He then bude the others good night When he had gone the young: est of the group, who was less bald than the others, said: "Do you know wiy Mr. Blank made the getaway? He wears a wig, and is probably as bald as any of us.” And for the rest of the journey Mr. Blank's head was the object of study—at a distance— for he never again appeared im the smoking room THE RIGHT SOAP'FOR BABY'S SKIN In the care of baby's skin and hair, Cuticura Soap is the mother's fa. vorite, Not only is it unrivaled In purity and refreshing fragrance, but its gentle emollient properties are usually sufficient to allay minor irri tations, remove redness, roughness snd chafing, soothe sensitive condi tions, and promote skin and hair bealth generally.

Did you ever hear of a repeating rat trap?

It will pay to buy if you need the implement, but do not buy it because it is cheap, nor because you can buy it on time. The note soon falls due and it often comes due when you are short of funds. Do not ask your neighbor to go security, if the bank will not accept the note with your wife as indorser, do not buy. This is sound advice and if followed will save you lots of trouble and con- siderable money. Do not go security for anyone, I is wrong, as you may your family as well.
