CURED BY CUTICURA Skin Fair as a Lily with no Scar 1o Recall Awful Sore Writes Mother. “1 herewith write out in full the be- ginning and end of that terrible disease, eczems. which caused my babe untold suffering and myself many sleepless nights. “ My babe was born seemingly a fair, bealthy child, but when she was three weeks old a swelling appeared on the back of her head, and in course of time broke. It did not heal but grew worse, and the sore spread from the size of & dime to that of a dollar. I used all ds of remedies that I could think of, but nothing seemed to help; in fact, it grew worse. Her hair fell out where the sore was, and I feared it would never grow again. It continued until my aged father came on a visit, and when he saw the baby he told me to get Cutl- s Soap and Ointment right away. To please him I did so, and to my surprise by their use the sore began to beal over, the bair grew over it, and to-day she bas a mice bead of halr, her #kin is as fair as & My, and she has no scar Jeft to recall that awful sore, and it is over eight months saad no sign of its returning.” Mrs. Wx.

A week'or so later another | George Bennett and Alfred Black 'agent called upon her with a proof of the enlarged portrait and a lot of samples of frames and he induced her to sign a contract for a frame for the picture and to pay a $1 or $2 deposit on its price, which ranged upward from $3. That was the last she heard of the matter until she visited the Mec- Allister-street store. There she found that either the picture or the frame was uneatisfactory, but Mr. Silver- stein resolutely refused to return either the original photograph or the cash deposit until he was paid the sum which she had agreed to pay for the frame—and in some instances the sum demanded by him was larger than the sum she had agreed to pay. As the photographs were usually valued very highly by their owners, the ladies com- plained to the police, with the result that Mr. Silverstein was arrested and charged with obtaining money by false | pretense.

One German lady went so far in her wrath as to as- sault him. “I think the sooner you retire from your present business the better it will be for you and the community,” said Judge Mogan to Mr. Silverstein. “Even if vour agents did play you false, the women from whom they obtained mon- ey and photographs should not be made to suffer for it. Under the law the em- ployer is responsible for the business acts of his employes. Besides, your business seems to have been rather a tricky business throughout. The com- plainants were deceived in the first place by the assurance that the en- larged picture would cost them noth- ing, but that assurance, it appears, was merely to get possession of the photo- graph and to subsequently induce them to purchase a frame for more than it was worth. The best thing you can do is to restore to the complainants all that you have obtained from them and I will give you until Saturday morning to do it.” Thus was shattered another shrewd project that aimed to take advantage of the popular yearning to obtain something fcr.non:lng.. Seventeen-year-old Tommie White, stoutly denied that his life aim is to be a hobo, despite the fact that he jour- neyed from Denver to San Franclsco as a brakebeam tourist and was ar- rested while in the company of profes- sional tramps. He left his Colorado home, Tommie said, to seek employ- ment. and if he had ever harbored am- bition to be a Weéary Willie his expe- riences on the trip from the Rockles to the Pacific would heve dispelled it. The life of a toiler was good enough for him and if he were restored to freedom he wpuld hasten to seek a job. “Go down to the glass works,” said Judge Fritz to the boy. “and tell the manager that you want to work and that I hope he will give you an oppor- tunity to earn a livelihood. You can't dodge work and remain in San Fran- cisco, and I'd advise you to abstain from trying it.” There was no reason to doubt the sincerity of Tommy's declaration that he would proceed straight from the courtroom 1o tlle ‘l.m 'workl James Jackson (colored) had donned a new sweater for his third appearance | before Judge Mogan on the charge of stealing a bicycle from 17-year-old Johnnie Benzinski.
