v ES, a persecution has its compensation. In ,
its state of persecution a religion is pure, if

There is time to teach things as we'll as a

Self, and success is yours. But pray that success
may not come any faster than you are able to

lives are to degree repettions Of our own life.
) There certain things that come to every one,
and the rest we think might have happened to
, US, and may yet. So as we read, we uncon-
sciously slip into the life Of another man, and
; confuse our identity with his. To put ourselves
in his place is the only way to understand and

head to foot. / looked more like q

and pus oozed from the great sore on
my scalp, from under my finger nails,
and nearly all over my body. My
ears were so crusted and swollen

Every hair in my head fell out. /
could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh, making me cry out from the
pain. Ny family doctor did all he
could, but 1 got worse and worse. My
condition was awful. / did not think
l could live, and wanted death to
come and end my frightful sufferings.
I'm this condition my mother.in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem

Of recovery. But oh, what blessed re-
lief l experienced after applying Cuti-
cura Ointment. 1t cooled the bleeding
and itching flesh and brought me the
first real sleep had had in weeks. 1t
was as grateful as ice to a burning
tongue. 1 would bathe with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. I also took Cuti-
cura Resolvent for the blood. In a
short time the sores stopped running,
the flesh began to heal, and knew I
was to get well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in a
short time I was completely cured.

The number of inoculations for by.
drophobia at the Pasteur Institute of
France has pretty steadily decreased
since the service was started, 20 years
ago. In 1886 2,671 persons were
treated; in 1907 only 7S6. The small
est number, 62S, was treated in 1903.
This decrease, of course, might mean
a lessening belief in the efficacy of
the treatment or a decrease in the pre-
valeuce of rabbies in France. An
examination of the percentage of
fatal cases treated reveals that this
also has been decreasing, showing inn
provement in efficiency and indi-
eating that the treatment has prob
ably been effective in checking the
malady. At no time during the exist
ence of the institute has the number
Of fatal cases reached one per cent. of
the total treated, but in 1886 it was
094 per cent, while in 1907 it was
only 0SS. In 1906 1t fell as low as
0.13, there being only ore death out of
772 cases treated

The Melody of Life

The desire of happiness, beyond all
doubt, is a natural desire. 1t Is the
law of life itself that every being
seeks and strives toward the perfection
Of its kind, the realization of its own
specific ideal in form and function,
and a true harmony with its environ
ment. Every drop of sap in the tree
flows toward foliage and fruit. Every
drop of blood in the bird beats toward
flight and song. In a conscious being
this movement toward perfection must
take conscious form. This conscious
form is happiness-the satisfaction of
the vital impulse, the rhythm of the
inward life, the melody of a heart that
has found it's keynote. To say that
all men long for this is simply to con.
fess that all men are human, and that
their thoughts and feelings are an es.
sential part of their life. Virtue means
completed manhood. The joyful
welfare Of the soul belongs to the full.
ness of that ideal Holiness is whole
some. In striving to realize the true
aim Of our being, we find the wish for
happiness implanted In the very heart
Of our effort.-Henry van Dyke, D. d.

SYNOPSIS.

Darlington loved Kate Cavenaugh,
daughter of Multi-Mlllionaire Henry Cav
enaugh The latter liked Darlington, but
refused him as a son-in-law. Young Car
rington, a lawyer, held evidence of Grim
inal financial operations, of which Cave
naugh was guilty. IL was Carrington's
duty to prosecute the rich man, but he
decided to lay the whole matter before
Kate. He did so the next day The young
would be cowardy even though the ac-
cused was her father. Cavenaugh offered
Darlington a position at $4,000 a year.
He refused it. He hid his evidence in the
Cayenaugh safe, after being introduced
to the millionaire's father. The evidence
was stolen that night Kate's sister

The Sins Of Manassas

Scriptural Authority. q Chron.,
chapter 33 and Apocryphal Book Of
Manassas Prayer.
Manasseh.-Or Manassas. as the name
is given in the prayer of Manassas which
constitutes the twelfth book of the
Apocrypha, was noted in Jewish history
not only as having the longest reign Of
any monarch OF the line of David, but
also as the most wicked, and although
we have the record of his repentance and
restoration by God to Jerusalem, Ire was
not buried In the sepulchers Of the kings
but like Ahaz was buried in the garden
of Uzza and his name held in abhor-
renee because Of the blactness of his
deeds, among the recorded sins being the
awful wickedness of giving hrs sons as
an offering to the fire god Molooh. The
record of his life is found in the 33rd
chapter Of Second Chronicles and in 2
Kings. Idolatrous worship and prac-
tees were encouraged. The fires were
rekindled in the valley Of Ben-Hlnnom
The Baaf and Ashtaroth ritual, which
had been imported under Solomon from
the Phoenicians, was revived with fresh
splendor. All this was accompanied by
the EXTREMIST moral degradation. Every
faith was tolerated but the old faith Of
Israel.

Cavenaugh released one Of his fists;
Il fell upon the table and ratified
things generally.
"Am in my own house?" he
bawled.

suavely. You've got to behave your
self. Now, then, let us repair to the
secret chamber of finance. 1t is the

Mrs. Cavenaugh was gently weep
ing. The dread moment had come,
come when she had been lulled into
the belief that It would never come.
Kate understood, and longed to go to
her and comfort her; and she trem-
bled for her father, who knew moth
ing OF the pit that lay at his feet. Car
rington dallied with his fork; he
wished he we're anywhere in the world
but at the Cavenaugh table. The de-
sire to laugh recurred to him, but he
realized that the inclination was only
hysterical.
Cavenaugh was already heading for
the study. He was in a fine rage
Grandpa was close on his heels. AT
the threshold he turned once more to
Darlington.
"You know your Tempest young

The door closed behind them, and
father and son faced each other.

'I know nothing whatever, save that

Grandpa helped himself to a cigar
and sat down. He puffed two or three
times, eyed the lighted end and sighed
with satisfaction.
''If you but knew what they were
about, these papers, you would pay {
cool million for their possession. Ny
word, 1t is a droll situation; reads like

At a meeting of the state board Of
immigration organization was per.
fected by the election of the follow

chairman; Christopher Manson of Pu-
laski county, secretary, and Thomas

ters have not yet been selected, but
five cities are bidding for them. They
are Kansas City, St. Louis, st. Joseph,
Springfield 2nd Cape Girardeau. Until
final selection is made, the office
of the commission will be in St. Louis.
Attorney General Major has ruled
that the commission, under the pro-
vision contained in the bill creating
it. requiring the confirmation by the
senate of the commissioners before
they have a legal status, can not draw
any of the S25,O0O appropriated for
it's support. AS the next senate does
not meet for nearly a year and
half, the effect of this ruiing would be
to practically nullify the commission,
The commissioners insist that n
broader construction should be placed
upon the act than this, and are pro-
ceeding accordingly. 1t is apparent,
however, that they will not be able
to draw any money from the state
treasury, unless the matter is decid.
ed in their favor by the supreme
court, as both the treasurer and the
auditor will have to abide by the rul-
ing of the attorney general, he being.
under the constitution, their legal ad-
wiser.
The unfortunate phraseology of the
law is very likely to make the com
mission nominal one until the next
legislature meets.
