TONIC When the system gets debilitated and in a run-down condition it needs a tonic and there has never been one discovered that is the equal of S. S. S.

It is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks: selected for their purifying and healing qualities, and possesses just the properties that are needed to restore to the body strong robust health.

I met him on th'e street corner a bright. black-eyed lad of perhaps fourteen summers. 1 had seen him thenre evening after evening, and woidered whether there was no one knew the teip tation he had encountered. I made friends with him, and won his coideIice'. Then I ques tioned him .kindly in regard to his spending SO muCh time upon the street. "I know," h0 said, looking up at me in such a frank, winning way that I could not help think ing what a noble man he might make, "the street is no place for a boy, but you see, there's no place for me at home." I was surprised and pained at the answer. "How is that?" I asked. -Well. 1 have two grown up sisters and they entertain com pany in the parlor every evening. They give me to understand that I am a 'third party,' and not wanted. Then papa is always tired and he dozes in the sitting room, and does not like to be disturbed. Its pretty lonesome you see. so I come down here. It was not always so," he went on. "Before grandma died I a] ways went up to her room and had a good time. Grandma liked boys." There was a quiver in the voice now and told of a sorrow that time had not yet healed. "But your mother?" I sug gested. "Oh, mamma!-she is only a reformer, and has no time to spend with me. She is always visiting prisons and workhouses trying to reform the men, or writing articles how to save boys." "And her own in danger?" "Yes, I am not half as good as I was before grandma died. I am getting rough, I am afraid. There does not seem to be any one to take an interest in me, so it does not much matter." It was a hard, bitter truth; yet I knew he was not the only boy who needed a wise, gentle hand to lead him through the .danger ous period. 0 mothers! are you blind that you cannot see the danger of your own, but look for that of others? Make home the brightest spot on earthi for your children. I think the saddest, most hope less thing I ever heard fronm a boy's lips was that sentence: "There is no place for me at home." God forgive that moth er, and open her eyes before it is too late, and help others to heed the warning! How is it, mothers? Are your boys in danger? Think of this, ponder over it. pray over it. Author Unknown. Our W. C. T. U.~met last Fri day at the home of Miss Jessie Curtis. It was said to have been a business meeting, but I think by the time it was finished we all felt like calling it a pleas ant social meeting. I think everyone who attended enjoyed it, and was greatly benefited by As our president was absent Miss Jessie Curtis took her place. The business part of the rogram was attended to byMiss essie Corbett, who was elected resident of the society until the former president's return, Miss Nonie Corbett was elected presi dent of the social meetings. We planned to have a social meeting sometime soon at the home of Mr. M. B. Corbett. Our friends will be invited, whether mem bers of the union or not; there will be a program and after wards refreshments. We hope to make it very pleasant. The literary feature of the program Friday afternoon con sisted of several sweet songs and prayers; a reading by Miss Bes sie Corbett exorting our mem bers to always wear the white ribbon, and one by Miss Nonie Corbett telling of the new and beautiful stature of Frances E. Willard. Mrs. J. W. Mims read a very interesting story of one leaf of the bible, her reading was the best and most impressive of all, as it was read with so much force and clearness. Last thing on the program was a solo by Miss Jessie Curtis. Then we adjourned to meet at the home of Mrs. Jack McLeod two weeks hence. A Dinner avitation.

The Kind You Bave Always Bought THE FLAMINGO AT HOME. Observation Has Proved That Both Male and Female Incubate. Apparently two factors enter into the flamingoes' type of architecture-they must build where there is mud and at the same time erect a structure high enough to protect its contents from any normal rise in the water due to tides or rainfall. I After watching a nesting colony of flaiingoes in the Bahamas for "nearly an hour" at a distance of 150 yards Sir Henry Blake stated that the fe males sat upon the nests, while the wales stood up together, evidently near by. My dissections, however, showed that both sexes incubate, while contin ued observation from the tent revealed the presence of only -: hin of the pair in the rookery at the same time. The bird on the nest was relieved late in the afternoon and early in the morn ing. The one, therefore. which incu bated during the day fed at night. and his or her place was taken by another which had been feeding during the day, or, as Peter put it, "I do t'ink, sir, dat when de lady fillymingo leave de nest den de gen'leman fillymingo take her place, sir; yes, sir." Morning and evening, then, there was much activity In the rookery. Single girds or files of as many as fifty were almost constantly arriving and depart ing, coming from and radiating to ev ery point of the compass. Flamingoes in flight resemble no oth er bird known to me. With legs and neck fully outstretched and the com paratively small wings set halfway be tween bill and toes, they look as if they might fly backward or forward with equal ease. They progress more rapid ly than a heron and when hurried fly with- a singular serpentine motion of the neck and body, as It they were crawling in the air.-Century. A Chicago AIderman Owes His Election to Chamberlaen's Cough Remedy. "I can heartily and conscientiously recommend Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy for affections of the throat and lungs," says Hon. John Shenick, 220 So. Peoria St. Chicaze. "Two years azo during a political campaign, I caught cold after being overheated, which irritated my throat and I was finally compelled to stop, as I could not speak alond. In my extremity a friend advised me to use Chamberlains Cough Remedy. I took two doses that after noon and could not believe my senses when I found the next morning the in flammation had largely subsided. I took several doses that day, kept right on talking through the campaign, and thank this medicine that I won my seat in the council." This remedy is for sale by The R. B. Loryea Drug Store, Isaac M. Loryea, Prop. AMERICAN WOMEN. A Phase of Their Housekeeping That Surprises Engthwommen. A favorite fling of the French at the English has always been that the lat ter are a nation of shopkeepers. An Englishwoman has called Americans "a nation of housekeepers." During a visit to this country she was struck by the fact that so many American women of means and refinement ei ther "do their own work" or actively superintend the domestic arrange ments, taking a pride in this duty. Our friend was surprised to learn that "an American woman will spend the forenoon in cooking or dusting or cleaning, then dress herself like a duchess and sally forth to the meeting of a fashionable club where she is to read a learned paper, like as not, or else call a carriage and make a round of social calls. And her standing does not seem to be impaired in the least by the fact that during part of the day she has done the work of a menial nor has it affected her own personal attractiveness." No other woman has done so much as the American to emphasize the dig nity of labor.-Housekeeper. By the Tonic Route.

Once, when Australia was not yet con nected with the old world by telegraph, a mall steamer from London beat the record in smart passage, and to sig nalize the event she fired off all her guns as she advanced up the harbor of Melbourne. But the Melbourne au thorities misconstrued this demonstra tion and, feeling sure that the Russians were really coming at last, promptly mobilized all their military and naval resources before they discovered their Pleasant and Harmless.

The trouble with the most of us is that we do not know how to make up our minds, and often the fact is that we have not given our minds to the thought that requires us to determine about it. Why is it the sun shines and sheds its warmth through one glass, but accomplishes nothing? Change the form of the glass through which it comes, let us make It convex, and first you will see the smoke, then the spark and then the flame.-Rev. T. V. Mc Leod. _ For an Impaired .Appetite.

One evening "the master" was sitting in the library when the doorbell rang. Nora answered it, and on her return through the hall "the master" inquired who It "It was a young man, sor," replied Nora.

The coimm;aon snail has lungs, heart and a general ciculation and is in every respect ian air b-eathing creature. This iiotwithstand;:i. he can live on indefinitely without inhaling the least atom of air, that which is usually con sidered the essential to existence in all creatures supplied with lungs. Leppert s:tys. "To all organized crea tures the removal of oxygen, water, nourishment and heant causes death to ensue." When that statement was made lie did not appear to consider the snail as one among the great hurt of "organized beings." for the experi ments made by Professor Spallanzani prove that any or nil the usual life con ditious can lie removed in its case with out terminating its existence or in any way impairing its functions. It is a fact well known that the com mon land snail retreats into his shell on the approaich of frosty weather in the fall and that the opening or mouth of the shell is hermetically sealed by a secretion which is of a silky texture and absolutely impervious to air and water. In this condition it is plain that he is deprived of three out of the four elements of life mentioned by Leppert-viz, air, water and nourish ment. .-o-. Got off Cheap.

On the occasion-in question the war rant was one for technical assault, and It came out In the course of evidence that the parties were neighbors and had been on the best of terms for some years. "It is a great pity," said the judge, "that old friends like you seem to have been should appear before me in such a way. Surely this is a case which might be settled out of court." "It can't be done," answered the plaintiff moodily. "I thought of that myself, but the cur won't fight" casTORIA. Bearsme h Kind You Have Always Bought Signature of Bagged at Last.
