Some two months ago I had a humor break out on my limbs below my knees. They came to look like raw beefsteak, all red, and no one knows how they Itched and burned. They were so swollen that I could not get my shoes on for a week or more. I used five or sis different remedies and got no help, only when applying them the burning was worse and the itching less. For two or three weeks the suf ferlng was Intense and during that time i did not rj ep an hour at a time. Then one morning I tried a bit of Cutlcura. From the moment It touched me the Itching was gone and I have not telt a bit of It since. The swelling went down and in two days I had m shoes on and was about as usual George B.

Hay Lamphere, with the murder of Mrs. Belle Gunness and her three children ly setting fire to the Gunness home April 28, was on Thursday evening found guilty of arson by the jury, v.hich had the case since 5:30 oclock Wednesday evening. Within five minutes after the verdict was reported Judge Richter had sentenced the defendant to the state prison at Michigan City for an Indeterminate term of from two to twenty-onyears, fined nn $3'00, and disfranchised him for Laporte, charged . e 1 five years. Attorney Worden, for the defense, raid Thursday night that a motion for a new trial would be made, and, should it he refused, an appeal to the Indiana supreme court would follow. Should the case he carried to the supreme court and sent hack for retrial, Lamphere could not be tried on any charge in this particular case excepting arson, tho crime of which he was convicted. However, in an event cf that kind the state would elect to try him on one of the indictments, probably the Helgelcin case. Members of the jury are reticent in discussing what occurred in the jury room, but enough has been learned to know' that but for two members Lamphere would have been found guilty of murder or manslaughter, the Sevverdict being a compromise. unIs of the jury, It eral members derstood, held out long for murder in the first degree, with a life sentence. So far as could be learned, none wras lor hanging. ANARCHY REIGNS IN HAYTI. president of tho council, has made the following statement concerning the present sltua tion in Bulgaria: "The chances of a direct understanding with Turkey are not now great, but the present government views the situation with optimism. As matters stand, Turkey is bound to see sooner or later the futility of work rd cross purposes, which will only result in bringing herself under the con trol of oilrera.

EMERSON'S MEMORY AT FAULT. Had at Times Almost Entire Lack of Remembrance. Emerson was a notable sufferer from the vagaries of memory. His biographer relates that he met him one day in Boston, apparently at a loss for something, and asked him whero he was going. "To dine," said Emerson, with a very old and dear friend. I know' where she lives, but I hope she wont ask me her name," and then ho proceeded to describe her as "the mother of the wife of the young man tiie tall man who speaks so well, and so on, until his interlocutor guessed to whom he was referring. Even the names of common objects often failed him completely. On one occasion, when he wanted an umbrella, he said: "I cant tell Its name, but I can tell Its history. Strangers take it away. This failing of Emerson led to a pathetic scene when he attended Longfellow's funeral, and remarked as he gazed at the coffin: "He was a sweet and beautiful soul; but I hare entirely forgotten his name.

There must be a satisfaction in torturing human beings, for it is done so often. Nobody blames a wife for upand resenting holding her Insult, but there is little sympathy for one who deliberately drives a man to deeds of rudeness and violence. Nagging and indulgence in bad temper leave Indelible marks on the face of a woman, on her voice and on her character. They shrivel up whatever sweetness nature hat put into her disposition and make her unlovely, even In the eyes of those who feel in duty bound to give her affection. It is often hard to maintain silence under provocation, but there is always the open door of escape, you know. A quarrel does not thrive when fed from one side only, and what should be important to every woman with pretenses to refinement is the undisputed vulgarity of bickering. Education and refinement are supposed to lift us so far above vulgarity that even the hems of our skirts are unstained. Exchange. self-respe- ct -- |
