Hood’s Sarsaparilla Cave a Perfect
Cure.
* C. I. Hood St Cos., Lowell, Mass.:
“Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is an excellent medicine.
I had eczema in n>y left leg for fifteen years.
Part of the time nry leg was one mass of scabs,
and about every week corruption would gather
under the skin and the scabs would slough off.
The Itching and Burning
sensation made me suffer Indescribable agonies.
I spent a great dea! of money for different rem
edies but did not get relief. About a year ago,
leading physicians advised me to take Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. I did so aud have taken five bot-
Hood's s #* Cures
ties. Now all the sores, scabs and pain have
Vanished and lam enjoying perfect health. I
think Hood’s Sarsapariila is second to none and
f lail|y recommend it to all suliering humanity.

cute little maiden who wanted all
of her friends to come and see the
little folks act like big folks on the
stage in a concert down at the
hotel. Little Miss Lovette has
been quite busy, because she is the
business manager and scene shifter,
and is everywhere in the interest
of her opera company. With her
tact and ingenuity she collected
some 8 or 10 of the children who
are spending the summer here,
their ages being from the little
warbling tot of 3 or 4 summers to
those who were old enough to
think her doll sweeter than her
friends even if the paint did come
off her face. Curtains were up on
the sides of the hotel veranda.
The stage and dressing room were
partitioned off inside. The audi
ence was composed of all the board
ers in town who went to see with
curiosity what their child was
going to do. Now, these little
children astonished their parents
and friends, not only in their act
ing and recitations, hut the syste
matic way in which they went
through the performance. Charm
ing little Dorothy who sang so
clearly and sweetly; and a love
song by Lucile Hunter—“ Marg
arette;” “Brave Little Soldiers,” Ei
leen hunter; “W’inter,” Mhv Alex
ander; “Spring Longing,” Lovette,
were some ot the pieces rendered.
The children sui prised their friends
so that they did come prepared to
better show their appreciation.
The occasion will long be thought
of as an evening delightfully spent
among little children who have
had good training at home evident
ly. The Courant -American at this
place is short of the required ad
mission fee, but will forward the
pins and a surplus gift with his best
regards for the future success of
the Brownie opera company.

AT THE “OAKS.”
Thrw voung ladies, all pleasant and gay.
Came up to my office one bright summer dav,
Their silks and their ribbons they were dressed
out of sight;
Said there's to be a party at the "Oaks” to
morrow night.
To me they intrusted the invitations to write;
On snowy white pa; er. so pure and so light.
The angels I’m srne with their natures so pure,
Had compassion pa one whom the Fates well
knew.
The licking of stamps by the servant so kind.
Wasgiven cold slaw, by the Fari s divine.
Now listen to iny story kind renders, one and
all—
As I tell you of the Oaks, that are stately and
tall,
No amount of persuasion can convince me today,
But that I was slighted by the Furies at play.
The gam holers oh the green were so neat and so
gay.
Wish no stamps I had seen all during the day.
