Rasping the Editor.
A country editor was made to writhe
in keenest humiliation of spirit on re
ceipt of the following scathing criti
cism by a subscriber on the conduct of
his paper:
"Deer Sur I hereby offer my resig
nation as a subscriber to your papur, it

sekence ns not to benefit my fambly by

The book agent had spent a discour
aging morning, and when he had an op
portunity to scan the face of Eli Hobbs
at close range he felt that there was
small chance of making a sale. How
ever, he had more than one method of
suggestion.
“Sitting out here on the piazza nf-
ternoon with your wife this would be
the very book to read aloud,” he said,
ingratiatingly, to Mr. Hobbs, taking
the other rocking chair and opening the
large red-covered volume.
"1 don’t read and haven't any wife,”
replied Mr. Hobbs, dryly.
"Dear me,” said the book agent.
"Well, if your wife is dead, perhaps
there are children. Now, children find
this book——”
“There are no children,” interrupted
Mr. Hobbs. "There is nobody but my
self and my cat.”
"Well.” said the book agent, “don’t
you want a good heavv book to throw
at her, just to ease your feelings?”
MUST BELIEVE IT.
Gave a Tooth for Each Drink.
Atlanta, Oct. 30.- A new scheme for
getting a drink has been evolved here.
There are dentists in Atlanta, as there
are no doubt elsewhere, whose strong
compassion for suffering humanity in
duces them to keep on hand a supply of
soothing spirits which they deal out to
pntients in two or three finger doses
when a tooth is to be extracted or a
particularly painful job is to be done.
An Atlanta man who had exhausted
his resources for acquiring another
tlrink or two, and who just had to have
it, wandered into n dentist’s office the
other day and said he wanted a tooth
pulled. The dentist obligingly gave
him a drink before the operation. He
had other teeth that hurt him, he said,
and before he got through he had four
teeth extracted, in exchange for which
he had acquired four drinks.
When he finally came to the next day
he found the front of his face had sunk
in. The dentist had him charged up
with a dollar a drink for pulling the
teeth, and when he gets through mak
ing the plate to replace the teeth there
is no telling what the drinks will final
ly have cost him.
The Atlantan in question denies that
he went to the dentist’s for the pur
pose of getting the drinks, and de
clares that the teeth just had to come
out anyway.
The World’s Most Prosperous Na
tion.
Loslie’H Weekly.
In a period of world-wide industrial
ndversity the United States is the most
prosperous country on the globe. It is
the most prosperous country because,
while the adversity struck us earliest
and hardest of all the countries, the ral
ly.here came quickest and has extend
ed farthest. When the setback struck
us in the closing days of October, 1907,
our purchases from the rest of the
world promptly shrunk, while our sales
to the world promptly increased for
several months, though they then fell
otr slightly. Thus, for the fiscal year
which ended on June 30, 1908, there
was a balance in our favor in the for
eign trade of $006,000,000, which was
the largest ever rolled up in any twelve
months. It was $120,000,000 more than
the balance of 1907. It was $2,000,000
more than the balance for 1901, which
was the largest ever attained until
1908. No other country in the world
ever had a favorable margin of trade
even remotely approaching ours for
1908. Here was the most striking exhi
bition of an adjustment to unfavorable
conditions which the world has seen.
In this way we increased our credit
abroad and obtained gold when we
needed it to help us tide over the finan
cial scare.
"Say, I hear somebody in this crowd
said I was a liar,” blustered the vil
lage bully, approaching a group of men
he thought he knew. "Where’s the
guilty party?”
"1 guess maybe it was me,” quietly
rejoined a bushy stranger who meas
ured fully six feet, and looked to be
stronger than an ox, as he pulled up
his sleeves.
"Oh, that’s all right,” continued the
bully, as he hurriedly backed away.
"Keep your clothes on; I didn’t say
I wasn’t.”

A Puzzle In Figures.
Take any number of three different
figures, as 471, under It place the same
figures in reverse order, subtract the
lesser number and you will find that'

that ouly the most learned mathemat

case worked out:

this number 297 in She same way and

A Friend In Need.
A speaker in the recent Shropshire
(England) election relates the follow
ing incident: One night ho spoke in
the poultry market at Whitchurch.
Tlie next morning a young man stop
ped him in tlie street and said:
‘'I was looking well after you last
night.”
The speaker expressed surprise at
the necessity.
The young man continued his story:
“I saw a young man come into the
meeting witli ills coat pockets bulging
out in a way that made me suspicious.
Two of us followed him in. lie stood
at the back of the room, and we stood
one on each side of him. Gently but
firmly we pressed against him. There
was a faint crackling sound of break
ing eggs, and the man was out of ac
tion.”
Arms, Legs and the Man.
now many of us have noticed that
we walk with our arms as well as with
our legs? Sitting on a grassy slope
overlooking a seaside promenade I was
struck by the mechanical swing of tlie
arms of the stream of passersby—the
right arm always keeping position with
the left leg and the left arm with the
right leg. By attempting to reversetho
order of the swing I found that I had
a tendency to progress like a crab,
while the effort to keep them fixed by
the side was like the shutting off the
steam from tho engine. Arms and the
man must be amended to arms, legs
and the maul—London Chronicle.

young -Bank employee had to make the
amount good. He was very much bro

said to his wife, “I’ll have to make
up that $100. I won’t smoke another
cigar until the amount 1 would have
spent for tobacco equals the amount I
have lost in this transetion.”
He cut out smoking entirely. Some
time afterwards the father of his
friend paid back the $100. Now the
young bank employee and his wife are
happy. He has the $100, he’s saved
about $20 on cigar money, and he has
no desire to use tobacco again.

"There is only one way to sleep on a
train.” said the porter of a sleeping-
car, “and that is with the head toward
the locomotive. If I should make up
my berths so that the passengers
would lie with their feet toward the lo
comotive they would sleep little, if at
all. The reason is that with the head
pointed right the blood runs down to
the feet, and the calm head invites
sleep. But pointed the other way the
hsad fills up with blood and the mind
becomes excited, and sleep is almost
an impossibility. It is on this account
that on sleeping-cars the pillows are
toward the engine."

Malaria is due to impurities and poisons in the blood. Instead of being
rich, strong and healthy, the circulation has become infected with germs of
disease which destroy the rich, red corpuscles that furnish nourishment and
strength to the body, and reduced this vital fluid to such a weak, watery
condition that it is no longer able to keep the system in health, or ward off
the countless diseases and disorders that assail it. The loss of these
red corpuscles takes the color and glow of health from the cheek, and we
see pale, sallow faces and washed out, chalky complexions among the first
symptoms of Malaria. But Malaria is a general systemic disease, and as
the blood becomes more heavily loaded witlVitS germs we have more serious
and complicated symptoms; the impure blood having its effect on ail part*
of the body. The appetite fails, digestion is weakened, chills and slight
fever are frequent, and the sufferer loses energy and ambition because of a
constant tired-out and "ho account ” feeling. The lack of necessary nour
ishment and healthful qualities in
the blood causes boils and abscesses,
skin affections, and in some cases
sores and ulcers to break out, and
sometimes the patient is prostrated
with a spell of malarial fever which
may leave his health permanently
impaired. To cure Malaria both a
blood purifier and tonic are necessary,
in order to remove the cause and at
the same time build up the system
from its weakened and run-down
condition. S. S. S. is the medicine
best fitted for this work. It is the
most perfect of all blood purifiers, and
the purely vegetable ingredients of
which it is composed make it the
During 1900 I was running a farm on
the Mississippi river and became so impreg
nated with Malaria that for a year I was
almost a physical wreck. I tried a number
of medicines recommended as blood purifi
ers, chill cures, and Malaria eradicators,
but nothing did me any good until I began
to use S. S. S. The result was that after
taking it for awhile I was as well and
strong as I ever was. I have never had a
chill since nor the slightest symptom of
Malaria. I hope others will be benefited
by my experience, and with that end in
view I give this testimonial, knowing that
S. S. S. is the best remedy for Malaria.

greatest and safest of all tonics.
S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and removes every trace of impurity
or poison, and at the same time gives to the blood the health-sustaining qual
ities it needs. It cures Malaria thoroughly and permanently because it
removes the genus and poisons which produce the disease, and while doing
this tones up and strengthens every part of the sj’stem. When S. S. S. has
cleansed the blood the symptoms pass away, the healthy color returns to
the complexion, the old tired, depressed feeling is gone, and the entire health
is renewed. Book with information about Malaria and any medical advice
