"Va. The question is who owns the bed of the Onto river the United States. West "Virginia or the owners of the property abutting on the river ? The state of "West Vir ginia has jurisdiction in criminal cases over the surface of the Ohio river , but the United States owns the waterway , while the people along the river bank in many places claim the land clear across to the Ohio side. The question arose in connection with a sale of coal lands a few days ago , and unless the legislature enacts gome law upon the subject it will probably be carried to the Supreme Court of the United States. The state borders along the river for 225 miles , and the river has an average width of at least half a mile for this distance. Every acie is underlaid with coal , which can be mined by Bhafting , and the value of the land for that purpose will beworth fight ing for. B'Ogruphlc Record of Dnnbav.

Phoebe Gary. TWO SECRETS. Heartbreaking Little Story of Two Devoted Old People. "How's business , Ehen ? " The old man was washing at tlic siuk after his day's work. "Fine , Marthy , flue ! " "Does the store look just the same , with the red geranium in the window ? Land , how I'd like to see it with the suu shining Lu ! How does it look , Ebeu ? " Ebeu did not answer for a moment ; when he did his voice shook a bit. "The store's never been the same since you left , Marthy. A faint little flush came into Mar- tha's withered cheek. Is a wife ever too old to be moved by her husband's flattery ? For years Eben and Martha had kept a tiny notion store ; then Martha fell sick and was taken to the hospital. That was months ago. She was out now , but she would never be strong never be partuer in their happy little trade again. "I can't get over a hankering for a sight of the store , " thought Martha one forenoon. "If I take it real careful I can get down there ; 'tisn't so fur. Eben'll scold , but he'll be tickled most ao death. " It took a long time for her to drag herself downtown , but at last she stood at the head of the little street -where the store was. All of a sudden she stopped. Ahead , on the pavement , stood Eben. A tray hung from his neck on which were arranged a few cards of collar studs , some papers of pins , and shoelaces. Two or three holders were in his shaking old hand , and as he stood he called his wares. Martha clutched at the wall of the building. She looked over the way at the little store. Its windows were fill ed with fruit , and an Italian name flut tered on the awning. Then Martha un-1 derstood. The store had gone to pay her expenses. She turned and hurried away as fast as her trembling limbs would take her. It will hurt him so to have me find out ! " she thought , and the tears trickled down her face. 'Tie's kept a secret from me , and I'll keep one from him , " she said to her self. "He sha'n't know that I know. " That night when Eben came in , chill ed and weary , Martha asked , cheerful- y , the .old. question : "How's business ? " "Better'n ever , Marthy ! " answered Qben. Youth's Companion.

III EEKLY Sends the Following Grand Testimonial to the Merits of Cuticura Remedies in the Treatment of Humours of the Biood , Skin and Scalp. " I wish to give my testimony to the efficiency of the Cuticura Reme dies in. what seems to me two some what remarkable cases. I had a number of skin tumours small ones on my arms which had never given me serious trouble ; but about two years ago one came on my throat. At first it was only about as large as a pinhead , butas it was in a position where my collar , if not just right , would irritate it , it soon became very sensitive and began to grow rapidly. Last spring it was as large , if not larger , than a bean. A little unusual irritation of my collar started it to swelling , and in a day or two it was as large as half an orange. I was very much alarmed , and was at a loss to de termine whether it was a carbuncle or a malignant tumor. friends tried to persuade mete to consult'my physician ; but dread ing1 that he would insist on using the knife , I would not consent to go. Instead I got a small "bottle of Cuticura Resolvent and a box of Cu ticura Ointment. I took the former according to directions , and spread a thick layer of the Ointment on a linen cloth and placed it on the , swelling. On renewing it I would bathe my neck in very warm water and Cuticura Soap. In a few days the Cuticura Ointment had drawn the swelling to a head , when it broke. Every morning it was opened with a large sterilized needle , squeezed and bathed , and fresh Ointment put on. Pus and blood , and a yellow , cheesy , tumorous matter came out. In about three or four weeks' time this treatment completely eliminated boil and tumor. The soreness that had ex tended down into my chest was all gone , and my neck now seems to be perfectly well. "About five or six yeara ago my sister had a similar experience. She had two large lumps come under her right arm , the result of a sprain. They grew rapidly , and' our physi cian wanted to cut them out. I would not listen to it , and che tried the Cuticura Remedies ( as I did a. few months ago ) with magical effect. In six weeks' t'me the lumps had entirely disappc.rcdand have never returned. * 'l have great faith in the Cuticura Remedies , and I believe they might be as efficacious in Bunilar cases with other people , and thus save much suffering , and perhaps life. I have derived so much benefit from the use of them myself that I am was connnea to ner oca , and was unable to speak , when her daughter , at my suggestion , tried the effect of the Cuticura Ointment andCnticura Resolvent. Strange to say , she was very shortly relieved of the most distressing symptoms. The swelling seemed to be exteriorized , and she is now able to be around her house , and can talk as well as ever. " It seems to me that I have pretty good grounds for believing that Cuticura Remedies will prove suc cessful in the most distressing forms of blood and skin humours , and if you wish to use my testimonial as herein indicated , I am willing that you should do so , with the further privilege of revealing my name and address to such persons as may wish to substantiate the above state ments by personal letter to me.1 / Chicago , Nov. 12 , 1902.
