His father had been for twenty-seven years en- gaged In a suit in chancery and had Just gained his cause. The expenses of the suit, however, had swallowed up the entire estate, the residue being merely 3s. 6d. The writer says: My father ranged the seven six- pences on our breakfast table. “My boy,” said he, “see what comes-| of going to law in Great Britaln! Your mother has told you that I have won my suit in chancery?” “Yes, papa.” “Well, then, look! That s all I get of it,” and he pointed grimly at the sixpences. 2 1 opened wide my eyes. “All you get of the whole suit?’ I echoed with a puzzled air, convinced that a suit in chancery was composed, as other suits are, of a coat, walstcoat and trousers. “Why, papa, those are only the but- tons!” It was this deplorable joke that earn- ed me my sixpence, for my father, laughing, tossed me one across the ta- ble, and I rushed off with it like a dog pelted with a bone. The Blacksmith’s Sleeves. An aged woman was standing before & beautiful picture of a blacksmith in 8 local department store. The picture was a remarkable painting and had evoked so much praise that hundreds of visitors thronged around it. The figure was that of a village black- smith standing at his forge, which was blaging with a light that flluminated the whole room. The woman came to the canvas with several younger wom- en, apparently her children. All stood with rapt attention before the work of art, contemplating the light effects and the beautiful shadows. One of the younger women asked of the elderly one what she thought of the picture. “Well, it's all right but the sleeves,” she replied. “I lived in the country a long time, and I know something that the painter with all his knowin’ didn’t know. That blacksmith’s sleeves are rolled out. ' Now, they don’t wear them that way. A blacksmith always turns his sleeves in so the flyin' sparks won't catch.”—Indianapolis News. A Friend In Need. Immediately after the earthquake in California in 1806 relief stations were established in San Francisco and Oak- land. Supplies poured in from neigh- boring ranches, other towns and other states, but almost all that was sent needed to be cooked before it could be eaten, and of course in many instances homeless wanderers were in immediate peed of food. The volunteer cooks did the best they could. They boiled great kettles of soup, caldrons of coffee and oceans of tea, but it was impossible to cook. rapidly enough to supply all com- ers. Late one afternoon when the cooked food supply was running low and a long line of hungry persons still walted to be fed a wagon halted before one of these stations, and a bluff old ranchman addressed the lady in charge, ’ Bay,” eaid he, “T’ve brought you 300 ! | a Contingent fee. “I do not deslre em- dozen of the best eggs in the state, but 'ployment in professional matters, al- you won't need to cook them. They're alresdy cooked. I've been bolling eggs since 8 o'clock this morning.” Earthquake Pranks. Hindustan has had many important geological changes effected by earth- quakes. In 1762 Chittngong was vio- lently shaken, the earth opening In many places and throwing up water and mud of sulphurous smell. Then sixty square miles of coast suddenly and perm:ently subsided, one of the Mug mouutains entirely disappeared, and another sank so low that only the summit remained. At the same time a corresponding rise of ground took place at Ramree, an island farther along the coast. Again, at Cutch, in 1819 the fort and village of Sindree were submerged, and about five miles distant a long elevated mound was ralsed, measuring some fifty miles by sixteen in places, out of what had been a perfectly level plain, Two Definitions. In illustrating a point a lecturer told of some woman who spoke of her ‘worse half as “a model husband.” “Yes,” commented an old Irishman who knew the husband better than she did, “he is all of that. But look at the dictionary and ‘see what a ‘model means. It is defined as a ‘miniature imitation of the real thing.'” The lec- turer also told of the same Irishman’s definition of the world repartee. Said he, “It is the saying right off of what you think of the next day.” The Contingent Fee.

PURIFIES S. S. S.THE BLOOD As every part of the body iIs dependent en the blood for nourishment and strength, it is necessary that this vital fluid be kept free from germs, impurities and poisons. As long as it remains uncontaminated we are for- tified against disease and health is assured ; but any humor or impurity acts injuriously on the system and affects the general health, or culminates in some special blood disease. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections show' that the bl is in a feverish and 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 diseases that continue to grow worse as long as the impurity or poison remains in the circulation. Some persons are born with an hereditary taint in the blood and we see the effect manifested in various ways. The skin has a pallid, waxy appearance, the eyes are weak, glands in the neck often enlarged and usually the body is not fully developed or strong, because it has always been fed on weak, impure blood. In aliblood troubles S. S. S. has provec{ itself a perfect remedy. 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 S. S. S.; it removes every patrticle of taint, urifies and strengthens the wealk, deteriorated blood, supplies it with the gealthful properties it needs and establishes the foundation for good health. Rheumatism, Catarrli, Scrofula, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Contagious Blood Poison and all blood diseases and disorders are cured permanently by S. S. S. Itismade entirely of roots, herbs and barks, and is the K_h:g' of all blood purifiers.
