lt was at the breakfast table that
Mr. Scott Lindsay a veteran of the

"Great grief, mother!" he exclaim

o i day when they saw a little band
ol' iii?; reconcentra ! M ahead <d' tin1 ni,
In hind thc nu n and women lagged a
six year-old-hoy. Ile was oyitlently
sie'r. and weary unto death, but still
he tottered pi rsistontly on.
At length, his last .ounce of strength
gone, he fell and lay there in the mud,
unable t" lise. His father and mutil
er glanced back at him stolidly and
went on. Their own strength would
be hardly suflici'int t<> carry them to
caiL'p and sullenng bad dulled tlurir
sensibilities. If he could not keep
up In* must die where he fell.
Lieut. Ilrooke dropped from his
horse, picked the little fellow up and
galloped into camp with him. There
he fed him until he could cat no
more, wrapped him in warm blankets
and left him to the long, dreamless
sleep of exhausted childhood. An
ohl Cuban woman washed his little
cotton shirt and trousers and, after a
few days' rest, he was sent back to
Kl Caney with a generous supply of
provisions.
Two days later the little fellow, still
weak and pale, again appeared in
camp. Going straight to Lieutenant
Brooke, he took a small chicken from
inside his little shirt and, with tears
iu his eyes, presented it. It was thc
only thing he could give him, he said,
to show his appreciation of thc senor's
kindness, lie had walked all the-way
from K1 Caney through the deep mud
aral after he had made his humble
present he walked back.
Lieut. Brooke took the chicken to
(?en. Shaftcr and told its story. The
( i encrai tethered it to his tent pole.
When he entered Santiago he took
the bird with him. There her nightly
roost was a glided chandelier in the
Governor's palace. When thc army
moved out to camp again the chicken
went too. Later she journeyed to
Montauk Point, thence to Governor's
Island, and now she struts and
scratches, and cackles contentedly in
San Francisco, a living reminder of a
deed of mercy, a pathetic acknowledg
ment of thc gratitude with which at
least one little reconcentrado will al
ways recall las Americanos.

A Witty ?lind Mau.
A showman was making a great noise
at the front of his exhibition of thc
wonders he had to show. A man stand
ing in the crowd, with a little boy be
side him, cried out:
"I'll bet you a sovereign you cannot
let mc sec a lion."
"Done," said thc showman, eagerly,
"put up your money."
Tim man placed a sovereign in thc
hand of a bystander nod thc showman
did the same.
''Now, walk this way," said the
showman, "and I'll soon convince
you. There!" said he, triumphantly,
"look in that corner at that beautiful
Numidian lion."
"I don't sec any," responded tho
other.
"What's the matter with you?" ask
ed thc showman.
* "I'm blind," was tho reply; and in
a few minutes thc blind man had
pocketed thc two sovereigns and went
away.
Suicide.
Most <>f us would be astonished to
know how many of the people who ar.1
wal ki mr ubout and eating and sleep
?rig. talking and working in.?very com
munity ba vc committed - ucide.
liy Divine ami human law and thc
general verdict of society tri. . -aun;
man who take- bis own ? l.ysieal life
bas committed a crime. The act is re
garded as cowardly, for il is Hight
from the burdens and resp .risibilities ?
and suffering which are tl. eouiinon
lot of man. Vet there is a cowardice
baser than that of the tuan who lays
violent hands on himself, ai d suicide
even more criminal. This i - the moral
suicide of the mau who givi - up, sur*
renders, abandons his bop' md pur
pose*
The temptation to this. . iiic.nl? is ,

struggled aga inst a sill or a weakness ;
and have fallen vhder ?i liiue after

listless IO T> si.-t fut ber, just as it .s ',
easy for t he mao hex t by 11 > ablcs and j
disasters to -i ek to ?-mi tb.-rn all with j
bi- own lite. When we bave fought |
and striV? tl for a purpose on an ambi
tion, and bave strained ?very nerve
and fonml our plans come I" nothing,
the tired soul ami the discouraged
heart cry out for rest and join in the
demand for the inglorious sloth ol' sur
? rn
render and suicide, 'i Iterelore legions
of meti yield, and while yet physically
alive ur? morally dead because they
have consenti d to a slavery to sin to
abandon hope and lo drift wit!: cir
cumstances.
A profn md philosopher who wrote
a great nove! sai?! that t!..- .T.:.t. t
borer of suicide lo bim was that ibo
awfully enlightened soul might, i III -
mediately al ter its.'eiif ..e. d Hight.froni
i be body, come to knot" thal the act
that drove it forth was iinncces-ary,
that the moment next following would
have brought rescue and relief. Iii
that thought there is the wisdom of an
eternal truth. No man can know what.
i> before bim. The hours hu rrj' to
us in an endless procession and we do
not know what that one next beyond
us may be bringing us. lb cause that
is true every suicide is folly, every
surrender is a premature and unneces
sary act of cowardice and weakness.
The d-ay.s of miracles are past, but
the unexpected and uuforseen con
tinue to happen. There is always rea
son to hope und to try because wc di?
not know what the future fast be
coining the present may bold. .When
we have given Up and have committed
suicide by telling ourselves that strug
gling and effort aro useless, and bj
ceasing from both thc opportunity
that may come can not help us.
It is our duty to bold to our faith
in ourselves, to keep to our purposes,
examine ourselves honestly, laying
bare our bear's and reviewing lives
with careful impartiality-which
many of us live to old agc and die
without thc courage to do even once.
Wc will usually find that we really
have not done the best wc could, that
we have not used all our strength and
capacity, lt is never too late to try
again, to go again at the obstacles, to
struggle again with thc burden. The
first and the hardest fight is always, of
course, with ourselves and our own
shortcomings and faults. We can al
ways fight them; and as we lop them
off or bt-at them down the external
obstacles will look easier, thc loads
will lighten.
In no case has any man the right to
abandon hope or to relinquish purpose.
When he says that he can not bc bet
ter than he is and ceases from trying
to be better bc is a moral suicide, a
coward and a weakling. When bc
abandons his purpose or hope or ambi
tion he simply abandons tb? fight
with himself and kills his higher in
stincts and qualities that his baser
and weaker elements may ? rcvail over
him. - Greenville News,

lu the good old days in Kentucky
then: was a court composed of three
magistrates to try certain eases ap
pealed from a single justice of the
peace. Tho three magistrates were
back woodsmen. A ease was being
tried one day that was very important
and several hours of listening to the
reading of deposition.- and the argu
ments of counsel, pro and eon, and pro
and cnn again, had so nearly entang
led the court ill a labyrinth of per
plexing questions of law and fact that
they doubted their ability to blaze
their way nut. So they whispered to
the leading lawyer at the bar, who
was sitting by us a spectator, and a-k
ed him what lo' thought ought to be
d ue- with the case.
.| think it ought to )>-; thrown <>ut

phatic reply.
That settled it.
"Mr. Clerk," said the chief magis
trate, ''pass up them papers

large bundle, were handed the chief
magistrate.
''Now, Mr. Sherill,' said be deliber

Hi I EftSltU Ml rinO I nO will develop into Cancer of the worst type.
So many people die from Cancer simply be
MhRP PIMP! canso they do not know just what the disease is;
ii!LIBL rillllLLOi they naturally turn themselves over to the doctors,
and" are forced to submit to a cruel and dangerous
operation-thc only treatment which the doctors know for cancer. The disease
promptly returns, however, and is even more violent and destructive than
before. Canner is a deadly poison in tho blood, and an operation, plaster, or
other external treatment can have no effect whatever upon it. The cure must
como from within-the last vestige of poison must be eradicated.
^SBttjw Mr. Wm. Walpole, of Walshtown, S. D., says: "A
^^^^ little blotch about tho size of a pea came under my left
y& eye. gradually growing larger, from which shooting pains
?Hl at imer va'3 ran in al1 directions. I became greatly alarmed

' ?1 ?j"WMl S. S. S.. and decided to try it. It acted like a charm, the

EhilWi^A ^SLmlMSm. Positively tho only cure for Cancer is Swift's Sp?cifie
S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD
-because it is the only remedy which can go deep enough to reach the root of
the disease and force it out of the system permanently. A surgical operation
does not reach the blood-tho real seat of the disease-because the blood can
not bo cut atcay. Insist upon S. 8. S.; nothing can take its place.
S. S. S. cures also any case of Scrofula, Eczema, Rheumatism, Contagious
Blood-Poison, Ulcers, Sores, or any other form of blood disease. Valuable
