of the money required for tho pur

arranging with n gardener to let him

happened that ono day he received a
bunch of beautiful roses, which ho at
once dispatched to her house. In
sure anticipation, of n friendly wel

that evening. Ho got a froBty recop

today?" ho wbb finally forced to nBk;
"Yob, and tho noto that went with,

SCALP WAS BADLY AFFECTEQ
"I am mora than gratified by the,
successful results I obtained by thq
use of tho Cutlcura Remedlos. For
several years ray scalp was very bad

My scalp itched terribly at times and
my hnlr foil out. My coat collar would

that had fallen from my head. My
profession being that of a barber, I
was particular about having my hair
in good condition, and was aluo In a
position to try many lotions, etc., for
the scalp. Theso had little or no cf
'feet I had heard so much about the
Cutlcura Remedies that I resolved to
try them. I shampooed my hood
with Cutlcura Soap twlco a week and
after drying my head thoroughly, I
anointed parts of my scalp with Cutl
cura Ointment. I was pleased from
the outset, and continued to keep up
this treatment To think that only
three cakes of Cutlcura Soap and one
and one-half boxes of Cutlcura Oint
ment rid my head of this annoying
troublo mndo mo feel quite contented.
I have now got a thick growth of hair
and I am nover troubled with any
dandruff or itching of tho scalp. There
is no question but that tho Cutlcura
Remedies cured me. I frequently
recommend them to my customers,
and they think a great deal of them."

The Most Beautiful Thing.
A newspaper recently invited Its
readers to state in a few words what
they considered tho most beautiful
thing In the world. The first prlzo
was awarded to tho sender of tho an
swer: "Tho eyes of my mother." "Tho
dream of that which we know to bo
impossible" suggested an imaginative
person, and this brought him second
prize. But the roost amuBing thing
was that which read: "The most beau
tiful thing in tho world is to seo a
man carrying his mother-in-law across
a dangerous river without making any
attempt to drop her in."
The Ballot Box.
Tho ballot box seems sacred to mo,
and 1 nover voted without removing
my hat. Tho men in tho voting booths
aro always amused at this attitude,
but to mo tho voting privllego will bo
always treated with great respect A
man should pray as ho votes and voto

t Horrors!
"Sho la always doing something
original."
"Yes, but her latest Btunt, If It be

. "Why, what Is It?"
"Sho has employed a nurse to look
after her poodlo and Insists on looking
after her baby herself."

"Store" Revelation to New Solon
THERE Is a mistaken idea ever pres
ent in the mind of a brand-new leg
islator when he arrives at Washing
ton that all his stationery and sta
tionery supplies will be furnished free.
Hardly has ho been shown through
tho capltol by some older colleaguo
than ho becomes acquainted with the
fact that down in tho basement of the
big gray building there is ono of the
most completo stationery stores in tho
United States. Ho is astonished at
the cheapness of everything and mar
vels at the fact that thero ho can buy
a thousand shoots of tho finest linen
paper, bearing at the top In deop old
English engraved lotterlng the inscrip
tion, "House of Representatives,
United Statos, Washington," for fc.40.
Ho can get a high grade, fine finished
cotton paper for $1.88 per thousand,
engraving Included, nnd another grade
with handsomo lithograph superscrip
tion for $1.
Later tho congressman is told the
reason for this, and along with that
information it 1b explained to him that
his stationery allowance will bo $125.
Tho reason for the cheapness of
everything In capltol stationery head
