Scientist Takes His Ovn. Life After
Making Disposition of His Life
Insurance. i
LitJe Rock, Jan. 16.— Charles
R. Owen, bookkeeper for the
new Wilson & Webb Stationery
Company, committed suicide by
shooting himself through the
head in his room at his boarding
house. His body was found
shortly after 6 o’clock, three
hours after he fired the fatal
shot.
He left two letters, one to his
brother at Long Beach, Cal. and
the other to June Wooten of
this city. In his letter to Woot
en he disposed of a $5,000 insur.
ance policy, giving $1,000 to the
Christian Science church of Lit

leading member. In the letter
he says he hopes no one will be
betrayed as he has been, but
makes no explanation. De- j

object to the application.

Luke ii., 40-52.
The Text of the Lesson—
(American Revised Edition).
40. And the child grew and
waxed strong, filled with wis
dom; and the grace of God was
upon him. 41. And his parents
went every year to Jerusalem at
the feast of the Passover. 42.
And when he was 12 years old
they went up after the custom
of the feast. 43. and when they
had fulfilled the days, as they
were returning, the boy Jesus
tarried behind in Jerusalem; and
his parents knew it not. 44. But
supposing him to be in the com
pany, they went a day’s journey,
and they sought among their
kinsfolk and acquaintance. 45.
And when they found him not
they returned to Jerusalem,
seeking for him. 46. And when
it came to pass, after three days
they touna mm in tne leinpie,
sitting in the midst of the teach
ers, both hearing them and ask
ing them questions. 47. And all
that heard him were amazed at
his understanding and his ans
wers. 48. And when they saw
him they were astonished ;and his
mother said unto him, ‘ ‘Son, why
hast thou thus dealt with us?
behold, thy father and I sought
thee sorrowing.” 49. And he
said unto them, “How is it that
ye sought me? knew ye not that I
must be in my Father’s house?”
50. And they understood not the
saying which he' spake unto
them. 51. And he went down
with them, and came to Naz
areth; and he was subject to
them: and his mother kept all
these sayings in her heart.
52. And Jesus advanced in
wisdom and stature, and in favor
with God and men.
Notes.—Born in Bethlehem,
presented in the Temple in Jeru
salem 6 weeks after his birth, re
tnrned to Bethlehem, visited by
the wise men, borne in flight to
Egypt to escape the sword of
Herod, recalled after the death
of Herod, at home in Nazareth.
These are the simple and un
adorned statements with which
the child Jesus is presented to
the world by the selected chron
iclers, as they wrote under the
guidance of God’s spirit.
For eight years we hear no
more of his life, save this brief
statement: “And the child grew
and waxed strong, filled with

was upon him. ” Fourteen words
in the orginal; Eighteen in our
language! This sentence alone
is sufficient evidence that God,
not man was the writer. Five
hundred pages would scarcely
have sufficed for the recital of
these eight years of the child life
of Jesus, if men had written it.
Meeting his own little respon
sibilities, going the rounds of his
little duties, taking such exercise
and food as his growing body re
quired, listening to and receiv
ing the instruction of Joseph and
Mary, submitting readily to such
restraints and regulations as were
imposed by the discipline of
the household, studying the
books of the Law, the Psalms,
the Prophets, worshiping in the
synagogue on the Sabbath: thus
the child reached the close of his
12th year.
Let me say a few words to pa
rents, Sunday School teachers
and to children. The first twelve
years of life usually tell us what

; WHEN THE KIDNEYS
ARE AILING.
The Urgent Need of Prompt Restora
tive Measures is Something
That Everv One Should
*
Understand.
“A Stitth in Time Saves Nine.”
Slight disorders in the kidneys or uri
nary organs are more serious than most
people think. The first warning symp
toms should receive prompt medical
treatment to ward off Bright’s Disease
or some other dangerous malady. When
the kidneys are ailing and the symptoms
become sufficiently pronounced to he
noticeable the condition calls at once
for prompt measures to stay the progress
of the disease. Prickly Ash Bitters is
the remedy needed. Taken on the ap
]>earance of the first symptoms, such as
pain in the hack, puffiness under the
eyes, irregularities in the urine, digestive
disorders, it will save the victim incal
culable misery and suffering, mental
torture and expense. Used at the begin
ning of the trouble it cures quickly.
Used in the more advanced stages it will
win hack health and strength as rapidly
as circumstances will possibly permit.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having

The lots in the new town
of Kinta, I. T., are selling
faster than any new town
opened since the days of
EMd, Pond Creek, Ponca
and a few others.
Many people claim, who
really are in close touch with
the new town and surround
ings, that Kinta will be a
city of from 2,000 to 5,000
in two years or less.
What would that mean to
you should you own one of
these lots that are centrally
located, as all that I am of
fering are?
It would mean probably
1,000% to you on the in
vestment. Kinta has fine
agricultural lands, great
coal, gas and oil deposits.
Why shouldn’t it be a great
! place? If you have not
bought, do so now.
