ORUTCH-BOUNP
The man with the crutch never fails to arouse the deepest sympathy and
I awaken the tenderest emotions of his more fortunate fellow being. The haggard
1 countenance, swollen joints and twisted and deformed limbs tell a pathetic story of
\W| suffering such as Rheumatism alone can inflict. Only those who are painfully
JJu I and slowly hobbling through life can fully realize what it means to be crutch-bound,
//u They feel most keenly their helpless and dependent condition when it dawns upon
J] A them that they are no longer workers but unwilling drones iu the busy world.
@ f Rheumatism should not be neglected because the pains at first are wander
\ iugand slight. These are only the rumblings of an approaching storm of pains
\ and aches that may transfer you from a life of activity to the ranks of the crutch
g bound cripples.
Rheumatism is due to acrid gritty particles being deposited in the joints,
muscles and nerves by an impure and too-acid blood, and the strongest constitutions or mus
cles of iron and nerves of steel can long withstand these corroding poisons. They penetrate
to every fibre of the body, and no liniment, lotion or other external application can reach
and dislodge them.
Finally the natural oils are consumed when there
is a creaking, grinding noise with every movement of the
limbs, the joints become locked and immovable, the mus
cles wither or contract, the nervous system gives way
and the patient becomes a physical wreck and crutch
bound cripple. Rubbing with liniments may produce
counter-irritation and afford temporary ease, but they
cannot reach and destroy these corrosive particles, which
are daily forming in the blood.
The correct treatment the true cure for Rheu
matism — is a remedy that will dissolve and wash out
this inflammatory matter and expel it from the system,
and no medicine does this so promptly and thoroughly
as S. S. S. It neutralizes and eliminates from the blood
current all poisonous, noxious substances and makes the blood pure and strong again and,
as it circulates through the body, all effete matter is gathered up and sent out through the
proper channels. This rich new blood cools the feverish, throbbing muscles and joints and
refreshes the tired nerves, and welcome relief comes to the wretched sufferer.
S. S. S. contains no Potash, Opium, Anodyne or mineral of any description, but is a
Guaranteed Purely Vegetable Compound. The strong minerals that are usually prescribed
in Rheumatic cases act very injuriously upon the lining
of the stomach, causing inflammation and a most dis-
S. S. S. not only purifies the blood, but at the same
j 1 j time invigorates and tones up the whole system, increases
the appetite, strengthens the digestion and restores the
rheumatic sufferer to sound health again.

LITTLE BEN AGAIN.
His Comical Version of the Cow
in Your Neighbor’s Field, in
Rebuke of the “No*
fence” Law.
Editor News-Gazette :—\V<>ll,
we have not troubled you much
with our “seribs.” The extreme
cold weather in December last and
the wet weather since has been so
severe on ns, that we have had to
“hunt for cover.” But we are
looking for spring time to open on
us now and our thoughts turn to
farming.
We farmers have a varied ex
perience : sometimes wet; some
times dry; sometimes cold; some
times hot and sometimes amusing,
though it may be iritating. For
instance, a farmer has been out
all the morning on a hot summer
day, hoeing his cotton patch. Be
fore noon, he is tired and hot, and
concludes to go to the house and
rest awhile and to cool off, ready
for dinner. As he walks along
across his field, in that sun, lie
hears a voice; hello! He stops,
looks around, and away over on
the next hill he sees Farmer B.
standing under the shade of a tree
with his hat in one hand and the
other hand leaning against the
tree. It is hot weather, and he is
in his shirt sleeves. Farmer B.
Hello's to Farmer A. “Your old
cow has broke out, and she’s down
there in my corn!” Farmer A.
looks down on the ground and be
gins to ruminate about the advan
tages and disadvantages of tin'
no-fence law, and finally, he con
cluded that something must be
done, and that quick, and al
though he is tired and hot, he
starts off down that way where
that cow is. He takes particular
pains to walk away ’round that
cow, so as to get her between him
and the lot. He comes up to-
ward her from the far side, and
says: “Haie there.” The cow
throws up her head, with her
mouth full of his neighbor’s corn,
looks wild and begins move off
in a fast walk, all the time keep
ing her eye on Farmer A. Farmer
A starts across to head that cow,
lie gets his foot tangled in the pea
vines and down he comes, spraw
ling, and before he can get up,
that cow lias swept by him in a
lope, right contrary to the way
he wants her to go, and soon stops
and goes to lapping in another
mouth full of his neighbor’s corn.
Well, by this time Farmer A. is
hot all over, but he gets up and
THE BARNESVILLE NEaVS-GAZETTE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1902.
hurries on over there where that
cow is, and just as he gets there,
that cow breaks off again in the
wrong direction, and stops away
over in another neighbor’s cotton
patch.
Well, by this time Farmer A.
I has about worried himself down,
and he begins to soliloquize, thus
ly:
* “Talk about dignity, pomposity
and cool-headedness, while trying
to head a cow. 1 never did like
this no-fence law, no way, there
isn’t a fence anywhere now to
stop that cow, and I can’t head
her without help; she won’t hurt
that cotton much. She’ll just
top it a little, and it ought to be
topped anyway.”
So he leaves that cow there,
topping his neighbor’s cotton, and
goes off to get help. He soon
comes back with help and a rope,
and they surround that cow, and
after considerable heading and
hemming, they get a rope on her
horns and lead her off home.
Then Farmer A. says: “Why
didn’t I think to bring that rope
at first;” when the truth was, lie
hadn’t been in fifty feet of that
cow and couldn’t have roped her
by himself if he had carried it.
’ All this is a part of learning
how to farm.
When 1 go after a cow now, 1
always take help and a rope. It
is the best way.

“My little boy took the croup one j
night and soon he grew so bad you '
could hear him breathe all over the
house, “says F. D. Reynolds, Mansfield
(). “We feared he would die, but a few
doses of < hie Minute Cough Cure quick
ly relieved him and he went to sleep.
That’s the last we heard of the croup.
Now isn’t a cough cure like that valua
ble?” One Minute Cough Cure is ab
solutely safe and acts immediately.
For coughs, colds, croup, grip, bron
chitis and all other throat and lung
troubles it is a certain cine. Very
pleasant to take. The little ones like
it.

Many Peas are Purchased.
A novel sight was witnessed in
Barnesville last Friday when fif
teen two-horse wagons, heavily
loaded with peas, drove up to the
side door of J. W. Stafford A Sons,
here to be unloaded. There were
more than three hundred bushels
and they brought $1 per bushel
spot cash. The peas are to be
shipped to St. Louis and New
Orleans. This speaks well for a
community where usually cotton
is the only product that com
mands spot cash. It means pros
perity among the farmers.
Helpless From Rheumatism.
I was terribly afflicted with Rheumatism
for eighteen months, and during my sick
ness tried the skill of many good physicians,
all of whom pronounced my case hopeless.
I was for a year in such a helpless condi
tion that I was unable to dress or feed my
self. X had filled at different times, fifty
two prescriptions suggested by friends,
none of them giving me any relief; I final
ly decided to try S. S. S. and took the first
dose while hobbling about on crutches.
After taking two bottles I found so much
relief I was able to relinquish the use of
one crutch, and a faithful continuance
of the medicine relieved me of the other
crutch and shortly afterward enabled me
to go to my work, atwhieli I have been ever
since. I have had no return of any symp
toms of Rheumatism, although this was
seven years ago. Yours very truly,

CHEAP STATUETTES,
HOW THEY ARE MADE, HARDENED
FINISHED AND COLORED.
Itn liun* From Tuscany Excel thr
World In Their Production—'Th
Demand For These Casts That
Comes From Our Schools.
While it Is not difficult to secure good
American workmen for carrying out
schemes of Interior decorations, it is
impossible yet to get native born men
capable of modeling statuettes and
busts such as are sold on the street
corners and in many of the art shops.
All the workmen employed in factories
that produce these are Italians, chiefly
from Tuscany. This is equally true o(
those who follow this trade in Ger
many and France. The Tuscans ap
pear to have a natural ability for that
sort of work that has given them tin
monopoly of it.
The great majority of these busts and
statuettes are copied directly from the
originals wherever they happen to be.
and then the molds are made from that
copy and sent to all parts of the world,
the statues being east in the place
where they are to he sold. In the lar
ger shops In New York city, however,
a certain amount of original work is
done in order to keep pace with t_e
popular demand for representations of
the hero of the hour. A great many of
our most distinguished poets, authors
and statesmen whose busts are exposed
for sale on the street corners never sat
for those portraits. Some workman
modeled the head after a photograph
and occasionally has produced such
good work that it Is almost a pity the
sculptor’s name should remain un
known.
The chief purchasers of these easts
from the larger makers are the high
schools all over the country. They de
mand, of course, not only classical sub
jects and copies of nncient bas-reliefs
and architectural details, but also busts
of famous men and women from every
period of the world’s history. Such a
wide range of subjects is covered by
this demand that seven and eight thou
sand titles are included in some of the
catalogues issued. The factories where
these figures are turned out exhibit in
their showrooms an assortment and
confusion of time, place and nature be
wildering to look at.
The process of Casting these statu
ettes is a comparatively simple one
when the mold is once completed. The
material used, plaster of parts, is
cheap, and a very excellent quality is
produced in tills country. When the
statuette comes out, it Is pure white
and covered with ridges made by the
different sections of the mold. These
ridges are carefully removed, and then
the east is placed iu an oven heated at
about 180 degrees. After it has been
baked for a certin length of time It is
plunged into a solution of stearic acid
and kept there until thoroughly satu
rated. Then, when It has dried, the
yellow color Is gained by applying to
the surface a solution of beeswax, tur
pentine and coloring matter. This color
will not wash off. and, of course, any
shade can be produced at will.
“The demand for nude statues In the
art schools is growing less every year,”
said one of the largest makers of these
! casts. “That is because people are
realizing more and more that artists
I must draw from the human figure it
i self if they wish to understand the
j human form. We get more orders now
for draped figures in the art schools
1 and for busts in the high schools. Uii
! til very recently the busts of most of
the celebrated Americans which wc
sell had been made in Italy from pho
tographs sent over from this country,
and many mistakes occurred In mat
ters of detail, like the cut of the coats
and collars. We are trying to do these
now In a more modern and characteris
tic way and occasionally have been
furnished with photographs by their
families.”
The statuettes which are carried
about the streets wrapped In harmoni
ous yellow tissue paper or are display
ed on the sidewalks or on the steps of
unoccupied houses are inuue by quite
a different set of manufacturers. The
larger dealers do not sell to these street
peddlers at all. The peddlers have their
own little workrooms, which furnish
them with their stock at u much lower
rate than the regular dealers charge.
No originals are made In these ateliers,
and most of the molds are gained by
taking them from a cast bought from
some other firm. The stearic acid bath
is left out of the process, and conse
quently the color of these cheaper
works washes off.
The peddlers of these statuettes stand
In about the same relation to sculptors
and sculpture that the band organ play
ers do to music and musicians. They
reflect fairly accurately the popular
taste, and. according to their testi
mony, it Is the Tanagra figurines that
In the long run sell the best of al! their
stock. From time to time there is a
market for the bust of some particular
man, and those sales are always tem
porary. Grotesque figures are always
in demand and copies of the various
models of Venus with which the public
are familiar. Rows of Cupids and of
monks’ heads, winged Victories and
busts of Wagner come and go as pop
ular favorites, but the Tanagra figur
ines Lave a steady sale that insures
their presence in the stock of nearly
every street peddler.—New York I’ost.

Lunch Prices anl Dinner Prices.
Any one who will take tlu trouble to
compare the lunch and dinner, menu
cards of some of the leading restau
rants of New York will make a rather
surprising discovery, lie will ascertain
that the prices on many dishes are cut
on the dinner card from 10 cents to 20
cents.
A gentleman whose curiosity was
aroused by this singular practice to the
extent that he went to the head waiter
for a nior t satisfactory reason than the
table waiter could advance was given
this explanation:
“You see,” said the waiter, "the gen
erality of men don’t care for u heavy
lunch. One dish and a glass of milk or
a cup of coffee, with bread and butter,
are sufficient for them; consequently to
prevent them from getting off too
cheap we have to put up tlie price of
single dishes. At dinner time It is dif
ferent. A mail wants a number of dish
es for dinner, and so we can afford to
make our meats and fish cheaper.”
“But do you think that is exactly”—
“Honest? Why not? It is always
honest to take wlint people are willing
to pay you for what you have to sell, is
it not?” —New York Times.
Why Hindoo* Don’t do Mad.
Why are there so few lunatic asy
lums and so small a proportion of In
sane persons In India? That Is a ques
tion which many a traveler lias wou
derlngly asked.
The Hindoos regulate their lives en
tirely in accordance with their religion—
that is, their working, eating, sleeping,
as well as what we usually regard as
our "life” in the religious sense of tlie
word. Everything is arranged for them,
and they follow the rules now just as
they did 2,000 years ago. This constant
observance of the same rules for twen
ty centuries has molded the brains of
the race Into one shape, as it were, and
although tlieir rites are queer enough,
yet there is but an occasional example
of that striking deviation from die
common which is called insanity in
countries Inhabited by the white race.
Thc-y are fatalists too. With them it
is a ease of “what is to lie will be”
carried to the Extreme. This lias in
time given them the power to take all
things calmly and so freed them from
the anxiety that drives so many white
men into the lunatic asylums.

That well known historical person

many a tale of his wonderful muscular

characteristic story in which, however,
he met his On the occasion In
question he ei-iered a blacksmith’s
shop. To show his suit how strong lie
was, picking up several horseshoes, he
broke oue after tbe other, asking the
blacksmith whether iie had no better.
When It came to paying the bill, the
Elector Augustus threw a six dollar
piece on the anvil. It was a very
thick coin. The blacksmith took it np,
broke it in half, saying, “Pardon ine,
but I have given you a good horseshoe,
and I expect a good coin in return.”
Another six dollar piece was given
him, but he broke that and five or six
others, when the humiliated elector put
an end to the performance by handing
the blacksmith a loulsd’or, pacifying
him by saying, “The dollars were prob
ably made of bad metal, but this gold
piece, I hope, is good.”

They are as unlike tbe shellfish they

the crab tbe egg clusters are attached
