Try This Plan.

N. Y. Tribune.
at took me five years." said a
married man, "to become convinced
that the cheapest way for me to run
my house was to give my wife so
much money every month, to spend
as she saw fit. / think that ] have
saved at least twenty-five per cent.
by this plan. / never have any
large bills coming in now at inop-
perfume times, for my wife pays as
she buys. My house is better
equipped and better managed than
it was under my old system, and
furthermore my wife has a private
bank account, to which she adds a
little every month. ! would advise
every man who has practical wife
to try the same scheme. It's an inn
mense relief, not to speak of the
saving.

Good Looks.

Good looks are more than skin
deep, depending upon a healthy con-
dition of all the vital organs. If the
liver be inactive, you have a bill
lious look, if your stomach he disor-
dered you have a dyspeptic look and
if your kidneys be affected you have
pinched look. Secure good health
and you will have good looks. Elec-
trio Bitters is the great alterna-
tive and Tonic acts directly on these
vital organs. Cures Pimples, Blotch-
es, Boils and gives a good complex
ion. Sold at Ritchey & Bostick's

The Rather and the King.

Sunny South.
Some thirty years ago a gentleman
who was walking on country road
on hot summer day, heard a
rustling in the dry leaves, and going
into the thicket, found King snake
and rattle-snake engaged in Sulli-
van>Ryan fight-to the-death slugging
match. The rattler was the bigger,
but the King had the advantage in
length and suppleness. The King
had his jaws fastened like a vice
at the back of the rattler's head and
was coiled around the rattler's body.
The King was trying TO squeeze his
antagonist to death, and it goes
without saying that the rattler was
struggling desperately to avoid his
fate. 1t was about noon, and the
spectator, who wanted his dinner as
we'll as to see the result of the battle,
got a pole, and thrusting it between
the entangled bodies of the serpents,
carried them to his home, not less
than half a mile distant. He put
them in the bottom of an upright
empty flour barrel, and the contest
continued. The King would become
exhausted every few minutes, and
his coils would relax. But he never
loosened his jaws. Both snakes would
then lie painting and resting. Each
pause gave the rattler a new lease of
life. But when the King would re-
cover his breath and strength in
some degree, he would begin to
tighten his folds again, and the con-
fiict began anew. And it continued
thus until ten or eleven o'clock that
night, when the King relaxed his
Jaws and withdrew. His foe was
dead.
The victor lay stretched out at his
ease for a considerable time, and
then began to lick the rattler's body.
Beginning at the head he plastered
the rough coat down even to the end
of the tail. Then going back to the
head he began the swallowing pro-
cess. To the observers, this seemed
a preposterous and hopeless job, for
the rattler was not less than one forth
if not one third the larger of the two,
The family fingered into the small
hours of the night watching, and
when they went to bed, at least hall
of the RATHER was inside the King
Next morning there was only one
serpent in the barrel, but he was as
big as the two had been the day be-
fore. He reminded those who be-
held him of the funny papers goa
that had eaten barrel. And the
King seemed as dead as the rattler
1t was many days before he moved
When he showed signs Of life, anC
acted like he might want to steI
down town and get drink, the bar
relsvas gently turned down and hi
crawled off into big patch of hos
weeds. And this is no joke, but
truthful account of an actual occur
ence.

DON'T USE

filled with poisonous germ matter is like
water on the forked tongues of flaming
fire. 1t subdues the evil instantly, even
when other medicines have failed. Again,
Bulls Sarsaparilla is frequently used after
the system has become poisoned by the
use of mercury ana potash. 1t quickly
eliminates these mineral poisons from the
system, thus preventing and curing mer-
curial rheumatism, potash sores, etc. In
all syphilitic and scrofulous affections,
Bulls Sarsaparilla is a true panacea. The
sequee of blood poison, such as salt
rheum eczema kings evil scald head,
boils, carbuncles itch, sores, rheumatism,
neuralgia, etc, all permanently disappear
if the use of Bulls Sarsaparilla is con-
tinned q sufficient lenpth of time

THEY NEYER WILL BE MISSED.

There are some men still left in town,
We have them on our list
Who when the fool killer calls them down
They never will be missed,
They never will be missed.
There isa man WHO sweetly smiles
And says, "Now amt ithot"
All, Johnnie, get yOurlittlegun
And shoot him on the spot.
Then there's the crank who tariff talks,
Or of the silver bill,
Who wants to know just where you stand,
For Cleveland orr for Hill.
Just fondle him with baseball bat,
oh, never use your fist
And if you put him in the soup
He never will be missed,
He never will be missed.
There's the fake who comes along
With the latest boom in land,
Or one who springs brand.new act
About that hotel grand.
Ele0trocution is too good for him,
Just give his neck twist,
And should you strike vital spot
He never will be missed,
He never will be missed.
And there's the chronic, kicking cuss,
Who raises quite din
About the crematory new
Or the tunnel caving in.
He'll kick and kick and kick and kick
Till death his lips has kissed,
And when old Satan gets his own
He never will be missed,
He never will be missed.

SUPERIORITY.
Not Equality, but true Superiority over
all other Blood Remedies.

Mercury enters into the composition Of
many blood medicines while with others
iodide of potash is the principal ingre-
dent. Both these substances are poisons,
and while in some instances they lessen
the severity of the ravages of blood
poison, their use in the end are more
hurtful than otherwise. Bear in mind DR..

who delivered The American Flag" in
a mastery manner. He was followed
by Nirgie |. Allen, OF Center Point, w.
Va, with Determination of Purpose"
Mir. Allen acquitted himself admirably,
and both were the recipients of much
applause.
After this came a holly contested de-
bate. Question:: "ReSOlued, That the
United States will fall into Decay as
the Nations OF Antiquity have Done"
Aflirm-D. +. Stalnaker, Valley Fur

Miss Florence B. Jolliff and Mr.. VIM.

ing with them in pleasing manner.
The poet of the class, Il. foresC
Goodwin, had prepared well written
poem for the occasion and read IL 10

formance of the exercises was the hanoi-
work of the class artist, Guy E. Bart
lett which consisted OF picture OF
