Tefls Everyone About It Mra. John W. Pltchford, of Aspen, N. C. I will always use Hunt's Cur* for Itching trouble, and toll all I see about It I could shout now to know that we are all well of that dreadful trou* lis. The first of last fall my little boy brake out with some kind of Itching trouble. Thinking his blood was bad I gare him a good tonic, but he got worse, and could not sleep at night. Some said he had Itch, and told mo what was good for It. I used what people said would cure It, but nothing did any good. Mf other two children and myself took the disease from him lu January, 1911. I saw Hunt's Cure advertised and I purchased a 50c. box It my little boy so much I got a box for each of the family, and now we are all well of that awful trouble. Hunt'a Cure will cure Itch In a short time If you will go by directions. We hsd It In Its worse form, and used Hunt's Cure, and we are now all well. Thanks to A. R, Richards Medicine Co. of Sherman, Texas, manufacturers of such healing medicine. Nothing will cure like Hunt's Cure, or as quickly. Use it If you have any Itching trouble and you will never be sorry. That Is What 1 did. MRS. JOHN W. PITCHFORD, Anpen, N. G. OUT FOR DUSINESB.

Of ll\\\l| 1/1/ courr.fl not. As soon u/ suggest Faster without .JKrgfct t'KKH, Decoration day v. . —J without flags, or Thanksgiving without a turkey. Why, wo could better dis pense with the flrecruckera and other noise-makers on the glorious Fourth than to worry through the day with out the inspiring strains of martial music. Indeed, as a matter of fact, the crusaders for a "safe and sane" Fourth are trying to teach all the people that It Is the better part or wisdom and patriotism to go short on explosives and to increase the Fourth's always generous menu of band music. This may serve to explain in part how it Is that the brass band —or the vaunted "sliver cornet band," If you please—is coming to play a moro prominent, part than ever in our In dependence day festivities. Hut, of course, It did not await this awaken ing to the charms of tho music of the horns and drums to render tho band Indispennible on Fourth of July. The oldest citizen will testify that It was so In the days of his youth. Like as not he fell into a feverish, fitful sleep on the night before the Fourth to the lullaby of the village band "practicing" for the morrow. It Is an even chance that It WUB the crash of the band and not the roar of artil lery that awakened him on the event ful day. And thereafter he heard Its Inspiring "tunes" at short Intervals nil through the day until the last sky rocket had winked out lis brief glory a few minutes before July Fourth gavo way to July fifth. And pity the poor bandman —per- haps. - That Is you would be prone to pity him If you did not vividly re call what an object of envy he Is to all the rising generation. Even the fat man who manipulates the bass drum—ho is nearly always, you know, the most portly of the musicians—ls a hero in the eyes of the youngsters who march In th course of tho day Just as far as the band for the simple reason that they follow it faithfully in all Its migrations up and down the town. And as for tho drum major sweltering In the lofty fur hat and torrid red coat, liberally bespattered with gold lace, why, not the ball play er of renown nor yet the president of the United States could command such worship as he receives from barefooted admirers at his heelß. llut, all joking aside, the Fourth of July Is pretty certain to prove the busiest day of tho year for the mem bers of the average military band — they are "military bands," you know, If we are to believe the posters that herald the Fourth of July celebration. As has been hinted above, the band is likely to be called out early in the morning for a street concert or more likely to welcome and escort to his hotel tho orator of the day. who ar rives on an early train. Then, not later than ten o'clock, the music makers must be In their places at the head of tho parade then forming, and for the next couple of hours they will be tramping up nnd down streets and roads that may be dusty enough to spell discomfort oven for the head of the procession. At noon there Is a *rlef respite for luncheon and mayhap the bandmeu. If they are lucky, are treated to Ice cream by the local belles who are, for this day at least, enrolled In the service of the aid society or tho patriotic organization that has things in charge. The lull Is brief, however, for one o'clock Is a favorite hour ror a band concert, according to the Ideas of those conscientious committeemen, who feel that something must be hap pening every moment. 1b the after noon the band Is equally busy, and the only difference from the morning la that the players get to alt down —that la they are called upon to play In connection with the speech-making and the singing In the local park or the races at tho fair ground or other ■et program. In tho evening there Is more band music as an accompani ment for tho fireworks, and then the bandman. who doea not "work at tt regularly" can go home convinced that though ho baa been earning money while everybody else was spending It, ho has worked just as bard for bis $4 or $5 a a he could have done had he been brick laying or farming or clerking or barbering. The band which has become so fa miliar to us that we regard It as a necessity. Is an Institution of ancient origin. Our own army and navy have had bends for more than a century and civilian bandg In this country date back almost as far. The band as an organized body of musicians could not. of course, come Into existence until a variety of different musical instru ments had been invented and tho de volopmont along this line proceeded somewhat slowly a few centuries back 1-rom the outset, however, the most uncivilized nations recognized the three chief factors of band mualo — rhythm, meloay and harmony, as manifested by the *hree basic Instru ments, tho drum, the fife nnd the bugle or cornet. In this connection it Is Interesting to nole that the drum, which Is closer to tho heart of young America than any other unit in the band, Is an Instrument which cam* , to us from the Orient. The bugles and cornets, which are so much In evidence on the Fourth of July, have Men developed from the Bingle tubes of antiquity. Orlgir 'Uy the range of these Instruments was limited to two notes, but In time the tubes were bent and finally the In strument was mado In several colls, with the result that the musical range was broadened proportionately. The whistling Instruments such us tlfea, flutes and clarinets, are the outcome of a somewhat Blmllar development. It Is worthy of note that It Is seldom nowadays that anybody attempts to Introduce a new instrument or u rad ical adaptation of an old design for I use in bands. Kvery now and then some composer or orchestra conductor I will come forward with some new or chestra Instrument (many of them short-lived In popularity, it must be admitted), but it is seldom that inven tors attempt to introduce new band Instruments. Indeed, with the excep tion of soiue new-fangled drums, there has been almost nothing new la this Held in many years. It cannot be said that there Is any standard membership for u band. Many an American village that has a band of ten or twelve pieces plurnea itself on the possession, whereas the small city la rare than can boast a band of more than sixteen to twenty members. Yet even this latter num ber appears amall when compared with the membership of our great con cert, military and naval bands. Such a band usually has In the neighbor hood of fifty members, and some of tnem, with a fife, drum and bugle corps added, muster nearly one hun dred men on parade. In Germany and Italy the regulation military band la made up of forty-five musicians, while the most famous band in France num bers seventy musicians. The United States has always held a high place In the wrorld of band music, thanks not only to our great governmental bands, such as the noted United States Marine band—the "Prealdent'a Own," which plays at tb« White Houae —but alao to the famous private bands, such as tfcoae of Souaa and the late Patrick Qllmore. incl* dently it may be mentioned that American band muila has the call all over the world. The lively, character istic, Inspiring marches, auch as thop* composed by the "March King," John Philip Souaa. have been "translated" tnto the band reudi'tlons of every civil ized nation, and whereaa an American eometlmea has difficulty In recognizing the foreign versions of these dashing airs, they are. at worat so much better than anything among current compos! tlons abroad that they are balled with wild enthusiasm. On® of the Jokes of American his tory la that the first band which Is mentioned as being aboard an Ameri can warship was deliberately atoien by the commander of the vossel who, It seems was mighty fond of band music. This was more than a century ago. The officer who boldly kidnaped a full-fledged band waa Capt. Daniel McNlell. and bla good ship waa the corvette lloston, carrying twenty-eight guns. The Boston had put Into an Italian port for a brief stay, and a band attached to one of the regiments stationed at that port came aboard to give a concert. The Yankee captain was so fascinated with the music that he forthwith tripped anchor, made all sail and escaped to sea with the pro testing musicians. Of course there was a big howl over the episode, and the government of the United Btate» had to hasten to disclaim all responsi bility and send the musician* back home. The'flrat real worth while band in tho American navy was likewise captured, but the Intrepid Decatur caine Into possession of this band through the capture of a British war ship and then Induced the British mu sicians to enlist In his service. When this band reached New York and marched through tfle streets at ih« head of a procession of Yankee blue jackets it created a sensation. The greatest latitude has always been allowed in the matter of the uniforms worn by bandmen. Except In the United States army and navy, there* are no rules or restrictions gov erning the Bort of costumes the musi cians shall wear when on parade, and our private bands have taken advan tage of this license to bedeck them selves In gorgeous attire. Red and blue are the favorite colors for band uniforms —always with as much gold or silver lace or white braid as the bandmen can afford—but there are some bands that in selecting a design for a uniform seem to have been moved by a desire to have It present as many different colors as possible. Zouave and hussar uniforms have proven popular with not a few* bands, and others manage to look very natty in uniforms of white duck. Perhaps the handsomest and showi est of all band uniforms Is that worn on state occasions at the White House by the Marine band. It consists of light blue trousers and brilliant red cont, liberally embellished with black braid. The mounted bands of tha United States cavalry are a novelty and never fall to arouse wonder that they can give aa good music as they do, considering that each member, even to the drummer, is mounted on a prancing steed. In all bands the drum major is the .most gaudily garbed member of that organisation, and wears a hat dealgned to make him ap pear about eight feet In height in the eyes of the small boys. Prompt to the Minute. t Sir Charles Dllke once spoke with admiration of an American he had met In San Francisco. The Ameri can told him he would be coming to England In a year. Dllke Invited him to lunch and gave him a day four teen montha later, assuring him he would give him a distinctively Eng lish luJch, begging him at the aame time to be punctual. "If 700 will give me an hour 111 be on hand." replied the American. Dllke gave one o'clock. As the clock Btruck one on the day In question fourteen months afterward Dllke walked downatalra to the dining room, which waa on the c ro, *nd ®°° r of his house. Just as the American walked In.

The destruction of the army waa probably aoutbweat of Judah toward Egypt. The importance of the event which forma the aubject of thla lesson la ahown by the fact that lta history la given in three books of the Bible, and probably referred to in another, oc cupying seven or eight chapters, be sides the clay cylinder on whioh Sen nacherib made his own record. It was a great crisis in Israel's his tory like the exodus, and return from captivity, a signal landmark, to teach and warn and encourage and comfort Israel In other great crises, and the nations and individuals of all times. Hezekiah, although the aon of a bad father (but a good mother), began hia reign with a thorough and widespread | reformation and revival of the true re- j liglon, even while the Assyrians were invading the Northern Kingdom. He { cleansed and repaired the temple, re- ; Btored the temple services, and pro vided for the "support of the Levites and for popular religious instruction i from the books of the law, thus bring ing about a great uprising against Idolatry. The result was most happy. "Heze kiah had exceeding much riches and honor." Hla kingdom waa tranquil, | strong and wealthy. But one constant | danger threatened Judah—the grow- 1 ing power of Assyria, whose overlord- ! ship Ahaz had acknowledged, against , the urgent protests of Isaiah. In 701 B. C. the great invasion of Palestine was made by Sennacherib, with a double siege of Jerusalem. Sennacherib sent an army demanding the aurrender of Jeruaalem. He may have felt that it was a mistake to leave In hia rear so powerful a fort ress, while he had still to complete the overthrow of the {Egyptians." The Assyrians* coming near to the walls of the city and speaking through Rabshakeh, the chief officer of Sen nacherib, made the contest one be tween Jehovah and the Assyrian Idols, between the true religion, the one means of redeeming the world, and Hezekiah, and Isatah, and apparently the scribes and elders, clothed In sackcloth, went into the temple and prayed from their inmost souls. Note how afflictions lead to prayer. Hezekiah saw before him captivity, suffering, probably death, the loss of his kingdom, the extinction of his line, the exile of his people. But above all he aaw the fall of true religion, the dishonor of Qod'a name, a relig ious and moral loss to the world. We should pray for temporal blessinga, for whatever we need; but at the same time we should never let the de sire for earthly things overshadow the larger and more important spiritual Interests; but rather, as in Hezeklah's case, the pressure of personal need should make more intense the desire for Ood's cause and kingdom. Then came a message from Ood through Isaiah. Hitherto Isaiah's mes sage had been one of warning to Judah, in order to make them so obe dient to Ood that the relief could come to them as a blessing. Now his message concerns the Assyrians, but also shows Judah why Ood cornea to their help. The wonderful deliverance cauie when the angel of the Lord smote of the Assyrians a hundred and four score anl five thousand. Just where this occurred we do not know. Byt Sennacherib was marching toward Egypt. The deliverance was a deliv erance of Egypt as well aa of Judah. The scene may well have been near Egypt. WLether it waa by a storm, or pestilence, no one knows. It ia remarkable that the histories of both his chief rivals in this campaign, Ju dah and Egypt, should contain Inde pendent reminiscences of so sudden and miraculous a disaster to his host From Egyptian sources there haa come down through Herodotus a story that a king of Egypt, being deserted by the military caste, when Senna cherib. king of the Arabs and Assy rians inyaded his country, entered hla sanctuary and appealed with weeping to his god; that the god appeared and cheered him; that he ralaed an army of artiaans and marched to meet Sen nacherib la Peluslum; that by night a multitude of field mice ate up the quivers, bowstrings and ahleldstrapa of the Assyrians; and that, aa these fled on the morrow, -very many aC them fell. A stone statue of the king, adda Herodotus, stood In the temple of Hephaestua, having a mouse in the hand. Now, alnce the mouse waa a symbol of audden destruction, and even of the plague, thla atory of Herodotus seems to be merely a pic turesque form of a tradition that pesti lence broke out In the Assyrian camp. The parallel with the Bible narrative is cloae. In both accounts It la a prayer of the king that prevails. In both the del* sends his agent —ln tha grotesque Egyptian an army of mice, in the aubllme Jewish hla angel. In both the effects are sudden, happening in a single nights Prom the Assyrian aide we have thla corroboration: that King Sen nacherib did abruptly return to Nine veh without taking Jeruaalem or meeting with Tirbakah, and that, though this Egyptian ruler reigned for twenty yeara more, he never again made a Syrian campaign.
