TERRIBLE ITCHING ON LIMBS Glen W'llton. Va.?"Five years ago I was in a terrible state of suffering with blotches on my limbs, of the most Intense stinging and Itching. I could not rest day or night; the itching was so severe that it waked me out of sleep. I could never get a full night's rest. I actually scrubbed the very : fle6h so severely that In a short time the affected places were so sore I could scarcely walk with any easo or comfort. The places were a solid raised up mass. I would scratch the parts ' until they would bleed. I tried home remedies but got no good; the itching Just kept on getting worse. I used some Balve which simply was no good at all.

L_ li V MftCT TIMCIV UCID IYIUUI IIIVILLI IILLr How a Nyctalops Repaid a Favor Shown Him by a Young Bank Clerk. Jy FLORENCE LILLIAN HENDERSON. With the magic of a smilo Walter Davis ruled all the little world of MiUville. He had started in at the bank as messnnsrer and at twnntv.tum bright, intelligent. energetic, lind worked his way into the favor of every person connected with that institution from the president down to the janitor?save one. The exception was Bruce Lowell. He seemed always to have envied Walter his rapid advancement and popularity. He was a dark-featured, sinister-appearing man. secretive and surly. If the light-hearted Walter had more closely sconced the surface of affairs, he would have noticed that Lowell scowled at him most particularly when he was in the company of Viola Merton. the daughter of the president, of the bank and the belle of the town. Walter was always doing kind things and making other people happy. It was no marvel to anybody, therefore. when one day. going home to supper from the bank. he. stopped to speak to a blind man slowly making his way along the street. "fan I help you. friend?" inquired Walter, In Ills warm-hearted, impulsive way. "Why. yes." replied the beggar. "I want to be set right on the road to Clyde." "Why, that Is fully ten miles away, and darkness will overtake you beforo von pounh vaiip ilool inotinn " aKoohva/I , . wvocltcM Walter. "Oh. I'm nil right in the dark." rather enigmatically explained the blind man. "Why don't you take the train?" asked Walter. "Because 1 have no money." was the blunt response. "Hut I have, and there you are!" cried Walter, handing the mendicant Mtfk rn =a_ ? "Why Don't You Take the Train?" a two-dollar bill. "Keep rljdit on as you are headed, and you'll reach tho depot." "Hold on." spoke the blind man. with a queer Krateful catch in his voice. "A little silver will do." "No. no?you nre welcome' to what 1 have Riven you." declared Walter. "1 can spare it." "I want to know your name, anyhow," persisted the mendicant. "Walter Davis." "I'll remember it. This is the most timely help I have ever received." "Glad of it." snld Walter heartily, and went on his way, immediately forgetting fiis kind deed, but vfollowed by the ardently-expressed wishes of his pensioner that, "he would have all kinds of good luck." The parting benlson of the blind man. however, did not follow out. Instead. bad luck, indeed, came to the young bank clerk. The following day the manager of the bank called him into his private office, serious-faced and somewhat distant In his manner. "Davis," he said, "I am sorry to tell you that you will have to take n leave of absence until the return of the president of the bank, Mr. Morton." "Why. what does this mean?" exclaimed Walter, staring vaguely. "Just this: Only yourself and Mr. Merton have keys to the bank. Coming from another town late In the morning. I have found no use for one. Last night some one entered the bank and removed the money and notes we keep in the cashier's box. It is not usually locked up in the vault, as the sum it holds is generally small. However. the notes and some two hundred dollars are missing." "Do you dare " began Walter. flaring up instantly, but the manager silenced hint with the words: "No one suspects you, but the bank rllrft/?tr\ru Ixrvlrl waii eoonanoihla ?*? * V? ?-? mii \ u?wi o m?iu j \s\m i vn|HMi.Tiwit; itn llin possessor of a key to the institution. They demand an Investigation, and your temporary resignation until Mr. Merton returns." The matter was plainly put and Walter could not rebel. The story got about town. No one accused hint openly, hut there were hinted suspicions. and to say the least he felt uncomfortable. Old Mr. Merton was a crabbed, suspicious man, and Walter wondered how Vloln would take It. He went to a lawyer, but tho latter advised him not. to stir thlncs un. Walter kept up a brave front Innocence armed him against real fretti-ig, and hope made him cheery and bright as usual. "I have good news for you," announced his lawyer, appearing at the Davis home just after dusk one evening. lie was quite excited, and h" had a companion at whom Walter glanced curiously and then recognlrtd, * : "Why, I've seen >*>u before." Bald Walter. "Yob. you gave me some help about a week ago," replied the blind man. "1 happened in tt^w today. I learned of your trouble and I found your lawyer. You called me 'friend'?do you remember?" asked the mendicant, with a noticeable huskiness in his throat. "Well, aren't we friends?" smiled Walter "I'm going to prove It. Go ahead. Mr. Lawyer. You've described that fellow. Lowell. He tallies. Give mo a sight of him." "What's that? A Bight of him?" cried Walter. ' "You will understand later. Walter," promised the lawyer. "Just run us against Lowell, some way." Walter felt that there was something mysterious in the proceedings, llr. noted also that the blind man accompanied them at quite a brisk gait and without guidance. It was a moonless night. Suddenly, as they turned a corner, they came ~ e?~ ...i#u r? x ti ?avu iu lav.c wiiu J3I UU1 liU W Ull, , strolling along by himself. The blind man took a step forward, bent his glance on the approaching figure, and cried out sharply. "That is the man!" "You are positive?" questioned the | lawyer. "I'd swear to him anywhere," , avowed the mendicant. "That man was one of two men whom I saw en- i tor the bank at midnight on the night j of the robbery. His companion unhinged one of the iron gratings and ! forced up a window. The fellow with him had a wooden leg." "Hello! hello! hello!" exclaimed the lawyer in three different tones of voice, evincing in turn wonde.\ suspicion and then triumph. "You didn't tell me that before. You liavo given me a tlnal clew." "What is this nonsense"" demanded Lowell indignantly, but pale ami trembling. a mo iui&ii lurui uir-n jvm an urn* ui | tho bunk robbers, ho says," replied | (lie lawyer. "Why! but ho is blind," exclaimed j Walter. "Yes, day times," said the mendi- i cant "1 am what is called a nycta- | lops?I enn see at night." Tho next morning the lawyer. Wal- j ter and the mendicant had an inter- ! view with the bank manager. Then ' the lawyer made a hurried visit to a ! neighboring town. He had remembered that Lowell had a relative there, an ex-convict, ; who had but one leg. The man confessed to the crime when he learned that otherwise both he and Lowell would be arrested. Lowell was given his walking pa- ' pers and disappeared. Somehow th" story got out. When the bunker and his daughter returned to MillvlHo, it was to learn the whole story. Against his wishes Walter had been put up as a candidate for a public office, and was more popular than ever. "You seem always making people happy," said Viola a few evenings later, referring to the blind man whom Walter had sent again on his way rejoicing. "I wish I was as fortunate as you." "Do you really?" asked Walter earnestly. "Then begin the good work, by telling me that you will make me the happiest of men by returning my love." "Oh, Walter," confessed Viola impulsively, "I did that Ions ago!" (Copyright, 1912, by W. (8. Chapman.) Marking of Sheep. Means prevailing at present for marking sheep for the purpose of identification is unsatisfactory for the reason that the coal tar or pitch solution which is made use of has a serious effect on the wool, not only whcj; the mark hr.s been made on the hair ; but all that which is being put through , the cleansing process at that time. Such wool brings a decreased price. The National Society of Agriculturo of France lins been investigating the ' matter, and the report of those apnoillted to do tllo wnrlr mntnint lt1Q following: It has been proposed to use aniline colors, but this is even worse, since the colors do not merely soil the fleece, but actually dye it. Other means are not lacking, notably that of tattooing the ear of the sheep. Also, a small metallic plate can be fastened in the ear. as is done with African sheep to prove that they have been "clavelizcd," i. e., inoculated with the special serum which combats their dangerous eruptive malady, rot or Hcab. The syndlcul chamber of commerce and industry advises the Employment of a color composed of linseed oil, essence of turpentine and I'russion blue or similar color.

V _ ' ? * imra/ffioNAT MJNMMOOL Lesson (By G. O. SELLERS. Director of Evening Department The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR JANUARY 12 MAN THE CROWN OF CREATION 0 LE8SON TEXT?Genesis 1:2C. 27: 1:7-9; 15-24. GOLDEN TEXT?"God created man In his own Image." Gen. 1:27. Ten times the words, "and God said" appear In the first chapter of Genesis. God spake, and 'twas done. | Now all is in readiness earth and heaven await his word, "and God said let ; us make man." It would seem as though a conference was being held 1 before this momentous evont. Tho | "let us/ make" is full of suggestion. That each person of the Triuno God- I head was present in creation we saw , In last week's lesson, and it Is here still further indicated by the plural form of tho Hebrew noun for tho name of God. Rut what pattern shall wo follow in tho making of man? Surely only the highest and bent, hence "in the image of God." This does not necessarily mean the physical image, but rather the intellectual t and spiritual image of God, Bee Col. , 3:10. Eph. 4:24. John 6.25. God who is spirit (John 4:25) does manifest himself in material form (see Phil. 2: (5. lea. G: 1 -4) and similar passages, and this form resembles the human. But this "image" (likeness) has been blurred and marred by sin, James 3:9. It was, however, perfectly seen in tho pent-vi .?mu. \ unsi jesuii, ?t*? v or. i 4:4. Ileb. 1:2. 3. Science at a Pause. How God created man wo aro not | told, except that ho was "formed of the dust of the ground," and to this day the bodies of men and of nnlmals consist of the very same elements as the soil which forms the earth upon ' which they dwell. It Is yet to bo proved that man came from the lower animals, and it Is a scientific secret that at, this point the real leaders of science are at a pause. The dust of our bodies is the same as yonder stars, as the lily of the field, as that which kings and queens are made. Hut still there are higher heights, for God breathed into this man his own spirit, verse 7, and from this union of the body and spirit man became a living soul. Man Is the connecting link between the material and ] the Infinite, by tho physical he is re- ! lated to lower nature and by the spiritual he is related to God.

The tw accounts of creation In tho first and second chapters of Genesis aro not contradictory, and to make them so one must rend Into the narrative what Is not there. The first presents a concise outline of creation, tho second an enlargement that connects these events with tho region whore man began to live, the starting point, of tho present human race. That Eden was undoubtedly in tho region of the Euphrates and the Tigris rivers is pretty generally accepted, though, of course, we can only speculate as to the cradlo of the human race. After God had (treated Adam with the highest nature the animals wero r.ot fit companions for him. Nor could ho be tho beginning of the race of man without one like to himself. Man can attain his highest only as he has hdman companionship (v. IS). Adam had the power of speech, and an Intel ligence. and was given the right to name the animals of the field (v. 10). Hut in all this there was no companion for him (v. 20). Unity of Life. In tho first account is the simple statement that Got! created "male and female." but in the second we neo that man is not completo without tho woman. God's modo was to mako her "bone of his bone" (vv. 22, 22). This suggests tho utmost possible unity of man and wife; unity of life, of soul, of emotions, cf hotno, etc. Matthew Henry calls to our attention the woman was not taken from "out of his head to top him, nor out of his foot, to bo trampled under foot, but out. of his side to bo bis equal, from under his artn to bo protected, and near his heart to be loved." The marriage relation is tho most ' Facrea 01 an nutnan ties (v. 24). It la ; the best possible training and educa- j tion in love, sacrifice, duty, victory over evil, in all that is best in life. Those are the qualities needed to build up the race. When ono is do- 1 ,-raded the other of necessity is lowcrod. To understand tho full meaning of tho marriage relation we need to comprehend the relation of Christ and his church. Eph. 5:SI, 32. If. then, man has such a high beginning, does not that vory fact inv j pose upon him a burden of responsi- , hillty to his Creator? "Nobility means j obligation," and to renounce is base ingratitude.
