How He Won the Title.
Down In the Southern states there
Is such a.8urplus of titles the stranger
often grows weary hearing them. Not
long ago a Chicago tourist, who had
halted in a little Georgia town to have
the mud washed off his touring car,
engaged the colored "boots" of the
only hotel in conversation.
"Everybody is a 'judge' or a 'col
onel' or 'major' down here, isnt he,
Sam?" he queried.
."Yes, Bah," replied Sam with a grin.
"Well, who is that angular gentle*
man with the white goatee?"
"Dat am Jedge Chester, sah."
"Judge, eh? What was he ever
judge of?"
"Oh, he's a jedge of a good cigab.
sah. Dat's how he got the title."
BABY ITCHED TERRIBLY:
Pace and Neck Covered with Inflamed
8kln—Doctors No Avail—Cured
by Cutlcura Remedies.
"My baby's face and neck were cgv«
ered with itching skin similar to ecse*
ma, and she suffered terribly for over
a year. I took her to a number of doc
tors, and also to different colleges, to
no avail. Then Cutlcura Remedies:
were recommended to me by Miss G—..
I did not use it at first, as I had tried!
many other remedies without any
favorable results. At last I tried Cutl
cura Soap, Cutlcura Ointment and
Cutlcura Resolvent Pills, and to my
surprise noticed an improvement
After using three boxes of the Cutl
cura Ointment, together with the Soapi
and Pills, I am pfeased to say she is
altogether a different child and the
picture of healtth. Mrs. A. C. Brestlin,

THE CAFE REVOLUTIONIST.
He Isn't Doing Business Any More hr
Havana and la Discouraged.
Maj. Herbert J. s\ocum of the Sec
ond United 8tates cavalry has been
detailed in Cuba for some years. It
was he who brought the guardia ru
rale in that country up to a point of
efficiency, so that the island is safer
now than ever before.
He and his-guard have been very
keen after the persons who plot in*
surrectlon, and as a result the few
remaining ^recalcitrants have had a
miserable time-of it recently.
Some one commented upon the fact,
that there were no tnoro parties of
revolutionisfs to be seen about the
cafes in Havana talking blood and:
drinking coffee.
"No, we've stopped the cafe revolu
tionist," said Maj. Slocum.
"How do they like the change?" he
was asked.
"They don't like it at all. They
don't think we play the game fairly.
"Every well conducted revolutionist
thinks that a cafe is the place to plot
In. But since we've driven a few of
them out to the mountains in the
rainy season resolutions have dropped!
away off in popular favor.
"It isn't such fun plotting In the
wet and there's no one around to see
what a hero you are."

WHAT WA8 IT
The Woman Feared?
What a commit to find it is not "th®
awful thing" feared, but only chronic
indigestion, which proper food can re
lieve.
A woman in..Ohio Bays:
"I was troubled for years with indi
gestion and chronic constipation. At
times I would have such a gnawing
in my stomach tliat I actually feared!
I had a—I dislike to write or evem
think of what I feared.
"Seeing an account of Grape-Nuts:
I decided to try it. After a short time)
I was satisfied the troublq was not:
the awful thing I feared but was stilll
bad enoughs However, I was relieved
of a bad case oif dyspepsia by. chang
ing from improper food to Grape-Nuts.
"Since that time my bowels have
been as regular as a clock. I had also
noticed before I began to eat Grape.
Nuts that I was becoming forgetful ot
where I put little things about the
house, which was very annoying.
"But since the digestive organs have
become strong from, eating' Grape-1
Nuts, my memory Is good and my,
m|nd as cleat as when was young,'
and I am thankful." Name given by
