How had this leper probably learned
that Jesus had power to heal him.
Did Jesus desire that this leper
should never tell who had healed him,
or that he should tell the priest first,
ind then get his cure officially recog-
nized before telling any other person!
If God wills he can do anything, but
to how many Of our requests may we be
certain that He will say 81 will?"
What prompted Jesus to grant the
request and heal this leper!
Verse What was the position of a
centuran, and if he had been some OBJ
scure person. would Jesus have treated
him Just as courteously?
Verses 6, What benefit is it to US,
today, to bring our sick ones to Jesues: !:
So far as the records show, Jesus
while in the flesh. healed all the sick
ones that were brought to him, Is that
sufficient to prove that he will do the
same todayy

body and makes your life an inferno.
Sleep is out of the question and you
feel as If million mosquitoes were
attacking you at the same time. |
knew a dozen families that were so
affected.
1.-THE doctors did their best, but
their remedies were of no avail what
ever. Then the families tried a drug
gist who was noted far and wide for
his remarkable cures. People came
to him from all parts of the country
for treatment, but his medicine made
matters still worse; as a last resort
they were advised by friend to use
the Cuticura Remedies. am glad to
tell you that after few days treat
ment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Resolvent, the effect was wonder
full and the result was perfect cure
in all cases.

Through decree of the Minister

Joy greatly enlarged choice of occu-

and industries which they can now
enter upon are artistic leather work

Hitherto women have been rigidly
excluded from these trade schools,
and those who desired to obtain such
training were compelled either to go
abroad or else attend expensive pri-

LOUISVILLE BANK is
LOOTED OF sl,4O,OOO
Secretary Loses Entire Surplus of
Fidelity Trust Co. in Speculation.
CASE sTRANGEsT IN HISTORY
August Ropke Tore Up Checks--De-
faulter Covered Up Thefts For
Ten Years by Destroying Clear
ing House Returns.


Louisville, Ky,-As a result of the
examination of the books bf August
Ropke, the defaulting assistant secre-
tary of the Fidelity Trust Company,
of this city, at meeting held by the
stockholders of the company it was
reported by experts from Chicago
that the entire surplus Of the COM
pany, $1,140,000, had been used by
Ropke.
AS there are several, millions of
dollars behind the bank, the Fidelity
will not have to close it's doors, al
though the shortage of Ropke is one
of the largest that has ever been
known in the South The stockhold-
ers provided for the issue of 81 ,000,-
600 additional stock.
When Ropke was placed under ar
rest it was feared there would be a
run on the bank, but instead the de-
positors stood by the bank, and there
has been an actual increase in de-
posits since that time. The Bell Tel
ephone Company sent a deposit of
100000 several days ago, and other
large sums have been deposited.
The shortage of Ropke is consid-
cred to be the most remarkable one
in the history of banks, as he man
aged to take the money of the bank,
year in and year out, for a decade
without being caught. The books
we're examined at times, but Ropke
was on hand to aid in the checking
and in this manner STAYED off discov-
cry until he had used every dollar Of
the surplus fund
The manner in which Ropke man
aged to rob the bank of so large an
amount was discussed by the stock
holders at their meeting. That the
Clearing House system he used made
it possible is the opinion Of the ex-
perts who are at work on the books
of the bank. He would give check
on the Fidelity Trust Company, which
he would turn over to his broker, and
|. when the check was returned to the
Fidelity through the Clearing House
he would tear it up, thereby hiding
his theft.
