JAMES ALLISON,
JPBF.SIDENT of the centennial commis
sion.
The Centennial Exposition at Cincinnati,
0.. will be opened on July 4, next. Great
preparations are being made for the com

the hundredth anniversary of the settle

territory, the State of Ohio and the city of
Cincinnati. The whole country regards the
Queen City’s gigantic enterprise with cor
dial interest. James Allison, of Cincin
nati, of whom we present a portrait, is
president of the Centennial Commission.
He was born at Frankford, Pa., in June,

years of age his thrifty parents removed to
Jefferson county, Indiana, where he spent
tve years of his life in farm work, alternat
ing this with attendance at a log school
l>use.
Mr. Allison was 17 when he removed to
Cincinnati and bound himself an appren
tice to the mystery of plumbing. He laid
iiwn his tools after two years’ service and
elisted as private in an Indiana regiment.
At the close of the war he returned to the
fcnuse he had left, where he finished learning
his trade, and graduated, in the course of
time, to a partnership. Twelve years ago
be withdrew from the partnership and be
gan business on his own account. He is
sell known as an expert in sanitary mat
ters. ’
Air. Allison engages much public esteem.
He was elected President of the National
Association of Master Plumbers of the
United States two years in succession; is a
member of the American Health Associa
tion, and is a director of the Ohio Mechan
ics'lnstitute and the Cincinnati House of
Refuge, in which ho takes great interest.
Having served as a member of the Board of
Commissioners in former Cincinnati indus
t ial expositions, under appointment of the
Ohm Mechanics’ Institute, he was again re
appointed, and on the organization of the
present board was unanimously elected its
President. Mr. Allison took a trip to Eu
rope last summer at his own exjiense, with
the view to promote his qualitications for
tie responsible and honorable office to
hich he has been called as President of the
Centennial Commission.
MISS OB MBS.
Prominent Actors and Actresses in
Domestic Boles.
Sew York, March 31.— Since the days
of Thaekerays “Fotheringay” a certain
•mount of mystery regarding the domestic
tratus of stage-performers has not been the
feast part of the glamour thrown around
Item in the eyes of their audience. I re
member calling on William Perris one of
I e handsomest leading men we have ever
bad on our stage, and now at the head of
the London Adelphia Theater Company,
ehen he arrived in Now York as Irving’s
1 iding man on that great actor’s first visit to
this country. We had many mutual friends
md I had heard much of him and his inter
King wifo and family. One of the
first favors he asked of me, how
ever, was to write of him as
though he were a bachelor without of
fourse committing myself to any direct
tatement. I was amused at the request
md asked for an explanation. “Oh,” said
ic, “I think a leading man loses much of
is hold on the public if the fact that he is a
narried man is continually insisted upon,”
md perhaps he was right.
It is surprising when one surveys the field
find how many of our popular favorites
ire married and how few openly avow the
act. Of the latter Mrs. Langtry is, of
t urse, the chief, and equally, of course, Mi’s.
Potter has followed her lead in this as in
itli T cases, though her leading man Bellew,
y the way, was seriously annoyed when an
eonoclastie paragrapher revealed the dis
tressing truth that the beautiful Kyrle was
a married man with a large family. .As
" that very marriage there is at another
Sme an interesting story to be told.
A charming and a good woman is Miss
losina Yoke;, the youngest of that
alentod family who were the first to add
ustre to the name of the Union Square
Iheatjp. Her husband, Cecil Clay, is also
>r mTnager and is one of the nicest fellows
'i the theatrical business. Mr. Clay is a
brother of the well-known English com
poser and musician of the same name, and
he artistic instinct shows itself in him
hough in a different direction. He is al
ways in a good humor and takes the rough
v itli the smooth with surprising equinimity.
Ihe only thing which seems at any time to
ffcrrv him is the occasional lapse into in
'alidism of his wife.
Few bits of news have surprised the New
i ork theatrical world so much as did the
umouuceiuent of Hose Coghlan’s marriage
• 'Clinton Edgerly, the son of a well known
■Aston man of affairs. Mr. Edgerly is a
■cuing, good-looking man who by profession
it a lawyer. Soon after his marriage to
■liss Coghlan that actress left the stock
■onipauy of AV'allack’s where she had been
•>r many years and essayed a starring tour
■filler her husband’s management which,
■V'fiffh artistically, was not altogether pecu
■larny successful. ISince the close of that
■mr and the return of his wife to Wallack’s
B* r Edgerly has resumed the practice of
■ l!i profession. During the summer months
B* e Edgcrlys live u thoroughly rural life
■ a small farm they have leased near
■ tinkers,
■ Agues Booth, who holds perhaps the foro
■ost place in her profession, is no longer
■ rs. Booth, though she still retains that
on the stage. She was originally a
■ Kookes and married Harry Ferry, a
■•“fi known and highly successful actor,
■'> 'te, in San Francisco in 18(12. Mrs.
■' rr > afterward married Junius Brutus
ll -Jr., mid after tiis death she became
" ifo of John Schooffel, Henry E.
■[ i s partner. During the summer Mr.
Mrs. iSchoeffel pass their tune at Man
r-onthe-eea, where they conduct
■ a singularly successful fash
■[’ a charming summer hotel
■"'''l' belongs to them. In personal
■•p (trance Mr. Schooffel is a tall, well-
H 1 a oian with a fair moustache and an in
■*'ti ms heartiness of address. He is de
■''.‘d to his wife and is naturally wonder
■'jl.' proud of her talents as an actress. I
■ink one of the pleasantest sights <{ the
■ti 'id life 1 ever saw was one Sunday not
■ ,: s a;o when as I walked up Broadway I
■ e | this pleasant couple jogging to church
■m looking as though the feverish unrest
■ their profession had never been known
gitf. in The Schoeffels through the win-
■ r live in a pleasant house up town, the
■"*s of which occupy the clever actress’
■ifi;- when she is not on the stage.
■ > one who has ever been brought into
■ fW#l' . ..v-f
contact with Modjeska is likely to be oblivi
ous of the existence of Count 'Bozenta, her
husband. A nervous, exqitable, energetic
descendant of the race which has for so
long been ground under Russia’s heel he
has, since Modjeska’s contract with Daniel
Frohman expired, been her sole manager,
though he is materially assisted by the su
perabundant brains of clever little Fred
Stinson. Tall, thin, dark, with piercing
black eyes perpetually rolling or smoking
cigarettes Bozenta is always on the rush,
and manages in his vehement manner to get
through an immense amount of work dur
ing tho twenty-four hours. He is a won
derfully well-bred and Well educated man.
Fanny Davenport, whose production of
Sardou’s unpleasant play of “La Tosea”
has recently caused so much and such
varied comment, is in private life Mrs.
Price, and as in so many cases her husband,
Edmund Price, is also her manager. They
have been married for some time, and Mr.
Price is at least energetic in the manner in
which he looks after the affaire of his wife.
Minnie Maddern. who knowing say
has a great future before her, is Mrs. White
off the stage, thougli she and her youthful
husband tiave been separated for more than
a year. Young White is to be seen almost
daily on Broadway, and in one way or an
other gains his living out of the theatrical
profession.
Miss Annie Russell, whose performance
of Elaine was the chief and most jiopular
feature bf the successful run of Rathrop
and Edwards’ adaptation of Tennyson s
idyll at the Madison Square Theatre, is
Mrs. Gene Presbrey. Presbrey is probably
the cleverest stage manager on this side of
the Atlantic, and has for several seasons su
perintended the Madison Square Theatre
productions. He is a clever water-color
painter, tho writer of more than one good
play, and on occasion a conscientious and
capable actor.
Miss Marie Burroughs, whose recent work
has surprised the critics, and who bids fair
to become one of the most admired of our
leading actresses, is the wife of Louis
Masson, a member of Mr. Palmer’s com
pany. Masson is a delightful fellow off the
stage, alwaj's overflowing with animal
spirits, and his cheery voice and ready
jests have lightened many a dull day on the
road or eveinug at the theater for his com
panions. Horace TewNSEND.
PREMONITIONS OF DISASTER.
Railroad Engineers Usually Feel It in
Their Bones When Trouble is Ahead.
From the Chicago Tribune.
"Most engineers have the power of feeling
in their bones when anything’s goiu’ wrong.
Where do they get that power from? Ex
perience.”
The speaker was one of the veterans at
the Brotherhood headquarters iu the Grand
Pacific.
“Doesn’t this ‘feeling’ often disappoint
you?” he was asked.
“No, I never had it go back on me. You
know men have their unlucky spots. One
engineer will have all his trouble at' night,
another in foggy weather, another on or
ders, and so on. Now, my dread is high
water. I’d feel easier on a fast express on
a dark night with no lights, if the ground
was solid under me, than 1 am with every
thing else favorable and the ground wet. I
used to pull the Chicago express over the
Big Four road. They had some heavy rains
down among the Southern Indiana hills in
the spring of 1874, and there was where I
learned what my unlucky line was to be.
We got that express generally about 4
o’clock in the afternoon, but one day she
was two hours late and we didn’t leave In
dianapolis till full 6 o’clock. Frank Wal
ters, a little black-eyed German, was firing
for me. Frank had seen a number of ti.e
boys killed on the lower end an’ he was
wonderfully afraid of ghosts. He saw one
every time he looked out tho window, an’
that night was noexception. I was runnin’
a big Hinckly engine and she was spry ns a
race-horse. We had orders to be cautious
on account of the freshet, but at the same
time had a clear track and the temptation
to make up time wits strong. I knew the
road an’ thought I could tell where caution
was necessary. Out of Greensburg we had
a fine piece of track and I was lettin’ her
go for all she was worth. Frank had been
puttin’ in coal and just climbed up on his
box, when he turned Towards mean’ almost
shrieked in a sort of whisper;
“ ‘Buck?’
“ ‘What is it, Frank?’ says I, laughin’ to
myself, for I knew Frank’s weakness an’
that he was going to tell me a ghost story.
“ ‘There’s a light ahead,’ he says. ‘I see
it bobbin’ up an’ down an’ jumpin’ every
which away.
“ ‘Guess not,’ says I, for I didn’t want to
encourage Frank to think about spooks.
“Then he climbed down anil began to
crack coal. Hegdidn’t want to look out.
When ho wasn’t watchin’ me I looked ahead,
for I’d felt uneasy all the way, and there,
sure enough, was a light an’ we were right
on to it, too. I thought I saw it pass under
the wheels, but I was using the exhaust and
couldn’t see beneath me for the steam. 1
stopped as quick as I could an’, by Jove,
my hair stood on end. We were right at
the edge of a big washout, over which the
rails still hung. Two roils further and wo
would have had a frightful accident. Whan
I saw what was ahead I went back to learn
what was behind, and there, coinin’ thump
in’ her way down to where we stood was an
old woman who lived close by in the woods
She’d seen the roadbed go out before dark
an’ had come to warn us.
“An’ what do you suppose Frank’s ghost
was? Why, an old tin contrivance with a
lot of small holes punched in it to let out
the light from a little tallow candle. It
was a tough lantern, but it saved lots of
lives that night, and for its work got the
old lady a comfortable living the rest of her
days.”
Why Mrs. Cleveland Likes Senator
Palmer.
From the New York Tribune.
One of the most cordial admirers Mrs.
Cleveland has is Senator Palmer, of Michi
gan, who has frequently declared that if
Mrs. Cleveland should be nominated by the
Democrats, he would bolt his own party
and support her. A number of the Sena
tor’s friends and constituents called at the
White House this week and when, in the
course of conversation, the Senator’s name
was mentioned, Mrs. Cleveland said that
she had had a grateful feeling for Mr.
Palmer ever since the occurrence of a little
incident some yoars ago on the Canada
Southern railroad.
"A young girl,” she said, “was on her
way from a visit to friends in Michigan to
her own home in the State of New York.
When the train was about to cross tho Sus
pension Bridge, this little girl with every
one in the car crowded to the platform to
get a view of the falls; although she had
lived in Western New York all her life she
had never seen them, and was afraid that
the crowd on the plat form was so great that
she would not be able to see them this time.
A fine-looking gentleman, however, whom
she had watched all the way from Detroit,
noticed the disappoinment on her face and
persuaded someot the passengers to give her
a place on tho platform where she could see
the falls to perfection. After the bridge
was passed she thanked him for his kindness
and asked for his name, which he said was
Tom Palmer, of Detroit; then he asked for
her name and was told that it was Frances
Folsom, of Buffalo.”
Frances Folsom, of Buffalo, was then a
schoolgirl and afterward visited Niagara
Foils frequently, but she never forgot her
friend, Tom Palmer, of Detroit.' She learned
from the newspapers that he had been elect
ed to the Senate, and when she came to
Washington, before her marriage to the
President as the guest of Miss Cleveland,
she met him at the White House but never
recalled the incident to biR memory.
It was not until his friends repeated their
conversation with Mrs. Cleveland to [Sena
tor Palmer that he identified the young
schoolgirl with the wife of the President.
He recollected the incident very well and
had often recalled the pretty face of the
girl but had forgotten her name. The next
time he sees Mrs. Cleveland he proposes “to
talk over old times.”

THE WARLIKE PBINGE.
The Military Nature, Training, and
Accomplishments of the Heir to the
German Throne—A Natural and En
thusiastic Soldier—Not Deficient as a
Scholar —A Good Orator—What Will
His Future Be?
From the iMiidon Telegraph.
Frederick William Victor Albert, the new
German Crown Friuco and Prince of Prus
sia, is a young mau of great mental ability
and strongly marked individuality.
Despite his youth and the necces
sary self-effacement which is an
inborn obligation of all the suliordinate
members of the House of Hohenzollern, in
cluding the heir apparent to the t irone,
during the lifetime of the reigning sover
eign of Prussia, Prince William, since he
attained Ins majority ten years ago, lias
impressed himself u|hjii the minds of the
leading German statesmen and soldiers m
such sort as to obtain from them a discreet
but unanimous recognition as a man of
strong will, high ambitious, and consider
able intellectual power, in ail probability
destined to play a conspicuous part in the
great historical drama of which continental
Europe is the appointed stage.
By Prussian Generals of undisputed
authority iimnilitary matters, this Prince
of eight-and-twenty is frankly acknowl
edged to be an accomplished officer,
thoroughly versed in the art of tvar, and
accurately acquainted witli every detail of
drill, discipline and organization, in con
nection w.tli all branches of the service to
whicli he has belonged throughout the
past eighteen years, which qualify a man
to take the command of a mighty army in
the field, and to lead it to victory. Prince
William unlike liis gifted father—a warrior
and chief of warriors rather by the incum
bencies of birth and position than by voca
tion—is a soldier by instinct and predilec
tion, enthusiastically devoted to the pro
fession of arms, which he has studied with
rare assiduity and perseverance, and
thoroughly confident of his own capacity
to achieve splendid successes with the mag
nificent machine which, in the course of
nature, must one day be committed to his
supreme management and direction He
has made himself intimately acquainted
with every corps—we might confidently
say with every regiment—of his
grandfather’s army; lias served and
passed examinations of efficiency in
cavalry, artillery, engineer, and in
fantry regiments, as well as in the gon
ers! staff; and is without doubt at the pres
ent moment the most popular officer in the
Prussian army, with the rank and tile no
less t’ an with the officers’ corps. Ho has
for some years past made no secret of his
eager desire to reap an abundant crop of
laurels on the field of glory; and soldiers of
light and leading, his senior in age and
rank, and instructors in warlike science,
have not been wanting to encourage his
military ambition by the assurance that he
has inherited the strategical genius, coup
d'ccil, and quick sound judgment of his
illustrious ancestor, Frederick the Great.
Conscious, however, that his high mission
in life is mot exclusively one of conquest,
Prince William has devoted a great portion
of his time during the past decade to quali
fying himself for the abl ; fulfillment of a
sovereign’s multifarious duties. He has
acquired no mean proficiency in jurispru
dence, practical science, and political
economy; is well grounded in mathematics,
and has bestowed extraordinary pains in
making himself master of the French and
English languages. He is a ready, iluent,
and vigorous speaker, terse in diction and
impressive in delivery. When he quitted
the University of Bonn, at which lie was
in almost continuous residence for eighteen
months, he abstained throughout a period
of more than half a year from the military
duties to which his inclination promoted
him to revert, and plunged into the routine
of the Prussian civil service, with the result
that lie speedily became an adept in the
practical work of State administration,
central and i rovincial. During this phase
of his preparation for ruie he
paid frequent, visits to the /Im
perial Chancellor, whose political dis
ciple he undoubtedly is, according to his
own unreserved avowal, and into whose
confidence he is believed to have been far
more intimately admitted than was ever
the case with the present German Em
peror.
Those who have been most constantly as
sociated and brought into contact wrth his
imperial highness anticipate that Germany’s
European and colonial policy, when his
personal influence shall be directly brought
to bear upon it, will assume a more active
and stirring character than that which
signalized it throughout the imperial reign
of William 1., whose attitude toward the
successive international differences and
“burning questions” of the past sixteen
years was uniformly inspired i v a steadfast
resolve to maintain the general pe ace of
Europe, as far as in him lay, and above
all to avert the horrors of war from united
Germany. The Prince’s recent public
utterances, through which a high-throbbing
vein of martial ardor has distinctly run,
justify the impression generally entertained
by his fell >w-countrymen—that he will be
found ready, on any emergency', to vindi
cate the Fatherland’s dignity and honor by
an appeal to the sword, and that ho will bo
inclined to take a warlike rather than a
pacific view of any difficulties in which
Germany, under his leadership, may l>e
come involved with her immediate neigh
bors.
STATESMEN FROM WAYBACK.
The Men who are Often Called Hay
seeders and Backwoods Senators.
From the New York Grnrthic.
The great cities of this country have
never furnished the wise, reflective and
penetrative statesmanship which has made
this nation great and prosperous and guided
it into safe and salutary ways. The average
reader of the able and enterprising journals
that reflect public sentiment in the centres
of population throughout the States will
doubtless smile at this assertion, for a tend
ency has grown up of late to sneer at the
class of men who have been dubbed as
“crossroads politicians,” “rural sages” and
“ turn ip representatives. ”
This tendency is indicative both of inex
cusable ignorance and foolish prejudice.
The history of this country for 100 years
and more has been made and glorified rather
by men from the n#ol districts than by
those who have had their origin and ho ne
in the cities of the land, and it is entirely
probable that the historian who may com
pile the data for this nation’s future will
not be called u|Kin to change this record.
The proportion of statesmen of ability in
Congress has always been overwhelmingly
in favor of the country districts. This was
true in the first years of our struggles for
national existence, it continued down
through the days of our progress and is
equally true now.
Let us see if history bears out this state
ment.
Look back for a century through the re
cords of the Continental Congress, the Na
tional Constitutional Convention, the war
for independence and the luter years of the
country's life. How many statesmen pre
eminent in ability and magnificent in their
attainments and success have the populous
cities given to this land? Of the great sol
diers whoso names are memorized in storied
marble or massive bronze and held cherished
in the hearts of millions of their country
men, how many came from the crowded
centres of population?
You can count them almost on your fin
gers.
San Francisco, Philadelphia, Chicago,
New Orleans and Brooklyn have not a sin
gle name on the roll of their history that
could lay claim to great statesmanship.
Philadelphia is oil enough to have sent
forth at least one man fully equipped in all
that goes to make up a leader of men. Yet
all she can truly lay claim to is a sort of
half interest in Ben Franklin and not very
well-founded claim that Henry Clay and a
dozen other renowned men have occasion
ally bought their clothes there. Even Bam
Randall does not belong to her, for he lives
on a farm 'JO miles out of that city.
New York city lias not had much to boast
of. Alexander Hamilton, whom most peo
ple imagine was a native of the town, was
born in the West Indies, and Burr and Liv
ingstone would about complete her list.
The present generation of statesmen ha- no
very great names to add to New York’s roll.
Sam Cox, one of the deservedly conspicu
ous figures on the floor of the House of Rep
resentatives, belongs to her only by right
of adoption and is an original Ohio ruralist.
Boston gave the country Charles Sumner
and shared with Philadelphia the credit of
producing and maintaining Ben Franklin.
But the world has not been electrified by
the doings of any other great men that
the cultured New' England city has pro
duced within the memory of this or the
past generation.
She cannot lay claim to Webster or any
of the Adamses, for the country districts of
Massachuset ts produced them and gave them
to the country. The same thing is true of
Thaddeus Stevens, Jeremiah Black, James
Buchanan and Simon Cameron, who were
veritable “hayseed" Pennsylvanians and
not Philadelphians.
William L. Marcy, Silas Wright, the Van
Burens, Horatio Seymour, William H. Sew -
ard, Rescue Colliding and the other nun
who have made history for the nation, be
longed in their days of statesmanship to tho
interior districts of the State and not to
Manhattan Island. Abraham Lincoln and
Stephen A. Douglas were both sent to the
front bv rural constituencies, and before
their time the same could be truly said
about Henry Clay, Lewis Cass, the Ran
dolphs, Madison, Monroe, Jefferson and the
long list of old-timed statesmen.
Bluff old Ben Wade, Oliver P. Merton,
Jefferson Davis, Henry Wilson, Andrew
Johnson, Allan G. Thurman and a hundred
other names that will occur to the intelli
gent reader—not one of them was the pro
duct of a great city.
Perhaps this may be called ancient his
tory, but even now thecentral figur s in the
everyday life of this nation are not the sous
of the metropolitan cities.
Grover Cleveland springs from the buco
lic element in our politics and it was the
country districts that took him up and made
him a candidate for Governor, and thus
started him on his upward and onward ca
reer. Janies G. Blaine was elected to Con
gress from one of the most rural districts of
the rural Stato of Maine, aed such men as
Senator Allison. Ben Harrison, Judge Gre
sham, Pru.ik Hiscock, John Sherman and
many of the olher men who are willing to
take his place at the head of the Republican
party have been made possible candidates
by the rural constituencies that have sent,
them to. the halls of national legislation.
Who are the cent al and most prominent
figures in Congress to-day?
Speaker Carlisle is a back country Ken
tuckian, and Roger Q. Mills before his elec
tion to Congress, ten years since, never saw
tidewater. Tom Reed, of Maine, lives out
in the country near Portland, and his con
stituency is four-fifths of tho rural persua
sion. William Waite - Phelps on Ins farm
in Ten Eyck looks out up n his district of
three counties, with no big city within its
borders. Holman, Springer, Cutcheon,
Cannon, Culberson, ('rain and the other
leaders are all “hayseeders.”
How many conspicuous figures on the
floor of the House of Representatives rep
resent city constituencies? Only Sam Ran
dall, of Philadelphia, and Sam Cox, of New
York.
How many Senators of national eminence
are 11am ed as city meu. Only Evarts, of
New York, Hawley, of Hartford, Eustis, of
New Orleans, and Stanford, of San Fran
cisco.
Senators Morgan and Pugh, of Alabama,
Voorhees, Cullom, Ingalls, Beck, Vance,
Hampton, Edmunds, Reagan and mos- of
the others are men who may bn called
“backwoods Senators,” and the records of
the various departments of the government
if examined would tell the same tele w ith
reference to tho origin of most of the Sen
ators who have made the nation great and
honored in all its various governmental
ramifications. t
It is said that artificial flowers are going out
of use in Englanfl and lace coming in at about
equal ratio. In 18 2 the value of flowers im
ported reached the enormous sum of $2,500,000,
while in ]SBti this fell off to $1,250,000.
The increase in the importation of lace mean
while has amounted to more than all these
figures of artificial flowers together. But the
odd feature of this is that while this Inerease
goeß on in importation from the Continent
England seems bound to lei her own lace indus
tries languish. The beautiful laeework of Ire
land, with its branching sprays so suggestive of
hawthornc blooms, still goes on. hut the rich
and great of Britain do not patronize it enough
to encourage its increase.

ered with Scales Like Spots of Mor
tar -Cured by the Cuticura Remedies.
I am going to tell you of the extraordinary
change your (Vtiovra Remedies |>erformed on
me. About the Ist of April last 1 noticed some
rod pimples like coming out all over my body,
but thought nothing of ii until some time later
on, when it U*gan to look like spots of mortar
spotted on, and which came oil in layers, ac
companied with itching. 1 would scratch every |
night until 1 was raw, then the next night tin' j
scales, l>eing formed imeanwhile, were scratched
oil’ again. In vain did 1 consult all the doctors |
in the country, but without aid. After giving
up all lio|>es of recovery, 1 haj>i>ened to see an j
advertisement in the newsjiuper alnmt your
Cutd i'i<a Remedies, and purchased tlmm from
my druggist, and obtained almost immediaie
relief. 1 begau to notice that the scaly erup
tions gradually dropinnl otT ami disappeared
one by one. and have f*een fully cured. I had
the disease thirteen months before I began tak
ing the (Vtictua Remedies. and in four or five
weeks was entirely cured. My disease was eivze
ma and psoriasis. 1 recommended the OrTicrnx
Remedies to all in my vicinity, and 1 know of a
great many who have taken them, and thank
me for the knowledge of them, especially
mothers who have babes with scaly eruptions
on their heads and bodies. 1 cannot express in
words the thauks to you for what the (Vth cka
Remedies have been to me. My body was cov
ered with sc des, and l was an awful speotaole
to behold. Now my skin is as nice and clear as
a hahv’s. tIKO. COTEY, Merrill, Wis.

FLY ' TIME!
The question is often asked what is a fly good for, and
the innocent little boy will answer:
First. It is one of (he best things in the world to wake
you up early in the morning.
Second. It is also very friendly, for just assure as you get
a nice piece of molasses candy it is just as sure to come right
along and stick closer than a brother until you get through
eating it, and insist on sharing it with you.
Third. It seems to think that it makes a good seasoning,
as you come across it in your vituals regularly.
Fourth. It makes bald headed men say their prayers
backward.
And then the question is asked, how to get rid of them.
We can answer that question better than any one else, as we
have accepted the agency for the best thing in the shape of
Window Screens ever invented. To see them is to buy
them, and all we want you to do is to call at our store and
see what a nice thing they are, and we know you will order
them for the whole house.
