Eruptions The only way to get rid of pimples and other erup tions is to cleanse the Mood, improve the digestion, stim ulate the kidneys, liver and skin. The medicine to take is Hood's SarsaparQIa Which has cored thousands. "Esprit d Corps." AH the tiny cripples In the neighbor hood of the settlement house, together . with a few able-bodied children, had been feasted on cake and lemonade. When one of the deformed mites was ready to go home he missed his coat, which search failed to find. The young woman who had been ministering to the wants of the company had seen one of the able-bodied girls go out with something under her shawl too bulky to be secreted cake. "Run, my dear, to Jenny." she said to one of the lads. "In picking up her shawl perhaps she got hold of some thing else by mistake." The boy moved off on his stumpy crutch, and when he returned he held the coat up in triumph. The "accident" had happened; Jenny had picked it up with the shawl. The crippled children crowded close round the young woman in great per turbation. Their self-respect had been wounded, and they looked disdainfully at the few sound children among them. Finally one of the lads said: "Miss Martin, it ain't one of us that did it. Jenny ain't a cripple; she's on'y a Sunday school!" Voice Prom Arkansas. Cleveland, Ark., August IS (special) Nearly every newspaper tells of some wonderful cure of some form of Kidney Disease by the Great American Rem edy, Dodd's Kidney Fills, and this part of Arkansas is not without its share of evidence that no case is too deeply rooted for Dodd's Kidney Fills 1o cure. Mr. A. . Carlile, well known and highly respected here, tells of his cute after nearly a quarter of a century's suffering. Mr. Carlile says: "I want to let the public know what I think of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I think they are the best remedy for eick kidneys ever made. "I had Kidney Trouble for 23 years and never found anything that did me so much good as Dodd's Kidney Pills. I recommend them to all sufferers." There is no unceitain sound about Mr. Carlile's statement. He knows that Dodd's Kidney Pills rescued him from a life of suffering and he wants the public to know it. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure all Kidney ills from Back ache to Bright's Disease. Cavalrymen Who Ride Oxen. The oddest cavalry In the world is maintained on the west coast of Ma dagascar by Governor General J. G. Gallieni. While the French troops In that country are ample to meet the occasional revolutions, the governor general makes use of the native talent for police work In out of the way lo calities. On the west coast of Africa is a tribe of natives, possibly racially connected with the Hovas, who are known aa the Sakahova, the most warlike tribe of the country. The na tives, in imitation of French troop ers, organized an oxen cavalry corps, under command of a French officer. They are armed with modern long handled lances or spears and aide arms.

Stanley, who died in London on May 10th, will rest on his exploration of the upper Congo and of equatorial Af rica, It Is bis search for David Living stone through the African jungles and his finding of the missing missionary at Ujiji, on the shore of Tanganuika, that appeals most to the dramatic feel ing of the world. In ''Eccentricities of Genius," Major J. B. Pond quotes a writty reference to this achievement, which was made by Mark Twain in in troducing Mr. Stanley to a Boston au dience. "I am not here to .disparage Colum bus," said Mr. Clemens. "No, I won't do that. But when you come to re gard the achievements of these two men, Columbus and Stanley, from the standpoint of the difficulties they en countered, the advantage'is with Stan ley and against Columbus. "Columbus started out to discover America. He didn't need to do any thing at all but sit in the cabin of his ship, hold his grip and sail straight on. and America would discover itself, Here it was, barring his passage the whole length and breadth of two con tinents. He couldn't get past it. He'd got to discover it. "But Stanley started out to find Doc tor Livingstone, who was scattered scattered abroad, as you may say, over the length and breadth of a vast slab of Africa as big as the United Staes, It was a blind search for one of the worst scattered of men." In October, 1870, Stanley started out from Bombay on his search 'for Doctor Livingstone on behalf of two newspa pers. The great missionary and geog rapher, on the last sad trip of his life, had plunged into the heart of Africa from the east coast in the spring of 1866. For five years he had been fighting for his life against the rav ages of fever and disease, contending vainly against his old foes, the slave- traders, and wandering slowly about, studying the regions to the west and south of Tanganyika, cared for and aided by the natives, who reverenced him as a superior being. Stanley moved inland from Zanzi bar In the spring of 1871. By Juue he had reached Unyanyembe, where he was again delayed. At last he was able to proceed into that vast wilder ness, somewhere in which was Living stone. Whether Livingstone had gone across toward the west coast or had tried to move northward toward the Nile valley Stanley did not know. The fact was that Livingstone, In ex tremity, had returned to Tanganyika, and had reached Ujiji. There, where new supplies should have reached him, he learned that all had been stolen. He was almost hopeless and helpless, an old man. ill, alone, with only the friendship of a few native tribes be tween him and death. In the nick of time Stanley arrived, after a month of wandering and terri ble hardship. The meeting between the two was most dramatic. To Liv ingstone it meant new life. It buoyed him up till all the hardships were for gotten. Together the two explored Tanganyika, and then went back to Unyanyembe, where Stanley provided Livingstone with new supplies and a new party of faithful blacks. The old missionary returned to the jungle, to die a few months later, and Stanley re traced his steps to g?ive the" world the story of his achievement. Cards, but Not a Draw. "Did you ever try to play cards by telephone?" queried the telephone man. "Never? Well, I have been ex perimenting with it, and, despite the fact that it has some drawbacks,, it is highly interesting, and ought to be come a fad. "My wne and I planned to go visit ing a few nights ago, but an evening Oi. rain spoiled our preparations. That was where L got busy, and after mak ing a few preliminary plans I decided that we ought to be able to have a visit by telephone, even to including the playing of whist. "I have a desk telephone in our din ing room, and so I soon had a table arranged and brought out a deck of cards. Then I called up my friend by telephone and he at once fell in with the plan. He got out a deck of cards and a table, and then I dealt our deck face upwards,, calling out the cards that I dealt to each, having first pro vided imaginery seats for my friend and his wife. As I called out the cards to him he picked these cards out and dealt them to correspond on his own table. Of course, we were under the disadvantage of knowing what cards every player held, but the novel ty of making each move by telephone made this a minor matter. We would play our cards to turn, always an nouncing the card we played, and in this way the game went on as if we were sitting opposite each other at one table. Instead of being about three miles apart and playing by wire. I don't think you could play poker in that way, however." Average Locomotive Power.

I suffered misery for several years, being troubled with menorrhagia. My back ached, I had bearing-down pains and frequent headaches. I would often wake from restful sleep, and in such pain that I suffered for hours before I could go to sleep again. I dreaded the long nights as much as the weary days. I consulted two different physicians, hoping to get relief, but, finding that their medicine did not seem to cure me. I tried your Vegetable Compound on the recommendation of a friend from the East who was visiting me, " I am glad that I f ollowed her ad Tice, for every ache and pain is gone, and not only this, but my general health is much improved. I have a fine appetite and have gained in flesh. My earnest advice to suffering women is to put aside all other medicines and to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound."

Eczema drives its victim almost to the verge of distraction by its intolerable itching, stinging and burning. It seems to set the skin on fire, and the tormented sufferer rubs and scratches till the flesh is raw and the skin is torn and bleeds. Nothing applied externally does much good, for the disease is internal; the blood is aflame with acid poisons, that are forcing their way through the'glands and pores of the skin, causing it to redden and swell and break out in splotches, pustules and pimples, from which a clear, yellow, watery matter exudes, hardens and dries, and then peels off in scales or fine particles like bran. Eczema kindles m fire that water will not quench, and that lotions, salves, powders and soap' cannot smother. As warm weather comes on and the system is reacting and the blood making extra efforts to throw off the accumuw lated poisons. Eczema at- tacks with redoubled vio lence, and the sufferer is al most distracted by the fear ful itching and burning.
