Inherited Scrofula. Swift's Specific (8. 8. 8.) cnred my little boy of hereditary scrofula, which broke out all over his face. For a year he hud anflerel, tnd I had given up nil hopes of his recovery, when at length I decided to use S. S. S. Af ter using a few bottles he wan entirely cured. Sot a symptom now remains of the dieate. This was three rears n(co 1IUS. T. L. MA'TUUo,Mather8ville, Mist. ME In the early part of 1 ant year I had s vio lent attack of rheumatism, from w-liirh 1 was con fined to my hed for over three months and at times was unable to turn mynclf in tx'd,oreren raise the rover. A nurse had to be in constant attendance day and niifht. I was so feeble that what little nourishment I took had to be Riven me wiih a spoon. Af ter calling in the best local phvsirinns. and trying all other medicines without receiving any benefit, I was imlui ed by friends to try Swift's Seciflc (8. 8. S.) I discontinued all other medicines, and took a course of S. s.s. thirteen small bottles, which allected a com plete and permanent cure. L. C. BASSET, El Dorado, Kansas.

AN EVENTFUL DAY. 'It's tlmse worn out shingles mi the roof," said Mrs. Eiarrv in the melnnchoh half whine which was habitual to her. "The ruin leaked in on the hoarder's bu reau all iiit;ht long, and she says she won't May hero if Hhe isn't to be properly protected against the elements." Janie lieil the last puce colored tulip to its stake and straightened herself up. "Who is to do it?" sighed Mrs. Barr. "Anil if Mrs. Lopell goes away what shall we do about the interest on your father's old note?" "She won't go away, mother, never fear," said Janie, brightly. "Don't fret. You'll Bee that things will come out right." "But the shingles must be fixed right away, said Mrs. Harr. "They shall be lixed, mother." said Janie. "Who will do it?" impatiently repented the widow "1 will!" said Janie. 'That's all nonsense." groaned Mrs. Harr.' I'jt Janie bud never been more seri ously in earnest in all her life. Mrs. liarr went to the parish sewing society that afternoon. ('ol. Addison, from the Valley hotel, win was paying his addresses to Mrs. lipped, tb" boarder, came with a spirited Iiui'mc ami a buggy to take her to the sea beach. Now is my time," said Janio exult antly to herself. Hut Mrs. Lepcll camo back before she had got twenty-rive yardsaway from the house. "Janie," she said, "I forgot, to tell you that I left my three-diamond rings in the little left hand drawer of the bureau. I might lose them in the water. I thought 1 would tell you in case of lire, you know, or any other accident." "Yes,'' said Janie, "but there won't be any accident. Mis. Lepcll laughed, and ran back to the carriage and the impatient colonel. Ami not until then did Janio perceive that a tall, half grown lad, lurking be hind the porch rails, was waiting to speak with her. "Who are you?" said Janie. briskly. "What do you want? No, we haven't any old clothes. If you really want work, you had better go on to the new buildings, about a mile up the roud. 1 dare say they can find something for you to do there." The lad mumbled out something, whether thanks or otherwise Janie could not discriminate, and shullled away. And our heroine, slipping on her hat and bulling the front door, ran across the back meadow to Jack Parson's car penter simp, some quarter of a mile by the wood path. "1 want a few shingles," said she, "and a pound of shingle nails." "What lor?" said Ralph. No matter." calmly retorted Janie. She noddi-d good-by , and hurried away under the canopy of pink apple blossoms. Ralph looked admiringly after her. "She's a regular clipper of a girl, that Janie Harr!" said he. "If ever I'm able tosiippiirta wife, that will be the one I'll ciu.nse. Li.rht as a thistledown, Janie hurried back witli her precious bundleof shingles, and the pmiihl of nails in her pocket. "Now l il show bim whether 1 can mend the roof or not," she said, as, with a himim'T added to her stock in trade, the ascended to the garret and climbed the odd little ladder that led up through the rusty trap door to the steep roof. The slant was abrupt, the old shingles were wet with the recent rain and slip pery with green moss incrustations, but Janie liarr was not one lightly to bo dis couraged, anil presently she found her self neal ly balanced, with her feet braced against the board gutter, one elbow lean ing on the roof, and the hand busily tearing away the old shingles and re placing them deftly with overlapping rows of new, fragrant wood. The click of the hainmer. the ring of the nails was like music in her ears. Suddenly, how ever, as she sat perched like a squirrel on the slanting roof, the sound of voices struck on her ear. She paused to listen. "Three diamond rings! I heard her say so herself In the left hand drawer of some bureau," said the same accents which half an hour ago had asked for her charity. "And no one but a woman ill the house." "Sure of that?" said a deeper voice. "Yes, plum sure," was the answer. "And I wouldn't .wonder if thero'wore other things for the picking up." "Come in, then," said the other one, ' and step lively. We ran't stand here jawing all day. The door is bolted, is it? Wait a minute; I've got a little joker here as would start any staple this side of Denver." Janie had listened in breathless hor ror. In an instant, as it were, she com prehended the full danger that menaced Mrs. Lepell's treasured gems the three diamond rings that the boarder had once told her .ere worth thousands of dollars. Anc here she was alone and helplvssl The Power Of Ink. "A small drop of ink. falling, like dew. upon a thought, proclaims that which makes thousands, iwrliajis millions, think," wrote Hvron. The inspiration ol his pen might give the dusky fluid such n fnr-renching power, and we wish we were possessed of such nn inspiration, that we might, through n like medium, bring into such extended notice the matchless virtues of Dr. Tierce's Pleasant Purga tive Pellets, those tiny, sugar-coated granules which contain, in a concentra ted form, the active principles of vegeta ble extracts that Dame Nature designed especially to promote n healthy action of the liver, stomach nnd bowels. The favorite string instrument of a Bostonian String beans. Hurriedly she turned over the crisis in her mind. If she were to re-enter the house by the same way in which she had left it she must certainly meet the ruf fians, and any resistance which she could offer would be speedily overpow ered. Janie Bs.it was not one to hesitate long. While the thought yet careered through her brain she Bprang down the eaves into the blooming boughs of the great cherry tree which grew so close to the Iiou80 tha' its branches scraped the roof on windy Marcli days. It was a hazardous thing for any one to do who was not swift of limb and ac curate of eye, but Janie alighted like a ciit in the fork of the tree, climlied light ly down until she reached the lower bough, and thence leaped breathlessly to the ground, springing swiftly across the meadows to Ralph Parsons' carpen ter shop. "Janie, what is it?" Ralph Parsons himself rose up out of the green hedges, directly across her path. "I was drinking at the ice cold spring,'' he said, "when I heard your footsteps. "What is it?" She told him the trouble as well as she could for excitement und breathlessness. "Come," she cried. "Odo make haste!" He paused only to blow a small willow whistle which hung on his steel watch guard. "That will bring my workman," he said. "Its a signal we have agreed upon among ourselves for just such an emergency as this. Y ou and Jones, Janie, shall go around to the back door, Robins will watch the front and I'll go and throttle the fellows." Janie glanced with shy admiration into his set, determined face. After all, it was something to be a man. The little campaign was skillfully con ducted. The two thieves were taken red handed; the diamond rings were deliv ered into Janie Barr's keeping, and the rulhans were dragged to the nearest jail. "O, Ralph," said Janie, when all the little crowd was gone, "how can lever thank you? "By letting me put on those shingles for you, said he. "I can't," said Janie, laughing and blushing. "They are put on already. But I'll promise you my next job of car pentering." "Will you let me be your carpenter always, Janie?" he asked. "Will you promise ono day to be my wife?" The words had risen almost involun tarily to his lips as he held her hand in his the words he so longed yet dreaded to speak. And Janie hung her head and colored like a carnation, and said, "She would see." And Ralph Parsons knew that he had won the day. Mrs. Harr and the boarders were alike amazed when they returned home. "Our Janio to circumvent a gang of burglars," said tho proud mother. "To save my three diamond rings," hysterically cried Mrs. Lepell. "But that isn't all I have done, moth er," said Janie, laughing. "1 have shin gled the roof. And I have promised to marry Ralph Parsons next spring. Upon the whole, I think it has been rath er an eventful day, don't you?" True Flag. A Chlmpaur.ee's Jkn. In a recent lecture M. Romanes is re ported as having strongly denied the ex istence of even a trace of any feeling of the ludicrous in the renowned chimpan zee "Sally." It may be worth while to record a 6mall fact observed by me lately, tending, I think, to favor an op posite view. Being alone with a friend in Sally's house, we tried to get her to obey the commands usually given by the keeper. Tho animal came to the bars of the cage to look at us, and, adopting the keeper's usual formula, I said: "Give me two straws, Sally." At first she ap peared to take no notice, although she had been eying us rather eagerly before. I repeated the request with no further result; but on a sec ond or third repetition she suddenly took up a large bundleof straw from the floor and thrust it through the bars at us, and then sat down with her back to us. Our request was perhaps unreason able, seeing that we bad no choice mor sels of banana with which to reward her. She did not, however, seem ill tempered at our presumption, and the next instant was as lively as ever. It seems to mo that her act ion on this occa sion certainly camo very near to an ex pression of humor. Rather sarcastic humor perhaps it was, but she certainly appeared to take pleasure in the specta cle of something incongruous, and this surely lies at the base of all sense of the ludicrous. Nature. A Valuable Timepiecn. Chief of Police Packard, of Hartford, Conn., carries a watch that is indeed a novelty, as well as a valuable timepiece. Without opening the watch, the time of day or night to the minute can be ascer tained. By pushing down a spring on the outer edge of the case, the hour is given by the striking of a miniature gong, as are also the quarter hours and minutes. If, in the night, the owner wishes to know the time, it is learned in a very few seconds, and is found out in this way: If it is six minutes to 3 o'clock, one of three little gongs will strike two; two gongs then strike alternately three strokes, each giving the three quarter hours, and another rong strikes nine two hours, three quarters and nine min utes, making the exact time six minutes to 8. The chief said that eleven years ago the watch would cost $1 ,200, but at the present time the watches are sold for (150. Boston Herald. Wanted A Rook on Peerage Apropos of much that has appeared about the Duff family, a book which re mains to be written is a genuine and true history of the p-erage of the United Kingdom. The large volumes of ro mance and fiction styled "Peerages," at present circulating in the kingdom, are completely ridiculous and thoroughly misleading.
