"Hy Jingo, but what are you trying

"I tlioiiglit I would ae bow near 1

"Oh. you did, fh? Tbi'ii you willful

wheelbarrow mid alood rt-udy to n-pel
an assault, Hiid the muti rubbed bin
left li-g and continued:
"Are you audi u lunklii'itd that you

running It on tin- sidewalk. Itegonu
lib it Imforw I Kit my pnw on you
The Idea of turning a boy of your ari
liaise to malm ami cripple and alaugh
1....1" Humpy waa suppressed for the mo
ment and ot his burrow lu motion
after two collisions with the fence and
safely turned the next corner-that la.
It waa safety for him, but In the turn
ing he drove three pedestrians off the
walk, and one of them came near fall
ing on tho pavement and recovered
himself to about:
"liov. why didn't they give you a
packagt) of dynamite and turn you
loose? Hy (ieorge, but lt' got ao that
a man'a life Isn't safe even on the
rnnt nt hla own house!"
Two minutes later the Jackaon boy
came down the atreet on the opposite
Ide. He bad been to the grocery and
bad a dien eggs and three bam of
aoap under bla arm.
"Hello, Hump! But where ye goln'T
be called.
"Alter aand."
"Come over, and we'll auck aome
alga."
It waa a great temptation to Humpy.
He had aueked t-KK before, and bli
Adani'a apple worked up and down as
lis rememhi. red how sneedlly and eat-
lafactortly the yolks had allpped down
hla throat and brought complacency to
him for au hour afterward. That was
before be had ever started to run a
wheelbarrow ou the sidewalk, now
erer. Now be somehow felt that egg
aucklng was a boyish business and far
beneath his dlwulty. He had Been that
men and women were afraid of hla
Urrow, and he wondered If boys would
beIf Tim Jackson would be. The
only way to find out waa to make a
teat.
While the eyea of the other boy were
upon blm lu envloua mood Humpy rose
up, grasped the handles of the barrow
and made a furloua dash across the
atreet. Had It been a runaway ice

ere toe tvarrow 'area witniii t feet of
blm. Humpy uttered warwhoop and
pursued, an! egg and aoap were scat
tered on the eldewalk.
No llvlnir man or Iot can push
wheelbarrow very far In a straight (
tine, no matter how alow hla pace, j
When be cornea to a run hla counw la
iik a rail fence. In going a block 1
Humpy tickled the lega of half a down I
men, almost rim Into three atorea and j
scared a grocer's home Into a runaway, 1
but hla ardor didn't abate nntll he .
struck a fnt man and brought him j
down with a great crash.
A cobbler ran out of hla ehop and
aelxcd the txiy and barrow until it
could be ascertained whHher the fat 1
Din n bad been killed on the siiot or
only crippled for life and out of the
political reform movement It waa
1 wo mlnulin before the oiieaiion win
decided. Then the fnt man roue up !
and begun to talk. He called Humpy
Ruinner about 150 bad name.. He I
threatened him with over 200 different
kind of punishment. He abused hla ,
father and vowed be would never take ;
bla hat off to hla mother, and the way
be did lip that old wheelbarrow np the j
back put a new wabble In the wheel.
"I don't know what thla la all about,"
said Humpy, when the fat man had
finally got out of breath.
"But you run him over mlt dot wheel
barrow," explained the cobbler.
"Tint how iwuld I heln It? Haven't I
a right to chase a hoy with a wheel-'
barrow?"
"Maybe ao, but haf you aome right
to run a fat man over?"
"Hut be got in the way. When be
aaw ine coming why didn't he climb a
fence or dodge Into a atore?"
"Hear the cold blooded young villain
talkT groaned the victim. "Why, boy
why -why"
And then he awelled up again and
grew red In the face and gasped for
breath and could ay no more. The
cobbler went to pat film on the back
n.i uni him Into a aewlng machine
place where new and secondhand uia
chlnea were Hold on the Installment
plan, and Humpy look advantage of
the occasion to make bla escape.
He wax sobered up a little aa he
panned on. but only for a short time.
He aaw a large dog atandlng on the
onrner whllo Its maBter waa in the
drug atore to get something for a cold
In the head. The dog waa loosing
acroaa the atreet at a red beaded boy
who waa washing a atore window, and
be hadn't the allghteat Idea that his lire
waa in peril. No sooner bad Humpy
caught sight of the canine than he had
a plan. It aa to strike the dog fair
in the middle with the wheel of hla
barrow and throw him thirty feet high,
the aame aa If he bad been caoght on a
cowcatcher.
It waa a run of a hundred feet with
no one In t war and Humpy.trot up
onthi
team to heat an express, 'me wneei
barrow wabbled about, but for the last
ten feet It kept a straight course. The
dog was still looking at the red headed
!, nd wondering If he ever atole har
vest apples out In the country, when
all at once the wheel struck him. He
went down, Instead of up, and Humpy
and the barrow went over him. Boy,
dog and burrow were plied In a heap.
The dog recovered himself first and bit
the boy and the barrow, ami Humpy'a
bowls soon collected a crowd. Home or.
them said that a building had collapaed
and killed seven men and other that
a street car had run over a coal dealer,
but the policeman who came running
up soon straightened out thing.

In reply he tmr-it into tears.

' From the verr earliest times the
palm tree has been recognized as a
avmtiol of victory. Among the Creeks
and the Homana palm branches were
used to decorate the buildings and
streets of their cities In honor of the
return of a victorious army. Thin cus
tom appears to have been taken from
the eastern nation, but from what oue
In particular no one now knows. At a
very early 8e the Hebrews were ac
customed to carry palm branches on
ail occasions of rejoicings. This cus
tom having leen observed on the entry
of Christ into Jerusalem, the tree has
come to bear a special symbolism
among Christians. The primitive
church used it to express the triumph?
Df the Christian over death througn uie
resurrection. As early aa the second
century A. V. It became the custom to
carve palm branches on the tombstones
of those who had died for the faith,
and about the tame time ail picture

Little Girl's Obstinate Case of
Eczema Instantaneous Relief
By Cuticura Little Boy's Hands
and Arms Also Were a Mass
of Torturing Sores Grateful
Mother Says :
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"
" In reply to your letter I write you
my experience, and you are privileged
to une it aa you see fit. Last year,
afer having my little gjrl treated by a
very prominent physician for an obsti
nate case of eczema, 1 resorted to the
Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physician's prescription and relied en
tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six week
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence of the trouble.
"In July of this year a little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and anna
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were a mass
of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
anointed them with the Cuticura Chnt
ttu Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks ha
hands and arms healed up; so we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from a doctor, and where
it costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.
Respectfully, Mrs. Lizzie Vincent
