ERUPTION DlSFIGURED FACE

Lock Box So, Maurice, Ia.-"In the
spring of 1911 our little daughter, age
five years, had breaking out on her
lip and part of her cheek that we
took for ringworm. 1t resembled a
large lingworm, only it differed in
that it was covered with watery bis
tiers that itched and burned terribly.
made worse by her scratching it.
Then the blisters would break through
and let out watery substance. She
was very cross and fretful while she
had it and had very little rest at
night. When the eruption was at its
worst the teacher of the school sent
her home and would not allow her to
attend until the Disagreement Of her
face was gone.
II wrote and received a sample of
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, which
we used according to directions, and
they gave instant relief, so We bought
some more. 1t gradually grew better.
We kept on using Cuticura Soap and

the child was entirely cured"

Not at That Time.

Mrs. Van Allen Thompson, whose
entry into the country gave her much
difficulty with the customs officials,
was recounting her experiences to a

of his previous grilling, accosted him.
Have you anything TO declare,
sir?' he demanded sharply.
Furious, the old skipper glared at

it before a boy like you. You're too

How One Pastor Built Church.

Last winter one of the strong
churches of Los Angeles extended Rev.
w. II. Shelter Of Memphis, Tenn, a
call to become their pastor, and after
considering all sides of the question
he decided to accept the call, relates
the Christian Herald. So he con-
gened his official board, placed before
them his resignation and asked to
be released His board being made up
of tactful business men, and know
ing that their pastor had tried for
years to build a new church, request
ed him to hold the resignation in
allegiance for a week, which he did.
Then the board got busy, bought a
new site for a church and paid $27 900
for it and reported to the church the
following Sunday that they would
build a new church on it at once if
their pastor would consent to remain
with them. He wanted another week,
and then said to his church: Il will
stay with you if you will subscribe
$4,000 for the new church at once"
They took him at his word, and at
that service subscribed $4,000 for the
new building. It goes without saying
that his church is very happy over his
decision to stay with them.

A man was on trial before Il western
judge for horse stealing, and when it
came time for the lawyers on both
sides to tell the judge what instruc-
tons they wanted him to give to the
jury in addition TO the points covered
in his own charge, the attorney for the
defense said; Il respectfully ask your

country that it is better for SO guilty
men to escape than for one innocent
man to be found guilty Yes, that is

Come along, 752," said the head
warder cheerfully, clapping an enorm-
GUS hand upon the young mans shout
der. The chief wants to say good
bye to you"
The convict stepped out OF his cell
and followed the head warder obedi-
emily. Three years of discipline had
taught him to ask no questions, to
demand no reasons. He hardly dared
to hope that the pardon board had
granted his petition.
""Tention! Eyes front! said the
head warder mechanically, and the
convict mechanically obeyed. But the
governor stretched out his hand and
took the cOnyict's III hearty clasp.
The board Of pardons has granted
YOU your freedom. Graves" he said.

last monthly meeting. | know that
YOU will run straight in future. If you
shouldn't, remember that the dishonOr
and shame viii be mine, and it will
tie rust SO much harder for the rest of
us. Here's letter from your mother
in Mapleton, he added, handing the
missive TO the prisoner
Graves read 1t and the governor
watched him curiously. The young
fellow had impressed him fayorably
ever since he had entered the peniten-
tiary three years before to serve a
first sentence for forgery. He had
been a model prisoner; but he seemed
curiously hard. Even now he seemed
unaffected either by the letter or by
his release He folded the missive
and put it in the handkerchief pocket
of his serge tunic.
Yes, sir. Ill run straight in future, !"
he answered.
Good" answered the governor.
And my advice to you is, so home to
your mother You have about thirty
seven dollars coming to you. Go
home, face the world in your home
town, be a man and begin your life
anew. You will find people kinder
than you imagine. Good morning"

As a matter of fact. Philip Graves

orisonment he had been thoroughly
initiated into the possibilities of

would have liked to re-eStablish him

but the idea seemed laughable. His
old mother in Mapleton was doubtless
able TO exist without him; his sisters
held good positions and could take
care of her. He took the train to the
capital and spent his @oney i'll two
days of riotous living.
The second evening fSURd him pen
niless. 1t was cold and dismally wet,
and the long tramp through the dismal
suburbs had not raised his spirits. He
sat down on the sidewalk and buried
his head in his hands. That was the

Two New Ways

strew it on a very hard rock. then
watch The rabbits cum and eat the
salt, and the pepper makes EN-
sneeze 80 vilent they bump their
noses on the rock till they fall in a
swound and you step up and pop EN-
in your bag.
The other method was 10 build

snow is plenty. Now rabbits, you
must know. is mite cold blooded

pretty soon they'll drop off asleep

Why You Should Succeed

There Is a saying among the British
people that the British soldier can
be just as brave as any soldier in the
world. and be brave for 10 minutes
longer II is often that last Is min
utes that wins the battle. The begin
ming OF task may be easy 10 keep
al II will be harder: and 10 keep at
II till II is really done is the hardest
OF all
One Of the most pathetic facts in
the world Is that so many give UP be
fore they reach the end.
How can We make ourselves perse-
we're? That is the practical side Of
this subject What can We do TO
make sure that we shall not be
among those who drop out OF the
race? What can We say to others
that will help them to stay on the
course TIL the race is run?
The great thing in running a race
or doing task is to keep ones heart
on the goal II is important TO watch
ones step and TO take account of
present circumstances, and be careful
that each movement Is skilfully
made, but the thing that keeps us
successfully at the task is the pull
OF the prize at the end.
Another motive that should keep
us true is the realization that If we
slip, some one else will go down too.
