Pawnee Bill's Wild West Show, which left Brighton Beach a few days ago because things were too quiet out there, fell in with many different kinds of excitement at Bayonne when the Imsin ss end of the storm that hit j Manhatten picked up the cirrus and tried to move it over to Newark a day ; before it. was scheduled. The fact 1 that there was onlv enough roof to the main tent to cover the seats saved n lots of persons from serious inju- j vies by falling poles, but as it was the ! circus employes had a picnic on their ! hands that necessitated callimr in the I whole Bayonne Police department be- 1 fore order could be restored.

Gentlemen:—S. S. S. is used as a family medicine in our home. I myself have taken and always found it what it !■ claimed to be. It thoroughly cleanses the system of im purities, increases the appetite, improves the digestion, and builds up the general health. I have given it to my ohUflren with fine results. It promptly restores the appe tite and clears the skin of all eruptions. It is a very fin# blood tonic and has my hearty endorsement. 124 S. 9th St., Lebanon, Pa. P. H. THOMPSON Shortly after the show had begun at 2 o'clock rain commenced to fall heavily, which quick! / drove the peo ple from tlie higher tiers of seats. About the time that a couple of tough looking black clouds hat. the circus folks spotted a long way off arrived over Bayonne the real ascension of the tent that covered the hand stand took place. Major Lillie (Pawnee Bill) had just galloped into the arena t the head of a bunch oi Arabs when he saw the band stand go and observed that the members of the band were preparing to follow suit. Pawnee Bill spurred his horse in that direction, pulled out his man-eating 18, and yelled: •Til put a hole through the first man that leaves. Now, you stav there and play the 'Star Spamded Banner’ like hell.” The musicians weren't taking any chances and they nearly blew their lungs out. but by that time every woman, who had one or more child ren with her, was screaming at the too of her voice, while the circus hands were trying to coax them out into the open, where there was such a down-pour of rain that the opposite side of the arena was scarcely visi ble. By this time a cowboy, who had been sent to police headquarters, a block a way. for all the coos that could be found, came back with Chief Yore, Captain Hiley, Detective Ser geant Griffin and twenty-two ordinary policemen. Acting under the orders of Pawnee Bill, who comes from Ne braska, where the cyclones crow, the/ pulled the women and children off the seats, and by forming a cor- f1 '- with the circus employes, they massed the whole 3.000 into the cen ter of the arena, where falling poles and Hying canvass couldn’t touch them. The moment the seats were vacated they collapsed in a hunch. After all the tents had been level led flat as a pancake a number of women began screaming for their children, and in spite of the efforts of the human cordon to control them many broke through and tugged away at the fallen canvass, believing that their little ones had been killed. Chief Yore, feeling certain that all had escaped, ordered the whole crowd shooed over Into the street in front of police headquarters, through which an inch of water was running. There the mothers began to pick out their children, and inside of half an hour that part of the mixup was straight ened out The human panic in the big tent wasn’t a marker to the jamboree in the animal tent. When the stakes commenced to fly and the big tent flopped the horses broke loose and tore awav the fastenin' - - of the tent that covered them. They went off in a hundred directions when the can vass and poles fell on them. The camels all hot-footed off towards Newark Bay and the elephants start ed a foot race in the direction of the Hackensack meadows. The camels got tangled un in the canvass, but fi nally all worked free of the wreck age except a four-weeks-old camel that was horn at Brighton Beach. The baby lay helpless from fright and was square in the path of the main pole, which snapped in two. Half of it caught him and broke his back. While the elephants were passing the dressing tent the center oole fell across the road and came down with a whack on the head of Chief, the biggest of the hunch. The big animal droped on his side and was strug gling to rise when Jack Rittenbeck. the trainer, caught up. The flrst-aid- to-elephant rules require a big inject ion of cocaine into the patient’s jaw. Elephant Jack ran over to his med icine chest, got a foot-long hvpoder mic and Injected a big dose of the stuff under Chief’s tongue. He flnal- 1” arose to his feet and went on after the other four, two blocks away. They were trumpeting for further orders, but quieted down when Jack got in their midst, and went hack with him. Pawnee Bill’s twenty-four cowboys, with their lariats out, went after the camels and buffaloes. The animals would have been in Newark Bav in ten minutes more. They were las soed just in time. A big camel was stepping into the water when Head Co who v Wayne Beasley roped him and yanked him back with such force that he will have a pain in his neck for a long time. The cowboys were still rounding up the horses at a late hour. rf $5 to the party bringing us the Largest Turnip grown from our seed. Go after it. Gaffney Drug Co. No other remedy has given such perfect satisfaction as a blood purifier and tonic or is so reliable in the cure of blood dis eases of every character as S. S. S. It is known as “The King of Blood Purifiers,” and the secret of its success and its right to this title is because “/T CURES DISEASE.” It is an honest medicine, made entirely of purifying, healing roots, herbs and barks, which are acknowledged to be specifics for diseases arising from an impure or poisoned condition of the blood and possessing tonic properties that act gently and admirably in the up-building of a run down, weakened or disordered condition of the system. One of the greatest points in favor of S. S. S. is that it is the only blood remedy on the market which does not contain a mineral ingredient of some kind to derange or damage the system. It is the one medicine that can be taken with absolute safety by the youngest child or the oldest member of the family, and persons who have allowed their systems to get in such condition that most medicines are repulsive to the stomach will find that S. S. S., while thorough, is gentle and pleasant in its action, and has none of the nauseating effect! of-the different mineral mixtures and concoctions offered as blood purifiers. As every part of the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment and strength, it Li necessary that this vital fluid he kept free from germs and poisons. So long as uncontaminated we are fortified against dis ease, and health is assured; but any impurity, humor or poison acts injuriously on the sys tem and affects the general health. Pus tular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections show that the blood is in a feverish aud diseased condition as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison etc,, are all deep-seated blood disorders that continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains. But all blood diseases are not acquired; some persons are born with an hereditary taint in the blood and we see this great affliction manifested in many ways. The skin has a waxy, pallid appearance, the eyes are often weak, glands of the neck enlarged, and as the taint has been in the blood since birth the entire health is usually affected. In all blood troubles S. S. S. has proved itself a perfect remedy ana has well earned the title of “KING OF BLOOD PURIFIERS.” It goes down into the circulation and removes all poisons, humors, waste or foreign matter, and makes this stream of life pure and health- sustaining. Nothing reaches inherited blood troubles like V S. S. S.; it removes every particle of the taint, purifies aud strengthens the weak, deteriorated blood, and supplies it with the healthful properties it needs aud establishes the ^ foundation for good health. As a tonic this ^ great medicine has no equal, aud it will be found RELY VEGETABLE especially bracing to weak, anaemic persons. RLI.T V&UC.IMDL.E. R £ euma £ sm> Cat | rrh> Sores and Ulcer ^ Skin Diseases, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison and all other blood troubles are cured perma nently by S. S. S., and so thorough is the cleansing of the blood that no trace of the dis ease is left to break out in future years or to be transmitted to offspring. If you are in need of a blood purifier get “THE KING” of them all, S. S. S.—and good results are assured. *' Book on the blood aud any medical advice desired furnished without charge to all who write. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC COMPANY, ATLANTA, GA.

News reached here from Soo Chow, China of the birth of Gertrude Gist, a daughter of Prof, and Mrs. Gist Gee. The Hon. C. M. Davis, of Summerton. is quite proud of his Chinese Ameri can offspring, we believe this is his second grandchild born in China. In connection with the birth of Sena tor Davis’s grandchildren in China, we are reminded of a storv told on the son of an American missionary, who was bora in China. The min later brought his wife and son home on a visit, and while at the table of his host at a dinner given in his honor, the father in a teasing way told the other guests that little Johnnie, his son. was a Chinaman. Little John nie resented this by exclaiming: "I ain’t no such thing.” The father ask ed, “Were you not born in China, and doesn’t that make you a Chinaman?” The bov became exasperated at his father trvlng to ‘'low-baH” him in the presence of the assembled guests, hotly answered; "Suppose I had been born in a stable, would that have made me a jackass?” It was conced ed to be a knockout answer, and set tled the question as to nationality. It’s Ilk© finding money not to spec ulate. Even a man who is color blind knows when he’s feeling blue. Are You Administrator and have the settlement of an estate?
