7 A Wart or Pimple MAY BE CANCEROUS. When a wart, mole or pimple show* any sign of tenderness it is a warning that bad blood is behind it. Often these places are on the face, hands, legs or other part of the body for years, and give no sign to cause uneasiness, and then with a little rough handling, a slight cut or bruise will develop into a sore that re fuses to heal, and the sufferer finds him self afflicted with a cancerous ulcer. About thrae years aaro a blister came on the riRht side of my nose. It arrow speedily in spite of all efforts to heal it up; the pain was not very severe at first, but increased when the sore be?an to inflame and discharge matter. At times the place would scab over and appear to be Rettinsr well, but the scab would drop off, leaving a red, amrry looking ulcer. I had almost despaired of ever curing it, when my attention was called to S. 8. S., and after taking a few bottles the sore began to gradually grow smaller, the discharge stopped and I was cured.

(Fergus Falls Journal.) The recent appearance In an ob scure and Irresponsible paper, as well as in certain official publications of the city council, of the word "graft” has elicited from a number of our readers an inquiry as to what the word meant, as it is not found in dictionaries even of the most re cent pattern. For the benefit of our readers residing on the fiats and the Tordenskjold prairies—who do not enjoy metropolitan advantages we have made an exhaustive examination of the authorities and will give all our readers the benefit of our research. In “Hostetter’s Family Almanac” we find: Graft, n. (See grafter. Deriv. either from grab, to take, to seize, or from graft, to make grow upon or insert in.) 1. The benefiting of a public official or his friends at the public expense, through an official act. 2. The using of one’s official posi tion to gain advantage, denied to others. 2. To so act or do. that an official's fellow citizens are injured while he and his friends profit. 4. To so direct public matters as to benefit one’s self or friends and injure others. To take for one’s self or to give one's friends special privileges. fi. To take that which belongs to the public for private use. 7. To grant one’s self or friends im munity from that which others are compelled to do. 8. To do a thing, pretending that it is for public benefit when it is only private. Illns. To so run a sewer that an alderman may get the benefit of it while his neighbors pay for it. To sell to the city through a dummy when ;ho law forbids an official to do it di- rectly. To so place street lights that an alderman can enjoy it and the Pub lic cannot, etc. And His graft, was bold, yet within the pale of —Ben law. Johnson. Did You Ever Think what a bargain you are getting when you tret THE LEDGER one hundred and three (103) times a year for 0nl*$y0a Year? He was as subtle a grafter as ever graced a council’s board, Or fixed his street at ward’s expense. —Shakespeare. •‘I’lack was a past master in the art of grafting. He was a thorough par- liamontarian. !!«' always had his mat ters well in hand. His reports were always carefully prepared and even move was consummated with a clock like precision. Although possessing a sensitive nature, he was bold, almost brazen, in the carrying out of jobs in which the combination, wnose servile tool he was, was interested. The lord mayor, whose vast and varied inter ests frequently encroached upon pub lic rights, relied upon him implicitly, and he never failed him. His associ ates on the board, with one or two ex ceptions, were honest, hut they were obtuse or weaklings and offered no resistance. The organic law govern ing the city was ignored, forgotten, and his grafting went on unhampered and unchecked.”—McDougal’s "The London Council.” !)r. Schopenkoff in his "Growth of Language,” says: In these days when our vocabulary is being enriched by many new words whose origin and derivation cannot he traced to a certainty, there is a con stant tendency to substitute, so that j the exact meaning is liable to be con- ! fused and lost. We should strive to I guard against this and by proper use fix their exact meaning. The words j "graft” and “boodle” are cases in point. Their meaning is entirely diff I erent. Boodle is the price paid for an i official act or vote, the taking or giv- ! ing of which is a crime. Graft is the | profit of an official act which, althougli within the law, Is morally wrong and | not to he tolerated in well ordered I communities.

The Washington Post has this: “The Southern is now double-track- l ing its line from Danville, Va.. to Pel- 1 bam, N.

(Franklin Times.) As an old farmer friend remarks, a home-grown, hard-spanked, bare footed and hard-fisted country boy makes a much better fighter in the battles of life than does the pampered, high-collared, crease-trousered youi^i of our towns and cities, whose clothes have always been dusted with a whisk broom instead of a shingle.
