RASH ON FACE FOR 2 YEARS

Sioux Falls, S. D.-'eMy trouble of
skin disease started merely as a rash
ON my face and neck, but it grew and
kept getting worse until large scabs
would form, tester and break. This
was just on the one side of my face,
but it soon scattered to the other
side. 1 suffered a great deal, especial
ly at night, on account of its itching
and burning. 1 would scratch it and
of course that irritated it very mucn.
This rash was on my face for about
two years, sometimes breaking out
lots worse and forming larger sores.
1t kept me from sleeping day or night
for a couple of months. My face look
ed disgracefuI and was almost
ashamed to be seen by my friends.
"a friend asked me to try Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I would
battle my face with hot water and a
lot of Cuticura Soap, then would put
on the Cuticura Ointment. In less
than two days time, the soreness and
Inflammation had almost entirely dis
appeared, and in four weeks time you
could not see any Of the rash. Now
my face is without spot of any kind.
/ also use them for my scalp and hair.
They cured me completely" (Signed)

HIS MISSING FORTUNE
Its Hiding Place Brought to Light
Through a Kind
Act.
BY FLORENCE L. HENDERSON.

Because John Davis was hungry and
had to work, and because a big wind
storm had blown down some barns and
fences and nearly half the trees in
Chenille, thereby offering that individ-
ual an opportunity to labor, sunshine
came suddenly into the life of pretty,
patient Ethel Moore.
She needed it, poor girl, and more
than deserved it, if ever loving, help
full daughter and a true and earnest
sweetheart did Ever since her mother
had died Ethel had led hard, slave
like existence. They had not always
lived at Chenille. 1t was the lure of
change and a fortune that had induced
William Moore, her father, to abandon
a fairly prosperous store business in a
city fifty miles distant, TO fill out, as he
anticipated, the glowing dream of his
life. He had always, longed for farm,
and when he was wired urgently to
the bedside of his dying brother, Rob
ert, he felt certain that at last the COW
eted acme of his ambition was in sight.
Robert Moore, reputed rich man,
died before his brother reached him.
In his will he left William everything
When everything" was materialized
into coherency, to the surprise of his
neighbors and the bitter disappoint-
ment of the 1egatee. the estate COM
prised only the old home, with its
weather-beaten porch and boarded-up
cupola, dreary and gloomy in the ex-
treme.
The place will do to live in" mood
lily decided William Moore, but what
has ever become of the stocks and
bonds and money everybody knew my
brother had six months before he
died?"
That was stin a question unsettled
two years after the Moores had taken
up their abode at the great, rambling

long have hoped and long have dared.
I've done my best along the way
On which undaunted 1 have Jared
Pursuing fortune day by day;
And here and there have chahced to be
Good men and worthy women, too,
Whose praise has sounded sweet to me
And kept my spirit proudly true;
Some fair rewards have been my own
I've never laid corner stone.
1 long have been pursuing fame,
My wish has been to prove my worth,
So that the people might proclaim
My greatness over all the earth;
I've longed to hear the public cheer
Because had grown great and wise,
And fame has oft seemed very near,
But soberly I realize
That greatness cannot be my own
Till
They've let me lay a corner stone
With constant courage in my breast
I'll journey onward well or i'll,
At every task I'll do my best,
And in defeat hope bravely still;
The praise 1 win shall make me strong,
The sneers shall keep my purpose true;
With what small gifts to me belong
IN be among the worthy few,
And know that greatness is my own
When
At last I've laid a corner stone.

old days of affiuence. A dollar now
was of vast value She had intended
to buy some lace to the extent of just
the amount her pensioner named to
trim up last years hat
Very well, Mr.. Davis she agreed
after a moment or two of wavering
thought 1T isn't much to pay,
though"
It's a lot to me- sighed Davis,
thinking of the hungry mouths at
home. You'll get blessing for this"
he added, poking a stray tear from his
eye. Il know that ready money isn't
over plentiful with you, and that is
why 1 appreciate the work the more"
Ethel went into the house with
thoughts of the struggling brood of
children of John Davis in her mind.
She remembered an old trunk in the
attic filed with odds and ends, and
wondered if she would be likely to find
anything of service to the Davis house
hold.
Several old garments, she discov-
cred, might be utilized. She was kneel
ing by the trunk, engrossed in her
task, when a most unearthly hubbub
drove her to her feet with a shock.
There was a loud cracking crash
and the plaster rained down. Then
some object of Earring volume ap-
peared to sweep the slanting roof thun-
derousIy- She heard cry, second
crash, then another cry.
''Oh, deari what can have hap
pened?" gasped Ethel breathlessly.
She ran down the stairs as fast as
she could. Her first thought was of
her father. She glanced into the sit
tir,c rom Ia NOT Then
as she dashed outside, she saw him
standing in the garden, waving his
arms frantically.
You've ruined the looks of the
housed" he was storming at John
Davis.
The latter sat on the ground staring
vacantly at mass of wreckage near
by. 1t was the shattered remnants of
the old cupola.
Its good thing I lodged he OBJ
served. when 1 sawed that big limb
it just swept that old cupola off the top
of the house clean as a whistle.
Sorry, Mr.. Moore, but honestly, it was
so battered and wobbly the house
looks better without it."
81 think so myself" remarked Ethel,
immensely relieved to find no one
seriously injured. Are you hurt, Mr..
Davis?'' she inquired solicitously.
'Oh, no-slid only a few feet with
the limb" answered Davis. I'll get
the truck out of the way right off. The
cupola will make good kindling.'
Mr.. Moore advanced to where the
ruins of the cupola lay. He poked the
shattered boards around with his cane.
Then Ethel heard him utter a strange
cry. She ran towards him as he stoop-
ed over and picked something up
1t was a tin box. Her father lifted
It's catch, threw back the cover and
nearly fell over as a great conviction
illumined his mind.
Quick, daughter!" he painted, "Pa-
pers-and money! If it should be my
brothers missing fortune at last"
1t was, at last and in full The hid
ing place of the missing fortune had
come to light through Ethel Moore's
kind deed. 1t meant so much to Will
liam Moore that he seemed to grow
younger in an hour. He sent John
Davis home feeling rich, and he told
Archie and Ethel that evening that
they might arrange to have the old
homestead renovated for a wedding.

MANY Plants "LeftHanded.y

Habits of plants analogous to the
rfght-handedness and left-handedness
of man have been reported to the
Cambridge, England, Philosophical
society by r. H. Compton.
In an examination of eight varieties
of two-rowed barley the first leaf was
found to twist to the left in So per
cent of more than 10000 seedlings,
and an excess of left-handed growth
was found also in millet and in oats.
In corn there seemed to be no mark

of hereditary popularity appears to
have been obtained and no special
significance of the results is pointed
