A good story, -ays ’Waverly’ j Magazine,
is told of a minister who, after a protrac

had hi tea great abundance the gift of
continuance, rose and remarked: "Let us
now sing hymn number so-and-so, ‘And i

ot the?? perfectly impossible days, which
daunt even the dauntless. It was in March
and after a heavy snowfall a warm thaw

The slush was more than ankle -deep, over- ■

equally futile. The paster and bis wife 1
and eight valialnt women assembled for j
the meetiing and struggled bravely for
cheerfulness. The minister hurriedly
chose a hymn and they surrounded his
desk and began to sing:
■Savious, visit thy plantation;
Grant us, Lord, a glorious rain!
They gat through the first three verses,
but on the first line of the fourth, “But
a drouth has since succeeiitd.” the fresh
young voice of the pastor's wife, who was
the leader, wavered and stopped. It was

istics about most people which cannot be
laid aside, and these are usually looked for
in the police circulars by those who are on ;
the alert for the .fugitive. One of these '
circulars describes a runaway thief, giving
all point-1 as to age. bright, complexion,
eyes, etc., and contains also tins remark
“Walks with head (iov*:; and long stride;
talks always in a deep, coarse tom- and '

this information. “He will apply for work

A man who was once well known in so- ■
rial and financial circles 1-1 the city where

long circular which contains also a well !
executed portrait cf the fugitive: ”hn has
the ways of a gentleman While sitting
ho often places one foot under tlio chair.”
Among the hundreds who are spoken of !
in the circulars Ihe following is a sample i
cf the “easy” kind, because the fugitive I
can by r.o means conceal his identity i
“His r.cuth is a slit in his face. Has no
His cars have no lobes He drags
his feet when he walks and lias great dif

Good=Bye,
Rheumatism.
The Right Remedy Will
Banish it Forever.
It you would forever be rid of
the aches and pains, and some
times the tortures produced by
Rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who con
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The doctor’s treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensify the
disease, causing the joints to stiff
en and the bones to ache, besides
seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism is a disordered state of
the blood, and the only cure for it is a
real blood remedy. Swift’s Specific (S.
S. S.) goes down to the very bottom of
al! ckseases of the blotxl, and promptly
cures cases that other remedies can not
reach.
Mr. E. K. S. Clinkenbeord. a promi- j
nent attorney of Mt. Sterling, Ky.,
writes:
“Two-years ago J was a great sufferer'
from Rheumatism. I had tried every 1
remedy I could hear of except S. S. S. I
I had been to Hot Springs, Ark..-where
I remained for twelve weeks under
treatment, but I experienced no perma
nent relief, and returned htOne, be
lieving that J would be a sufferer as .
long as I lived. At a time when my
pains j were almost unbearable, 1
