This demand can only be met by

Which Purifes Vtalizes and Enriches the Blood

"My mother-in-law, Mrs. Elizabeth
Wolfe, at the age of y years, was at
tackled with violent form Of salt
rheum; it spread all over her body,
and her hands and limbs were dreadful
to look at At the same time, my
little daughter Clara, who was just one
year old, was attacked by similar
disease, like scrofula. 1t appeared in

attendance of the family physician and
other doctors for a long time, but
seemed to grow worse. | read of
many people cured of serofula by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. AS soon as we
gave Hoods Sarsaparilla to Clara, she
began to get better. and before the first
bottle was gone, the sores entirely
healed up and there has never been
any SIGN of the disease since. She is a
Healthy Robust Child.
Her grandmother took Hoods Sarsa-
palilla at the same time. and the salt
rhrum decreased in its violence and
perfect cure was soon effected. lttook
about three months for her cure, and
she ascribcs her GOO, health and
strength at her advanced age to Hoods

wish to add little light to the ques-
ton How to Make the Butter Come. !"
G. p Goodrich's suggestions are all
good and important, but if we have
no fresh cows or silage or roots, and
are doing the very best we can and
chGrn at f-o2s CT to 72 degrees, yet set
no butter, and finally sit down tired and
discouraged, what then? We want most
of all to know what to do to prevent any
further loss.
Immediately after skimming set the
cream in water and heat gradually to
140 degrees. though $50 degrees will do
no harm. Do not have the cream too
thick. 1t is about right as it comes from
the deep setting. Set it away in cool
place until a full churning is obtained.
then warm to Ga degrees, and it will
come with ten minutes churnug.
If from any cause the cream is bitter
which is sometimes the case when
cream is hard to churn-this method OF
handling will sweeten it completely.

DRAGGED TO DEATH.
A Horse Trails Virginia Girl Nearly Tw'
 Miles.

Miss Jennie Crow, living at Rock wood, ". Va, met with horrible ac- cident recently which will result i'll her death. She is a handsome young woman of 23 years, and great fayorite in the city, where her father is prominent business man. 4 few evenings ago with several companions, young ladies and gentlemen, she went horseback riding along the pike up the river bank known locally as the Riverside drive.
 Miss Crow was splendid hersewom- all, and with her escort was leading the party. The horse she was riding was spirited, but good tempered and thor oughly acquainted with its rider. Sud denly, however, the animal shied and Miss Crow slipped from the saddle Her foot was firmly set ill the stirrup, how ever, and though she made desperate effort to disengage it as she fell, she was unsuccessful. The animal becoming more frightened by her fall started to run at breakneck speed, and though Miss Crow's escort and companions drove to the full speed of their horses they could not overtake the flying runaway until he had nearly reached town, distance of two miles from the point where Miss Crow had fallen from her saddle.
 The poor girl had been dragged over the stony pike all that distance. Her clothing was almost torn from her body, and her head, breast, shoulders and arms were a solid mass of bruises, cuts .oJS n1o Aaci, at.l hoi ha6 nearly all been torn from one side of her face and head, and she presented most horrible appearance, She was uncon- scious and no hopes are entertained for her recoYerY.

The Dueler In Journalism.

A Cincinnati writer has sent blood curdling challenge to the editor of a pa per because the editor took blue pencil liberties with his copy and didn't let it go into type ill exactly the same phrase ology and with exactly the same thought area that had been furnished by the writer.
 From the days of the first newspaper down to this day of so many thousands of daily papers there have been men and women outside of the profession of jour nalism who have steadily and bitterly held to the opinion that editors of news papers didn't know how to run them. But these dissatisfied ones have comfort ed themselves with simply saying that the editors were fools.
 The Cincinnati man evidently holds to the same opinion, and he is deter mined apparently to bring about re- form even if he has to shed blood to do it. If he succeeds in shooting the editor or razooing him with napier, we fear that there will be raid made on news paper offices by people who don't find their letters or articles published ln the exact language in which they dash them off, and editors will have to employ one or two men to devote their time exclu- siyely to open ana reply to letters con taining challenges.

DEER-PANTHER-ENGINE.
It Was Close and Exciting Race, but the
 Deer Won.

Deer Won.
 c. c. Taylor, engineer of the Pablo railroad, has pulled a throttle for 3e years, and during that time has had many novel experiences, but Sunday he had one that has no parallel in his life's history.
 It was during the run from Pablo to Jacksonville. About eight miles this side of Pablo is Cedar swamp, tangled morass ill which bear, wildcats, deer, and even partners have been often kill ed. When about half way through the swamp, an immense buck, wild eyed and lathered with sweat, made clean leap of 20 feet on to the track, within 50 tees of the engine. An instant later there was crash of the underbrush, and out of 1t came all immense panther, run ming so fast that he seemed to be level with the ground. He was so eager to catch the game ahead of him that he had no eye for the train.
 Engineer Taylor pulled the throttle wide open.
 The deer was 100 yards ahead, and oAAO P1aohO4 Weeo oO ydfus D0u1uu bIb deer. The deer was barely holding his own Something seemed to be the mat ter with him, for he didn't run as he should. The deer kept the track for a half mile. Before he left the track, how ever, the engine crawled close upon the panther. He heard the rumbling of the wheels and the trembling of the track, and he quickly got out of the way, hid ing himself ill the underbrush by se- ries of successive and graceful leaps
 The deer did not quit the track until quarter of a mile farther on. He took to the open pine woods on the opposite side to that which the panther had leaped and the last seen of him he was still running like chain lightning.
 Conductor Rogero went ahead to see what was up when the train was run ming so fast, but only got there in time to see the deer scudding through the woods.
 MT. Rogero says that deer have fre- quently jumped on the track on the Pablo run, and before this have had 8 race with the train, but this is the first time be ever heard of panther getting mixed up in any of the incidents. = Jacksonville (Fla. Times Union.
