SEN. TILLMAN INTERVIEWED.
A Woman Induces Him to Talk In
terestingly.
(Ruth Hale in Washington Post.)
Anybody who wants any yams out
of me has to dig for them,” an
nounced Senator Tillman, “cornfield
lawyer,” rose culturist and geograph
ical expert. “I don’t propose to be
held UP for a n Interview and then
have to sweat it out of myself into
the bargain.
“Anyway, I never know what to say
to frilly women, who expect me to
tone down my conversation. I never
will be able to do that successfully."
“Well, if you will let me have a
little of the raw product I’ll be much
obliged,” I replied.
"Then sit down over there.”
The broad brow of the "pitchfork
senator” was furrowed with perplex
ity. »
“What must I say?” he demanded
of his wife.
Mrs. Tillman smiled sympatheti
cally over his trials. Even the raw
product seemed hard ot get at.
“The object seems to be.” he con
tinued, with his most ludicial air,
“to get off some sprightly presiflage
for the public e^yety.”
“We’re are all familiar with the
'gentle rose cluturist,’ which Is your
most persistent character before the
public,” I suggested. “Suppose you
spin some yams about roses.”
“You sensation hunting lunatics,’
said the senator, shaking with laugh
ter. Can’t I have my little flower
patch in peace? When people begin
to talk about me and impress me as
being at all worth encouraging. I tell
them I have three passions—flowers,
music and w r omen.”
“Are you a musician?” I asked.
A gentle laugh from Mrs. Tillman
warned me that I was on dangerous
ground, but the senator told me
blandlv that he performed on the
harmonica.
“I don’t do much playing these
days. I am very busy answering fool
letters and keeping ‘this woman’ (a
pet name for Mrs. Tillman) out of
trouble. I don’t entice sw’eet strains
out of my harmonica like I used to.”
“He used to have a splendid voice
too.” said Mrs. Tillman, “before he
ruined it talking too much.” The sen
ator was too used to her quiet teas
ing to “sass back,” though he claimed
that he did not always let her off so
easily.
“Sometimes when she’ gets very
sassy,” he said affectiouately, “I re
cite poetry to her. Now, she doesn’t
like poetry, and tells me so very
frankly. Then I look mournful and
sigh, like Touchstone: ‘Would that
the gods had made thee poetical.'
That gets even with her every time.”
“Please don’t talk to me about my
roses. If you do I’ll be so homesick
and will have to leave all this work
over there” he said, nodding toward
the capitol. “and go down there to
see them grow.
"And right now there’s an old
mocking bird sitting on a round
knob on my front gate in South Caro
lina that’s been singing there since
sunner time. I reckon by now he’s
pretty sleepy and is just fussing a lit
tle before he goes to bed. Why. I'd
rather hear that old fellow tonight—
my!”— and the fiery juggler of
pitchforks was sailing back in the
ilreamshin to magnolia scented Tren
ton. listing to the sleepy good-night
of a mocking bird.
“He sits up late this time of the
year, to smell the wistaria.” he said,
without coming back from South Car
olina. “One year a big tree I had was
killed by the frost, and I had to trim
it down to a stump. On one side of
this I planted a ellow climbing rose,
and on the other wistaria. The two
bloom at the same time every spring,
and the air is heavy with the per
fume. The old mocking bird sits up
till the roses that have bloomed dur
ing the day begin to wilt, and then
he gets the full force of the odor. I
He’s a sharp old chap.
"As for women, my mother was the |
finest woman that ever lived. She
taught me when I was little to stick
to the truth and despise «a lie. Then i
J was still mighty young when 'this
woman’ came on to the scene,
took me in charge when I was eight
een, and*I married her before I was
twenty-one. I have had lots of expe
rience with good women. I ought to
love them.”
Suddenly Senator Tillman remem
bered that he was ‘talking for the,
public,” and he came back to a --ae !
ticai attitude with a jerk
_
Last Summer I had a severe attack of Inflamma
tory Rheumatism in the knees, from which I wa*
unaole to leave my room for several month*. I
was treated by two doctors and also tried differ
ent kinds of liniments and medicines which
seemed to relieve me from pain for awhile, but at
the same time I was not any nearer getting well.
One day while reading a paper I saw an adver
tisement of S. S. S. for Rheumatism. I decided
to give it a trial, which I did at once. After I had
taken three bottles I felt a great deal better, and
I continued to take it regularly until I was en
tirely “cured. I now feel better than I have for
vears. CHAS. E. GILDERSLEEVE.

ALMOST AS COMMON IN SUMMER AS IN WINTER.
While the damp, cold, changing weather of
Winter intensifies the pains and other disagreeable
symptoms of Rheumatism, it is by^ no means a
winter disease exclusively. Through the long
months of Summer its wandering pains and twitch
ing nerves are felt by those in whose blood the uric
acid, which produces the disease, has accumulated.
Rheumatism is a disease that involves the en
tire system. Its primary cause results from the
failure of the eliminative organs, the Liver, Kid
neys and Bowels, to carry out of the system the
urea, or natural refuse matter. This coming in
contact with the different acids of the body forms
uric acid which is taken up and absorbed by the
blood. This acid causes fermentation of the blood,
making it sour and unfit for properly nourishing
the oody, and as this vital stream goes to every
nook and corner of the body, the poison is distrib
uted to all pars. The nervous system weakens
from lack’of rich, ptire blood, the skin becomes fe
verish and swollen, the stomach and digestion are
affected, the appetite fails and a general diseased
condition of the entire system is the result
Not only is Rheumatism the most painful of
all diseases, with its swollen, stiff joints, throbbing
muscles and stinging nerves, but it! is a formidable
and dangerous trouble. If the uric acid is allowed
to remain in the blood, and the disease becomes chronic, chalky deposits form at the joiuts,
and they are rendered immovable and stiff, and the patient left a helpless cripple for life.
Every day the poison remains in the system the disease gets a firmer hold. The best time
to get rid of Rheumatism is in warm weather; because then the blood takes on new life and
the skin is more active and can better assist in the elimination of the poisons. With the
proper remedy to force the acid out of the blood, and at the same time build up and
strengten the Liver, Kidneys, Bowels and other organs of the body, Rheumatism can be per
manently cured. External applications relieve the pain afid temporarily reduce the inflam
mation, and for this reason are desirable, but they cannot have any effect on the disease.
The blood is poisoned and the blood must be treated before a cure can be effected.
S. S. S., a remedy made from roots, herbs and barks, is the best treatment for Rheuma
tism. It goes into the blood and attacks the disease at its head, and by neutralizing the acid
and driving it out, and building up the sour blood so it can supply nourishment and strength
to every part of the body, it cures Rheumatism permanently.* S. S. S. is the only safe cure
for the disease; being purely vegetable, it will not injure the s\*stem in the least, as do
those medicines which contain Potash or some other mineral ingredient. S. S. S. tones up
every part of the body by its fine tonic properties.
While cleansing the blood of all poisons it builds up the
appetite and digestion, soothes the excited nerves, re
duces all inflammation, relieves pain and completely
cures Rheumatism in every form—Muscular, Inflamma
tory, Articular or Sciatic. If you are worried with the
nagging pains of Rheumatism, do not w r ait for it to be
come chronic, but begin the use of S. S. S. and purge
the blood of every particle of the poison. • Write for our book on Rheumatism, and ask our
physicians for any advice you wish. We make no charge for either.

Gives The Highest Degree of Satisfaction
John W. Shiver, Americut, Ga., writes:—“We are car load buyers of
Wadsworth Paint and heartily recommend it to the trade.” The beat
evidence that Wadswf rth Paint is the beat Paint to use, is the fact that
others have found, and still find, is to give the highest degree of satia
tion. It gives the highest satisfaction because it combines economy,
durability and beauty, the three requisites for the best paint. Therefore,
Wadsworth is the best paint to use.
