Sufferers from tlii^ horrible malaily
nearly always inherit it — not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, m until you reach middle life, then
the first Uitle sore or ulcer makes its ap-
E earar.ee — or a swollen gland in the
reast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma*
nently all the poisonous virus must be
sliminated from the blood—every vvstage
jf it driven out. This &. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach ddep-
seated, obstinate bloori troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced ouf
' tire system the Cancer heals, and the
care never returns.
aneer begins often in a small way, astir*
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows:
A small pimple came on my jawalamt an inch
below the ear on the leftside of my face, itgav*
tie no paia or iaconven-
eincc, and I should have
forgottva ahout it had it
not bccuu to inflameund
itch ; it would bleed a
little, then scab over, but
Would,not heal. This
continued for .-orr.e time,
tihen my jaw beyan to
swell, becoming very
painful. The Cancer i>e-
«;an to cat and s|>read,
until it was as large as a
i half dollar,when I heard
lof S. S. S. and determin
ed to give it *t fair trial,
nnd it was remarkable
what a \vo rderful effect
it had from t he very beginning; the sore began t«
heal and after taking a few bottles disappeared
entirely. This was t wo yee rs ago ; thete are still
no signs of the Oncer, and my general heatlb

“It has long been the belief of Mr.
Btlekuey, the pvcsklent of the Chicago
Great Western railroad. Dial the fann

I»h*’s. *‘I1<* la a very earnest advocate
Of a complete ebautre iti the nielbnd
of farm lift*. He is In favor of crat
ing n little eoininimlty wherever there
are even a half dozen farm era rentier
ed on the wide western prairies. He
would have these fanners come into a
common community, not lu any sense
theoretically communal, but a com
munity fur Cultivation, for mental ad
vancement, for social progress, for Hie
fostering of the liner and the jollier
features of life. He advocates the
union of Iheso farmers into .such a
town or community, each one going
out from bis home in the morning to
his field as u city laborer goes out to
his work. The houses he would have
built at some intersecting point, which
would at all times leave the families of
the farmers in immediate contact. Not
only would there he a great increase in
the satisfaction of living, but protec
tion would be insured in the emergen
cies of sickness, lire and tramps. He
would obliterate the isolation which
separates the farmer from Hie .vorld
and which, if we arc to believe those
who have made a study of the sub
ject, does much to Increase insanity in
rural regions.
"Yet on no point Is lie more strenu
ous In his writings than on the foolish
ness shown by intelligent men in flock
Ing to the cities for employment in al
ready overcrowded quarters when the
opportunities in the country are so
large and tempting to the man of clear
vision. Here Is a quotation from an
address which Mr. Stickney gave some
time ago:
" ‘To the dogs with the sentimental
nonsense that the enuntning process of
the city schools and the advantages of
city churches, which you seldom enter,
“are all that makes life worth living,”
and that to remove to the country Is to
rob your children of these advantages.
Let laboring men examine the pedigree
of the successful business men. the dis
tinguished lawyers, the leading physi
cians, - the most eloquent clergymen,
and almost without exception they are
country born, reared and educated.' “
ICxiiinIninu Her Choice.
This story Congressman M. E. Ren
ton of Neosho, Mo., tells on himself
with becoming modesty and a great
deal of relish: Rack In Washington,
Renton had the reputation of being not
only one of the shrewdest, hut one of
the six homeliest men that ever graced
a seat in Lhe house of representatives.
While yet a struggling young lawyer,
he went from Newton county down into
Texas to prosecute a land claim. Al
though he did not win that suit, lie
won n much more mmncntoiM one with
a pretty Lone Star lass, who consented,
notwithstanding his pugnacious home
liness, to tick hack to Missouri and
help him rise to fame amid the mineral
abounding region of the O/.arks.
While in the old L’nlon depot at St.
Louis on his way home, Renton and Ida
fair bride ran across General E. Y.
Mitchell, an old pioneer of Kolia. Mo.,
General Mitchell is a plain spoken old
veteran, who says Just what he thinks.
Benton greeted him and introduced his
wife. The old man looked surprised.
He stared at Renton and beamed on
the pretty bride. Then he said sadly;

LeaLer, the Chess Master.
Dr. Emanuel Lasker, who has stead
ily fought Ids way to the position of
champion chess player of the world,
shows a certain amount of (l^ish in his
play, hut his strong point is mathe
matical precision. He would appear to
be able to work his adversary into a
kind of resigned stupor, and they gen
erally succumb as a rabbit does to a
snake; not that the doctor is anything
but the most amiable and unassuming
of men, but lie certainly seems to exer
cise an influence over Ids chess oppo
nent which the said opponent would
fain bo proof against. Dr. Lasker Is a
Prussian, hut has lived lu England for
several years. In 188b he came out as
a first class player, and all lovers of
the hoard will recall how he wrested
from Stoinitz the so long held title of
champion.

THE SLEEPING SENTINEL.

The oft told and hardly ever correctly
1 ihl story of the Vermont soldier who
was sentenced to he shot lor sleeping
on his post and was supposed to have
hex'ii saved from death by President
Lincoln was told onee more by Uon-
gressmaji Eleet UosDt tlix* other day.
As so related It ditfeVs from various
other versions, but is no less wide of
tho facts. In point of fact the soldier
was not a mere “lad," or “stripling,”
!>ut a man of 22 years. The brigade to
which he belonged was not on tlio
march, hut was in tlu' x-amp it oex'ti-
jiix'xl lx»r live montlis. His sentence to
hx> shot niul pardon by Gx'nerul Me-
rixdlan. in aecxirdanee with the ex-
pressexl wish of President Lincoln,
wort: parts of a solemn fan e intended
to impress the army with the enormity
of tiie military crime of a sentinel
sleeping on his pxif-t.

that tin* genxials never intended that
the soldier shoulxl he shot ami that Mr.
Lincoln knew this. The soldier’s fa
ther and sister dhl not appeal to Prx*sl-
dent I.iiu*x)ln in person for the pardon
of the son and brother. It wxnild have
been a physical impossibility for them
to have received news of the sx*n-
teiu'e, maxle the journey to Washing-
txm and sx*curoxl an audience with the
prcshlent in the few hours that elaps
ed between the sentence and the par
don. and nothing x»f thx: sort took place.
Of course the prosaic facts of the
ease, as strippexl of the halo of ro
mance which lias been thrown about
them, ilonot lessen theevidenceof Presi

love of mercy and kindness to the un

Athens In its prime had but 20.fM»0

15,000 people and Madison Square Car

vx>rt them all. he would hardly disturb
the majority of either party. What a

Many wrecking parties have been
organized to hunt fxir it and much

TILLMAN KEEPS THE TABLE.
Hr
Houi;i,t It CTix-wp at Auction, Where It
Was liinxlvertently Solxl.
Iltultlmors American,|
The bitter controversy between
United States Senators McLaurin and
Tillman, of South Carolina, calls to
tho mind of Col. Willard Howard,
commander of the Fourth regiment
Maryland national guard, an inter
esting experience he had with Sena
tor Tillman not so very long ago con
cerning an antique mahogany table,
which was an heirloom in the colo
nel’s family. When the colonel dis
continued housekeeping, shortly af
ter the death of Mrs. Howard, ho
stored some of his furniture in
Washington, where he had a married
daughter and where he spent much
of his time.
In the lot there was a mahogany
table which the colonel wished to
preserve because of its age and asso
ciations. In some manner, which
could not be accounted for, the table
got among some household goods
that were being auctioned off at the
storage warehouse. Senator Tillman
admired it and bought it for $10.
Learning of the transaction several
days afterward, Colonel Howard en
deavored to get the table back into
his own poiBeseion. By this time,
however, it had been given a conspic
uous place in the senator's house
hold and was the admiration of his
family and friends.
Colonel Howard at once wrote to
Senator Tillman giving him a history
of the table, calling attention to the
fact that it was never intended for
the auction room, and requesting that
it be returned to him. At the same
time the colonel said be would pay
all the charges and send a check for
the amount the senator bad paid for
the valuable piece of furniture.
Almost the very next mail brought
to Colonel Howard this crisp reply
from the senator: "Buy me a table
as good us the one I have and I will
return yours to you."
That settled the table so far as
Colonel Howard was concerned.
Senator Tillman had a prize, and he
knew it.. Col. Howard also knew
that he might travel from one end of
the globe to the other and possibly
never be able to duplicate that table,
which was originally purchased
abroad for a large sum of money.
Colonel Howard recently returned
to Baltimore from a protracted busi
ness trip through the South. He
said, with reference to the McLaurin-
Tillman controversy, that talks with
the business men and merchcnts of
tho South impressed him with the
fact that the policies advocated by
Senator McLaurin are in full accord
with public sentiment throughout
the South. "As I understui d it,"
the colonel said, "the South is ready
to support pen with more progressive
ideas than some of its representatives
have had in the past. The old war
sentiment is rapidly dying out.”

We agree with a brother editor
that there are a good many men who
are lying under the green today be
cause they tried to please everybody.
When they started out in life they
made up their minds that everybody
should be satisfied with them, but
they didn’t succeed in making any
body happy but the undertaker.
The world is full of fault finders
and grumblers, and a man cannot
walk five minutes in any given direc
tion without meeting with ’em.
Even when a man turns bis face to
the wall, kicks the foot of the bed
and expires there are people who will
find fault with it. Some will say
that he ought to have done it twenty
years ago, while others will say that
he ought to have waited a little
longer for the sake of his family.
The man who jogs along from day to
day and does his best, regardless of
what people say, is the one wha Is
the hardest to kill, and when at last
he does die there is about as many
bouquets laid on his casket as there
are on the casket of the man who
worried himself into Abraham’s
bosom.
