Crippled by-
Rheumatism.
Those who have Rheumatism find
themselves growing steadily worse all
the while. One reason of this is that
the remedies prescribed by the doctors
contain mercury and potash, which ul
timately intensify the disease by caus
ing the joints to swell and stiffen,
producing a severe aching of the bones.
B. S. S. has been curing Rheumatism
for twenty years—even the worst cases
which seemed almost incurable.
Capt. O.E. Hughes, the popular railroad
egndnctor, of Columbia, 8. C„ had an experi
ence with Rheumatism which convinced him
that there is only one
cure for that painful dis
ease. He says: “I was a
great sufferer from mus
cular Rheumatism for
two years. I could get
no permanent relief
from any medicine pre
scribed by my physician.
I took about a dozen bot
tles of your 8. 8. 8., and
now I am as well as I •
ever was Inmy life. lam
sure that your medicine
cured me, and I would i
recommend it to any one'
suffering from any blood disease.
Everybody knows that Rheumatism
is a diseased state of the blood, and
only a blood remedy is the only proper
treatment, but a remedy containing
potash and mercury only aggravates
the trouble.
S.S.S. r Th. Blood
being Purely Vegetable, goes direct to
the very cause of the disease and a per
manent cure always results. It is the
only blood remedy guaranteed to con
tain no potash, mercury or other dan
gerous minerals.

One day when much better she told
her mother of her desire and begged
her to ask her grandpa to buy her
one. The mother answered that
“grandpa” did not like dogs and
probably would not be willing to
buy one. Then seeing the little
invalid look sadly disappointed, she
said: “Wait till you get well, my

“Ob, no,” answered the child,

Daughters of the Confederacy, last
night, the design for the statue to be
erected in Hollywood over the grave
of Miss Winnie Davis, the “Daugh

and approved by Mrs. Davis.
The design, which is by Zalvey, of
New York, is the figure of a.sitting
augel. It is to be of Italian marble
and will be erected by the Daughters
of the Confederacy. Mrs. Davis
writes:
“When I found it possible for this
statue to be erected over Winnie’s
grave, I had feeling nearer akin to
happiness than I had ever known
since her death.”

FAMOUS SHEEP DOGS.
THESE CANINE WONDERS CAME FROM
NEW ZEALAND.
A Batch of Stories, Illustrating the
Rare Intelligence and Faithfulness
of the Animals, Told by an Old
Time Colorado Sheep Man.
“The most celebrated breed of shep
herd dog ever known in the west, ’ ’ said
Jud Bristol, the old time sheep man of
Fort Collins, Cdt>., “were these bred
from a pair of New Zealand dogs
brought to Colorado in 1875. I had
several of their pups on my ranges and
could fill a volume with instances of
their rare intelligence and faithfulness.
“I remember one pup in particular.
He was only six months old when he
was sent out one day to work on the
range. At night, when the herd was
brought up to the corrals, we saw at
once that a part of the herd was miss
ing. There w«*re 1,600 head in the
bunch when they went out in the
morning,but when we put them through
the shoot we found that 200 were miss
ing. The pup was also missing.
“Well, all hands turned out for the
search. We hunted all the night and all
of the next day, and did not find the
lost sheep until along toward night.
But there they were, all herded in a
little draw, about five miles from home,
and there was the faithful dog standing
guard. The wolves were very plentiful
in those days, and the dog had actually
hidden the sheep from the animals in
the draw. The poor fellow was nearly
famished, as he had been for 36 hours
without food or water. From that day
he became a hero, but was so badly af
fected by hunger, exposure and thirst
and subsequent overfeeding and petting
that he died not long afterward.
“This same pup’s mother was an es
pecially fine animal. One night the
herder brought in his flocks and hurried
to his cabin to cook himself some sup
per, for he was more than usually hun
gry. But he missed the dog, which usu
ally followed him to the cabin of an
evening to have her supper. The herder
thought rather strange of it, but made
no search for the dog that night. But
when he went down to the corrals the
next morning he found the gate open
and the faithful dog standing guard
over the flocks. The herder, in his haste
the night before, had forgotten to close
the gate, and the dog, more faithful
than her master, had remained at her
post all night, though suffering from
hunger and thirst.
“On another occasion this same dog
was left to watch a flock of sheep near
the herder’s cabin while the herder got
his supper. After the herder had eaten
his supper he went out to where the
sheep were and told the dog to put the
sheep in the corral. This she refused to
do, and although she had had no supper
she started off over the prairie as fast
as she could go. The herder put the
sheep in the corral and went to bed.
About midnight he wae awakened by
the loud barking of a dog down by the
corrals. He got up, dressed himself and
went down to the corrals, and there
found the dog with a band of about 50
sheep, which had strayed off during the
previous day without the herder’s
knowledge; but the poor dog knew it,
and also knew that they ought to be
corralled, and she did it
“Another good story of this same
dog: One day she was sent out with a
new herder to an outlying ranch some
15 miles distant. That night she came
home, and by her actions told us that
there was something wrong at the
ranch. Well, we mounted our bronchos
and went over to the ranch, and very
soon found out what the matter was.
The new herder was simply a tramp,
who as soon as he had got a good feed
had lit out and left the sheep uncared
for save by his more faithful compan
ion, the dog.
“One time we had a tenderfoot come
to work for us, and the boys had filled
him so full of hair raising stories that
he never went out on the range without
expecting to be either eaten by bears or
scalped by Indians. One day he came
running to the house, all out of breath,
declaring that he had seen a bear. We
laughed at him and sent him back to
the range.
“A few days afterward he came in
again, more scared than ever, and said
it was a bear that time sure. Well, we
took our guns and a foxhound and went
out, and, sure enough, over on a hill
we saw a large black animal. It wasn’t
a bear, but we couldn’t make out ex
actly what it was. We sent the hound
and the shepherd dog that was tending
the herd out on its trail, while we fol
lowed on foot. The dogs chased the ani
mal over he hill out of sight. Soon the
shepherd dog came trotting leisurely
back and took her place with the herd
again. Over in a gulch we found the
hound standing over a dead animal,
which upon examination we found to
be a big black Mexican sheep. Now,
that shepherd dog, as soon as she found
it was nothing but a sheep, had given
up the chase and returned to her flock.
She knew it was not game and of no
account, while the hound had followed
the trail and killed the sheep.”—Den
ver Post.

tells a story of a female Sam Jones,
who is stirring up the people out in

is represented to have said: “There

this hymn book at him.” She raised
the hymn book as if she was going to
throw it and every man in the house
ducked bis head but one to avoid the
book. Then she blistered the
dodgers and lauded the one true
man. It was afterwards learned that
he was deaf and dumb.

THE PROFESSOR’S ADVICE.
It Wan Followed, but It Spoiled the
Next Recitation.
They tell this story of a college prank
the boys at Princeton played on Profess
or “Winky” Young, professor of as
tronomy. His recitations were recently
held the first thing in the morning, and
he had to admonish the students in his
division to correct the fault of tardi
ness, which he claimed was increasing
in a lamentable manner, and when one
of the students explained that they all
studied so late at night they were apt
to oversleep in the morning he kindly
advised them to secure alarm clocks,
which he said were one of the most val
uable and useful inventions
The next day nearly every student in
the class came into recitation with an
alarm clock in his pocket, which by pa
tient and united effort were set so that
one would go off promptly at every suc
cessive minute of the hour. The effect
can be imagined. Shortly after the first
student was called to recite one of the
clocks in the pocket of a boy at the oth
er end of the room went off with a ter
rible clamor, and before it had finished
a second in another part of the room
made even a louder racket
There was a brief interval, which the
professor utilized to call up another stu
dent, but the latter was scarcely on his
feet before the third clock went off. The
performance was continued for half an
hour or more, when the professor, who
had a keen sense of humor, recognized
the situation and cut short the fun by
terminating the recitation The boys
explained that they had followed his
advice and secured alarm clocks, which
they were carrying around with them
because they were likely to fall asleep
at most any time. —St Louis Globe-

Nnbnr Pasha and the Pipes.
Soon after the occupation of Cairo by
the British troops the late Nubar Pasha
took a prodigious fancy to the music of
the Black Watch and had the idea of
having a servant taught the use of the
bagpipes. Nubar dispatched a French
friend, who spoke English very well, to
interview a piper on the subject.
Donald replied “Weel, he micht
learn or he micht no' Bit, let me tell
ye, it needs wind an mickle strength
tae fill the bags o’ the pipes an keep
blawin Sae if yin o’ thae Egyptian
chaps took the job on he’d need tae be
bandaged yin o’ ’
mummies, or maybe he’d burst him
sel’. ”
This conversation was reported to
Nubar, who took the piper’s remarks
seriously So he gave up the idea of
having a skirler attached to his house
hold, as the use of the bagpipes was at
tended with the prospect of such dan
ger to the performer.—Westminster

Hunting in Cuba will be a fash
ionable sport some of these days, be
cause Cuba is a great game country,
and the kind of game found there
gives the best of sport. There are
deer, which come to the edges of the
openings and clearings at dusk and
dawn to feed. Countless flocks of
pigeons and doves bend the branches
of the trees by their weight. There
are long, thick snakes fit to try a
sportman’s skill with a gun or rifle—
snakes that furnish beautiful mottled
skins for trophies. Wild boars live
in the dense wooden brush and it
takes a hardy man to face a wour.ded
one. There are wild dogs, too, and
many birds of the most beautiful
plumage. Wild fowls are found on
all the streams; in the thickets live
large birds, chiefly guinea bene. In

The American Idol.
There is one American hc.ro of the
Spanish war, and only one, who has
escaped criticism and ridicule by his
countrymen.
That man is Admiral George
Dewey, United States navy, the con
queror of Montejo and Manila.
This fact stands out in striking
contrast when the bitterness and
denunciation and strife growing out
of the war is recalled. Where is
n, 'other figure of the war who
has not been harshly and severely
criticized and denounced in some
quarter, justly or unjustly?
Dewey is the only one.
That this man who was advanced to
the rank of admiral of the American
navy without an objection and with
patriotic fervor on the part of the
nation is the one striking and lead
ing figure of the war there is no
question. There is a lesson in the
career of Dewey which will become
important when the history of the
war is finally made up.
No American finds fault with
Dewey; no American would take
from him one flower laid at his feet
by the grateful American public; no
American is jealous and envious of
George Dewey, the greatest hero of
them all.
He is the idol of the American
people.
From one end of this country to
the other, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, through the north and south,
and west and east there is nothing
but honor for Dewey, and patriotic
praise afld expressions of happiness
on the part of the press and people
that America has a Dewey.
Long may the admiral’s flag float
in the bre< ze and arous:- the burning
patriotism and love of the American
people for a real American hero.
Reindeer Herds Increasing.
Rev. Sheldon Jackson, United
States commissioner of education,
has returned from Alaska. The sec
ond week in August he visited the
coast of Siberia, where he secured
over 150 domestic reindeer, and had
them shipped to Alaska to replace
part of the herd taken from Cape
Prince of Wales to relieve the
imprisoned whalers at Point Barrow.
Dr. Jackson is encouraged by the
large natural increase in the Alaska
herd. The Laplanders were estab
lished at Unaliklik. From there
they will be sent to different parts of
Alaska when there is call for their
services as mail carriers. Many of
the Laplanders have taken out first
citizen’s papers.
Tom Blodgett, a self appointed
leader of the republican party of
Georgia, was tried last week in Cher
okee Superior Court in two cases.
He defended himself. In one case
he was acquitted but was found
guilty in the other and fined SIOO
and costs.
There were 500,000 Indians in this
country a century ago; there are 300,-

$9,000,000 a year to keep the remain

Washington as a Business Man.
At the time of his deaih he
was supposed to be the largest land
holder in the country being possessed
of 51,395 acres, exclusive of the Mt.
Vernon estate, his town properties,
and the real estate of his wife. The
value of his property at his death,
again excluding the Mt. Vernon
estate and the property of his
wife, was estimated at $530,000. The
estate at Mt. Vernon included 8,000
acres. In Ford’s “Washington” an
account is given of the stock on the
Mt. Vernon property.
It appears that in 1793 Wash
ington had 54 draught horses on the
estate, 317 head of cattle, 634 sheep
and “many” hogs. The hve stock
was valued at his death at $35,000.
In addition to the draught horses
already mentioned, he had in 1799
“two covering jacks and three young
ones, ten she asses, 42 working mules
and 51 younger ones:” Mt. Vernon
was a community in itself, including
some 300 persons. Washington had
his own blacksmith shop, his own
brickmaker and masons, his car
penters, shoemaker and weavers. We
can readily understand how it was
that while he was president be was
continually thinking of Mount
Vernon.

In view of the fact that it has got
to be a regular thing for wholoai
charges of bribery to be made when
ever a United States Senator is elec

bring about the election of senators
by a direct vote of the people, a pub

equal chance, would be better than
the present system.

How He Did It.
A Sussex laborer who was giyi n<r
evidence in a case of manslaughter,
arising out of a quarrel of two com
panions, one of whom bad been killed
by the other hitting him with his
pickaxe, gave the following lucid
description of the act: “You see,
he pecked he with a peck, and he
pecked he with a peck, and if he’d
pecked he with his peck as hard as
he pecked he with his peck he’d ’a
killed he instead o’ he killin’ o’ be.”
Parsnip Complexion.
It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A phytician would ask if you had rheu
matism, a dull pain or ache in the back
or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire
to urinate often, or a burning or scalding
in passing it; if after passing there is an
unsatisfied feeling as if it must be at once
repeated, or if the urine has a brick dust
deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the
cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of
the bladder, inflammation, causing stop
page, and sometimes requiring the draw
ing of the urine with instruments, or
may run into Bright’s Disease, the most
dangerous stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmei’s Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
such diseases. Its reputation is world
wide and it is so easy to get at any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention the Gaines
ville Eagle and write to Dr. Kilmer <fc
Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample
bottle and book telling all about it; both
sent absolutely free by mail.
