TORE HIS SKIN OFF
In Shreds-ltchng Was intense
 Sleep Was Often Impossible.
Cured by cuticura in Three Weeks.

Cureo py Cutlcura m hree weeks.
 At first an eruption of small pus- jules commenced on my hands. These spread later to other parts of my body, and the itching at times was intense, so much so that I literally tore the skin off in shreds in seeking relief. The awful itching interfered with my work considerably, and also kept me awake nights. l tried several doc tors and used a number of different ointments and lotions but received practically no benefit. Finally I set tied down to the use of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills, with the result that in a few days all itching had ceased and in about three weeks time all traces of my eruption had disappeared. have had no trou- ble of this kind since.

Waiting to De Eaten ALue

In half an hour the rain ceased and the heavens began to clear, but the thunder and lightning were still busy, and I was afraid to trust myself under the tree. I was just getting ready to unroll, however, congratulating myself on not being wet through, when out of the darkness beyond the end of the blankets came an ear-splitting yell.
 Twice more sounded the cry. and twice more I refused to listen to it's call. It seemed to be coming nearer, though would have sworn that it had it's nose under my feet when it yelled the first time. Again the shriek: this time so near that thought the blankets vibrated in sympathy, mo- ment later discovering. however. that my knees were responsible for the lat ter phenomenon. Then for several minutes I waited and trembled. I wondered if he would begin at my feet and eat me up by inches, or merciful- ly kill me at once by beginning at my head. At last my ears, strained to catch the lightest sound, detected his step as the cushioned feet, one after the other, were drawn from the sticky mud. Then he crept into my range of vision. Thank heaven, it will be the head!" I thought, and waited for him to begin. I could scarcely make out the outline of the body, so that the fiery, vitreous eyes seemed moving all alone. Now they gleamed on my right, still moving around the bun dle in circle. Now they disappeared beyond my horizon of blanket. and I realized that, after all, the worst was to happen. I was to be eaten from the feet upward Then the over wrought nerves gave way and the whole chestful of air I had been hold. ing for so long went ripping out through my tense vocal cords in one wild yell.
 As if in answer to my cry. I heard some one breaking through the under. brush at top speed, and my heart beat high with hope. Then I perceived that the sounds were retreating. My pre- server had seen the jaguar and turned back. All felt in the next ten min utes is beyond words to describe, but at length, treasured by the silence. I rolled out of the blankets to find my. self alone.

As the Boy Saw the iesson.

Prof. Charles Zeublin of the Univer- sity of Chicago was discussing at a dinner the greatest paintings of the world
 "The legends that are beautiful and immortal" he said, have in them turths that we all, according to our kind, take home This is true in likeness of immortal works of art pictures, poems, songs. For different people they have different messages, For instance, in my native Pendleton some of the mothers used to cut the childrens hair. They did it with shears and a bowl. The operation was often painful, and the result was never elegant.
 Tn Sunday school Pendleton teacher once told her pupils the trag- ic story of Samson and Deliah. Then sine turned to a little boy:
 What do you learn, Joe she said, from the Samson story?'

Iron Ore Fields In Finland.

Though Finland has been regarded up to the present time as being ex. tremely poor in iron ores, recent re- search has proved the existence of ore fields in South Finland (Nyland) and above all In the Ladoga lake district, which seem to be worth the expense of mining. For research purposes a company has been formed.

in the climate of Kansas and that OF

here are more severe, while the scorch-

Death of Mrs. Belcher.

Mrs. Ann Belcher, aged rs years, died
at her home near Breyard's Crossing,
this county, Monday morning, Nov. 20,
1909 at IL O'Clock.
Mrs. Belcher was native of Middle
Tennessee, but a resident of Obion
County since girlhood. She was sis,
ter OF Attorney VIM. Mccall, of Hum1
boldt, and of the late Hezry Mccall, Of
this city. She leaves sister, Mrs. Hol-
land, of Lebanon, and four children,
Mrs. Bud Noah, Mrs. Flournoy Moss,
Thomas and Joe.
Mrs. Belcher was a member OF the
Christian Church. She was more than
that, good woman, and in the esteem
of her neighbors one of the noblest
characters of any community or peo-
pie, Not a case of sickness that she
did not administer, not pillow that
her hand did not smooth and rest an
aching, tired head or FESTIVE, wasted
form. The consciousness, the intuition
of motherly care, she deyined every
craving appeal for relief and succor, and
her heart went out to these souls i'll dis
tress. Her words were comfort and
her dispensations balm. In every good
work, in charity and in all that lifts life
and character above the ordinary human
sphere Mrs. Belcher was indeed notable
inspiration. She was not only esteemed
everywhere, but loved by those who
knew her we'll.
The life of such woman cannot but
leave its incense of Goodness and sweet
ness upon the world, and upon those
linked with the ties of filial attachment
memory of all that is dear.
The remains were taken to Salem for
burial Tuesday morning, and there serv-
ices were held, conducted by Rev. New
