4 I was suffering tortures from a diseased
scalp. I was scratching my head from morn-
ing till night. Little pimples broke out all
over my head. I had no rest. I washed my
head With hot water and CUTICURA SOAP, and
applied CUTICURA as a. dressing. Now my
head has n’t a pimple on it, and my hair is
growing splendidly. ADA C. HARRELL,
. 330 Grand St., Jersey City, N. J.
I thought I would go frantic with itching
scalp trainers I lost considerable of my hair
of which 1 nah,
remedies, they failed. I tried CUTIC URA SOAP,
relief immediate, itching completely gone.

The Chrysanthemum sale for the
benefit of the. Wilton Library associa—
tion at the library rooms on Saturday
afternoon was acomplete success. The
fine display of cut flowers and potted
plants was not confined to the popular
Japanese beauty, but included carna-
tions, violets, afi-d a. variety of foliage
plants, and made a. showing of which
the exhibitors, . Adams and Canfield
may well be proud. Miss Marion
Olmstead was in charge of the sale and
_ reports a. most satisfactory sum was
realized. The Tea. Room charmingly
arranged for the occasion was in charge
of Mrs. H. G. Thomson, Mrs. "J. M.
Betts and Miss Carpenter, was also
liberally patronized.
John Jay Fabre, of New York, who
has made frequent trips to this place
during the past three years accompan-
ied by a double-barrelled gun, without
exhibiting any proofs of his skill,
etrieved his fortunes on election day
and is now regarded as a mighty hunter.
Returning from a long tramp in which
he had succeeded in shooting a crow
and one grey squirrel, he started up a
large red fox, and although it was a
long shot, succeeded in bringing him
down. The booty was on exhibition at
the post office all the afternoon and was
viewed by many of the local sportsmen,
who pronounced it a. fine specimen. Mr.
Fabre will have the pelt mounted for a
rug, which will serve to remind him
that “there really is game in Wilton.”
He was the guest of R. H. Fitch.
D. D. Telford and E. S. Fitch, of New
York, were in town election day.
Harold Betts, of Steven’s Institute,

THE AMERICAN SAILOR OF TO-DAY.
The Black Sheet) of the Family No Longer
Eligible in the Navy.
Jacky, who used to be more sailor
than gunner, is now more gunner than
sailor. Just in proportion as he has
ceased to be a part of the great en-
gine on which he lives, so he has come
more and more into the control of it.
And as the cardinal purpose of a war-
ship is to hit things with her pro-
jectiles. Jacky'has become a specialist
in getting that work out of her. He
does it in two places—at the guns and
at the engines. Correctly pointed guns
are of no use unless the platform on
which they rest is put in proper re-
. latiou to the thing to be hit, and kept
there; equally it is useless to get the
ship into proper place unless the guns
are correctly pointed. Men who can
do either of these things must have
natural capacities, and be susceptible
to education. and only men of this
sort are eligible for our navy.
Accordingly the “beach-comber,” or
the "rock-scorpion." or any other va-
riety of that ruck of marine refuse
which drifts around the great mari-
time ports and ships in any craft
where grub is plenty and work light,
no longer slings his hammock on Un-
cle Sam’s berth deck. as he used to do
to the shame of the service in years
gone by. Nor can the tramp, nor the
jail bird. nor even the incorrigible
black sheep of the family thus be pro-
vided for to the relief of constables
and long suffering relatives. No man
or boy can now pass a United States
naval recruiting officer unless he is
clean, healthy. honest,“ young. strong,
and intelligent; nor can he afterward
get that advancement. which is cer-
tainly open to him without fear or fa-
vor, unless he continues to show apti-
tude and ability.—Park Benjamin in
Independence. .
ASKED FOR A SHIRT, GOT A WIFE.
An Incidv t of the Civil \Var—A Kind
Am. llnapn Its Reward.
The following is given because of.
the valuable suggestion it may con-
tain for our young soldiers. It is the
story of a clean shirt and how it gain~
ed one man a good wife.
During the civil war there was a
young lady in Georgetown who
found it in her power to do a great
deal for the Confederate soldiers con-
fined in prison at Washington. Young.
beautiful. cultured. of a wealthy and
prominent family, she was frequently
allowed admissionwto the prison, whith-
er she always took‘her maid with al
well stocked basket of good things for
the poor boys behind the bars. One
day ,as she was passing through a
group of men in the common prison,
she stopped and said to them:
like to have ' that I can bring you.
won’t you let me know? I shall be
very glad.”
One man stepped forward promptly.
Bowing most courteously. he said:
“If you will be so kind, I would
like very much to have a clean shirt."
He was a young lieutenant from
Louisiana, one of the handsomest and
most elegant men I ever met, and
when that young lady looked up into
his brown eyes she found it in her
heart to give him much more than a
clean shirt, for she married him as
soon as the war was oven—PhiladeL
phia Times.

SA clergyman addressing these who
go to church to stare about and then
complain that others stare at them.
lately said:
“When I was a boy we had a school- p
master who had odd ways of’catching
idle boys. Says he, one day: ‘Boys,
I must have closer attention to books;
the first one of you that sees another
boy idle I want you to inform me and
I will attend to the case.’ ‘Ah,’
thought 1 to myself. ‘there’s Joe Sim-
mons, that i don’t like; I’ll watch him,
and if I see him look ofi his book 1’11 7
tell on him.’ It was not long before 1
saw Joe look off his book, and immedi.
ately I informed the master. ‘Indeedf‘
said he. ‘how did you know he was
ldle?’ "I saw him,’ was the reply.
‘You did; and were your eyes on your
book when you saw him?’
