The teachers are devoted to their work and thoroughly competent, and they spare no effort in making the class room a place of interest to the pupil. The school has an excellent literary society. One of tne strongest high school de- hatce 1 ever listened to was one given by the members of this society.

Summer Girls Divide Bsthing Hour:. With Favored Admirers*. Ouc of the merriest frolics the prolific bruin of a flirtatious summer maiden could devise Is upon Asbury Park, N J., says the Philadelphia Inquirer. A delicious subtle danger threatens mer man, and. though warned of his dan ger, yet he will walk gladly Into th> undertow. From time immemorial the ballroom has been the hunting ground of the bt witching Miss Petticoats, and a heav? mortality list is shown by her well till ed dauee programme. Yet despite fem iuiue charms men are not partial t summer ballrooms, and while dancing with another manless beauty a few evenings since a pretty maid in a lr. cal hostelry conceived the "marine hail’*- the division of her bathing hour among favored male admirers, rerun being kept upon a card similar to he; order of dauee. There is a suggestion of French fau- tastieness about the idea. Perhaps i had its origin at the French watering places, but the American girl can be depended upon to round out the idea wl'h characteristic vigor and original ity. The idea is not general property yet by any means, although it promises t.> liecome immensely popular. At the hold enlivened by the graceful pret ence of the dainty damsel who firs; voiced the diversion the following eon versation was overheard recently: “Oh. Marne, who have you given you; bath to this morning?” •Fresh and piquant In her morning gown of figured lawn, Maine glance back from beneath her sunshade and replies: •1 forgot. 1 must look at my book Oh. yes, {'barley Spooner!” “I have him tomorrow, lie isn’; much of a swimmer, but he’s awfully athletic looking, and his hank ro'd Is as big as bis muscle.” "Well, you just watch me capture that six foot life guard at Seventh ave uue. Pm going to make him come out after me tomorrow.” High tide and low tide baths are the most popular, some of the lovely crea tures being forced to make the gentle men draw lots for ten minute sections of them. The high tide requires strong and capable partners, but as there are de sirable men who are not athletic the maidens consult the bathing hour card In making dates. The muscleless but moneyed ones are reserved for a sand promenade or a waist deep dip, end ing with an “honest” plnnge. The more athletic partners are reserved for an out to sea swim and a frolic on the diving raft —When the machinery of the Pore Food tews gets I* operation to the refuse pile will go stack* of ground spices sad flavoring extracts wfclefc ere still being need by the unsuspect ing public. SELF HANGING DEVICE. **s Former Baseball Pitohar Taata New Plan on Nagro Murdarar. To save the nerves of tender hearted officials Sheriff A. C. Gum!*ert of Pitts- burg, formerly a pitcher on the Chica go National league baseball team, suc cessfully put Into use the other day a self hanging device of his own Inven tion. says a Pittsburg special to the Chicago Record-Herald. The device was tried on Dowling Green, a negro wife murderer, who went singing to the gallows. While the deputy sheriff stood on the trap placing the noose about the con demned man’s neck the sheriff stood with a wire held tight in hts hand. The action of the deputy in stepping off the trap loosened the wire, and the weight of the murderer sprung It. Green’s body darted through the opening In the floor of the gallows, and death, the physicians said, was almost instantaneous, the man’s neck being broken. It Is claimed for this device that no one person bears the odium of being a hangman, the condemned man doing more than his part. SURVEYING AMONG PANTHERS Oklahoma Transit Man Saw a Sight That Made Him Gasp. A surveyor employed by the St. Louis, Bartlesville and Pacific Railroad company, which purposes to build a line from Joplin, Mo., to Pond Creek, Okla., saw a remarkable sight through the glass of his transit Instrument while running a survey on Sand creek, fifteen or sixteen miles northeast of Pawhuska, in the Osage Indian reser vation, recently, writes a Blackburn (Okla.) correspondent of the Kansas City Star. The country at that place is broken and Indented with canyons. The surveyor had turned his Instru ment to see the flagman behind him. The flagman was seen plainly, but be yond the flagman about 800 yards was something that caused the surveyor to gasp in astonishment. A large panther at the edge of a small clearing was gazing Intently at the surveyors. Through the glass the panther’s every movement could be clearly seen.

MARIA A SYSTEMIC BLOOD POISON UNDERMINES THE HEALTF- LAYS TbE FOUNDATION FOP. DISEASE Malaria comes from the absorption into the blood of qenn an 1 :a ,. i !>i h which destroy the rich, nutritive qualities of the circulation and i '.;:i <• it to a weak, watery, disease-spreading stream. The healthy color of t!i . a is given to it by the millions of little red corpuscles which are in F I ' > >d. These are the carriers of nourishment and health to all parts of tin-body ; in other words the very life and vitalizing essence of the circulation. The - destruction of these corpuscles by the maki^il poison takes the color from the cheek, and in the first stages of Malarra we have pale, sallow faces, poor appetite, a bilious condition is set up, and we feel “out of ;o-ts ” generally. But Malaria means more than this ; it is a systemic blood p c , »n, which undermines the health and give ; rise to innumerable and sorad imes serious disorders and diseases if the poison is allowed to remain in th - biood. As the blood becomes more and m >re polluted with the malarial poison, the •ligestion becomes deranged, chills and fever are frequent, skin diseases,^ boils and carbuncles, and sores and ulcers break out on the flesh, and after awhile the foundation is laid for other diseases which either prove fatal or permanently undermine and wreck the health. Malaria can only be worked out of the system through the blood. Purging the liver and bowels with strong, nauseating cathartics can never remove the trouble because they do not reach the blood where the germs are constantly multiplying. The only hope for a cure is a remedy fiat can destroy the germs and microbes, and neutralize the bad effects of the poison, and S. S. S. is the medicine to accomplish this, because it is a perfect blood purifier and a general systemic remedy of unequalled value. S. S. S. searches out and removes every trace of the n and puts the blood in such rich, healthy condition that sallow, anaemic complexions take A A the ruddy glow health, the ^ W W and digestion are righted, the appe tite improved, the system vitalized and strengthened, and every symptom of Malaria passes away.g Malarial persons will find S. S. S. not only a prompt remedy but a gentle, pleasant act ing one, as well as a certain cure for this disease. Besides removing the cause of Malaria S. S. S. builds up every part of the system by its line tonic effects. Persons living in a malarial section should, at this season, fortify their systems against this insidious disease by purifying their blood with a course of S. S. S.
