BANK CASH VANISHED
CASHIER FORGETFUL AND JAM
TOR UNDER ARREST.

P1TTSBURG, August 2-Because $500
mysterlously disappeared from the First
National Bank of Turtle Creek, Thomas
Jordan, the negro janitor, is in Jail in de-
fault Of $1,000 bail on a charge of larceny.
He protests his innocence
At hearing before Justice Bryans. CASH
Ter Thomas W. Carroll testified that when
he left the bank Wednesday evening he
failed to put away 1880 In currency. II
was left on the counter inside the paying
teiler's window. When the cashier returned
yesterday morning the money was gone
cashier Carroll at once notified President
A. L. Fallur and the directors. At a con-
ference it was decided that as the janitor
was the only person who had access to the
bank at night he should be arrested. Dr.
A. L. Trevash. wee president of the bank
made the information and the constable
was given the warrant.
Janitor Under Arrest.
In the meantime Janitor Jordan had heard
OF the trouble and returned to the bank he
says, to help solve the problem of what he
claims Is to him most mysterious theft
He was promptly arrested and after a pre-
1manary hearing sent to jail. Suspicion
rested upon the janitor because it is his
duty to clean the bank at night He saws
he did so. but did not see the money which
he considers strange, as he busted off all
the desks.
Over the telephone Cashier Carroll denied
that any money of the institution was miss
ing, and was unable to account for the fact
That Jordan was in the county Jail charged
with having stolen between IS 1000 and So 600
of the bank money. Carroll acknowledged
he had experienced some difficulty in con-
nection with Jordan. but affirmed it was
only matter of disorderly conduct and
had nothing to do with the loss of money
Four county detectives and operatives of
local provate detective bureau have been
put on the case.

ECZEMA COVERED BABY.
Worst Case Doctors Ever Saw-suf
fered Untold Misery-Perfect
Cure by Cuticura Remedies.

''My son, who is now twenty-five
years of age, when four months old
began to have eczema on his face,
spreading quite rapidly until he was
nearly covered. The eczema was some
thing terrible, and the doctors said 1t
was the worst case they ever saw. At
times his whole body and face were
covered, all but his feet. I used many
kinds of patent medicines, to no avail.
A friend leased me to try Cuticura.
At last I decided to try Cuticura when
my boy was three years and four
months old, having had eczema all that
time and suffering untold misery.
began to use all three of the Cuticura
Remedies. He was better in two
months; in six months he was well.

Truth and
Quality

appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection

effects always purchase the genuine

But a GOODNESS had come between

Since then she had been learning to
live without him and it was a bitter
lesson. True she did not speak of
it, not even to her best friends, but
the ache was always there.
Her work was done at last. She
had time to look at little Lille slum-
bering in her low trundle-bed with
her stocking spread out trustingly on
the pillow beside her. Now was the
time for Santa Claus to come. But
the sick mother was too ill and broken
with anxiety to be bothered. There
was nobody to fill that stocking but
Hattie, and nothing to fill it with ex-
cept what her girls wit might devise.
She was very tired. All day she
had been battling against storm and
sickness, doing woman's work and
a mans too. Now she must do Santa
Claus work. Was ever Santa
Claus so sleepy? Oh, what would she
not give to throw herself on the bed,
dressed as she was, and sleep? But
there was no time for that. Santa
Claus must come to the waiting child.

The spirit Of Christmas! What is
the spirit Of Christmas? Is 1t the
generous spirit, the spirit of giving?
Yes, but that is not all. There will be
millions of gifts made between now
and the new year, and they will not
all express the Christmas spirit
Some will be made out of pockets of
plenty and thus entail no personal
service; some will be made under
compulsion of supposed necessity.
How many people give things at this
time because they think they must.
They must give to those who, they
hope or fear, will give to them. 1t is
almost unfortunate that giving and
taking has become such a feature of
our Christmas celebration because
the mere gift is incapable of express
ing the spirit of this occasion, and the
occasion itself has become a burden
TO many because it has been so much
abused. It is not by giving lavishly
that we honor Christ, whose birth we
celebrate, but by sharing unselfishly
every good thing we possess. This
puts the best things Of Christmas
within reach Of every human life and
enables every human being however
poor in goods to give generously Of
whatever else he has. We all have
much. Is money denied US, then let
IL give what is better, a word to
,heer, smile to awaken hope, some
hing ont of our haarts' freacuro Who

mo, of course not. But papa goes
out on the prairie. Why shouldn't
Santa Claus? Don't you think he could
get here with light load? You
know, when we came, we got stuck in
the sioughs lots of times and papa
unloaded the wagon and got it across
empty. Don't you think Santa Claus
could do that?'
Yes, he SHALL" said Hattie, with
determination.
She was only the hired girl who had
come in friendly pioneer fashion to
help the settlers wife through her
sickness; but to the inmates of the
little cabin she was a ministering
angel. Strong and faithful and eff
cient, an angel could hardly have
done more in that prairie home. Yet
she did not look in the least like an
angel as she put on the pioneers old
cap and coat, tied red wooden scarf
around her neck, drew old stockings
over her shoes and fioundered out
through the drifts, stout and rosy in
the wind, to do the chores for the
night. Not a glimpse of the near by
barn could be obtained from the cabin
door. Hattie tied a long rope to the
door knob and carefully held the other
end as she walked toward it.
She pulled down hay and fed the
stock and MIXED. She brought out
pals full of the snow water she had
melted in the big wash boiler for
them to drink. She brought in a
great supply of fuel and made every.
thing outdoors and in as snug and
CHEEKY as possible. Then she cooked
the supper-that did not take long
for there was little to cook-and
washed up the dishes and cared for
the sick woman and the little babe.
She put Lille to bed in the queer
little trundle-bed-th child chattering
about Santa Claus every minute-and
tucked her in as happy as if there
were no fear or anxiety in the world ;
oh, what would the pioneer families
have done without the girls" of that
time?
The mercury ranged and de-
grees below zero. The storm outside
howled with the fury of legion of
demons. In some drift out there in
the whiteness John Carver might be
sinking to death now.
The baby cried and the sick woman
moaned. There was no lack of occu
patton for the young helper. Hatties
strong arms held the child till it was
quoted and at the same time heated
flannels, brought water, smoothed pill
lows, and did everything that could
be done for the anxious young
mother.
Hattie, you haven't anything to
worry you" cried the sick woman, en-
viously.
mot thing except what worries
other people, answered Hattie. But
she knew that all the time she car.

Changed History Of World.

The history of the world prior to
Christ is history Of barbarism, cruel
ty and bloodshed. Read the history
of Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome
and you read history of vice, deg
radiation and crime. A history that is
written in blood and iniquity. The
classic Greeks and tenacious Romans
worshiped multitude of gods. Even
the Inhabitants of Syria had gone
astray until it was declared by the
prophet. Our worthy ancestors, the
Teutonics, were a semibarbarous
people without literature, without gov
eminent, without refinement and with
out religion, but when they received
the glad tidings Of the gospel of
Christ their habits were changed,
their manners refined and their civil
lization improved. Wherever this COS.
pei is proclaimed 1t is as a well of
swater springing up into everlasting
life.
