ABSOLUTELY PURE
HOW TOM HEARD HIS FATE.
THUMBNAIL SKETCH OF THE NO
TORIOUS OUTLAW
Which Throws Side Lights on a Character
Unique in Criminal History in
Georgia.
“She's booked for Jume 19th. Not
much time, is it, pa?”’
The speaker was Tom Delk, and he
was addressing his father a few minutes
after Judge Beck had passed the death
sentence upon him, *‘She” refers, of
course, to Tom’s approaching execution.
He will be hung on the 19th of June, to
avenge the murder of Sheriff ‘Guinn.
‘‘She’s booked for June 19th.”
He spoke the words with the nonchal
ance of a race track sport, who shouts,
“They’re off!"" as the horses dash down
the course at the drop of the starter’s
flag.
It was thus that he announced to his
father the date of his terrible death.
Like the advance agent of a drama or a
circus Tom declared that the day for
his great tragedy was “booked” for the
19th of June. It will be a tragedy, not
a drama-=-a real, black tragedy, fraught
with the horrors of hell—yet, with a toss
of his handsome head, Tom told his
father in these strange words the news
of his terrible fate, _
The old father said not a woird, but
there was a look of pride on his face, as
he watched his boy march out of the
court-room with an air of defiant indif
fercme, '
The elder Delk was proud of his boy,
and proud of that little speech which
was spoken loud enough to be heard by
all who were standing near. Itwas such
a speech as old Taylor Delk would have
spoken had he been the age of Tom and
in Tom’s place. It was a Delk speech,
characteristic of the family of outlaws
who are as proad of their record as law
breakers as most men would %e of a rec
ord of honorable achievement.
‘‘She’s booked for June 19th,”
That speech tells the story of Tom
Delk’s character. It describes him bet
ter than words. Analyze it and you
bave an X ray picture of his disposition.
He is dramatic in the extreme. He
dotes on climaxes, He constantly strives
for effect in all he says and does, and is
always ‘‘playing tothe galleries’’ for ap
vrlause.
He is not ready or willing to die, but
there is no doubt that since it must be,
Tom wants the hanging to be attended
by as much eclat as possible. No one
loves freedom more than he, The open
air is as essential to him as to the wild
beasts and a cage is just as tantalizing,
He is in the full of vigor of young man
hood and ioves life and activity as much
as any maa. The thought of the noose
and black cap must bejas horrible to him
as 1o any one, but when be comes to die
it will be a great surprise to those who
know him if he manifests anything but
indifference in the proceedings.
Vanity has brought him to the mur
derer’s cell. Flattery turned his head
and will end in breaking his neck.
Tomis only twenty-two, a handsome
young fellow, who was born a leader of
bis class, When he was but nine
teen he was the undisputed lead
°r of a gang of thieyes in Atlanta, most
of whom were older than himself, They
did his bidding. He was their king.
He played the leading role and won
their applause for the crimes he com
mitted. His colleagues in this work
{old him he was a wonier, and he be
lioved them, In his physicial strength
he took more pride than in anything else
¢xcept his skill with the rifle and revolv-
¢r. He is slender but as strong as an
0%, and as active as a cat. In physical
¢ombat he was almost-always winner
and the gang bragged on him until he
thought he was the most powerful man
in the state, When McWilliams, the bur
ly farmer, who weighs nearly two hun
dred pounds, overpowered him in the
Combat, which resulted in the outlaw’s
Capture, Tom was distressed beyond
Measure. Ho faced his father the night
be was brought to the Atlanta jail with
tears of shame in his eyes, simply be
“ause a man almost twice his size had
Overpowered him. The thought of the
Punishment that awaited him for his
Many crimes 'seemed to take a second-
Ay place in his mind, Hig apologies
kto his father at his vdefeat ‘would have
caused laughter had his mortification
not been so intense as to arouse pity.
The yonng outlaw has profound ad
miration for his father and has shown a
loyalty toward him in recent troubles
which has wou him many friends, Itis
not an exaggeration to say that he would
rather die himself than to ses his father
die. He has always spoken of his moth
er in the tenderest terms and certsinly
has a strong filial affection for Ler. He
is not mean at heart in spite of his repu
tation as a desperado.
His treatment at the hands of the
courts of Pike county has won for him a
great deal of sympathy., When a man
is brought before a jury, tried and sen
tenced to be hung in the period of one
short day, it is natural that the public
should take an interest in his case and
wish for him a little more consideration.
TO GET THE PENNANT.
Oleveland and Pittsburg Have a Plan to
Locate It West. ‘
A conference was held recently at
Pittsburg between Robinson and Tebean
of the Cleveland Baseball club, and Kerr
and - Mack of the Pittsburgs, the ont
come of which is said to be a pooling of
issues between the two clubs, looking to
the locating of the pennant for 1896 in
the west. ‘
It was said at the meeting that the
east for years has had a combination,
the snccessful working of which has kept
that section a winner. To offset this, it
is now proposed by the two clubs men
tioned to pool their extra players, and
as the season progresses draw from the
surplus to strengthen either team, as
may be mutually agreed upon.
Whether this plan will be extended to
other western teams is not stated, but
the two principals believe that such a
combination will work so effectively
that the pennant will next land in the
westh,
"Thoroughly Parisian., "'
A remarkable incident was enactel
the other day on the Paris Pont des
Arts. A well dressed man, who dis
played no emotion, stopped a passerby
and handed him a bundle of bank notes,
remarking : ‘‘l give you this money as a
free gift. Use it as you like. I can only
bope that your life will be more happy
than mine.’’ Before the recipient could
recover from his surprise the man had
thrown himself into the Seine and was
drowned. They do strange things in
Paris.
It Stimulates Them.
- Berlin seems to have a stimnlating
effect on- American genius. United
States Consul General De Kay has just
finished a poem entitled *‘Nimrod's Vi
sion,’”’ a German translation of which
is being made. Mrs. Hoskin, daughter
of Embassador Runyon, has completed
at Berlin a society novel entitled ‘‘Rich
ard Forest.’’ It will appear as a serial
in this country, and a German transla
tion will be published-in Berlin.

One thing is certain; it will not do to
fool with a bad cold. No one can tell
what the end will be. Pneumecnia, ca
tarrh, chrovic bronchitis, if not con
sumption, invanably result from a bad
cold. It is surprising,too, that bad colds
are so often neglected when one remem
bers how easily and at what littte ex
pense ope may be cured. Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy is always prompt and
effectual, and costs but a trifle; 25 or 50
cents is a trifle as compared with the
disastrous effect of a neglected cold. Mr.
Abner Mercer, Dilingworth, Pa., in
speaking of this remedy, said: “Some
time ago I had a bad cough and cold, I
tried almost everything. Finally Mr.
Hunt, the druggist, recommended
Chambarlain’s Congh Remedy, and one

How She Bfoke Hubby from Coming Home
' With a Jag on.
A young wife had just settled in her
new house. All seemed fair and prom
ising, but one night her husband camé
home very late and staggered into
the house. His wife was greatly shack
ed, and told him he was ill and to lie
down at once. He did so, and in a mo
ment or two was comfortably asleep
on the sofa. His face was a reddish
purple, and altogether he was a pitia
ble looking object. The doctor was
sent for in haste and mustard plasters
applied to his feet. When the doctor
came, felt of his pulse and examined
him, and found that he was drunk, he
said :
‘“‘He will be all right in the morn
ing.”
But the wife insisted that that he
was very ill, and severe remedies must
be used. i
“You must shave his head ang ap
ply blisters,”” she urged, Ctor I must
sénd for some one who will.”
His head was accordingly shaved
closely and blistersapplied. All night
he lay in a drunken sleep, notwith
standing the blistérs were eating into
the flesh. It was not until morning
that he began to beat about, dis
turbed by pain.
About daylight he awoke to a most
uncomfortable consciousness of bhlister
ed agonies, ;
““What does all this mean?” he said,
putting his hand to his bandaged head.
‘‘Lie still—you mnust not stir,” saz'
wife, ‘‘you have been very ill,”
“I’'m not ill.”
*Oh, yes, you are; you have brain
fever. We have worked hard with you
all night.” |
“I should think you had,” groaned |
the poor -victim. “What is matter‘
with my feet?”’ |
““They are blistered.” |
“But I'm ‘better, now; take off the
blisters, do!”’ he pleaded piteously,
~ He was was in a most uncomfortable
state—his head covered with sores, and
his feet still worse.
“My dear,” hegsaid groaning, “if I
should ever get sick in this way again
do not be alarmed or send after a doc
tor, and above all, do not blister me
again.,” i A
“Oh, indeed T will; allithat saved you
was the blisters, and if you should have
another spell I should be more fright
ened than ever, for the tendency, I
am sure, is to apolexy, and from the
next attack youwould be likely to die
unless there were the severest meas
ures used.”’
- He made no further defense, and
from that day to this he has not had
another attack of drink.
One of the most remarkakable cures of
rheumatlsm on record is related by Mr.
J. M. Thompson, postmaster at Decker's
Point, Pa., as follows: ‘““While out driv
ing one day last winter I was caught in
a cold rain. The next morning I was
unable to move my head or arms, owing
to an attack of inflammatory rheuma
tism, My clerk telephoned for a physi
cian, but suggested that [ use Chamber
lain’s Pain Balm, there being a bottle
open on the counter. He rubbed the
affected parts thoroughly with Pain
Balm and builtup a hot fire. I dozed
off to sleep and when I awoke about anm
half an hour later the pain had gone en
tirely,and I have not been troubled
since. People come here for miles
around to buy Chamberlain’s medi
cines.” For sale by Farrar & Farrar,

With Erysipelas
There is no disease of the blood
which so completely 'Fuzzles the doc
tors as Krysipelas. They admit that
it is a blood trouble, but like other such
diseases, they are unable to effect a
cure.
It is not surprising that those who
are afflicted with this distressing dis
ease should suffer such untold agonies.
Like a consuming flame, it covers the
skin with a fiery, burning redness
which is almost unbearable, and only
those who have been so afflicted can
describe its tortures.
Aside from the suffering which Ery
sipelas causes, there is .always great
danger attending the disease, unless
promptly checked. The inflammation
spreads through the tissues of the skin
and, when a vital part is attacked, the
result is disastrous.® Often the bones
are affected, and become so diseased
that they crumble away, leaving the
patient an invalid for life.
Here is such a case, where the doc
tors were unable to afford relief, and
strongly urged an operation.
Miss Ada Wainwright is a most esti
mable young lady, residing at Alamo,
Tenn. After being under the doctor’s
care constantly for three years and de
clared incurable, she saw before her
only the gloomy life of an invalid.
Under date of May Bth, 1896 she writes :
‘I feel it my duty to inform you of
the great good I have received from
your remedy, S, S. 8., for [ am sure
that it saved my life. For three years

MISS ADA WAINWRIGHT.
I have suffered agonies with bone ery
sipelas, and though under treatmentof
~ the best physicians, I found no relief.
‘ One of my limbs was so swollen and
inflamed that the doctors found it nec
| essary to keep it lanced, and the bone
became 80 diseased that several pieces
were discharged through the opening.
It is impossible to describe the suffer
ing I had to endure; sometimes able
to hop around on crutches, and again
unable to turn myself in bed. I was
80 reduced in health that I weighed
only eighty pounds. -
‘““After lingering for three years,
having been treated by four doctors,
was finally told that I was incurable,
and thatl would have to submit to the
painful operation of having the bone
scraned, or it would be necessary to
amputate the limb. This I positively
refused to submit to. .
“A friend recommended S. 8. 8,
knowing of its wonderful reputation
as a blood remedy, and when I had
finished one bottle I felt an improve
ment. I grew better as I continued
the miedicine, and after taking six bot
tles I was entirely well, my skin was
clear and pure, and I have no sign of
the terrible disease. I gained in health
and strength until I now weigh 138
pounds, and all my relatives and
friends are astonished at the wonder
ful cure made by S. 8. 8.”
The above is but one of the many
wonderful cures being made daily by
5.8.8. Experience has shown that the
doctors are absolutely unable to cure
diseases of the blood, and of the many
blood remedies offered to the publiec
to-day, S. S. 8. is the only one which
cures obstinate and deep-seated cases,
For real blood troubles, S. 8. S. has
no equal. It wipes out completely the
most obstinate cases of blood diseases,
which other remedies do not seem to
touch. S. 8. S. gets at the root of the
disease, and forces it out permanently,
S. S. S. is guaranteed
Purely Vegetable
and is a positive and permaneni
cure for Erysipelas, Scrofula, Eczema,
Tetter, Cancer, Rheumatism, and all
traces of bad blooq Our valuable
