 WILLIS RELATIVES
Undertaken RncbcI Also Wants Pay For Caskct Furnished for Man Killed by W. '. Ellis.

Little Rock, Dee. 13.-NeXt Satur- day there will come up ill the circuit court, Second Division, one of the most interesting cases which has been tried in any local court for years first on account of the opposing at torneys and second on account of the suit itself

SERVANT IN THE
 HOUSE" COMING
What Harper'S Weekly Has to Say of
 This Seasons Artistic Success.

One of the chief reasons why Chas. Ram Kennedys famous play, "The Servant in the House." has proven such a popular as we'll as artistic suc- cess is that the author has not hesi- tated to employ comedy in liberal quantities in the development of his beautiful story. Commenting on this fact, Harpers Weekly says:
 The marvel, too, is that MT. Ken nedy's play is not solemn at all, eX- cept in aftermath. Laughter leaps in it, and the mind kindles to it's delight. The author seems to have joined hands with humor, satire and irony, and to have caught the flying glance of the comic spirit which George Meredith says is abiding overhead and looking down upon us with a con- temptation humanely malign. It is easy to picture the author of "The Servant in the House" looking upon an audience at his own play-seeing wrong place, Or pretend in vanity to understand in his own vision mean while what Meredith calls the sunny malice of d faun. All this is differ ent from the recent pessimistc read ing of life which lbsen, for example, has made familiar The Master-Build CT dreamed of building homes with high towers on them and the end was human fragments. Mary dreamed of finding a father who should be brave and beautiful and good. and the end was a human being in the likeness of his God. Perhaps We are beginning to have done with destruction. Nobody, least of all the author, pulled down the Wears house to repair that drain. The Servant in the House assumes the responsibility for the assertion that if you only wish very, very hard and help to spin the fairy tale-ev- erything comes true. Only few may believe it. but work like this has at least made belief easier

LOGICAL ECZEMA CURE
ENDORSED BY PHYSICIANS

After treating eczema for years as a
incurable blood disease, the
medical world is greatly interested in
the discovery that it is not a blood
disease az all, but is due TO a parasite
in the skin itself This parasite is
easily destroyed by the external APP
plication of compound Of oil of win
tergreen, thymol, glycerine. etc. This
will quickly kill all eczema germs.
while soothing and refreshing the skin.
Dr. r. A. Folkerts. of Duluth. Minn.,
tells OF the success in treating pa
tients:
There was a man here suffering
from eczema for the last fourteen
years. and | applied the ID. ID. d. treat
ment also applied il 10 a man Of
West Duluth. Mimi. who has been
suffering with Rheumatism for four
teen years, and Eczema in his feet. and
the second treatment in both cases
cleared the skin almost absolutely. The
first application is a balm, and its
soothing effect is beyond expression.
i shall never be without H. and shall
use it among my patients altogether"
No matter how terribly you suffer
from eczema. salt rheum. ringworm.
etc. you will feel instantly soothed and
the itch allayed at once when a few
drops of this oil Of wintergreen COM
pound Is applied. The cures all seem
10 be permanent.

JAcoeYs BIG SALE.
Many Shoppers Attending Department
Store "Clean Up" Sale.

one of the most interesting and bus
lest places in the city is the Jacoby
Department Store. 224-226 Market
street, where an elaborate mid winter
clean up" sale is in progress. The
big establishment was filled with shop
pers today, who found in the brooms
and whisks and other symbols placed
about the store, emblems Of the sale.
The goods are most attractively dis
played and are arranged so that shop
pers charmed with the finery OF spring,
can examine them at their leisure. The
sale will last for Il days. An immense
amount of goods is offered at prices
never before placed before the public.
All the offerings are legitimate bar
gains. The name of the sale is mis-
leading in that il is really not a
clean up" sale, but a remarkably good
Offering Of seasonable goods. such as
spring waists. hosiery and tailored
suits. The show windows are filed
with attractive displays. The chief dis
play of goods is on the main floor
where mems. women's and children's
wear is shown in many attractive
forms.
Extra help has been engaged for the
sale and shoppers receive prompt at
tention. Trade this year has set in
early, and business thus far has been
fully up to expectation, so it is ex-
pected that the sale will be very
largely patronized. For this reason
early shopping will be a good rule TO
be observed by those who desire 10
get the best offered at this sale.
