OPINION NOT ALWAYS FINAL
Pretty Safe to Say That Doctor's
Diagnosis Was "Away Off"
In This Case.
The pretty daughter of a physician
Is engaged to a college student of
whom her father does not altogether
approve. His daughter is too young
.to think of' marriage, the doctor as
serts; the college student is too
young to think of it, likewise. It is
out of the question.
She explained all this to her lover
the other night.
"Father says," she summed it up;
"father says, dear, that I will have to
give you up."
The young man sighed. ."Then It's
-all over?" he murmured, with gloomy
?interrogation. And the girl laughed
.and blushed.
*"Well," she said, "well, you-you
-to that when the doctor gives you
- up that's just the time for you to take
more' hope. Isn't It sometimes that
wiay?"-Reboboth Sunday Herald.
As It Appeared in Print.
Benator Newlands of Nevada was
soaring in debate one day, soaring so
-high he "hit the ceiling." He realized
he was getting a trifle fowery and to
excuse himself said: "Indeed, Mr.
President, perfervid oratory may be
pardoned, for this 'subject furnishes
* all the food eloquence needs."
That sounded pretty good to Mr.
Newlands, but he was a bit abashed
-when he read In the Congressional
' It.,. ecord next day that he asserted his
I "opic-"furnished all the food elephants
-neesi."
* Very Tortubus Indeed.
Th~e late Hugh 1. Grant of New
York once talked atxa political ban
quet, about a noted corporation law
yer.
"Oh, yes, he's a grand mind," he
said. "A grand legal mind. He's got
the most tortuous mind in America."
Mr. Grant shook his head.
"A tortuous mind indeed," he re
peated. "Why, If he swallowed a
nail, he'd bring up a screw."

Boston.-Col. William P. Pittman,
here visiting relatives, told how he
worked a gatling gun for the Estrada
forces, and lay four months in Nica
raguan dungeons when'he was cap
tured as the ragged colonel of a rag
ged squad. Col. Pittman smilingly de
clared as he looked down from his
altitude of six feet two inches at his
interviewer that he was entitled to the
military prefix that is claimed by
most Kentuckians and that he got t
by order of the last batch of Nicara
quan revolutionists that won out and
have recently made Juan Estrada pro
visional president of the republic.
Col. Pittman is from Cambridge,
Mass., and isqan electrical engineer.
He had been working on the Panama
canal and had struck up a friendship
with Carlos Charmorro, brother of the
leader of the. revolutionary forces,
Gen. Emiliana Charmorro.
Salvador Charmorro, father of the
General, had a store in Panama City
and it was through the storekeeper,
who was also a friend of the young
American (a colonel at 26), that Pitt
man negotiated to join a force of rev

Five of them were in favor of 'lioot

The colonel was in rags, as sud% of
the other revolutionists were that had
any clothing at alb. He was marched
miles along a sandy beach, sometismnes
wading in water knee deep, carrymng
most of the time one end of a pole' in
the middle of which was a heavy l'OX
containing silver coin to pay the MAd

other end of the pole was a ColombIan

The colonel said it was very "tough
going" and that when it was over and
he was finally put into a narrow cell
at Castillo on the San Juan river he
still had a sore shoulder. The colo

cell, mostly with a Jamaican negro as
a cellmate.

There were 600 prisoners in the Ma

Chicago.-A fashion note from Lon- c
don tells us that, as woman's weapon,
the hatpin is to be superseded by a
stiletto held in the garter. Fashion
does not date her decrees from Lon
don, and we may, therefore, be per
mitted to doubt the authenticity of
the item. The picture shows how a
stiletto is worn in the garter-a cus
tom followed, perhaps, in Imitation
of that of the women of Lombardy
during the Austrian occupation. Be
ware, then, lest calf love turn to calf
hate!
There are several reasons why the
hatpin will never give way to a stilet
to held in the place mentioned. For
readiness, accessibility, and cheap
ness the hatpin exceeds all other
weapons to woman's hand. It is un
sheathed by a single upward move

Love and M
Ow
.- By M. SCHI
"I'm afraid it's all of no use, Jack. I c
ar," said Edna Vane. Papa simply o
ill not appreciate you. Why," indig
Intly, "he actually called you a 'jack tl
all Trades' the other day!" -
Jack Farrows burst into a hearty o
ugh. "That's what a poor fellow gets m
ir not being lucky enough to possess c
millionaire uncle, or a friend to put ii
Im wise on the stock exchange," he ji
id merrily. Then more seriously he t
Ided: "I would make good though, if b
1ly I could get the chance. Could I s,
lp it that Smyers & Rickets went to p
nash, or that Jedson & Keith moved d
another city? Yet both times when
was thrown out of a job your father a
emed to blame me for it. But, never f
ind. I'll win him over yet; wait and a
e if I don't!" s
"There's only one way you can do s
at, Jack, dear," said Edna thought- r
L11y. "Papa always takes a liking to a
ie person who can get the best of t
m. But the only way you can possi
y succeed in that would be to get k
m excited, and then close the deal c
ithout giving him a moment to tlir-k j
over; for daddy never makes a mis
Lke after considering a thing. Why,
ie newspapers actually called him a
-izard' the other day, just think of
.at," she ended, proudly. t
"Um! Welr, I'll put on my think
g cap, and set to work. I'd better go
>w, I supposf, before he starts to
ind the alam clock. Good-night,
ar. Don't be discouraged; we'll find
way out of this somehow." 0
A few evenings later, Edna sat op- r
site her father in the library, vainly
ideavoring to fix her thoughts upon
ie book she held in her hands. She
Kpected Farrows that evening, but
he had also expected her father to
ave town on business that very after
yon, and at the last moment he had
ecided to postpone the trip. She f
arted nerv, usly as the sound of the I
ell pealed through the house. A few
oments later, Roberts, an old gray- I
irea servant who served in the ca- 8
acity of butler, entered the room and
anded her Farrows' card.
"Who is it?" asked her father, test
y, frowning at the card over the edge I
f his paper. "Who-that Farrows 1
ha' again? It's about time you gave a

J'

i his walking papers, Edna. He's
ot no push or backbone; don't stick
anything, and will never be rich in1
Is life. Send the fellow about his
usiness."
"But I will have to see him this..eve- 1
ing, papa," began Edna, pleadingly.
He knows that I'm at home, and will
el hurt if I refuse to see him. Show
imn In Roberts."
Farrows entered the room, smiling
rato Edna's great brown eyes, which
ere fill'ed with apprehensive disap
ointment as she rose to greet him.
Good evening. Miss Vane. I am
>rtunate, indeed, In finding you unen
;aged for the evening. Good evening,
Ir. Vane. I hope you have recovered
rom that cold."
"Humph!" grunted Mr. Vane, with
iut lifting his eyes from his paper.
Farrows looked embarrassed for an
stant, and Edna flushed with indig
aton at her father's rudeness. She
rondered how Jack could talk so calm
r and interestingly aftes having re
elved such an insult. Indeed, so well
id he touch upon the leading topics
if the day that Edna, little as she un-1
Lerstood politics, sat listening as if3
ascinated, and Mr. Vane, In spite of
iimself, was drawn Into the conver
~aton.
"You're right, you're right!" he ex
laimed grudgingly to one of Farrows'
'emarks. "But at the same time, a
nan can't hire decent help at respect
ble wages nowadays. Take the
~rounds about my house, for instance.
'ears ago, I could get a man to cut
he grass and trim the shrubbery for
0 cents a day, and now they want
wo dollars for the same job. Think1
,f it-two dollars a day for work of
hat kind! Robbery, actual robbery!" <
Farrows was suddenly struck with
n Idea.
"Mr. Vane." he exclaimned, leahing;
yard, eagerly. "I've a proposition
o take you. I'll keep the grounds<
bouf your house in order for--well,1
y 20 days. I'll guarantee the bestt
w~rk, and-start with the minimum
I y of one cent a day, upon ihe<

C. Is it a go?" .
Mr. Vane stared as if he considered
ie young man bereft of his senses.
Humph! Of all the hair-brained idi
ts. young man, you are certainly the
orst I have ever met with!" he ex
laimed; then, a sudden light dawning
1 his eyes, he acded coldly. "But
ist to teach you a good lesson, I'll
ke you up on that. Perhaps a little
ard work will put some common
ence into your head. Edna, get the
en and ink and some paper from my
sk."
Edna threw Farrows a look of
azement as she passed behind her
ther's chair. Five minutes later, the
greement was drawn up and properly
gned, and each party was in posses'
ion of a copy. Soon afterwards Far
>ws took his leave, and Edna, against
li rules of etiquette, followed him to
he door.
"Jack! Do you actually mean to
eep that agreement. The work of a
ommon laborer, and at such wages!
ack, what are you thinking of?"
Jack laughed heartily. i
"Clean, honest work won't hurt any
e," he said reassuringly, "and as for
he money end of it, don't worry about
hat; just get a pencil and paper and
gure it all out for yourself. Don't for
et to double each day's salary for the
ext day's. Why, I'll be rich before
hose 20 days are over. Just figure it
ut and see," he ended gayly.
After Jack left Edna went to her
oom and busied herself with pencil
ad paper as he suggested. After a
hort period of figuring she lifted a
eaming face to the glass opposite and
egarded herself with eyes filled with
appy surprise.
"Edna Vane," she exclaimed joy
ully, "you're just the luckiest, hap
lest girl that ever lived and you're
ot half worthy of him either!" Then
irl like, she snatched Jack's photo
maph from the table nearby and cov
red it with kisses.
Had not Mr. Vane taken it for
,ranted that Jack's sole object in ma
ing so unusual an offer was simply tc
e near his daughter while working
bout her home he would have given
he matter more serious -thought. As
t was he took secret delight in de
troying his plans by sending Edna on
visit to a distant relative. The
noney part of the agreement he did
iot even take the trouble of consider
ng-At was agreedsthat Jack was tc

tue him when the 20 days were over.
It was on the evening of Edna's ar
ival home that Farrows took the lib
rty of calling, a moment of triumpi
hich he had patiently waited anc
nged for..
"Humph! You have evidently for
rotten your place, sir. The rear door
the proper entrance for my hired
~elp, and besides Roberts has entire
~harge of all servants' complaints and
uarrels."
"Why, papa, how can you?" ex
~laimed Edna, indignantly. Farrows,
owevr, remained perfectly at his
ase.
"Begging your pardon,- Mr. Vane,'
e began in mock humility, "but I an

"Take it to Roberts, I say. He'll set

"But will Roberts have enough casi

'or exactly $5,242.58, sir."
"What?" snorted Mr. Vane con
emptuously. "No fooling, no fooling
~oung man. I have no .time to waste

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED
"I have suffered from the same trou
ble (painful finger nails) at different
periods of my life. The first time of
its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, I asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but it was
not for a year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The inflamma
tion and suppuration began at the
base of the finger nail. Sometimes It
was so painful that I had to use a
poultice to induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
of inflammation, -possibly not more
than a week or two afterwards. These
frequent inflammations resulted in the
loss of the nail. I had sometimes as
many as three fingers in this state at
one time.
"Perhaps ten years later I began
again to suffer from the same trouble.
Again I tried various remedies, among
them a prescription from a doctor of
a friend of mine, who had suffered.
from a like trouble. This seemed to
help somewhat for a time, but it was
not a permanent cure; next tried a
prescription from my own doctor, bu+
this was so irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that I could not use it.
I began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. I had used the Cutieura
Ointment previously on my children's
scalps with good effect. I did not use
the Soap exclusively, but I rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment Into the base of
the nail every night thoroughly, and
Ia often beside as I could. I hal not
Inails were better, and in a short-time
thywere apparently well. There
was no more suppuration, nor Inflam
mation, the nails grew out clean
laain. One box of Cuticura Ointment
was all that I used in -effecting a
cure." (Signed) Mrs. I. .T. Horton,
Katonah, N. Y., Apr. 13, 1910. On
Sept. 21, Mrs. Horton wrote: "I have .
