Then I went to a aeeo&4 doctor who after examining tha baby aaid it was eczema. - He also save ma an ointment whi h did not help either.

Moore. t years old, frr fourteen years a resident of Omaha and for the first two years of that time pastor of the Walnut Hill Methodist Epislcopal church, died Friday morning of typhoid pneumonia, from which he had been suffer ing for some time at his liomo. 4116 Cass street. Before coming to Omaha to live, Rev. Mr. Moore was for six years presiding rider of the Sixth district of the state Methodist church and lived at Orand Island. After retiring from the mrnlirtry.he entered the Insurance business and was en gaged In that with offires In the New York l ife building at the time of his death. Two sons and three daughters, besides hla wife, survive him. They are Gilbert If. and Grayson Moore of New Castle, Wyo.. Mrs. Bross of Sheridan, Wyo., and the Misses Minna and Juanlto Moore of Omaha. Of' the two daughters living In Omaha, Mit-s Minua Mpore Is a teacher of manual training In the Lathrop school and Miss Juanlta teaches In Benson. All five children will be present st the funer.il, which is to be held at the Dundee home, Sunday afternoon. -' The body will he taken to Mount Sterling. Ohio, Mr. Moore's birthplace, for burial. "James Riley, stand up!" At the crisp, harsh command or tne Judge, a white-haired man, wearing a mustache and Imperial rose In the dignity of his 56 years and made as If to utter a protest. Jarhes Riley" the Judicial sentence cut him short with merciless severity jou have been found guilty of forgery, the work of a habitual criminal engaged In a peculiarly heartless swindle, perpetrated upon the honest people of his neighbor hood. There Is nothing to be said, or heard, now In mitigation of your offense. You are sentenced to five j ears' Imprisonment in the penitentiary." t The convict's energy In defense had been utterly exhausted. He was led away, a crushed and broken old man. For a year and a half until , In fact he served that heavy term In the penitentiary. Then there came to the Jail from the governor a run pardon, tne acxnowieag- ment of the great commonwealth which Imprisoned him unjustly that he was Im RJley, the professional crook for whose crime he was paying the penalty, but J. C. White, respectable business man of New York City, whose misfortune It waa to have a rascal for his douMe. Was he alone In his misfortune? So far from alone that many another American has paid as heavy a price for a resemblance while all over the world the counterparts of famous personages have become such familiar nuisances that even royalty has the saying that a double doubles trouble. A Close Tall. Months after Mr. White was released from .his Pennsylvania' prison. Captain Kuhne of the detective bureau In Brooklyn, had his attention called to & photograph of Jimmy Somers, an expert burglar of New Rochelle. Blamed If he 'sn't a ringer for this Dave McGontgle," he mused, "who did the job at Summerfleld McLean's house, at .143 Ocean avenue. McQonlgle had been a convict, too. A rested at his home after a burglary had been committed, he waa Identified by Miss Masten, Mra. McLean's niece, as the in truder who bound and gagged her. McGontgle, protesting earnestly that he had reformed and was at home with his mother at the time the crime took place. was on the eve of conviction, wnen Captain Kuhne discerned his likeness to Somers, the burglar. For once, police seal was tempered with intelligence; the ex-convict. but now sincerely honest man, went free. Only a year earlier, Thomas Quinn, be ing landed In the Tombs, in New York, for safe blowing, had the belated grace to confess a crime for which his double. James Courtney, was serving time at El- hlle. In Maryland, Joseph Luery received a pardon from Governor Warfleld after four years' Imprisonment out of the six to which he had ( been sentenced for the offense of h's counterpart. The same year brought from President Roosevelt a pardon for Captain George B. Boynton for the crime of counterfeiting, because his release was petitioned for by many men of prominence who were con vinced he was Captain Charles M. Boyn ton and not the other. - Kverrone Mas a Doable. " Criminal records afford similar cases for every year through which ihe research may be carried, until the average man be comes convinced that he lives In constant danger of stumbling into some entanglement. His apprehension is well grounded. What ever his social position, It would appear that the old belief, that every human belr.g has a double life somewhere, Is correct. Few men who have attained maturity have failed to confront, at some lime, an other whose presence made him wonfler whether they were facing their long-lost twin. Their only hope must be that the double will live a life of decency, and so refrain from overwhelming them with un earned disgrace. I That hope is most dearly cherished, how ever, by men in distinguished position; but the possibilities of "The Masqueradcr" and 'The Prisoner of Zenda" are always there, like an explosion In a stick of dyna mite. Take King Alfonso of 8pain for example, he of the gallant ways with tin fair, of the romantic devotion to his beautiful young queen, and now of the primly proper demeanor which his youthful paternity surely should entail. Only a little while ago the cable had a charmingly Bohemian adventure to tell of the gallant young Spanish monarch, and M.le. Casslve, the pretty Parislenne, who plays the leading role in "Occupe tol d'Amelle" at tbe Theater des Nouveautes, had quite a popular vogue on the strength of her attractive adventure. Her taxtcab, tnextrlcaoie among many halted vehicles in the Boulevard des Italiena, was crowded against a luxurious touring car whose young, tall and smartly dressed occupant smiled upon her most agreeably. Could the trading lady of the Nouveautes do less than return that friendly overture? More smiles, more hap piness; everything progressing fascinat ingly, when the heart of Mile. Casslve gave a sudden bound and then sank In awe. Her vis-a-vis waa Alfonso, king of Spain. Coaldn't Keep Beeret She bowed to him then, oh,, very re spectfully. And he bowed to .her "with," as the cable unctuously, remarked, "the most amiable deference." But Just then his besst of a chauffeur saw a clear space ahead, and remorselely chauffed him away from her; and the best he could do was Jump to his feet, turn to look after her and, as his parting compliment, fling her a royal kiss. Did Mile. Casslve neglect to tell all Paris about it inside of fifteen minutes? Not If tha drama. In ber pretty person, knew It self; and the drama usually does, in Paris. It was a grand advertisement. But what rf the Spanish king when his lovely but wroth young queen, the tale of his flirtation echoing from Europe to America, and her beautiful blue eyes ablaze over the escapade and its notoriety, called him to the conjugal confession? "Ah! my adored one," he might protest till his black hair turns gray, "never be lieve such a thing of your faithful, de voted husband. Why, I wasn't on the Boulevard des Italteris; I've never seen Mile. Casslve; I would not flirt with an actress" In the green room, much less upon the streets... Can you believe it of your own darling?" etc. But what husband Is there who can imagine acquittal, under such evidence, in a Jealous wife's eyes? There ought to be a taw to prevent dash ing young Parisians from damsging the Innocent hearts of French actresses by masquerading as royalty. But law can t reach them.

In advance of the real personage, the respcotful homage tendered by the passing proletariat? The Kaiser's Doable. Every year, too, Paris has a spasm over he report that Kaiser Wllhelm has slipped In under an incognito. Oh, he has been seen everywhere, going about with a stu dious assumption of the air of a quiet French citizen. The double of the kaiser has never yet been called to account In Paris because the likeness Is so perfect that every official la more than half afraid the man Is the kaiser himself; and then. If any dispute should arise phew! the Prussian troopers over the border! But In Silesia, In Germany, everybody knows Max Nlschke, the chimney sweep, whom nobody can tell apart from the em peror, except that Max will clean their chimneys and Wllhelm won't. Can It be that the Btlestlan chimney sweep, after working for a year or so. Invests In a cake of soap and so off for Paris and some fun with the French? There Is no doubt something like that happens every little while In England, al though King Edward's double Is on a higher plana than the kaiser's chimney sweep. He Is Sir Ernest Cassell, King Edward's particular chum, a hanker. The king de pends upon the likeness so much that he often calls on his double for relief from onerous public appearances where It Is not essential that he be seen at close range. In the United States every bookmaker who happens to meet Robert S. Hughes of Beaver, Penn., looks longingly at his solar plexus after the first glance at his whis kers, fighting mad on the spot In his fan cied recognition of Governor Hughes of New York. In congress the visitors can never tell which Is the august personage who is hold ing the floor with eloquence and both feet, Senator La Follette of Wisconsin or Senator Clay of Georgia, and some of them are profoundly shocked over the political here sies uttered by each with the face of the other. , By some blessed dispensation the same stalwart brand of republicanism streams from Senator Briggs of New Jersey and Senator Du Pont of Delaware, the only difference In their looks being that Briggs seems rather peppery, while Du Pont Is gunpowdpry. Together they might pass as the peaceable but Inflammable twins. As for ex-President Roosevelt, the casual Washingtonians used to toss cents to de termine whether they were reverencing the president or merely admiring his attorney general, Moody. Since Mr. Moody became one of the supreme court the hosts of ap pellants there can't tell whether It Is the Justice who shall decide their fate or James Maher, his clerk, whom they pass In the corridors. The ex-president, meanwhile. Is frwe to wander off Into Africa or anywhere else, safe from any really near double, excepting always the city of Florence, in Italy. There, If he should happen In the picture frnme shop of one hustling dealer named Pletro Casslnl and the proprietor should hold up his wares for Inspection, the dis tinguished traveler would be likely to ex claim: "Bee here, slgnor, I asked to be shown frames, not mirrors." Philadelphia North American. PERILS WE LEAST SUSPECT Lesson of a Decayed Civilisation Sag atests Home Hard Ism mrr Knot-La. When In the twilight of autumn days some mosquito busses about jrour head and you strike at it viciously with open pnlm. have you ever paused to think what ruin and death fhat tiny midget on gauzy wings has wrought In the world's history? Bearing germs of fever and alckners across land and sea, the mosquito Is now charged with depopulating cities, devasta ting countries and even wiping out a whole civilization. v "What?" you will say. "This tiny Insect that I kill between my hands responsible for the overthrow of a civilization?" Even so. Listen to what Sir James '"rlchton Browns, an eminent English sclentlHt, says In his recent book, "Parsimony In Nutri tion:" "Ware drained Greece and moral laxity enfeebled here, but it was. it now seems clear, the Insignificant mosquito 'hat com passed Its ruin. Mr. W. II. S. Jones and Mr. G. G. Ellett have shown that It Is In the highest degree probable that the deteri oration of the Greeks In the fourth century before Christ, their abandoment of belief In religion, a future life and the value of patriotism, was brought about by the In troduction and spreading among them of malaria, for the diffusion of which the configuration of the country affords special facilities." The mosquito was Introduced Into Greece, we are told, by ships, sailing from Egypt. Since - tlio Insect was as numerous as Sahara sands In Nilotic marshes from the times when the Sphinx was young, the moHquito's first voyage across the Mediter ranean must have been aocidentsl. This, It would seem, adds the last touch to the Irony of fate. It Is most Inconceivable, It must be admitted, that "the glory that was Greece" should have perished from the earth merely because a morqulto bit some old Greek on the toe or stung some siumbrlng maid of Athens on her damask cheek. But It may be true who knows? Chicago Inter-Ocean. RELIEF FOR CULLEN FAMILY Fund la Ilelna; Subscribed to Aid Household of the Old . Policeman.
