. “Wher’s my Jim?” she demanded. “Beg pardon, madam—dog, I presume?” said the officer. “Don’t you dare to presume nothing of the kind,” snapped the lady. “Dog, indeed! No, sir, husband —my husband. He’s missing, disappeared, decamped—” “You don’t say so!” "But I’d have yoa to understand that I do say so, young man. How dare you sit there and flatly contradict a taxpayer?—leastways, the lawful wife of one. I’ll report you, sir. Do you hear that? I’ll report you! Where’s my husband?” “My dear madam —” “How dare you call me your dear madam? Do you think I come here to be insulted? I tell you my husband has decamped, and you sit there like a dummy. What do you think of that?" -r “Well, madam,” responded the polite officer, "I haven’t the pleasure of your husband’s acquaintance, but I should say he’s a wise man.”—Detroit News.

Didn’t Believe in Satan.

Dr. Judson Swift, the secretary of the American Tract Society, said on a recent warm afternoon, in New York: “Our army of colporteurs will soon be taking their vacations. They will return to work refreshed. They will labor with Increased zeaL I am a believer in the vacation. “And I have no patience with those Who say to the vacationist —as the old lady said to her pastor, as he set out for a fort-night in the mountains: “ ‘Satan ‘never takes a vacation, Mr. Stecnthly.” “ ’Wei 1 , my dear Mrs. Jpnes,’ the pastor a iswered, ‘I never did believe in Imitating Satan.’ ”

A Persistent Benedict

Tramp—Please, sir, will you buy this rin r "? I am starving. It’s my wife’s wjdding ring. I —(breaks down and bursts into tears). Gentleman (indignantly)—Vou lying rascal! I bought your wife’s wedding ring from you only last week to save you from starvation. You are an impostor. Tramp—Not at all, sir. This belongs to my second wife. I was married again last Monday.

Presence of Mind

Mr. Phon (roaring from the top of the stairs) —Mildred! What is that young man doing down there so late? Mildred (sweetly)—He’s just doping out how the teams will finish for the pennant. K . Mr. Phan (mollified) —All right Tell him to take his time, not overlooking past performances and the possibility of a slump, and when be gets done he can ccmpkre with my list behind the clock on the bo >kcase.

Wiggins—l say, old man, have you seen my new Invention? It’s destined to make a complete revolution. Higgins—You don't say! What is it? Wiggins A one-piece wagon wheel. —Chicago News.

Microbe of Baldness.

Baldness la a malady intimately connected with a tkin disease which is very common, rbove all in youtn The skin contains glands chargee with secreting perspiration and gland, which give forth oily matter designed to lubricate the skin. Ihe exaggeration of the functi ns of the’e glands produces the malauy failed seborrhea. If you press between the nai’s a sufficiently diseased point of skin you will force from n!l the sebaceous pores several large ampullary cylinders with black heads, which one calls blackheads, together with innumerable vermiform filaments with yellow beads., Examine this fatty filament with the microscope, crush the oily matter between t ~o plates of glass, wash with ether, color and look at it. In the midst of the debris of epidermis, cf globules of fat, one will see millions of small bacilli extending in masses, in clouds and in fine dust. They are legion, and are prolific micro-bacilli, which are the cause or seborrhea. The transmission of the bacilli snd the resulting contagion are produced by a thousand hazards, perhaps more than one thinks, by barber shops where the brushes and combs pass from one head to another.

Woman’s Reason. Him —“But why do women do such rldlculour things?” Her—“ Jh, because some other woman does them.” ' King Christian was one of the greatest anti-race suicide enthusiasts who ever lived. He hed no use tor bachelors. Everybody over 30 v«ars old he besought to get married. It is related thq£ one bachelor was pressed so hard by King Christian on this point that he fled to the West Indies to keep from being persuaded. When a cold becomes settled in the system, it will take several days’ treatment to cure it, and the best remedy. to use is Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. It will cure quicker than any other, and also leaves the system in a natural and healthy condition. Sold by all druggists. c Records are again being broken in many lines of industry, other lines are more slowly getting back to normal conditions, but everywhere there is the most optimistic feeling. In many centers there is already a scarcity of labor, and this of course means a high scale of wages with full employment for months to come. It is apparent on all sides that labor is to reap unprecedented benefits from the operation of the new tariff and that most men are too busy to agitate the subject further. That is just the condition that was aimed at by the republican majority, and their wisdom and good judgment is being fully vindicated. We are now ready for the legislation of the coming regular session of congress, and no doubt several of the recommendations of the president will be enacted into law.

Lame back comes on suddenly and is extremely painful. It is caused by -rheumatism of the muscles. Quick relief is afforded by applying Chamberlain’s Liniment. Sold by all druggists. c It is now rumored that PostmasterGeneral Hitchcock asked for the resignation of Lawshe, the free envelope man, or the fellow who ran a mail order house on a losing basis for Uncle Sam. Hitchcock is a well qualified business man and doubtless had good reasons for his disapproval of Lawshe. Lawshe will give up his job reluctantly and if he is forced to get out he will try some other government Job if he can get one. His faulty business policy of furnishing government envelopes at less than cost and throwing in the printing would indicate that he could not make a living for himself in any private enterprise. Printers the country over will rejoice at his removal from the postofiice department. Many school children suffer from constipation, which is often the cause of seeming stupidity at lessons. Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets are an ideal medicine to give a child, for they are mild and gentle in their effect, and will cure even chronic constipation. Sold by all druggists, c

The Universal Portland Cement Co., at Buffington, In Lake county, contemplates spending >5,000,000 In enlarging its plant, making its annual capacity more than all the other cement factories in the United States and giving employment to some 800 more men. The continued marvelous growth of cities In the Calumet region indicates that several of the cities located there will in time be merged into one big city. Croup is most prevalent during the dry cold weather of the early winter months. Parents of young children should be prepared for it. All that is needed is a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Many mothers are never without it In their homes and it has never disappointed them. Sold by all druggists. c William J. Gaynor, mayor-elect of New York City, has filed a statement with the secretary of state, In which he swears that he did not expend any moneys in aid of his election. t When you have a cold the first thing to do is have the bowels move. Do not take anything that may constipate—and most old fashioned cough cures do constipate. Try Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup. It drives the cold from the system by a free yet gentle action of the bowels; it stops the cough, it is pleasant to take. Children like it. Sold by all druggists. -
