PURHY VEGETRBLE Not only is a medicine valuable for its ability to cure disease, but the way in which it affects the system is a very important factor, When the system is infected with the germs of disease as in Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, S.ores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Contagious Blood Poison, ete., every particle of its recuperative strength is needed to assist in eliminating he poisons and impurities which are causing the trouble. It should not be osed and treated with strong mineral mixtures and concoctions that furthes add to the burden, by disagreeably affecting the bowels, producing indiges- tion, or eating out the delicate linings and membranes of fbe stomaeh.: The absolute vegetable purity of S. S. S. has always been one of the strongest points in its favor, and is one of the principal reasons for its being now the most widely known and universally used blood medieine on the market, 1t is made entirely of healing, purifying roots, herbs and barks of the for- ests and fields. These are selected ior their well known curative properties, and are known at the same time to possess the qualities to build up and strengthen every part of the system by their fine tonic effect. Not only is §$. S. 8. the king of blood purifiers, but it is the one medicine that may be aken with absolute safety by young or old. We guarantee it non-injurious and offer a reward $1,000 for proof that it contains a particle of mineral in any form. 8. 8. 8. is a safe and reliable treatment for Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Contagious Blood Poison, and an and all diseases arising from a poisoned or impure state of the bioo£ 1t goes to the very bottom of these troubles, removes every trace of disease, enriches and builds up the blood and permanently cures where mineral medicines fail.

SWEET Copyright, 1506, by Framk H. Sweet in’ to town, Sairy?” And Farmer Lish}Hopkins paus- ed at the door, his shoul- ders still humping for-a posltion inside the coat that was beginning to strain Beross the back. “Suit ye to a T, hey; wouldn't it, Sairy?” “Well, no. I don’t guess so today, Lish,” was the placid answer. “It's ben my bakin’ day, an’ now I've got to black up the stove an’ wash the floor. Ye'd have to walt too long for me to it ready.” “Oh, I don’t mean today!” with a grin. “I mean move up for good an’ all. Bell the farm an’ be town folks like the best o’ em. I'd go into busi- ness, an’ ye'd be so ye could have com- p'ny an’ see somebody most every day. I guess we could stand up straight with ’em, hey?” His wife gazed at him blankly for a moment, then dropped upon a chair, her favorite mode of expressing aston- ishment. “Ye don’t mean”— “Yes, I do mean jest that! I've been thinkin’ on 't for considerble of a spell, an’ that letter from Hiram Pot- ter out west sayln’ he’d made $40,000 merchandisin’ clinched the rivets close up. I've been a fool, Sairy.” “I dunno, Lish. Folks round here say ye've done well.” “Well,” he snorted, with profound self disgust, “for farmin’ round here, mebbe. I've cleared off the mortgage an’ put $1,000 in the bank an’ got to- gether a pretty good head o’ stock, but Dve been twenty years a-doin’ it, Sairy, twenty years, an’ I've worked like a dog sixteen hours a day an’ more. I ‘wan’t goin’ to miss anything for lack o' hard work. No, siree. An’ now there's Hiram, who wan't thought nigh so smart as me at school, an’ Reuben BSmith, who keeps the hotel over to the Corners, an’ Nathan Taylor, who sells us groc'rles, an’ others. All of ’em have been wearin’ good clothes right along an’ takin’ money over thelr coun- ters in handfuls, an’ when there was offices . an’ honors to be given it was them as was went to.” He drew his cap a little lower down and his collar a little higher up and peered at her through the narrow slit as though expecting some comment, “Sult ye to a T, hey?” he repeated. She nodded reflectively. “I dunno but ’twill,” she conceded. “I'll miss the chickens an’ butter- makin’, but they be work, an’, then, as ye say, I can see somebody most every day. N-no. I guess I won’t mind.” “Course ye won't,” he declared. “We'll be town folks an’ will have to put on our best bibs an’ tuckers every @ay. Ye'll sot on a stuffed cheer talkin’ to comp’ny an’ takin’in money,an’in the evenin’s there'll be a lot gathered round my store talkin’ politics an’ things, an’ they won’t cost me a cent for entertain- ment, like visitors gener’ly do, but will be bringin’ me In more money.” “Ye don’t suppose there’d be no hitch "bout—'bout ye doin’ It, Lish?” she in- quired. “Hitch ?’—indignantly—"“when Hiram an’ Beuben an’ Nathan have all done ft an’ made money! Well, I guess not. But I'll go an’ look round some. Folks in town are gener’ly protty keen scent- ed on money, an’ if they git wind o’ my needin’ a house to live in an’ ‘a gtore to. merchandise in they might think rents ought to be a little higher. Tl look round sort o’ casual. But ye're sure ye favor the idee, Sairy? I don’t want tp go into nothin’ that ye couldn’t smooth down. to.” *“Oh, I'll like it all right,” she said placidly. “Pm sure to. Ye needn’t bother, *bout that, Lish. I've always hankered to shop without elimbin’ in an’ out a waggin. Ign too hefty. An’ say, Lish,” raising her voice as he opened the door and let in a rush of afr-end whirling snow, “be sure an’ beat ‘em down some.” It was late in the evening when he returned, but from the way the wagon rattlad by the house and the unneces- sarily loud “Whoa!” which came to her ‘when it reached the barn she felt that something - momentous had happened, and this feeling was made a certainty when Lish flung open the door and she saw him trying to straighten his face into an expression of indifference. “Bupper ready, Salry?” he demanded airlly. “I swan, I'm most starved!” “Ye know it's ready, Lish,” she said quietly. “It always Is at 7 to a minute. You know it's been gettin’ cold jest an hour an’ a half. So ye've hired a place?” “Ye ain’t wuth a cent for news, Sairy,” he grumbled. “Ye either scent 1t out milles ahead or take it all for granted. I'd as soon have a stick to tell samethin’ to. How'd ye know I've hired a place?” “Goodness land,” scornfully, “It's stickin’ out all over ye, Lish! I knowed 1t by the way the wheels went round ‘Wwhen ye went by.” *Dont suppose the wheels told ye what place I hired an’ how much I'm to pay an’ when we're goln’ to move? heastred. “No,” she confessed, “‘exceptin’ they s2id ye was conslderdly set up, an’ I Oggered from that ye'd got the old store stand. That’s the biggest in the best part o’ the town, an’ the only one I know on as betn’ ity Just now.” Lish chuckled. ““Wheels are mighty onreliable things to go by,” he declared, “though I dld hint sort o’ casual 'bout that very iden- tcal 'store. But, law, they ‘wanted $60 & month for It, much as I'd think the place could be wuth for a whole year. 1 Jost laffod. Then I found Wood & Co.'s. dry goods store would be empty the 1st of April, an’ I went an’ looked that over. The drug store folks said their place bein’ on the corner made it yaluable, an’.as Wood & Co. was right the middle of a block I figgered it might be cheap enough to walt for till April. But I didn’t look round much. When they. sald $50 I jest turned an’ walked oft.” % He stretched himself more comforta- 8bly acros$ the chairs and chuckled it} g t g agaln. “Good thing, though,” he went on re- flectively. “It set me to lookin’ round, Now I've got the nicest, quletest an’ best place In the whole town, ’cordin’ to my notion. There’s big shade trees right in front, an’-there ain’t no rush an’ rumblin’ o' people an’ waggins. Customers can come in an’ go out easy an’ comfortable-like without no dan- ger o' bein’ run over nor nothin’. We can almost make believe we're livin' in the country; Sairy; an’ the best of it is I only pay $10 a month. Deacon Rounds wanted $15, but 1 beat him down to $10. Ye see, he built the place two years ago an’ has never been able to rent it.” “Deacon Rounds’ store. Ain’t that consider’able way out?” B “Qaly three streets. Buyers ’'ll be glad to come that fur jest for the quiet an’ comfort'bleness o the place. Why, ‘we have to go eight miles for our gro- C'ries an’ things. No; it's a bargain, Sairy. Squire Brown's goin’ to take the farm an’ stock jest as they stand for $8,500. He'll be out tomorrow with the papers. Then we'll move right off. I want to open the store next week.” Her eyes widened a little at this. ' “But ye ain’t got no stock nor noth- in’ yet, Lish,” she said. He rubbed his hands gleefully. “That's all fixed, too, Sairy,” he beamed. “I done a gist o’ ‘bizness up there. Some folks ’d 'a’ took two days for it an’ then thought themselves smart.. I had figgered on havin’ to go to the city an’ mebbe payin’ as much as $25 for car fares an’ expenses that ‘wouldn’t turn me in a cent, but a feller that was showin’ samples to Mr. Wood follered me out, an'—an'—well, he got: the whole thing from me an’ is comin’ down next week to show us samples.” “I g'pose ye talked it over with Nathan Taylor fust?” she asked. “He's AT FIRST THEY WERE DELIBERATD IN THEIR BUYINGS. done bizness there the heft o’ his life an’ could tell ye consider’ble. An’ he’s your own fourth cousin an’ a school- mate.” Lish snorted. “Nathan Taylor! Huh! Don’t s’pose he’s goln’ to encourage opposition, do yo? I did speak to him a little, an’ he advised me to take the drug store stand; said It was at the best part o’ the bizness street an’ on a corner an’ that the exira trade would pay the big rent a dozen times over. The ideel I seen in a minute what he was arter. Long’s I was bound to go in, he felt the faster I rushed through the money the quicker I'd git out. Why, jest one year’s rent would take half a quarter of all we've got! . An’, more'n that, he. gald I'd better be pretty careful how I left things to them drummers an’ that I ought to go up to the city :an’ hunt round through the stores fer jest the things I needed an’ the best prices. But he didn’t say a word 'bout the $25 or more expenses. that wouldn’t turn me in a cent. Oh, no! He even hinted I'd better hire a bright young man with experience to help in the store.” The next week the drummer was as prompt as his word and came down with an extensive assortment of sam- ples. An entire day was spent with him in the big, empty store, which Salry had swept and scrubbed with her own hands. At first they were delib- erate and circumspect in their buyings, Sairy being for ordering a dress pat- tern from this and that, a few yards of one ribbon and another, a piece of braid or a cake of fancy soap, and.Lish for breaking dozens and dlviding the boxes and packages. But after the drummer had repeatedly assured-them that they ‘were purchasing to fill a store and not for their own immediate necessities for a few months ahead they grew bolder and yet bolder, and finally, when a pas- slon for buying had begun to possess them, they ordered from everything shown and toward .the end recklessly. After It was all over and the drummer had left they drew long breaths and looked at each other curiously. “We’ve bought a sight, Lish,” Sairy faltered. “I should say so,” rubbing his chin thoughtfully. “More’n was ever put into a store at one time betore, I guess.| But it's bizness,” brightening up some. “As the feller said, we can’t open a: store with a yard o’ ’lastic.” ~I¥o, 1 §'pose not. But how mucn ao ye think we got, Lish?’ her face still anxious. “I dunno,” he confessed slowly, “an’ ain’t even an idee. I tried to go slow at first an’ keep count, but I got off the track. Mebbe a thousand, two thou- sand, three thousand, though ’tain’t likely so much as the last. We've nev- er bought more'n $20 or $30 worth at a time before, an’ it's hard to guess. But $2,000 or $3,000 is good for a mighty big plle o’ stuff.” The second day the goods came down In boxes and barrels and kegs and bun- dles and in great square cases that re- quired two men to roll from the freight platform into the wagon. Lish hired a team and a man to help and did all the hauling himself. The next morning the bill came. Lish opened and looked at it eagerly, then drew a long breath and rubbed his eyes and looked at it again. He selzed his cap and jammed it vi- clously upon his head and left the store. The village bank was upon the principal street, and the cashier was an old friend. It was upon this bank that Squire Brown had given him a check for $3.500. The cashier happened to be alone. By this time Lish had regained con- trol of himsell. Slipping the Involce into his pocket, he drew out the check +and placed it in the cashier’s window. “Td ltke that cashed, Mr, White,” he sald, “an’ I want to borry $800 more. Ye know I'm good for It, an’ anyhow there's stock enough in the store.” “Oh, that’s all right, Mr. Hopkins,” laughed the cashier. “I never knew the time when your word:wasn’t'good for $600. But how happens it you need more just now? You. were-telling me the other day. that you only Intended to put half the-money"into'goods now anid hold the rest as a reserve.” Lish grinned ruefully. “I guess I wan’t much used to buy- in'” he confessed. “Look here.” He produced the invoice and spread it out in the window. The cashier look- ed it over curiously. “I don’t know much about this line of goods, Mr. Hopkins,” he said at length, “but it seems to me there’s a good many things here that won't find much sale. Now, this six dozen door- bells, for instance.” “The drummer said they were good sellers,” ventured Lish, “Well, perhaps they are,” acquiesced the cashier. “Of course I don’t know. But about the $600. If I were you I wouldn’t hire the money just yet. Drummers have prices that are sup- posed to cover a generous system. Didn’t your man say anything about e “He said I could have thirty or sixty days’ time jest as well’s not, but I told him I'd ruther pay cash.” *Very good, provided you have the money to pay and also provided he al- lows you .a falr discount for paying it. You'd better wait and find that out. Send the firm what money you have and let the six hundred go untll the:rdrummer comes round again. You may take in enough by that time to pay him. At any rate, find out his discount for.cash, and, 1f it's more than our interest, come to me 8nd I will let you have the money. Only don’t hire unless you're obliged to.” One morning & fow weeks later Nathan Taylor entered the store. Lish was look- ing over his account book, kept with a lead pencil in much the same manner as he had jotted down items while on the farm. Bairy was at another counter, en- &aged in rubbing her hand back-and forth 2cToss a new piece of velveteen which had Just been taken from the case. Nathan said, “Good morning,” and then paused and glanced critically about the store, with evident disapproval in his eyes. “You've done just what I was afraid of, Lish," he said, at length. “A third of thé s won't sell in all the world. That llow was too slippery and has loaded You with a lot of unsalable stuft.” Beveral times during the spring .and summer Lish was sorely .pressed for money, and more than opce he started to the bank, but each time. he -turned back before reaching there. But the end did_not come until another winter, just one year from the fime he had left the farm. Then one day a tall, strongly built man in a heavy coat strode into the room. “Hlisha Hopkins, I suppose?’ he Inter- rogated. “Yes. What can I do for ye?” The man did not answer. Taking a pa- per from his pocket, he unfolded it delib- erately and read in a slow, ponderous ‘voice for several minutes. Then he looked at the startled figure behind the counter. “Going to pay 1t?” he asked.- “Can’t jest now,” Lish answered weak- 1 suppose so."” He walked to'the coun- ter and held out his hand. ' “I may as well take the key,” he sald. Lish nodded toward the door, from the lock of which the key had not been re- moved. The sherift went and took it out and then held the door open significantly. Lish realized that it was for him to go out, How he stumbled across the room and out into the snow and across the yard %0 his own house he scarcely knew, only that it was a feeling of thankfulness that Sairy had not happensd to be in the Bhe was bending over the stove when he entered and sank heavily into a ohalr. “Goodness land!” she exclaimed, sud- denly straightening up. “What is the Lish?" matter, “Nothin’ "—drearily—*“only the sheriff’s :g:xr'me store an’' shet me on the out- *What?* BShe came quickly to his side end placed a hand upon his shoulder. “For money?’ “Yes; twelve hundred.” “An' can't ye pay? “No. - An’ if I could there's most an- other twelve hundred that'll be asked for soon ’s this is known. Mebbe I could raise it all to the bank”—slowly—"but I @Gunno 's I want to. I'm gettin' tired o the whole thing.” "But the goods are wuth more'n what ‘we owe, ain't they?" “Twice as much, ‘cordin’ to what we paid, but there ain't no knowin' what they'll - fetch to auction.. Not more'n enoughito pay the debts mebbe.” Bh4 was silent for some minutes, looking down at him.. "The man B8quire Brown rented ou farm to has moved gway,” she sald at last hesitatingly, “an’ I hear the squire ‘wants to rent ag'in.” Lish looked up quickly. “An’—an' wouldn’t ye mind goin’ back, Salry?’ he asked. ‘Mind?” she asked: *“‘Oh, Lish, I never id really want to leave the farml!’ He rose sturdily to his feet. ““Then we'll go back,” he declared. And there was something that was almost. gladness ‘in his face. "I know how to run 8 farm, an’ tryin’ to keep a store.'s & dog's life anyway.” Mountain of the 8acred-Footprint. Adam’s peak, or Mount Samunala, a rugged mountain in the island of Cey- lon, is known throughout the orient as the “Mountain. of the Sacred Foot- print.” In a flat, rocky basin:at the foot of this mountain in stone as hard as blue granite there is the perfect im- print of a gigantic human foot, five and one-half feet long by two and one-half feet wide. The Ceylonese Brahmans have a legend to the effect that the im- print was made by Adam, our first par- ent, but the Buddhists declare that it could have been made by no one but Buddha.
