Physician Called It Eczema In Worct Form Patient Despaired cf Cure Cuticura Remedies Cured Her. "About four years ago I was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and a few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irritation, and which caused me a great deal of Buftciring, to such an extent that I was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of . After a thorough examination of the dreaded complaint they announced it to be skin eczema in the worst form. Their treatment did me no good. Finally 1 became de spondent and decided to discontinue their services. My husband purchased a single set of the Cuticura Remedies, which entirely stopped the breaking out. I continued the use of the Cuti- enra Remedies Tot six months, and after that ever Fplqtch was entirely gone. I have not felt a symptom of the eczema since, which was three years ago. Mrs. Lizzie E.

IkwWi V. tlr), V. U eVC ft'l! 9i COoiyrtgUt, 1W7, by Joseph U. Bowles.) rllERE la honor among the denl ifll zens of Paz ton alley, but Mr. Smlth'3 toy-shop stood at the very entrance, and they reckoned him out of bounds. From time to time evil-looking men muttered to one another about the long stocking that Mr. Smith was supposed to have filled; but ho had figured In the prize ring in his young er days, and he was said to sleep with a big knob stick beside him. So tho matter ended at mutterlngs. A big, powerful man was Mr. Smith; and he had a powerful edge to his tongue. Every one in the alley feared him ezcept Jimmy. Mr. Smith knew him as the extra ordinary paper-boy who brought back a dime given him in mistake for a penny, an event which was his torical in tho alley. At the time It gave rise to doubts as to Jimmy's sanity, but afterward It was held that ho was "playing up to tho old man." j Anyhow, Mr. Smith took two pa pers regularly afterward; and the day after his funeral which was the day beforo Christmas eve a sleek man in a shiny top hat invaded Pazton al ley, escorted by a policeman, and took evidence as to the identity of "the boy called Jimmy who sold pa pers" to the public generally, and in particular to the late Mr. Smith. When the sleek man wa3 satisfied upon this point he proclaimed Jimmy tho sole legatee of the estate, which comprised the little shop and house and all their contents, i "You'll find a long stocking some where, I expect," the lawyer said, "and you'd better bring It to me to take care of; and if 1 were you 1 should take tho name of Smith." Under ordinary circumstances Jim ray .would have been elated by his good fortune, but somehow the world had not interested him lately. He had had a terrible cough for weeks his business exposing him to the climate and jut now he felt tired, Tli.r.r ;:ti-.-t; -. th- TT. lib1.

I He moved in on the morning of Christmas eve, and explored tho house with a kind of numb curiosity. He spent most of the morning in the shop parlor in the arm chair In front of the fire. He did not even go ouf to the quick-lunch room for the beau tiful dinner that he had promised himself. He had taken a lot of milk from the milkman, and he kept drink ing that. He did not seem to care about anything but milk, and every thing felt strange and uncanny. The figure on the mantelpiece a white bearded old gentleman which he be lieved was called Santa Claus-was the strangest and uncannlest of all. The fire was almost out, so he put on some more coal. He saw that It wai nearly four o'clock. "Lurame!" he muttered. "I've let the day go, an' 'aven't done no bus'ness. This won't do. I'll take down, the shutters, an open the shop." i It had been a hard autumn, and the people on whom Paxton alley preyed were short of money. So Pax ton alley was short of money, too. 1 If few entered the shop, them were enough outside. A dozen cold, red blue noses flattened themselves against the glass; a dozen shrill volce3 clamored; a dozen little hands pointed with grimy, chllblalny fingers here and there. Jimmy remembered when ho was a M4" how he used to spend hours at the toy-shop window, and how the woman he lived with then had thrash ed him for spending on marbles a penny of the money he had taken for papers. It was hio own money, he held, or ho wouldn't have done It For, by somo freak of nature, Jimmy wi3 honest. Put now he could hard ly sit up In a chair, and he didn't believe he could walk; but when a ' woman came In for a ten cent doll, 1 ho man&ced to crawl to the window to serve her. Jnf Wih .-crS-4 vaA ..iwte. wi'yw".;;' 1 1 I I I I i I i i 1 1 1 1 There was a wild chorus of recog nition when he appeared between the dingy green curtains that slid along a rail. "Jimmy!" "Jimmy!" "Want any one to run your crrins, Jimmy?" "Yer might give us soraethink, Jim my?" He heard all Uiese greetlugs and a dozen more. He shook his head and returned to his seat. He certainly did feel ill, and he seemed to lose things for a few minutes, until Pill Iilack came In for three little toys. Pill was looked up to in the alley as a man who did "big jobs," and the Placks were generally reckoned well-to-do; but Pill's transactions hadn't been very profitable lately, and he had to be careful, because he knew that the police had their eye on him. So they were hard up, like the rest. "Found the long ttockln', Jimmy?" he asked, casually, when he had taken the toys. "No," said Jimmy. "And if I had it 'u'd be at the lawyer's, Pill, an' don't yer make no mistake." Pill growled under his breath. "If yer didn't look half dead I'd knock yer head orf, yer young hound," he said, "insinywaitln ag'inst an honest man. Coin' to offer to do anythink fer yer, the missus was, wot I'll soon put a stop to now." He gave Jimmy a ferocious fcowl as he went out, and Jimmy resolved that if he found the stocking he would take it to the lawyer at once. He went to the door and faced a crowd of excited faces that ranged in rows from the front of the shop right across the alley. "Jimmy!" tlmy cried. "Give us somethlnk! Yer might, Jimmy!" Jimmy always said afterward that he only did it because he thought he was dying, and the toys would be no use to him, and tho palus In his heart "drawed him out of himself." He tried to speak, but his voice was only a whisper. So he beckoned to a big boy and whispered to him; and the boy stood up on tho doorstep, and shouted to the crowd: "Jimmy's goin to give yer a toy each. Jim my " The big boy went sprawling before the crowd that swayed and struggled in, and Jimmy was driven back to the counter. Women came In to plead for their babies at home. Poys and girls came in to remind him of their broth ers and sisters. Py nine o'clock he had given to every small inhabitant of the a'.iey. Then Jimmy tried to go to bed, but was so weak and giddy that he could not climb the stairs. So he sat in the arm-chair Instead. He felt strange as well as poorly. Tho chairs, the fire-Irons, the coal-scuttle, the table-cover, everything, seemed to turn into fantastic figures, and long tailed demons were running up the blinds. Santa Claus on the mantel piece was scowling and sneering at him. Jimmy got into a sudden rage with Santa Claus and Btruck him with his fist. Santa Claus tottered on the man telpiece, but righted himself. He was moro solid and weighty than Jimmy had imagined, and there was a clink ing sound as he swayed a sound of clinking money. The truth flashed upon Jimmy as he sank back exhaust ed In tho arm-chair. The "long stocking" was In Santa Claus, and ho could not get to It, and he never would, because ho was going to die. He saw Santa Claus leering at him whea he woke, and In his dreams, and when he dozed. Then he sudden ly looked frightened. Some one was knocking loudly at the door. That was whet frightened him. Jimmy woke completely Just as the knocking ceased. He must have been asleep a Icag time, he thought, because the fire was low; and he supposed he had been what they called light headed. There was a grating noise outside the window the noise of some one slipping a knife through the frame to press back the catch. Jimmy struggled to move, but his limbs only wriggled a little. He tried to shout, but no sound came. The shutters came open with a crash, and Pill Plack stepped within. The short. Jagged knife that ho had opened the window with was still In bis hand; and Santa Claus seemed taunting Jimmy. "You've given them my toys," he said. "I'll give him your money." Jimmy closed his eyes to escape the sight of the knife, but he felt Plack looking at him. Then, to his surprise, ho went away into the fchop. Jimmy heard a noise of un barring and unlocking. Then he felt a cool hand on his pulse. "Collapse," a pleasant voice said. "It's lucky we weren't an hour' later." Jimmy opened his eyes, and saw the doctor and Plack bending over him. . "I've been playin at Santa Claus, matey' Plack said. "We Judg-rd yer was pretty bad not to answer the knockln', so I got in. Rare nice toys them was yer gave my young 'uns. Judged yer was pretty bad, so I fetched 'em.' Pill PlacX looked at the fire thoughtfully, and repeated to himself: "Pare nice toys." Then he carried Jimmy upstairs and helped the doc tor put him to bed. He was wonder fully gentle in handling Jimmy. Mrs. Plack was gentler still with Jimmy while she nursed bira and he grew very fend of her. Pill and young Pill were looking after the shop, sho said, and doing "very fair," and she hoped he'd take young Pill In the business. Jimmy nodded and smiled foebl3T he did everything feebly just then ami promised to take young Pill, and said he made no doubt they'd do very welf; but in his heart ho was worried about the business. Three weeks later Jimmy came downstairs to the shop parlor, and the first thing he noticed was that Santa Claus was gone from the man telpiece. He was very weak, and he could not help a few tears coming to his eyes; but he had brushed them away before Pill came in. "Feel all right, boy?'" Pill asked.. "Yes, Pill," Jimmy said. "Pretty fair." "Seems strange down here, don't it?" "A little strange," Jimmy agreed. Pill cut some hard tobacco in the palm of his hand, and whistled soft ly and filled his pipe. "Notice any thing pertlckler strange?" he sug gested. His eyes were on tho man telpiece, where Santa Claus wasn't, and so were Jimmy's. "No," said Jimmy, bravely. "No, Pill." "Not on the mantelshelf! ' Jimmy pressed his finger-nails against his palms. "There was a sort of figure there," he said, "wasn't there's Pill? I I s'pose it got broke. It doesn't matter, Pill. It it wasn't worth nothink." Pill laughed and slapped his leg with hla hand. "Yer ain't no Judeo of figures, matey, I can see. That 'ere was a curious old piece of stuff, an' valerble, or I ain't no Judge. I took tho notion o lockln' lm away upstairs, Jimmy " Rill put his gn-at hand on the boy's shoulder. "The long stockin were Inside him! Over a thousand dollars. I took the liberty of usin the odd money in the bus'ness for yer, but the thousand is there. An It's lucky fer yer, matey, as yer was dealin' with an honest man wot mifeht have been diffrlnt if you hadn't given the kids them toys!" For there Is honor among Paxton alley; and Paxton alley extends to the toy shop now Jimmy and young Dill are there! A TERRIBLE CONDITION. Tortured by Sharp Twinges, Shooting Pains and Dizziness.

There was no fire In the smoking car and everybody was blue and trem ulous with cold. "My feet fairly ache," said a clergy man. Then a drummer, winking at his neighbors, pulled out a flask of whis ky. "Here's the best tiling going for cold feet, friend," he said. And the clergyman extended his hand for the bottle eagerly. "You bet it is," said he. He poured a huge drink into tho Klass. lifted it toward the drummer with a "Here's looking at you, sir," and then, slij.plng off his boots, emptied tie whisky into them.

HORSES THAT WOULDNT DROWN Remarkable Deeds Recorded by Two Veracious Chroniclers. An Albanian who has just returned from the east, where freshets have been the rule, tells the following about a horse which had been attached to a foot bridge crossing a brook, to keep the structure from going adrift. Tho flood finally swept horse and bridge down stream. Later, the bridge was discovered lodged against the bank, with tho horse sitting quiet ly on the former. A bystander who had listened in tently to this tale, remarked quietly: "I see suthin', slmllyar oncet." "Indeed? What was It?" asked the story teller. "Ye see," was the reply, "arter the hoss I see was tooklown stream, no buddy ever "spected to son him alive agin.
