Exclaim thousands of people who have taken Hood’s Sarsaparilla at this sea- son of the year, and who have noted the success of the medicine in giving the relief from that tired feeling, wan- ing appetite and state of extreme ex- haustion after the close confinement of a long winter season”, the busy time at- tendant upon a large and pressing business during spring mOnths and with vacation time yet some weeks distant. It is then that the building-up powers of Hood’s Sarsaparilla are fully appre- ciated. It seems perfectly adapted to overcome that prostration caused, by change of season, climate or life, and while it tones and sustains the system, it purifies and vitalizes the blood.

It Embraces the Most Uncompromulrig Set of Detectives Known. The merest shadow of suspicion is all that is necessary to land some unfortu- nate in prison. Nine-tenths of these suspects'are as innocent of the crimes attributed to them as a citizen inthis far 0E country. But that makes no diflerence. If the Russian police, arrested guilty peOple only there would be many empty prisons in the Cafe domain. Innocence counts for naught when brought face to face with the Third Section. Much has been written about the Third Section, but no complete story of its organization has ever been told. Even the cleverest and most relied upon detectives in its employ do not know the real facts of the matter. Americans who have lived in the principal cities, and who have written about it, have only been able to obtain the barest skeleton of its formation, but that is as much as any one knows. Secrecy and mystery form its foun- dation. How many men compose the force is unknown. They may number 500, and possibly 50,000. The section includes men placed in every walk of life, from the humblest t0 the most powerful, the artisan and the diplomat. the high army officer and the common soldier, the laborer and the society man, the merchant and the thief. In every big city the world over are men of the Third Section. They are in New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, and all the large towns of the country. They swarm in London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Constantinople and the great capitals of Europe. The cities of Asia are full of them. Those in the Russian cities have no regular hours for reporting for duty, as is the case with members of the detec tive force in the ordinary city“ They are on, duty all the time. Few of the agents know each other. This is re- garded as a great advantage. An agent could be in the company of nine other agents, and not one in the group of ten would know that he was in the presence of fellow Officers. Their superiors con- fer with them in secret, and they never meet at one place. It is an everyday occurrence for an agent to turn in a. re- One more. Popular Excursion hasl port accusing another agent 0f suspi- cious conduct. The latter is simply following up some case, and the other, not knowing him to be a. secret officer, makes his report. So elaborate, com- plete and extensive is this organized spy system that little goes on that does not reach the ears of some official. Promoted. “Give me a definition of bimetal lism,” said the professor. “From what point of view?" asked the wise student. “What do you mean by that?” de- manded the professor. “I mean to ask whether you want a gold or; a. silver definition,” responded the student. “There is a vast difier- once, and I’m no mind reader.,’ Then the professor was so pleased with the pupil’s wisdom that he put him in the next higher class, where many thoughtful young men were struggling with eight conflicting defini- tions Of “sound money.”—Chicago Evening Post.

"—Washington Star. Timely Resistance. V There is one kind of courage much needed among us. and which is happily on the increase, that of resisting those social Observances which have ceased to bring either pleasure or profit to those who maintain them. They are often defended on the ground that if not use ful they are at least harmless; but this is only a. plausible delusion. Whatever fails to bring good of any sort forfeits its right to exist. If, in no other way,. it is injurious by simply - obstructing the path, which, if left clear, might be put to some worthy use.

As I sat on the veranda of the villégé tavern and looked about me I» thought it one of the most peaceful towns I ever saw, and said as much to the Justice Of the Peace who occupied a. chair beside me. “Yes, purty peaceful, but—” he re- ..plied as his right hand “,went slowly back to his pistol pocket. “But what,” I asked. “But you don’t want to mix in when it comes off. Yo’r best way will be to go through that door and up stair, and don’t come down as long as yo’ hear any shootin’.” ' “But, I don’t understand you, Judge. » "Is there to be any shooting around here?” "Sartin’ to be I” “But what about?” “Wall, he drawled, as he pointed down the street, “d’ye see that onery hawg wallerin’ in the mud down “131‘?” “Yes, I see a hog." “He belongs to Sam Batterson, the cooper, and Sam feels mighty tender towards that hawg since hiswife died. Now, then, d’ye see that pesky dawg up the street by that shade tree?” “Yes, I seahim.” “He belongs to Joe Stivers, the bar. uses maker, and he thinks l0 much Of him that he makes his children sleep on the floh [that the dawg may have a feather bed all to hisself. In about five minutes that pesky dawg will sight that oneriI phawg and thar’ll be a big r0w.’_,;' J‘Ths dog will pitch into the hog, you mean?” , “Sartin' to.” “And then—” . “And then Sam Batterson will pitch inter the dawg, and Joe Stivers will pitch into Sam Botterson, and the fust thing yo’ know the hull town will be pitchin’ inter each other. As I said befor’, yo’ had better keep yo’r eyes on that doah onless yo’ want to mix 111.?! “But Judge, why should a little scrap between a hog and a dog lead to i! "Thar goes that pesky dawg!” he ex- claimed, as he sprang up and started down the steps, drawing his pistol as he went. I made for the door and the stairway and reached my rooni. The shooting opened lively, and was well sustained for about ten minutes. When it ap— peared to be over I descended to the veranda. The Judge was just coming up the steps from the street. He had- his hat in his hand and there was blood on his cheek where a. bullet had grazed it. “Wall, it’s all over till next time!” he remarked as he sat down and examined his pistolto see how many cartridges, were left in the cylinder. “Anybody killed?” I asked. “One or two, I reckon, and three or four hurt, but it don’t begin to be as lively as usual. The pesky dawg was shot, however, and now Joe Stivers will be layin’ fur Sam Batterson every day in the year, and thar’ll be no ‘end of public enthoosiasml”—Detr0it Free Press. Cuba’s Fair Amazons. - The women of Cuba have always. had the reputation for being beautiful, but this is true only in a modified way. Out- side Of Cuba they would not be consid- ered handsome according to American standards; but in her own fair home, Where the tropical setting necessary to make the picture perfect is a} most ideal, the Cuban lady is bewitch- ingly charming. She is a product of her own tropical island. and one must see her with her natural surroundings to appreciate her grace of form and features. She has an exquisitely moulded form, which is always set off to the best possible ad- vantage by the thin, gauzy garments that cling in graceful folds from her shoulders and waist. Her face and features are small and regular, with a full red pair of lips, small mouth, rounded cheeks and small white, even teeth; her hair is always black and abundant, waving in tangled masses down her shoulders, and her eyes, Oriental in shape and splendor, are always expressive, glowing and sparkling when animated, and soften ing into tender, bewitching smiles when pleased.

The time was spent chiefly in a struggle over the governorship, resulting in the nomination of Robert E. Lewis of Henry county on the sixth ballot. This was a serious defeat for the Filley faction. The platform adopted approved every plank in the St. Louis platform, indorsed the nomination of McKinley and Hobart and deplored the comm unistic tendencies of the Democratic party and its reflections on the highest judicial authority and censure of the federal government, which should be disowned by all friends of law and or- der. Tampering with the ballot and the gerrymandering of congress and senate districts were denounced. Florida’s Democratic Electors. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. July 735.-—Th8 four Democratic electors in this state are gold standard men. They were chosen before the Chicago. convention, and since that ' body acted have made no announcement regarding the platform. This condition of affairs causes the silver Democrats to fear that perhaps they cannot trust the electors to vote for Bryan, and they threaten to make other nominations. Such a split would give the Republicans hope of carry- ng the state.
