USE OF PENKNIFE WINS
SEATTLE MAN 1 BRIDE
CARVED HIS NAME ON WALK, SHE
SAW IT, AND SENT HIM A
POSTAL CARD.
Trenton, N. J.—Cupid's succeBs In
bringing two young people to the al-
tar was due to a name carved in a pa-
vilion on the board walk in Cape May
and to a penny souvenir postal card.
The principals in this little romance
are Miss Anna Clark, whose homo is
near Lawrenceville, and Joseph Bro-
dus, a contractor of Seattle, Wash.
They were wedded here the other day.
In 1907 Mr. Brodus visited the Jer-
sey summer resort. While sitting in
a pavilion on the board walk one after-
noon he carved his name with a pen-
knife on a beam of the structure. A
few weeks later Miss Clark spent a va-
cation in Cape May, and while with a
His Name Carved in the Board Walk
Resulted in a Wedding.
crowd of girls espied the name, "Jo-
seph Brodus, Seattle, Wash,." in the
pavilion. She called the attention of
her companions to the name and some
one suggested, in jest, that the owner
of the name would be surprised if he
received a postal. The idea appealed
to Miss Clark and that night Uncle
Sam carried in one of his mail bags
a penny souvenir postal directed to
Mr. Brodus, with these words: "Are
you in the habit of leaving your name
behind you in every place you visit?
I suppose you want Cape May folks to
remember you." Miss Clark not only
signed the card, but gave her home
address.
The Incident had been forgotten by
her a month afterwards, but was viv-
idly recalled to her memory when she
received a letter from Mr. Brodus. The
letter thanked the sender of the postal
for calling the writer's attention to his
boyishness and explained the circum-
stances.
Although realizing it was unconven-
tional, Miss Clark could not resist the
temptation to answer the letter, apolo-
gizing for her boldness in addressing a
stranger. This missive was unan-
swered and the romance was not like
others, inasmuch as there was no long-
distance love-making before the prin-
cipals met.
Cupid prompted Mr. Brodus to make
another trip east last summer, and he
went to the home of Miss Clark, where
ho Introduced himself. While sur-
prised, the girl received him. He
learned that several old friends of his
lived in this region, and through these
he convinced Miss Clark that Ills stand-
ing.in the community in which he lived
was extremely good. He remained
longer than he Intended. The friend-
ship which sprang up between the two
ripened into a deeper affection, and a
second visit of the Seattle man last
September resulted in the engage-
ment.
"I had a premonition that something
would result fiom the sending of thiit
.pogtaj," *Sld the bride. i
DiGS 10 MILES THROUGH SNOW
Colorado Prospector Reaches City
from Mountain Cabin More
Dead Than Alive. . ,
Buena Vistn, Col.—Almost (lead
from sheer-exhaustion and starvation
in battling- with the fierce elements,
Samuel Denny, an old prospector, ljv
lng near the head of Cottonwood pass,
west of Buena Vista, who had been
snowbound for over 36 days, stumbled
into the Hotel Buena ViBta at Hot
Springs, six miles west of Buena
Vista, after a trip of four days, cover-
ing a distance of over ten miles from
his lonely cabin In the mountains to
tho springs.
Denny would shovel out a trail for a
distance and then return to his cabin
for rest and food. Again he would
tackle the drifting snow, stonetlmcH
shoveling through drifts 30 and 40
feet deep. In this manner and In con-
stant danger of being engulfed in
snowslidea which many times blocked
the trail behind him, he finally reached
the springs, more dead than alive.
Denny lives at the head of Cotton-
wood pass, where he has located a
ranch and has a number of cattle, all
of which he says will die. He has a!
ready lost four from hunger and cold.
He was compelled to constantly shovel
snow so the cattle could get waler to
drink.
This finally overcame the man, who
is nearly 70 years of age, and. seeing
that ho could not save the rest of his
cattle without help, and finding his
provisions running low, he started for
the nearest place, Buena Vista Hot
Springs.

BABY'S WATERY ECZEMA
Itched and Scratched Until Blood Ran
—$50 Spent on Useless Treatments
•—Disease Seemed Incurable.
Cured by Cuticura for $1.50.
"When my little boy was two and a
half months old he broke out on both
cheeks with eczema. It was the itchy,
watery kind and we had to keep his
little hands wrapped up all the time,
and if he would happen to get them
uncovered he would claw his face till
the blood streamed down on his cloth-
ing. We called in a physician at once,
but he gave an ointment Which was so
severe that my babe would scream
when it was put. on. Wo changed
doctors and medicine until we had
spent fifty dollars or more and baby
was getting worse. I was so worn out
watching and caring for him night and
day that I almost felt sure the disease
was incurable. But finally reading of
the good results of the Cuticura Rem-
edies, I determined to try them. I
can truthfully say I was more than
surprised, for I bought only a dollar
and a halfs worth of tho Cuticura
Remedies (Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Pills), and they did more good than
all my doctors' medicines I had tried,
and in fact entirely cured him. His

spot or scar of anything. Mrs. W. M.

Spells of dizziness

Not Our Discovery.
The Greek, Eratosthenes, 250 13. C.,
taught the doctrine of the rotundity
of the earth, and the ideas of the
sphere, its poles, axis, the equator,
arctic and antarctic circles, equinoc-
tial points and the solstices were quite
generally entertained by the wise men
of that time. There were plenty of
men in Rome, therefore, who were
prepared to talk about the earth as a
sphere and to muke globes illustrating
their ideas.

"I insist on saying that Hunt's Light-

What JoyThey Bring
To Every Home
as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health—and
how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they
enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome
diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved,
not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an Injuri-
ous or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist
nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure
and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co.
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna has come into general favor in many millions of
well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon
personal knowledge and use.
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna has also met with the approval ©f physicians gen-
erally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform
all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup ®f Figs and Elixir of
Senna, obtained by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act
most beneficially, and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Cal-
ifornian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret
remedy, and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do
not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication.
Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of Senna always has the full name of the Company-4California Fig
Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in
bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent
size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it.
If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family
should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and
.the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required.
