ECZEMA IN RED BLOTCHES

2O5 Kanter Ave, Detroit, Mich
Some time last summer I was taken
with eczema. It began in my hair
first with red blotches, then scaly,
spreading to my face. The blotches
were red on my face, dry and scaly,
not large; on my scalp they were
larger, some scabby. They came on
my hands. The inside Of my hands
were all little Jumps as though full Of
shot about one-sfxteenth Of an inch
under the skin. Then they went to
the outside and between and all over
my fingers. It also began on the bot
toms of my feet and the calves Of my
legs, and itch, oh, my! I never had
anything like it and hoIR I never will
again. The itching was terrible. Ny
hands got SO could scarcely work.
Il tried different eczema ointments
but without results. I also took medi-
cine for it but it did no good. I saw
the advertisement for sample Of
Cuticura Ointment and Soap and sent
for one. They did me so much good
/ bought some more, using them as
per directions, and in about three
weeks was well again. Cuticura Soap
and Ointment entirely cured me-"

The horror Of it! With HaveIock
barely a score of miles away
Scattered like chaf before the wind,
the followers Of Mana dispersed be
fore the onslaught Of the avengers;
and upon the afternoon following the
battle, the negro Hall and q group Of
his bIuejacket shipmates heard the
horrible story as related above, from
the lips Of a half-caste woman CON
vert who spoke English huently. Hall
and his friends gazed upon the floor
Of the death-chamber, fully two
inches deep with blood and gore and
tufts of hair. They noted tulwar
gashes in the walls the height of a
woman's neck Then they turned
away, sick at heart, but swore to be
avenged.
Forty-fve miles away another des-
perate siege was being conducted. At
Lucknow, one Of the most beautiful
cities in India, a handful Of English
men were holding out against the

them in on every side.
Ravelock set out for Lucknow with
the greater part of his force, leaving
Cawnpore in charge of Colonel NELL.
Among others left behind under NELL
were Hall and some of his shipmates.
Quite naturally they were furious at
not being permitted to accompany the
nrst relief, but it was necessary to
leave suns and men to hold Gavin
pore
They relieved the monotony of their
situation and vented a part of their
pent-up vengeance by forcing num-

Residency at Lucknow in due time,
after having been obliged to fall back
upon Cawnpore by reason of the ex-
IRENE heat and the dreaded cholera.
The gallant Neill was with him when
he finally succeeded in cutting his way
into Lucknow, but the negro Hall and
other bluejackets were not present.
Their opportunity was to come later.
Havelock and his men, though
strong enough to reinforce the besieg-
ed troops in Lucknow and save the
English garrison from destruction,
were not strong enough to cut their
way to safety, hampered with women
and children and wounded amounting
to 1900 souls. Thus the, siege con-
tinued upon a larger scale.
Meanwhile, Sir Colin Campbell had
arrived in India He was to assume
the chief command of the forces in
India, and his first task was to rescue
the garrison at Lucknow. Upon the
9th Of November he led an army of
five thousand men and thirty guns out
of Cawnpore, and among these was
the naval brigade under William
Peel.
The Sikandarbagh, a formidable
looking structure about 100 yards
square and surrounded by a thick
brick wall about twenty feet high, was
the first nut to crack before Lucknow
could be relieved. It sheltered up
ward of two thousand well-armed Sc
poys. who poured a CALLING fire into
the English from the fiat roof of a
pavilion on top OF the structure.
Little could be done until a breach
had been made in the wall, so the in
fantry lay down and sheltered them
selves as best they could while the
men of the naval brigade dragged
their guns up under the wall Across
the deadly zone of bare ground the
negro and his shipmates dragged their
guns as coolly as if laying alongside
an ~enemy's frigate. Man after man
dropped under the cruel fire until
each gun was short-handed.
Once up under the wall, the gallant
men We're in a measure protected, but
as the 24pounders kicked back after
each discharge, it became necessary
for the men to enter the danger zone
to drag them back into position At
each Tecoil the Sepoys concentrated
their fire upon the little detachment,
and each discharge cost 2 human life.
Encouraging his shipmates by his
fearless example, the negro was al
ways the first man to dart out Of the

He called upon them TO remember the
bloody room at Cawnpore. He seemed
70 bear a charmed life
After an hours perilous work, dur
ing which the detachment Of bluejack-
cts was all but wiped out, the q
Founders succeeded in hammering a
hole in the wall about three feet
square. A bugle call sounded. The
infantrymen sprang to their feet and
rushed at the little hole in spite Of
the fact that certain death awaited
the foremost.
The enemy, having been driven out
Of the courtyard by the intrepid Eng
lish aided by the loyal native troops,
made for the gateway Of the main
structure. As they attempted to close
the heavy doors behind them, a Pun
jabi Mohammedan, Mukarrab Khan by
name, thrust his left arm between
them. AS a tulwar nearly severed his
hand at the wrist, he withdrew the
wounded arm and Immediately thrust
in the other!
By this time, other men had reached
the spot and torn the doors open. For
this brave act, Mukarrab Khan was
decorated with the Order of Merit,
the Indian equivalent of the Victoria
Cross.
Meanwhile other serious work had
been cut out for William Hall and the
other bluejackets, for a thousand
yards away, in the direction of the Resi-
dency, Ioomed the frowning outlines
Of the Shah Najaf, a white-dOmed
tomb, surrounded by high walls of
solid masonry. While the Highland
ers tore off the roofs Of the surround
ing huts and drove the Sepoys before
them like sheep, other troops were re
membering Cawnpore'' while attending
to the enemy in the Sikandarbagh, and
the naval detachment dragged their
guns into position before the Shah
Najaf
A solid shot from the enemy struck
a naval ammunition wagon, exploding

Habit TO Be Avoided.

The habit Of ridiculing everything
and everybody is one that every WON
an should avoid. We always find in
others what We look for. It is such a
mistake to cultivate the habit of look
Ing for the grotesque or the ridicu-
lous. 1t makes ones face on such
hard, unpleasant, cynical lines. There
are those persons to whom one breads
to introduce ones friends, for one is
sure these friends will come under
the merciless and scorching light of
ridicule. The worst of it is, these IN
fair, self-appointed critics are usually
more open to ridicule themselves than
their victims.

its contents. Hall, with the blood
streaming down his face where a piece
Of shell had grazed him, stood by his
gun and urged his fellow bluejackets
on by word and deed.
Throughout the long afternoon the
men hammered away at the twenty
foot wall. Gun after gun was aban-
doned as their crews were shot down,
but the negro hero was game to the
last. Shortly before dark the com
mandeT gave the order to collect the
killed and wounded and retire for the
night, but Hall had to be peremptor7
lily ordered to retire by his superior
before he obeyed.
Meanwhile, Lieutenant Salmon of
the naval brigade had climbed a tree
and discovered a small aperture in
the wall. The enemy saw him and
Volleyed at him. Badly wounded. he
fell into the arms of his men and re-
ported what he had seen. For this
brave act he was rewarded with q
Victoria Cross.
The English were quick to take ad-
vantage of the information, and among
the first men to rush the breach was
William Hall, wounded, but hacking
right and lift with his cutIass. Early
upon the following morning, the Resi-
dency was relieved and a second mass
acre averted.
In due time, Hall received his Vic
tOria Cross, as both his commanding
officers and shipmates were agreed
that his gallantry had been the most
conspicuous event Of a day memorable
for its many brave actions.
Hall lived to take part in the hon.

story Of his own experience:
Once while travelling through my

great amount of waste that was going
on about me. During the afternoon l
went into the dining car which was
crowded, SO I sat down near one end
Of the car, opposite a fieshy lady,
who, 1 thought, weighed at least $50
pounds
AS I looked past the lady through
the car window, not noticing her par
ticularly I was impressed by the vast
amount of farm machinery that was
unsheltered and exposed to the wealth

Andrew Lipscomb, who practices
law before the courts of Maryland,
was trying his first case before
judge named Merrick. Lipscomb,
wishing to impress the judge, was, in
the language of the bar, right lippy
in his remarks to the eminent gentle
man. Finally, Merrick lost patience
and exclaimed.
Sit down! Sit down, sir! If you
don't sit down I'll fine you for con-
tempt of court
Lipscomb sat down, but turned to a
young lawyer beside him, and re-
marked, in an undertone:
That's the crustiest, most opinion
ated old Judge I ever saw. III show
him where he gets off. He's an old
