Years atro my blood was bad, as evi denced by skin eruptions on dift'eremt parts of the body, and other symptoms, so I concluded to try S. 8. S., knowing it to be highly spoken of. After using a number of bottles—do not remember now just how much my blood was thor oughly purified and enriched and I w s relieved of all cruprions and manifesta tions of impure blood. I believe S. 3. 8. to bo an excellent blood medicine, and any one in n^ed oi such a medic r.e would do well to uso it. They will fi 1 d it a perfect cure as it proved to be in my case. MRS. C. E.

(Andgrson Mail.) Draw up a chair, boy, and let’s have a talk. Suppose the Almighty In His wis dom should give you the privilege of making a man—jns< one. What kind of a creature would you fashion and turn loose upon the world? Have you ever thought of such a. thing? Suppose the Almighty should take you into His workshop and give you h!1 the materials that He uses in his work every dav and t*;ll you to pitch in and make a man. What would you do? You are young yet. boy. but you are old enough to grasp the idea. Now this man of yours—what kind of a man he would be? What pattern would you take.’ What Qualities would you give him? What great feits would you want him to accomp lish? You have your ideal of a man, boy, although you may not fully realize it. You have found your ideal either among the men you know in person, or 1 he men you have heard of, or the men you have read about in books. And you would make this man <>f yours as nearly like your idea s as possible. Wouldn't you ? 'i on would make your man strong 1 mind and pure in heart, you would make him brave and truthful and hon- • >si. you would make him stout and bold as a man ought to be. and at the same time as gentle as a woman, >ou would make him too big to do little tilings and big enough to do big tiling. Wouldn’t you.’ As you think about it now. although the idea may never have occurred to you before, you are quite sure that vou would make a perfect man indeed if the Almignty would give you the wonderful privilege oi entering his work -hop and using His tools and nia rerials and patterns. You are sure you would make a per fect man, aren’t you? , i,,,.. Well, now listen. Listen closely, for 1 I . . .; iris is important. God has already given you thai privilege. In laci ! e has thrust it upon you. You are to make a man. You are to make a man of yourself. Yes, sir, that is a fact. Had you ever realized that before? Do you fully realize now just what it means? You are to make a man of yourself, and under the Divine law you can make of yourself just whatever kind of a man you want to be. You may lie a good man or a bad man: you may he a big, strong man having iniiuence and control among your follows, or you may be tin* weakest, puniest worm that ever crawl ed upon this earth. It all rests with you. It. all depends on you. Boy, this as a big job before you. and you ought to realize it now. You are “up against it.” so to speak. But don’t got frightened, for mil lions of other boys have stood where you are standing now, and you must not get discouraged, for you can’t get away from this job even if you Wait ed to. And in fact the making of a man is easy enough if you go at it right. At the same time you ought to know that it is the most up hill job that mortal ever tackled if you go at it wrong. You ought to begin making a man of yourself right away; the quicker the better. You cannot make a man of yourself in a few hours or a few days. It is a life time job. But if you just start right it will l»e easy and pleasant. And the longer you work at it the easier it will be and the more you will like it and the greater your success will be. And think what, a work it is that you are to engage in. There can lie no more splendid success than to make of yourself the right kind of a man; there can he no more pitiful fail ure under heaven than to make of yourself the’ wrong kind of man. Boy, do stop and think a little. It. is written in the Book of Destiny, and you can’t rub it out, that you are to make a man of yourself. The job is for you and you alone. You ought to think about it, and then start right and start now. If you want to make the right kind of a man of yourself you must start now while you are a boy. It is a hard tiling to change the wrong kind of a man into the right kind of a man after he gets to tie a man. Thousands of men are trying that every day and not one in a hun dred will ever succeed. May the Lord help you, boy, in this task that has been set before you. It is a task that is enough to make stoutest heart quake, and yet it is tin* easiest and the most pleasant work in the world if you will just start right. If you start right men and angels will help you; if you start wrong the whole universe will conspire to keep you down and in the wrong road. This has been a rather lengthy talk, hut we wanted to give you the truth because you need it. We have given it to you and we hope you will profit by it. Now, take a little time to think and then tackle the job before you. The sooner tin* better. And— Godspeed! A Modern Instance. (Atlanta Journal.) On the theory that examples of bravery and self-sacrifice minister to the betterment of the human rase the unusual storv of Rolin Ellison, banker, of LaGrange, Indiana, and ‘hat of his family, deserves a wide publicity. Ellison’s bank failed because its proprietor had more than his share of civic spirit. He took great pride in the growth of his town and to help along its prosperity went into about every new enterprise that, was pro pose.!. He got in too deep. Realizing that he had violated the banking laws, he voluntarily pleaded guilty and is serving a short term in ‘.he peniten tiary. Ellison gav.» up every dollar to his creditors. His wife relinquished her private fortune. That is rather unusual to begin with. Now .Mrs. Ellison is housekeeper in | a summer resort hotel. Her son is porter and chore boy and her two daughters are waiters on table. The j boy gives up college and the girls so-1 ciety. Uncommon. But there is another pretty story coming. Years ago Banker Ellison helped a young man whom everybody said was "no account.” The young man went west and got rich. When Mr. Elli son’s hank failed the young man came to LaGrange and offered his benefac tor half of his fortune and begged him I to take it. Ellison said: j "I have violated the law. though with no bad intention. 1 will take my medicine. My family is a brave one. We will pull through and start again.” Anything finer than that? No* sir; not even in Plutarch’s lives. Prison strines can leave no mark on that sort of a man. And there 1 can come no shame ot such a husband ; and father, even though he be in the j ProtectYourself German-American Monazite Ca. orie l t Against loss by accident, sick ness, tire, storms, and leave your family comfortably “fixed” when you die, by investing in an INSURANCE POLICY.

(From the ijondon Daily News.) Three boys in a house were told to go and take the exact time by a clock in the town. The first lad went, look ed at the clock, came back and said: "It is 12 o’clock.” In after life he be came a prosaic bookseller. v The second boy was more exact. He said on returning that it was three minutes past 12. He became a doctor. The third lad looked at the clock, found out how long It had taken him to walk hack to the house, returned to the clock, then added the time of^ his walk to the time of the clock and re ported the result thus: “It is at this moment 12 hours, 10 minutes and 15 seconds.” That boy came to distinc tion as Helmholtz, the scientist.
