Invalid—Doctor, I must positively

Dr. Wise—Well, I guess my bill will

Quaint Table Manners.
Jerome S. McWade, the Duluth mil-
lionaire, talked at a dinner about the
delights of a backwoods vacation.
"I go to a quaint backwoods village
every summer," he said, "and number-
less are the quaint people I meet
there.
"Old Boucher, for instance, the jan-
itor of the .village church, is most
amusing with his quaint ways. I had
old Boucher to lunch one day, and
the cold lobster was served with a
mayonnaise sauce. When my servant
offered this sauce to Boucher, the old
man stuck his knife In It, took up a
little on the blade, tasted it, then
shook his head and said:
" 'Don't choose none.' "

El Paso, Tex.—With the mayor of
the city and one fireman dead, four j
firemen Injured and one of the hand- ■
somest buildings and the largest dry j
goods stock In the -city in ashes, i£l |
Paso is now in gloom. Smoke was j
seen Issuing from the basement of |
the Calisher Dry Goods Company, in
the Buckler Block Sunday morning.
The fire department was promptly
the scene and fought the unseen fire
for three liqurs, when the flames final-
ly burst through the roof. All efforts
were then directed to confine the fire
to the Buckler building.
The tragedy came at 9:50 when the
falling walls buried Mayor Robinson,
who had run within the danger line
to beg the firemen to get away, and
the six firemen he was trying to save.
The mayor and fireman Todd Ware,
were instantly killed and Assistant
Fire Chief Dave Sullivan and Fireman
Robinson are seriously injured. Fire-
men Smith and Cook escaped without
injury by crowding into the entrance
of the building. A great crowd on
their way to and from church witness-
ed the tragedy, among them being
Mayor Robinson's wife and two chil-
dren.
The dead: Mayor William F. Robin-
son, every bone in Jiis body broken;
died instantly; Fireman Todd Ware,
of Sablnal, both legs and both arms
broken and skull crushed; died in-
stantly.
The Injured: Assistant Fire Chief
Dave Sullivan, scalp wounds and
bruises; will recover. Fireman Wil-
liam Robinson, leg and arm broken,
internal injuries; serious. Fireman
Arthur Hull and L. E. Barber, slight.
The total loss will amount to not less
than $300,000, as follows: Mrs. C. N.
Buckler, on building, $60,000; insur-
ance, $30,000; Calisher Dry Goods
Company, stock and fixtures, $200,000;
insurance, $125,000. American Na-
tional Bank, which had temporary
quarters in the building while Its new
building was being erected. $1,500; in-
sured. There were twenty-nine other
tenants occupying offices and rooms
in the building, all of whom except
one lost everything because of their
confidence in the ability of the fire-
men to confine the fire to the base-
ment.
"I wish to thank you for the sample
of Resinol Soap sent me several
weeks ago," writes Mrs. M. F. Clem-
mer, Sunbury, Pa. "At that time my
baby's face was like a raw and bleed-
ing piece of meat. Medicine from
three different physicians, besides va-
rious salves recommended by friends,
all seemed to make the Eczema worse.
Then another mother recommended
Resinol Ointment which I procured at
once, although I had no more faith In
it than In the rest I had tried; but
never did 1 spend fifty cents to better
advantage. The first and second days
I noticed a remarkable change, and
now at the end of the third week, my
pretty blue-eyed, rosy-cheeked baby Is
perfectly well again. I think the cure
was surely something remarkable.
Resinol Ointmsnt and Soap did In
three woeks what everything else
failed to do in four months. My baby
had been positively disfigured, now
hiB complexion Is all right again."
Resinol Ointment cures all skin
troubles, from pimples to the most dis-
figuring eruptions and rashes. • The
first application stops the intense itch-
ing of Eczema, Itching Piles, Pruritus,
etc., and subdues the pain of a burn
or scald instantaneously. It is sold
In every leading drug store in the
world.

In the Desert.
Here is a glimpse of the horrors of
a western desert, taken from the Gold-
field (Nev.) News: "Another desert
victim is reported, and Archie Camp-
bell, manager of the Last Chance
mining property near Death valley,
came to Goldfield "yesterday to en-
deavor to establish the Identity of the
unfortunate.
"Mr. Campbell encountered the un-
known man on the desert In a fright-
ful condition. He was In the last
stages of desert exhaustion, devoid
of clothing, sunburned, blistered and
crazed, with his tongue swollen enor-
mously, a pitiable object, and unable
to speak.
"He was tenderly conveyed to camp
and everything possible done for him.
but kind aid came too late, for an
hour after he had absorbed the first
cu# of water he expired."
TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON
Per Cent, of Sufferers Is Enormous
and There Seems but One
Remedy.
From, several Investigations that
have been made -by the National As-
sociation for the Study and Preven-
tion of Tuberculosis, it Is estimated
that on an average about fifteen per
cent, of the prison population of the
country Is afflicted with tuberculosis.
On this basis, out of the 80,000 prison-
ers housed In the penal Institutions
of the United States at any given
time, not less than 12,000 are infected
with this disease. If the Philippine
islands and other Insular possessions
were taken into consideration the
number would be much larger. Some
of the prisons of Pennsylvania, Kan-
sas and Ohio show such shocking con-
ditions with reference to tuberculosis
that many wardens admit that these
places of detention are death traps.
Similar conditions could bo found in
almost every state, and in the major-
ity of cases the only sure remedy Is
the destruction of the old buildings
and the erection of now ones.

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS LOSS
Appalling Devastation by Floods in
Japan.
Tokio.—The devastation wroght
throughout many districts by the re-
cent floods is appalling. Whole vil-
lages and towns have been washed
away and many lives have been lost.
In secfions of Tokio alone 30,000
houses are submerged. Communica-
tion by railroad throughout the flood-
ed area has been interrupted. The
loss amounts to millions of dollars.

A Bernhardt Trick.
Mine. Sarah Bernhardt, who Is sup-
posed to be something of an artist as
well as an actress, was recently call-
ed upon In one of hev marvelous crea-
tions to enact the role of a sculptor,
and to model a certain bust In view of
the audience. This fairly electrified
the critics, but when going Into rhap-
sodies over the technical skill In han-
dling the clay which Mine. Bernhardt
exhibited they showed that, they knew
little of the artistic tricks of actors
and actresses; as a matter of fact, she
does nothing of the kind. The bust
Is modeled and baked, and over It Is
placed damp clay of the same color.
This the talented actress merely pulls
off, exposing the beautifully modeled
head underneath.

LEG A MASS OF HUMOR
"About seven years ago a small
abrasion appeared on my right leg
just above my ankle. It Irritated me
»o that I began to scratch it, and it
began to spread until my leg from my
ankle to the knee was one solid scrale
like a scab. The irritation was always
worse at night and would not allow
me to sleep, or my wife either, and it
was completely undermining our
health. I lost fifty pounds in weight
and was almost out of my mind with
pain and chagrin as no matter where
the irritation came, at work, on the
street or In the presence of company,
I would have to scratch it until I had
| the blood running down into my shoe.
I simply cannot describe my suffer-
ing during those seven years. The
pain, mortification, loss of sleep, both
to myself and wife is simply Inde-
scribable on paper and one has to ex-
perience It to know what it Is.
"I tried all kinds of doctors and rem-
edies but I might as well have thrown
my money down a sewer. They would
dry up for a little while and fill me
wi^i hope only to break out again just
as bad If not worse. I had given up
hope of ever being cured when I was
Induced by my wife to give the Cutl-
cura Remedies a trial. After taking
the Cuticura Remedies for a little
while I began to see a change, and
after taking a dozen bottles of Cuti-
cura Resolvent in conjunction with
Jhe Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment, the trouble had entirely disap-
peared and my leg was as fine as the
day i was born. Now after a lapse of
six months with no signs of a recur-
i rence I feel perfectly safe In extend-
: Ing to you my heartfelt thanks for the
1 good the Cuticura Remedies have done
for me. I shall always recommend
them to my friends. W. H. White,
312 E. Cabot St., Philadelphia, Pa., Feb.
4 and Apr. 13, 1909."
The Summer Girl.
"How'd you like to be engaged to a
millionaire ?"
"I was engaged to one all last sum-
mer, and he seldom spent a dime. I
want to be engaged to a young man
who Is down here for two weeks with
about $300 in his roll."
One Side Enough.
Senator William Alden Smith tells
of an Irish justice of tlie peace out
in Michigan. In a trial the evidence
was all in and the plaintiff's attorney
had made a long and very eloquent
argument, when the lawyer acting for
the defense arose.
"What are you doing?" asked the
justice, as the lawyer began.
"Going to present our side of tho
case."
"I don't want to hear both sides ar-
gued. It has a tindency to confuse
the coort."—Washington Ian.
