“Can't Cut Off My Leg”
Says Railroad Engineer
‘*1 am a railroad engineer; about 20 years
ago my leg was seriously Injured in an
accident out West. Upon my refusing to
allow the doctor to amputate it I was
told it would be impossible to heal the
wound. I have tried all kinds of salves
and had many doctors in the past 20
years, but to no avail. Finally I resolved
to use PETERSON’S OINTMENT on my
leg. You cannot Imagine my astonish

over 100 things had failed to do. My leg

THE FAIRIES* HOLIDAY*
ONE morning when Elsie got op
she found H was raining tery
hard" and that of course-put an end to
all that Elsie had planned for the day.
She was to take her lunch with
some other girls and their mothers
wnd go to the park for a picnic:
Elsie did not want any breakfast.
She did not want to say good morning
even. She was cross at everybody be
cause It rained.
“I jurt think It Is too mean for, any
thing, this old rain to come and spoil
our fun,”, she said.,
“But, my dear, the park will be
much sweeter nnd cleaner'after the
rain,” said her mother. "Be a good,
cheerful little daughter and smile.”
But Elsie would not smile,; ' She
pouted and even cried, and when
breakfast was over she went sulkily
upstairs to the playroom and looked
out of the window.
“Horrid old raindrops 1” Elsie said.
“I just hate raindrops.”
"Oh, I am sorry,” said a voice; be
side her; “for those are my sisters out
there on the window pane.”
On the arm of the big chair In which
she was sitting, Elsie saw a pretty lit
tle -creature all in silver, which
sparkled like a diamond, and she knew
that her visitor was a fairy, because
she carried a wand. .
“I am sorry you hate the raindrops,”
said the fairy again.;, “I am sure you

and then cleaned again with chalk.
They look beautifully white!
To keep them white—though milk,
white teeth are no longer considered
so beautiful—a little peroxide may be

“No; I didn’t,” said Elsie. “I never

When Elsie ^opened her eyes, for,
of:;course, she had been asleep, the
Fairy had gone. But outside were all
the little raindrops chasing each other
down the window pane, and as Elsie
watched them with great interest now
one drop, larger thah the others,
stopped until it was pushed on .by the
others. 1 ‘ < »’’ ** ; >

have a good time,” she said, “and I'll

It rains, for I shall know it Is a fairy
