BABY'S SMOOTH, FAIR SKJN
A Grateful Mother Write thlt Letter
Telli all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
MAt the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap
plications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread ail over one
aide of his face. We consulted a physi
cian and tried his medicine, and in a week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. It
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, I began giving him
Hood's Sarsaparilla. I also took Hood's
Sareaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had anv sisn of t.hn.a
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
noon's sarsaparilla, for which I feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." Mrs. S. S. Wboten, Farming

A Conversation That Was Overheard
by
the Krporter.
"Well, deiit me, I'll tell you just ex
actly bow it happened. We bad, O, the
lovelif st day imaginable, and euub a de
lightful camping spot, where we ate our
dinner. Thii.k of it! I cooked two of
the largest chickens, and when we bad
finished their poor little skeletons were
all that remained. Besides, randwicbes
by tbe dwsn were 4V voured. Tbe wbat
do yoa call it runaway, kiokup, or
wbat? We bad just started down a little
knoll. Mr. 0. waa tinging "Only One
Girl in tbe Wide World for Me". We
were all soreacbiog just having a jolly
time, when that mean old horse kicked
right up in onr faces. I was so soared
bow ridioulout. Mr. C. called Mr. P. to
'catch them', and, why, I thought he
would be killed; be just caught them by
the beads, and, tbe mean things, tbey
jumped right at bim. Of course, I am
so awkward, in trying to get out of tbe
buggy wbat should I do but go sprawl
ing, right in the middle of the road.
Wbeo those miserable borset taw at
girls they came jumping right after at,
but Mr. O. got between us, aud I was
sure be would be killed. However, be
was not, and tbe horses got away. Then
we began to realize that weweieten
miles from home. Mr. then began to
tremblo. We just laughed and began
onr weary homeward m-rch. I bad been
over tbe route tbreo timet, and as the
boy i bad p iid do atten ioo to tbe faucet
goiog ont tbey declared tbey did not
know wbiob way to go. Wa floally
reaohed two ooraert that looked just
alike, one goiog np and tha otber going
down. We look tba oua going down aod
kept going till wa oame to a bouse wa
never laid eyet on before, when we knew
wa were four milea on the wrong road.
Dear me, that made at tired. Wt tnrned
'round, aod by that lima onr laughing
bad ceased, and wa ,'utt kept tba dutt
flying till wa came io aigbt of those eleo
Iriollghtt. Mr. P. waa too tired to tay
a word. Mr. 0. remarked, wbao be
found Iba aidawalk, thai eornebody 'mast
have left tbote boardt oat over eight'.
I doo'l mind It a bit. Suppose wa bad
not been able to tat oot of tba ctrrirge,
aod tbs boraet bad run awav with at.
perbtpt wa would bava all been killed.
Mima Iboogbt wa bad been earelett
enough to let tba boraet gat away la the

Special Bnlletin to the Gazette.
Playa del Este, July 11. Santiago is now completely surrounded
by the American and Cuban forces. The last gap was filled today by
the Illinois and Ohio troops. No avenue of escape is now left, and the
Spaniards must surrender.
The bombardment was stopped about noon when Shafter communi
cated with the Spanish commander asking for a surrender. No reply
was received. Shafter will force a surrender bv both bomhardmAnf
and starvation. .
Siboney has been burned for sanitary reasons. Tatar ronrrtB tv
the front say there have been 106 discharges from the ships, and many
of the finest buildings reduced to dust. Slaughter and devastation has
become so great and sickening that General Shafter sent word advising
a surrender before the city is entirely destroyed. The Spaniards
fought like demons, but were driven back, not over 300 yards being be
tween the rifle pits of our men and the Spanish soldiers.

" If tbe enemy triet to esoape the ships

" We sood passed all of oar vessels ex
