Two Diseases That Cause Their
Victims to Be Shunned by

GENTLEMEN: I commenced taking P.
-P. P., Lippman's Great Remedy, last
Fall, for Erysipele 8. My ’face was com-
pletely cove1 ed with the disease; I took
a sl1o1t course of P. P. P. ,and it soon
disappeared This Spring I became
much debilitated and again took an-
other course, and I am now in good
condition. I consider P. P. P. one of
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those who need a gen-
eral tonic to build 11p the system and.
improve the appetite I consider that it.
has no equal. Will say, anyone who
cares to try P. P. P. will not be disap-
pointed 1n its results, and I, the1efore,
cheer fully recommend it.

HE oasw THE LINEJV

and Ask ed the Court for a. Divorce From
His Loving Wife.

An attorney from {"North
told this among a good many
professional experiences:

“Though our mountain people are
not educated, no Yankee can beat them
in a dicker or go after a dollar with
greater avidity A rich young fellow
from our place went up among them
for a time to take on some health, and
while there paid more attention than
he really meant to one of the few
beauties that live there. She was a
creature of magnificentproportions,
naturally brilliant, and as relentless of
purpose as any moonshiner that ever
went after a revenue officer. She
sought to recover $10,000. for breach of
promise, and I had the young man’s
case.

“On the trial the girl made a star
witness. ‘Vhen I asked her point-
blank if he had ever proposed to her,
she replied that he‘ had not, in so
many words, but his every action,
look, even his tones, were a proposal.
She admitted that she had not gone
into a decline because Of his incon-
stancy, but graphically pictured
months of agony, unrequited longing,
and wounded pride. It looked bad for
us.

“At this stage of the case a tank six-
footer from the mountains came tome
and whispered that he wanted to be
called as my first witness. I'Ie stern-
ly refused to answer questions till 011
the stand, but reckoned that his word
was good that he would pull the
young fellow through.

“All I ever asked him was his name.
and you couldn’t have stopped him
with a gun. He was the girl’s hus-
band. He had married her a week af-
ter the young man left the mountains.
He had consented to her bringing the
suit in her maiden name, and saying
nothing about her being a wife. ‘But
if it’s so,’ he roared, ‘that she's been
a mournin’ an’ a pinin’ an‘ a dyin’ af-
teh this heah dude critteh, I ask th’
cow’t fuh a divo‘ce.’

The girl rushed to his arms. She
sobbed that she never loved another.
The case was won for me, but the
young man never goes to the menu-
tains or makes any‘miscellunenus bc-
stowal of his affections.”—Detroit Free

A Bloodhound’s Keen Scent.

A remarkable exhibition of the keen;
ness of scent of the bloodhound was
given at the little town of Bronson, in
Allen county, the other day. The town
recently appropriated $100 out of the
city treasury for the purchase ,of one
of these animals, the purpose being the
detention and capture of thieves who
were operating in the neighborhood.
and a test of the hound was considered
desirable. At noon three men started
out on foot and walked four miles into
the country. Then they mounted
horses, and by a circuitous route re
turned to the town. Six hours later
the hound was permitted to smell a
glove which had been worn by one of
the men, and the next instant, with a
deep howl. he caught up the trail and
followed it on the run. At one point
the men had walked for thirty yards
on a fence, and when the bound came
to this point he carried his nose along
the rail with hardly any reduction of
speed. Coming to the place where the
men had mounted, he took up the trail
of the horses and followed it into
town. where in a crowd of more than
100 men he picked out the one whose
glove had been given him to smell.—

Tennyson Needed His Pipe.

Max Muller,- in his reminiscences of
I‘ennyson, says the poet wanted thaw-
ing out—had to be “smoking a pipe.
sipping whiskey and wate1"’~before he
was genial. Once he summoned all his
will and pitched his pipes and tobacco
out of the window. “For a day he was
most charming, though somewhat self-
righteous. The second day he became
very moody and captions; the third
day no one knew what to do with him.
But after a disturbed night I was told
that he got out of bed in the morning.
went quickly-into the garden, picl-sed
up one of his broken pipes, stuffed it
with the remnants of the tobacco scat-
tered about, and then, having had :1
few puffs, came to breakfast all right!)
again. Nothing more was said about
giving up tobacco.”

Got 2. Check By Flood.

A unique freak of the Kentucky
flood came to light the other day. A
hex coniaining some valuable papers
was found floating in the river.
Among the papers was a letter ad-
dressed to Judge W. S. Pryor of this
city from a Bell County man, con-
taining a check for $100 for legal ser-
vices. The letter was turned over to
Judge Pryor, who placed the check to
his credit in the bank. The box had
been washed out of the office of the
County Clerk of Pineville, which was
recently inundated by high water, and
had floated a distance of over 300
miles—Cincinnati Commercial Trib-

the Divorce Disease Attacks the: South.

The rapid increase in the number of
divorces in the South is the cause of
apprehension. It is in the memory of
persons not much past middle age
when a suit for divorce in Georgia. was
a rare thing; now they come in
swarms, scandalizing society, creating
the impression that there has been a
distinct decline in the social purity of
our people.-Atlanta Journal.

A Betrayal of Confidence.

“W by did you break off with Amy?”

“She betrayed my confidence. I sent
her a poem o1i her ruby lips and she
turned it over to her father, who used
it. for one of his soap ads.”—Philadel-

HIS GRANDMOTHER’S GIFT.

The Colonel Learned that “He Win:
Laughs Last Laughs Best.’ '

Men who have reached exalted po
sitions in life should never forget that
otheis are strgu gling along the sums
path that they have traveled with
more or less pain, and should show 5
little indulgence; but whether treating
a strugglcr favorably 01' unfavorably.
it is always best to be cautious. Prob;
ably a well-known Colonel in Berlin
seriously thought of this after a certair
little mistake he made at a state ball

A young Lieutenant who wore a sin-
gle decoration. a large badge richly set
with diamonds, attracted the Colonel's
attention, and in a supercilivous mun-
ne-r he asked:

“Young man, what is that decora
lion. "’ ’

“A11 01 dc1 Colonel,” replied the Lieu
ten. 1.1t
“An order?

"It. is an English order, Colonel.”

“Oh, yes, yes; but who ever gave it
to .you?"

“My grandmother.”

“Your grandmother!” And here the
Colonel burst into a fit of laughter that
lasted a couple of minutes.

During the interval the young Lieu-
tenant, unabashed, stood calmly by,
looking at him.

“But—cr—young man, what is your
grandmother’s name?” finally asked
the Colonel.

“Her Majesty, ‘ Queen Victoria.
Queen of England,” replied the young

_ Carrying Out Instructions.

There was a young man whose social
education had been somewhat neglect-
ed, and it chanced that he received an
invitation to a church wedding.

The morning of the ceremony found
him quite excited, and he started for
the church some time before, as he
would have said, “the show was billed
to come off. ”

Under his arm he carried a small
bundle, and before he had proceeded
far he met a friend.

“Hello,” said the friend, “and where
are. you going all dressed tip at this
time in the morning?“

“Wedding,” answered
man briefly and proudly.

“Indeed? Going to do some errands
on the way?”

“Certainly not.”

“But you’re not going to a wedding
with a. bundle under your arm?

the young

“Of course I am. That’s my pres-
ent.”
“Present! But you don’t take your

present with you, man. You send it
beforehand.”

“That's all you know about it. I've
got a card right here in my pocket,
and the card says, ‘Present at the
church.’ "—Boston Budget.

. A Deal Failure.

A certain professor in one of the
leading schools of Nashville was not
long since desirous of incorporating
some negro dialect in a story he was
preparing. Not being very well versed
in the manner of speech, he bethought
him that. it would be a good idea to
study the language in its purity unde-
filed. \ “'ith this end in view he betook
himself to the vicinity of the union (le-
pot, near wnicl‘. representatives of the
ebon race are always to be found.

One effort was enough. Meeting a
coal-black negro driving a wagon
rather v. ell loaded, and uccosting him
as “Uncle John," the following brief
dialogue ensued:

"Pretty heavy load, uncle.
get up the hill with it?"

“I do not know, sir, but I presume
so."-

Such an example of pure and unde-
filed English coming from such an 1111-
expected source almost. paralyzed the
professor, who muttered something
about “the degeneracy of the modern
negro," and mentally deciding to con—
sult the works of “Uncle Remus,” he
retraced his steps to his apartments.—

Georgia's Cotton King.

James M. Smith of Oglethorpe, Geor-
gia’s greatest farmer, has just broken
all records of cotton ’sales from a sin-
gle plantation by selling to Macon cot-
ton-buyers in one lot over two thous-
and bales of cotton of his own raising.
The cotton was sold on a basis of sev-
en cents for middling. and when it is
all weighed and shipped Mr. Smith will
receive a check for about $70,000. This
would be a tremendous crop, even if
Mr. Smith raised nothing but cotton,
but when it is remembered that he
grows similarly large crop-s of grain
and hay, and that cotton is his surplus
money crop after producing all the pro-
vision- crops he needs, tl1..n one can
grasp some idea of the scale on which

Colonel Smith farms, and see the jus-

tice of calling him Georgia’s cotton
king.”

TALK THAT WAS NOT CHEAP.

Long-Distance Telephones Rather Expen

A Rochester manufacturer droppec
into :1. long-distance telephone oflim
yesterday afternoon and told tht
young woman in charge that he wished
to talk to New York. Thereupon 111
was promptly connected and at one
proceeded to talk. He talked quite 2
little while. Then he had an after
thought and talked again. Then thl
man in New York thought of some
thing and the Rochester man talked
some more. Outside the booth twt
men were pacing the floor, one 01
whom wished to have his canal boats
lying in the slips at Buffalo painted
and the other was anxious to react
the head of the great salt industry 01
Syracuse. They paced with more 01
less patience while the Rochester mat
talked. At last the door opened and
the ‘talker emerged.

“How much do I owe?” he asked 01
the girl in charge.

“Are you aware," she said, “that yet
have been in the booth for some
time?"

"Oh, yes," he said. “I suppose youi

‘Vash Your Eyeglasses.

Spectacles and eyeglasses are as
much benefited by a bath new and
then as people are, said a well known
Optician. It is strange how many peo
ple there are who think'that theii
glasses only need an occasional wip
ing. Now, the fact is, glasses require
actual baths as frequently as does the
ordinary person. The process is as
simple as you want to make it. My
plan, however, is to take the glasses
to a wash bowl and give them a. good
soaking in warm water.
soup freely and rub it off by the use
of a soft tooth or rail brush. After that
give them a polish with any of the usu-
al tooth powders, and then clean them
with tissue paper, which is much bet-
ter for the purpose than Chamois skin
or any thing else that I know of.

The ordinary cleansing is allvright
as far as it goes, but it is not sufficient
Many persons have done great injury
to their eyes by neglecting to properly
clean their glasses. I have had a num-
ber of patients come to me with com-
plaints about what they called gradual
diminution of their sight. 1: A‘n exami-

RAISING CORN FOR FUEL.

011 the Prairies of the Northwest it Prove!
Economical. .

The long.» cold winter of the north-
west section, particularly of the Da-
kotas and Eastern Montana, has de~
veloped many new ideas in regard to
where the future supply of fuel for the
prairie farmer and other individuals oi
that section must come from. and ii
is now quite definitely settled that such
supply sooner or later must be raised
upon the farm, for the farmer whc
does not own any timber finds that his
fuel in one winter is a very costly item,
wood being anywhere from $6 to $8 a
cord. When the farmer lives away
from the timber belt the supply must
come by rail, 'whether he purchases
wood 01' coal. Both are very expensive
and this year fe'w farmers have ready
money. In fact, large numbers ol
1‘11 run-1's cannot afford barely enough
fact to keep their houses in a send
carrzfortable state.

as does good hardwood. and it lasts
nearly as long. The muxhnum limits.
however. would be far better than any
results yet obtained, as the methods of
burning it are as yet very crude.
There can be no doubt. however. that
inventors will be equal to the emerg-
ency and in due time create 11 nearly
perfect corn stove or special furnace
which will answer the usual require-
ments. As soon as this is do-uet :11111-
.rs and others who are prepared to
take advantage of the benefits may cul-
tivate their own fuel on their own land
and probably save 50 per cent by doing
so. Two tons of corn would be equiva-
lent to about one cord of hardwood, if
the corn were burned economically,
and corn for fuel would not need, by
any means. the care that it would
when grown for food.

fori‘nerly existing against the use of
grain i'u-r 1‘: e1 are fast dying away. for
the pool h are realizing that grain is one
of nature‘s fuels, and was intended
1301 that purpose as well as to use as a
cereu 1 product. Could the people use
wood or coal for food there is not
much doubt that they would do it, but
as they cannot they hat’e no scruples
of conscience about burning either. So
will the cereals be regarded when
every value is extorted from them.

 

 

Petrified Cut: Flowers.

Cut flowers petrified by a process
which preserves their color and then
embedded in a hard, transparent sub-
stance, the composition of which is se-
cret, are now used for decorative til-
ing on flooring, says an upholsterer.

A material has been discovered, com-
bined with a p1ocess, which is the in—
ventor’s secret, for completely hard-
ening, and, so to speak, petrifying nat-
ural flowers (and, What is more won-
derful, preserving their c0101s),and

A Veteran flunk. .

The oldest book in the world to
which a positive date can be assigned
is an assortment of proverbs, some-
what after the style of the proverbs
collected by Solomon. The Work is ac-
credited to Ptahhotep, an Egyptian
king, and Egyptologists assign to it
an antiquity of at least 3,000 B. C.

Abraham was callcd to leave his
home in Ur of the Cheld'ees 1921 B.
C., so that this volume was written
1100 before the beginning of Jewish
history. The Deluge is placed by most
chmnologis-ts at B. 0. 2348, so the
book, if its‘dating is correct, must have
been written before the flood.

Methuselah was born B. C. 3317, so

these proverbs were collected when the
oldest man on record was a lively

A CHURCH BUILT IN A DAY.

The quick Erection of the Building Dun
to a Series of Revival Meetings.

'A church with a seating capacity 01
3,000 persons, heated by three furnaces
and lighted with electric lamps,~was
built between daylight and midnight
Saturday, at Ravenswood, and was
dedicated at 10:45 o’clock Sunday
morning.

The contract for the church was
closed at midnight Friday. The first
lumber was hauled to the site at
3 o’clock Friday afternoon, and men
began stringing electric light wires
from a plant two miles away. At 5
o’clock Saturday morning tea men
were put to work, and as fast as ma-
tenial enough arrived the number of
workmen was increased till there were
nearly 200 men engaged on the struc-
ture. At 5 o‘clock Saturday night the
walls of the building had been covered
over for the church women of Ravens
wood to begin decorating with dogs
and hunting.

The nearest electric lighting plant is
two miles away from Ravenswood. It
was necessary to string electric wires
leI the distance to keep the contract.
The linemen started to string wires at
the some time that the first load of
lumber was dumped on the ground.

A few workmen were busy for an
hour and a half on Friday afternoon,
pivpatiu I: the ground for t 1e building,
and. 11 M1 that cxcc' 1tio-,n the r. 01k was
all done Saturday. Over 50,000 feet
of lumber was hauled to the site, and
was used almost as fast as-it was un‘
loaded. ,

The muse of this rapid wo1k was
owing to a series ofrevival meetings
held in Ravenswood and no churchf
large enough to hold the crowd—Chi-

laid awake planning how to get as far
as Chicago with that amount ofcash.
I bought a cheap sample ease, marked
the name ‘Joh-n Duncan, No. 113 War-

cards with the name and address on
printed, wired a friend to telegraph
to have me shipped home, if he re-

him if I got very sick before reaching
Sacramento to have the conductor

“I heard the porter .tell the con-
ductor about the telegram, then two
doctors in the train came and began
to work with me. They said 'I could

where I figured up and found that I
had gone from San Francisco to Chi-
cage, consumed about $10 worth of
good liquor, and 'had $2 left out of a
