One more savage thrust, and the dis

claws rang and tore on the re-

angry jaws and terrible eyes filled the
narrow mouth of the reservoir; but all
in vain. Then the boy retaliated with
the only weapon at hand-a box Of
matches. One of these he lit when the
great claw again sought for HIS life,
and, watching his opportunity, dropped
it on the shaggy paw. There was a

Miss Marjorie, aged five years, is
one Of those bright children who make
the lives of their parents and teach

her return home she grew enthusi-

her to attend the school regularly.

sweetly. ."And the teacher, Miss Lee,

IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA.
Whole Body a Mass of Raw, Bleeding,
Torturing Humor- Hoped Death
Would End Fearful Suffering.
In Despair; Cured by cuticura.

words cannot describe tie terrible
eczema l suffered with. 1t broke out
on my head and kept spreading until
it covered my whole body. l
was almost a solid mass of sores from
head to foot. I looked more like a
piece of raw beef than a human be-
ing. The pain and agony endured
seemed more than l could bear. Blood
and pus oozed from the great sore on
my scalp, from under my finger nails,
and nearly all owe my body. My
ears were so crusted and swollen 1
was afraid they would break off.
Every hair in my head fell out. 1
could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh, making me cry out from the
pain. My family doctor did all he
could, but I got worse and worse. My
condition was awful. / did not think
l could live, and wanted death to
come and end my frightful sufferings.
In this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem
edies. I said I would, but had no hope
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 l had had in weeks. 1t
was as grateful as ice to a burning
tongue. l would battle with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. I also took Cuti-
cura R~esolvent for the blood. In a
short time the sores stopped running,
the flesh began to heal, and / knew l
was to get we'll again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in a
short time I was completely cured.
I wish I could tell everybody who has
eczema to use Cuticura. Mrs. VIM.

At a station, said to be Ma

a lion, who chased the young hero as
a cat does a mouse, while the hunted
fugitive, like the mouse, sought for
some perch to climb, or hole into
which the big cat could not follow
him. lust as the lion was close at
his heels, the boy came upon an empty
iron water reservoir with a compare
lively small aperture, into which he
bolted, just in time to hear the lions
last leap thump against his iron
fortress. Then, growing angrily at
his discontinue, the monster man
eater reached in one of his terrible
paws, intending to pick the boy out
of his iron shell as one extracts the
meat from a nut. The boy drew him
self up in the furthest corner as the
distended claws scraped ~fiercely on
the iron plato, and the beast, frantic
with rage and hunger, turned side

~Hodgenville, Ky.-The corner stone
of the splendid memorial to be erected
to the memory of Abraham Lincoln
was laid by President Roosevelt. The
exercises were participated in by many
OF the nations leading men, Cardinal
Gibbons and ex-Gov. Folk Of Missouri
being among those who made ad-
dresses.
From all points, by train and over
roads not particularly smooth at this
season of the year, the people gathered
to the exercises. A building four
times the size of the ten provided
could not have accommodated the
crowd.
The corner stone of the Memorial
hall was laid by President Roosevelt.
In an impressive address the chief ex-
ecutive ~eulogized the life and work of
the great statesman. He spoke as fol-

poorest of the frontier folk, whose rise
was by weary and painful labor, lived to
lead his people through the burning
flames of a struggle from which the ma
ton emerged, purified as by fire, born
anew to a loftier life. After long years
of iron effort, and of failure that came
more often thar victory, he at last rose
TO the leadership of the republic at the
moment when that leadership had become
the stupendous world-task of the time.
He grew to know greatness, but never
ease. Success came to him. but never
happiness. save that which springs from
doing well a painful and a vital task.
Power was his, but not pleasure. The
burrows deepened on his brow, but his
eyes were undimmed by either hate or
fear. His gaunt shoulders were bowed,
but his steel. thews never faltered as he
bore for a burden the destinies of his
people. His great and tender heart
