Under this head we have had eX-
traOrdinary success. The large
number of such cases coming to us
and the expressions of delight in
getting relief so quick and safe, are
remarkable. Specific Blood Poison
(Syphilis) can be entirely eradicat-
ed from the system, and our treat
mpnt Of this terrible disease will
cure every durable case, and the
results we are having are proof
enough. In Unnatural orlDiseased
Discharges a treatment is used
that is new, and is in fact the One
rational treatment for this distress
ing trouble. We have cured cases
with this treatment that have
been treated in the East, West,
South and North, and have tried
doctors and patent medicines al
most without limit, besides having
years of suffering and waste of
money and time. Remember, this
is an entirely new treatment, and
is not used by any other specialist
or physician in the country.
1t will pay you to see us if you
are suffering from any Of the above
troubles.

salaries for the month Of April became
due today, so the members had their
first experience with the new pro
ceedure of docking" for absenteeism.
Up to last night 213 members had
filed certificates showing the number
of days, if any they had been absent
Today about fifty more certificates
were put in, leaving about 100 unac-
counted for
In the certificates thus far received
six days is the greatest number Of alb
sent days admitted by any member.
The "dockage' for this at $500 and
eight mills per day is $50 10 The
great majority of members certify
that they have not been absent at all.
At this rate the total deduction will
be small,
The congressman are showing much
uneasiness In making ont their certh-
Gates. as there is nothing beyond their
word of honor to show how many
days they have been absent. Some Of
the certificates are written over on
both sides, with apologies and excuses
for absence, the members hoping in
that way to secure full pay and yet
admitting their absence. The ser
geant-at-arms does not attempt to pass
judiciGlly on the long and tailored eX-
cuses. The only excuse recognized by
law is sickness.

BULLFROG WAS FRIENDLY.

Here is the queerest bullfrog story
on record: A youth who lives at
High Shoals says that his fathers
COWS frequently came ap at night
with the appearance of having been
MIXED His father got tired Of it
and sent him TO the pasture with the
COWS to catch the thief. He spent the
day near enough to the cows to watch
them. he thought. but at night it was
still evident that the cows had been
MIXED again. He was scOlded and
sent back with them the next day.
About IL o'clock, he says, this COW
went into the canes near a small lake
and lowed.
He crept through the brush and
caught the thief in the act, and he
proved to be a bullfrog as large as
hat. The frog was hanging on to
the cows udder and seemed to be
enjoying his dinner immensely-Sa-
