Mother Expresses Joy at
WONDERFUL CURE BY
CUTICURA REMEDIES
"My husband and five children were
H afflicted with eczema. They had it
two years. We used all the home rem
edies e could hear of, without any
lelief, and then went to a physician
and got medicine two different times,
and it got worse. It affected us all
over except head and hands. We saw
Cuticura Remedies advertised and con
cluded to try them. So I sent for $1.00
worth, consisting of one cake of Cuticura
Soap, one box of Ointment, and one vial
of rills, and we commenced to use them.
I do not know how to express my icy
in finding a cure, for two of my chil
dren were so bad that they have the
brown scars on their bodies where they
were sore. If it will be of any benefit
to you, you can publish my letter with
pleasure. Yours truly, Mrs. Maggie B.
Hill, Stevens, Mason Co., W. Va., June

and the oponel; emphasised with a.
savage sweep of his hand.-"Clean tbem
out! You would better not atUck un
less you mean to do that."
For hours they had plowed through
the mud, eager for the encounter. Be
fore darkness fell the discovery was
made that the enemy numbered four
times as many men as supposed.. It
wouM be madness to hope for more
than a drawn battle, the lieutenant re
flected; and yet the colonel had given
his orders. At daylight the command
er would march on the assumption that
the work was done.
"I can't go back and say I was
afraid," the boy told himself; "but it
would be murder to charge with this
little band. If I had to think only of
myself"
The men lay in a dark line against
the bank of the gully, waiting for the
decision of their leader. If he said
"Charge!" well, they knew It would
be one against four.
There was another hour before he
need act, and the youthful officer gave
way w moodiness. It was far from be
ing poetry this killing of human be
ings in muddy rags like their own.
Hungry, tlreJ, weary of the sickening
duty; surrounded, trapped; a cowardly
retreat on the one hand, a foolish sac
rifice the other way there was little
pomp in it all.
"And I wonder," he thought, in a
listless way, "I wonder where she is
to-night? A half-dozen uniforms about
her, maybe, all spick and span, gen
erals, colonels, captains the devil take
the pack that started this hungry
war!"
A fsw hundred yards behind the gul
ly loomed up an old mansion. As the
men now lay in silence, save for the
dreary, pattering preudle of the rain
and the slushing of mud as one
changed his position slightly, a light
shone out across the wet field from a
window of the house. A moment later
the distant, sweet tones of a piano
were audible. The lieutenant heard the
opening chords with a sense of their
familiarity.
Some one began a song. The words
were not distinct; not even the music
was sharply defined at that distance.
But as the song proceeded, coming out
into the night with a mystic sweetness
and power, the lieutenant remembered
Its mesmeric harmony. Strong in Its
glad volume, and then infinitely, gra
ciou3ly soft; gliding to passionate
height3 and sinking again, gently, to
far-away notes. It was a song with a
peculiar swaying power.
Granton called to mind a certain day
before his uniform grew ragged. The
settings of the song then had been a
fine old room, a glorious woman, a
fascinating voice. It was not a song
that lulls; it thrilled and lifted high
and higher it exalted, until the impos
slble seemed easy to grasp.
As Hie song proceeded the lieutenant
felt the full strength of Its quickening
impulse; and gradually he put away
from himself the weak and unnerving
despondency. It was not alone the
memory of the music that inspired
him, hut the power of the song itself.
Instinctively, too, he knew that the
men had been sharers in the benefit of
- the passionate harmony. Almost be
fore the last note died away on the
night he had the squad afoot, confident
that his own spiritual intoxication was
shared in some measure by his follow
era.
Quickly, stealthily, but with a thrill
of expected triumph, he led the way
through a depression of the ground to
ward the little woods, beyond which
was the outnumbering foe. The leader
had a'ready made known the only
course of action a given point for a
start; a quick, mad charge.
Just beyond the woods a faint indl
cation of a sentry was discerned In i
half defined shadow. The lieutenant
stopped his men with both arms out-
streched as be paused in his track.
Mentally the leader was singing the
rythmic song and his blood surged In
a spiritual drunkenness through hla
veins.
A brief instant of hesitation, then
there was the faintest signal of ringing
steel on the night air as the officer's
word was drawn. Catching up the
Impeding scabbard tne leader moved
toward the edge of the wood. The lit
tle band, deploying, came out of the
deeper shadows In a long line, ranged
against the whole face of the opposing
force. Not a word was spoken; there
was not a cheer, not a sound but the
sudden, whistling swish of the assail
ing line. In the silent advance the
outposts of the enemy were half de
moralized by the sense of an un reck
oned and unestlmated danger.
A preliminary, resisting shot of hap
hazard defence brought a volley In re
turn. Then, with muskets clubbed on
a double quick, the assailants deter
mined the nature of the fight.
At that instant Just one thrilling
"Charge!" was ordered. It came from
the lieutenant, and It was keyed In the
sharp, enthralling harmony of the
song.
It was over soon. The charge Itself
became a will pursuit. , The lieutenant
still led the way until the sword slip
ped from his. fingers and he sank head
long into the soft mud and -lay still,
while his men hurried on. . . ...
It wn hours after, snd 'mother day.

up law those of a woman.. There came
another wondering question into his

to find her there. But his lips formed
a different query.
"The light?" he asked, weakly, and
with tbe brevity of spent strength
"Your colonel Is here," she said, with

"Two wounded and yourself; noth

"It was tha song we heard! In tne

whisper. "Sing it sing it again for

His eyes were closed as the song
ceased and she came back to oend over
him. Suddenly he looked at her and,
with . passionate gesture, took hei
hand In his.
"Last night." he said, "it thrilled me
to conquer an army, if need be; and
now it makes me bold for myself. Last
night I cursed the fates that took m
from you before I could tell you how I
