A Question of Ownership
Seventy thousand acres of coal land
worth all the way from $10 to $100 an
acre , aggregating at the lowest figure
32,000,000 or $3,000,000 , says the Bal
timore Herald , are involved in a ques
tion of title which has been raised
within the last few days in Parks-
burg , W. "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.

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 /
