Spinning.

Like blind spinner in the sun,
tread my days
know that all the threads will run
Appointed ways;
know each day will bring its task,
And, being blind, no more ask.
do not know the use or name
Of that spin;
l only know that someone came,
And laid within
My hand the thread, and'sad +: Since you
Are blind, but one thingIyou can do"
Sometimes the threads so rough and fast
And tangled fly,
know wild storms are sweeping past,
And fear that
Shall fall but dare not try to find
A safer place, since am blind.
I know not why, but am sure
That tint and place,
In some great fabric to endure
Past time and race
My threads will have so from the first,
Though blind, I never felt accurst
think, perhaps, this trust has sprung
From one short word
Said over me when was young
So yonng, heard
1t, knowing not that Gods name signed
My brow, and sealed me his, though blind.
But whether this be seal or sign
Within, without.
1t fnattets not The bond devine
l never doubt
know he set me here, and still,
And glad, and blind wait His will;
But listen, listen, day by day.
To hear their tread
Who bear the finished web away,
And cut the thread,
And bring Gods message in the sun,
Thou poor, blind spinner, work is done"

 'The entire story has been centered about the star with fast, interesc- ing development which holds perfert- ly, and still, because of nicely dove tailed twists keeps the proper ele- ment of suspense right up to the fin- ish
 '"There is a touch of psychology Il the telling of the story. and yet this is never permitted to interfere with l the dramatic development, but is held
 as an undercurrent which gave added depth and sincerity to the dramatic 1 incidents.

 unfiited for her battle with the world. forced to accept wealthy husband
 after her mothers marriage to a
 miserlv broker who refused to SUD- port the daughter.
 l "Finally. after short honeymoon i with her husband, she found he was willing to provide credit at all the

DON'T LET WIFE
 DIE OF L0CKJAW
Warn Her Against Cutting Corns y Because They Can Be
 Lifted Out.

Women wear high heels which buckle up their toes and they suffer terribly from corns. Women then proceed to trim these pests, seeking relief, but they hardly realize the terrible danger from infection, says Cincinnati authority.
 Corn can easily be lifted out with the, fingers if you will get from any drug store quarter of an ounce of a drug called freezone. This is suf- ficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet. You simply apply few drops directly upon the tender, aching corn. The soreness is relieved at once and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out without pain.
 This is a sticky substance which dries in moment. It just shrivels ur ' the corn without inframing or even irritating the surrounding tissue ol skin. Cut this out and pin on youl wife's dresser.-Adv.

Bombing Won't Rid
 Hair Of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dand- ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 Do this tonight, and by morning, most If not all of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.
 You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work.
