iBm Sl&i tSUm s . Why does Great Drltaln buy ltd oatmeal of us? Cortninly It seems like cnrrying coala to Newcastle to speak of export" lug oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every , year tho Qunkor Oats Company sends hundreds of thousands of cases of NQuuker Oats to Great Britain and Kuropo. The reason is simple; while tho Hngllsh and Scotch have for contutloa eaten oatmeal in quantities and with si regularity that has made them the most rugged physically, and active mentally of all people, tho American has been eating oatmeal and trying all the time to Improve the methods of manufacture so that he might get that desirable foreign trade. How well hn has succeeded would be seen nt a glance at the export re ports of Quaker Oats. This brand is recognized ns without a rival in clean liness and delicious flavor 51 WHERE IT WORKED.

EPIDEMIC OF ITCrflN WELSH VILLAGE 'in Dowlais, South Wales, about fif teen years ago, families wore strick en wholesale by a disease known ns tho itch, llellevo me, it is the most terrible disease of its kind that I know of, as it Itches nil through your body and makes your life an Inferno. Sleep is out of the question and you feel as If a million mosquitoes wero attacking you at tho samo time. I knew a dozen families that were so affected. "Tho doctors did their best, hut their remedies wero of no avail what ever. Then tho families tried a drug gist who was noted far and wido for his remarkable cures. People came to him from all parts of the count! y for treatment, but his medicine made matters still worse, as n last resort the; were advised by a friend to use tho Cutlcura Hemcdics. I am glad to tell you that after a few days' treat ment with Cutlcura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, tho effect was wonder ful and tho result was a perfect euro in all cases. "I may add that my threo brothers, three sisters, myself and all our fam ilies have been users of tho Cutlcura Itemedios for fifteen years.

On some of the wlidwood Hill Millies 1 have seen beards some feet long, u switch of the loose ends hanging out from under the waistcoat. Others braided the growth and tied it around the neck, while still othors braided it around the waist, tying it behind like apron strings. One told me he combed and plaited his every night, and put It away Into a long linen bag or nightgown, so as to keep it from getting all tangled up with his wife and his feet. New York Tress. Protesslonal Conduct. One of the best stories told about Mr. Birrell concerns a poor client, whose case ho took up for nothing When the case had been won, the cli ent gratefully sent him the sum of 15s, which he accepted In order not to give offense. A colleague reproached him, however, for this "unprofessional con duct" in taking less than gold. "Hut I too knil tho poor beggar had," said Mr. BIrrcll, "and 1 consider that is not unprofessional." M. A. P. How It Struck Him. "Behold the wondrous beauties of yon sunset sky," exclaimed the poet. "How prodigal nature is with Its re splendent glories." "Yes," answered tho busy publisher.

TOO LATE. m 'a "r js.s y, rirsvv ers Into family histories, if put into a volume, would form a valuable addition to the graver records of a government. Some matters touch ing Uonodlct Arnold, which wero perhaps well enough known a century ago, but which havo lapsed into forgetfulness, were found not long ago by a "revolutionary daughter" who for cer tain reasons wns trying to find something to lighten Benedict's black history. When it is once said with truth that a man is a trnitor to his country tho damnation is deep enough to keep his contemporaries and n follow ing generation or two trom nny attempt to find anything that might redeem tho traitor's soul iroin utter blnckness. Benedict Arnold's nnmo Is blotted out of tho revolutionary roll of honor on tho walls of the chapel nt West Point. On some monuments and on many a page of history Ar nold's name appears, but nowhere may It he seen separated from the tJtlc "traitor." Tho Kngllsh, who wore to have profited by Arnold's treason, hated tho traitor after ho had joined their ranks. British officers would hold no fellowship with him and his memory Is exe crated in Knglnnd today. Tho British loyalists who left tho colonies at tho outbreak of tho revo lutionary war nnd wont their way into New Brunswick showei' Arnold when ho afterward went to dwell nm'.hg them that they held him In nothing short of lonthlng. Arnold has boon lik ened unto Xero ard Nero hns gained by tko com parison. Nero n.froly nuuieu as uonie weni up in tlames, whllo Arnold Is pictured as smiling exultantly at tho burning under his orders of his birthplace nnd at the subsequent putting of many of tho surrendered Americans to tho sword. It is told that when Now London and (Sroton wore attacked and burned Arnold, commanding tho attacking forces, had no word of reproof for tho oillcor who, upon receiving tho BWord of Col. William Ledyard. tho Amorlcnn commander, In token of surrender, murdered tho colonial soldier with the weapon which ho had presented hilt on offset to his conqueror. This Is the mid night scroll nnd that upon it may ap pear a amnll tracing in letters of light Is n matter of Interest, though it may do nothing toward the redeem ing of n name. It was a Daughter of the Revolu tion, Mrs. CSIIbeit W. Warren of lllon, N. Y., who brought attention to a well-nigh forgotten fragment of Arnold's history. Mrs. Wairen. who died recently, was a descendant of Col. William l.edyaid, who was killed with his own sword after he had sur rendered It to an officer serving un der Arnold. Naturally Mrs. Wnrren would not be moved by any heredi tary love for Arnold to start her dig ging up nice things about hint. It happens, however, that .Mrs. War ren's husband, who survives Iter, is collaterally descended from (Jen. Jo seph Warren, who fell nt Bunker hill. Tills fact led to tho discovery of something which was used as a sort to Arnold's treatment of the unlucky Aniet leans who met his forces along the banks of the Connecticut Thames flon. Arnold had met (ion Warren in the early spring of 1775 and had formed a strong personal liking for him. When Warren was killed It wns touud that ho had left no means for the support nnd education of ills four children. Arnold be came deeply Interested In the matter and biought the children's condition to tho attention of the continental congress, which promised to do some thing for tho littlo ones, but dilly-dallied over tho matter. Arnold hnd an Idea that tho congress might not act quickly and so lie wrote a letter of tender sollcltudo to Mercy Schollny, who was caring for tho Wnrren children, their mother hav ing died some tlmo before. In this letter Arnold, nearly impoverished himself, sent an order for $500 with Instructions that he should bo drawn upon for more ns soon as it wns needed. Tills contribution of tho traitor saved Elizabeth, Jo seph, Mury and Richard Warren from destitu tion. Arnold wns not satisfied with this, but he wrote spurring letters to Sam Adams and John Hancock, of tho committee which had the pro posed congressional appropriation in hand. Then he sent homo some money and said: "Send Rich ard, who is now old enough to tho best school that can bo found, clothe him handsomely, glvo him all thnt ho needs and call upon me for any future expense." How much food for thought may bo found In ono of tho letters of Benedict Arnold, trnitor, written to Miss Schollny Just before his treason. He had sent more money and had congratulated tho children on tho prospect that tho money from congress would bo speedily forthcoming. "A country," said Arnold, "should bo ever grateful to the patriot who lays down his llfo In its de fense. 'Greater lovo hath no man thnn this.' " What surging thought must havo whelmed this man's brain as ho wrote these words, That letter was received Just at tho time that Arnold begun in ,:otl.itli'iis with Clinton School histories say that after tho revolution Arnold passed all his time In Knglnnd. lie lived, however, for a long period in St. John, New Brims wick There he engaged in coinuier ilal pursuits, sending out trading ves sels to the West Indies, ills neigh bors, though, as has been said, weie hugely refugees; had stood by king and crown. They gave Arnold to tin- island that they did not line ms company. They banged him in elllgy once or twice, taking care that the elllgy bun' the word "Traitor" ln huge letters. One night Arnold's place of buslnei-H burned. It was icavlly insured. The companies re fused to pay. openly charging ui.u Hthor Arnold or his son had acted the Incendiary. The case went Into (he com Is and the Insurance com panies finally paid. Arnold pocketed the money and left the town, the oc i.islon or his leaving being made ono or tiiinendoiis lejolclng by the Inhab itants thioiiKhout all the land. It will be interesting to note wheth er in the new chapel which is being rotted at West Point the name of Celt. William Hull will nppear on the wall with the names of other olllcers who terved in the land forces of tho United States during the second war with Croat Urltaln. Con. Hull surren dered Detroit to the Knglish and aft erward was court-martialed for do Ink? it. The Society of the War or 1812, It is understood, will have chargo of the work or placing the tablets in West Point's new chapel. Tho olll cers' names, like the names of thoso olllcers who served in the revolutionary war and which havo nlace on the wans oi mo um cuain-i, inwuu will nppear In letters oi gum ui " School histories as a rule, in giving an account of the Detroit surrender, state simply that Con. Hull's action was considered cowardly. The fact that he was tried and sentenced to bo shot for cow at dice Is generally omitted. Hull was ordered to gt) to his Massachusetts home and t hoi is await the execution or Ills sentence. Old age "executed" him many years afterwards. It is probable that the commemorating society will content Itself with simply omitting llull'u name from its list, by which Hull's conduct, characterized as cowardly by a competent court, could be made to Btand as a winning to nil the generations of young soldiers. Occupying a considerable part or the wall space or tho beautiful old West Point place of worship there are already many black marble momorinls hearing the names of nil the general olllcers of tho revolutionary war from Artemus Ward of Con necticut to Ceorgo. Washington of Virginia. Upon one of these tablets the cadets as they file In on Sundny sco something which tells better than tho words or trtimpe't-tongued eloquence of the black Ignominy which attaches to tho name of n traitor. On one of the slabs occupying a place between two honored names there appears a black blot. Above and below It show the tips of gold letters. Enough of the lettering Is vhlble to let the ob server know after a moment's study that which it is intended In the main to conceal. A black block of marblo set In transversely ucross tho golden capitals blots out forever from the roll of lienor tho nnmo of Benedict Arnold, traitor. Touching on the treason of Benedict Arnold, there Is a little-known story which had for tho scene or Its action the four years of tho war of secession. In response to the first cnll of Abra ham Lincoln for troops a young man appeared nt a Detroit recruiting ofilco and enlisted. Do went to the front nnd in tho conrso of six months wna mndo u commissioned oillcor. Ho was of n retiring disposition, nlways courteous to his fellow olllcora and just to his men, hut he sought no close friend ships. He was noted throughout the command as a man whoso devotion to duty amounted to a pas sion. He once sought and secured a chango In command in order to havo a more frequent hand In the heavy fighting. Tills soldier rose to the rank of n major. Ho was offered at ono tlmo a colonelcy. Ho declined, lie fought In every battle of tho later Richmond campaign and was In nt tho end at Appomattox. Tho major headed his hnttalllou In tho great pa rade of the returning victors up Pennsylvania avo line. Then there camo the final mustering out or the troops. Less thnn a month afterward tho colonel or a fighting regiment received n letter bearing a Toronto postmark: "I served all through tho war under an assumed trine. I trust that I did my full duty. I wish you to know that I did what I did in order that I might in somo way make atonement for tho deed of one of my family.
