In spite OF the saying that no man

tial account OF his master from MS
own point Of view, and now, simulta-
neously, there appear a life OF KING
Edward by his chauffeur and a book
about Cecil Rhodes by one Of his sew

was not a history maker in the &C

peacemaker, and the story of his life
Is anecdotal rather than epic. That

WATERY BLISTERS ON FACE

Smithville, Ind.-"Six months ago
our baby girl, one year old, had q few
red pimples come on her face which
gradually spread causing her face to
become very irritated and a fiery red
color. The pimples on the child's face
we're at first small watery blisters, just
O small blotch on the skin. She kept
scratching at this until in a few days
her whole cheeks were fiery red color
and instead of the little blisters the
skin was cracked and scaly looking
and seemed to itch and burn very
much.
I'VE used a number OF remedies
which seemed to give relief for a short
time then leave her face worse than
ever. Finally we got a cake Of Cuti-
cura Soap and a box Of Cuticura Oint-
ment. l washed the child's face with
very warm water and Cuticura Soap,
then applied the Cuticura Ointment
very lightly. After doing this about
three times a day the itching and
burning seemed entirely gone in two
days time. Inside Of two weeks time
her face seemed well. That was eight
months ago and there has been no re-
turn Of the trouble" (Signed) Mrs.
A. X. Wooden, Nov. 4, 1912.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold
throughout the world. Sample Of each

months ago"
But what I've got to find out is
this: Am | in a position to hold out
against the trust for a bigger price J?
You see, a friend OF mine advises me
to hold out. Is business good, right
now"
why. yes. We did over hundred
and twenty thousand dollars last
month"
This was exciting news. and It ex'
cited him. "A hundred and twenty
thousand dollars worth Of business
last month! Can I go down to the
bank and get that money now?"
She laughed at his commercial igno'
rance. why, certainly mott"
For an instant his heart sank as he
contemplated saying what he felt that
he must say. sank doubly deep be-
cause he felt that the confession he
must make might possibly disturb the
good opinion OF him which he hoped
he had renewed in her peculiarly lucid
mind But there was something in her
eyes that gave him confidence. And
there was nothing for 1t but confes'
sion.
You don't understand" he ventured
stumblingly. This is-er-between
us. The fact is-I'm broke! l am in
debt! must get some quick money
and I want to know how much you
have in bank, right now"
Our cash balance?"
YES"
She thought deeply for a moment.
Then she looked up with smile Of
triumph. "Over eighteen thousand
dollars, l should say"
He was dismayed. "Only eighteen
thousand dollars! And you did a
business OF a hundred and twenty
thousand dollars last MONTH"
His manner worried her. II hope
you're not thinking seriously OF going
over"
Going over where?"
TO the trust"
why? Don't you think the price
they offer is big enough?"
1T isn't a question Of price, Mr.
Jones'" she said, with flashing eyes,
its the principle of the thing"
You'll have to explain that to me-"
why, think of what you're selling!"
she exclaimed. 1T is the thing your
grandfather worked for and handed
down to your father; the thing that
he worked for and handed down to
you; the thing that you should work
for and hand down to your children,

He thought they might be coming now.

Nothing but the thought Of Josie

his worthy resolutions to the winds,
selling to the trust and searching out
Bible upon which to swear that he
never again would set foot in Jones
