TO USE The KNIFE

And Submit to a Painful Operation--This
the Doctors Advised as the Only Hope,
the Case Being Critical One The Hap
py Termination OF a Deep Rooted Prcju-
dice.
Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, Of Hartville, Mo-.
had an interesting experience with the doc
tors recently, and was on the verge OF
painful surgical operation. He writes. II
hereby add my unqualified endorsement of
your excellent remedy, s. s. =. For six
years have been sufferer from scrofu-
lous affection OF the glands of my neck. and
all efforts OF physicians in Washington,
d. c., Springfield, ILL.,, and st. Louis failed
to reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here my physi-
clan urged me to submit to removal OF the
gland. At this critical moment q friend
recommended s. s. s., and laying aside q
deep-rooted prejudice against all patent
medicines, | began its use. Before had
used one bottle the enlargement began to
disappear, and now it is entirely gone, and
am almost cured. l am not through with
my second bottle yet. HadI only used your
s. S. s. years ago, / could have escaped
years of misery and saved over sl5O. II
this endorsement will serve you In any way,
use it,"
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles. The
doctors can do no good, and even their re-
sorts to the knife prove either fruitless or
fatal S S. s. is Tho only real blood rem
edy. 1t gets at the root of the disease, and
forces it out permanently.

Philena to accompany him, and he said
softly, as he polished his shears before
he put them away:
"Now, Gideon, be a man, and ask
Philena to accompany you to the pic
mic. It's better late than never, and
you might get her yet. almost think
she likes you little, and then she re-
fused John Haimes, and perhaps you
have been mistaken all these years,
and she does care for you. Anyway, |
believe I'll ask Philena to go to the pic
mic with me-"
He started out, and just as he turned
the corner who should he meet but
Philena! lie merely said: Good morn
ing" and hurried into the grocery near
by as though he really wished to avoid
her. He saw her when she returned,
but Mrs. Shower was with her, and he
returned to his little shop and passed
the day in miserable state of mind.
Day after day went by, and the
Fourth was at hand. The load Of
merry men and women stopped at
Dame Cations for Gideon. They had
lumber wagon, with seats placed
around the box, and canopy of white
duck to protect them from the sun.
Gideon took ms seat in the wagon, and
the horses started off at lively pace.
Gideon looked around, and there be-
side him sat Philena Pray. His heart
leaped to his throat and prevented him
from taking part in the conversation.
When they reached the picnic
ground, Serene Hemper said:
Here, Gideon, make yourself useful
and assist the ladies'" One by one he
assisted them from the high wagok.
AS he was about to help Philena, Mrs
Stout stepped on her dress, and she was
thru wn forward right into Gideon's
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1895-07-05

said this, and then began stammer
ing apology for disturbing her.
She did not give him chance tr
continue, for she said:
you said just now that you would
give a good deal to know what I'd
say Well, say / am glad you love
me, and am willing to marry you"
A bright blush mounted her check,
and when Gideon realized that Philena
loved him, he had no use for Elder
Whites tongue, for he found his own,
and for once said just what he
wanted to.
A small boy came up just then and
said: Dinners ready"
When they arrived at the place
where the dinner was served, every
one remarked Gideon's gay and jovial
manner" and they guessed at the
cause, for the small boy had preceded
them and announced that he saw
Gid Bright a-kissin' Miss Pray"
That evening as he fingered on the
moonlit porch at Parson Pray's, he
urged Philena to name a day in the
near future when she would be his
BRIDE
When he walked home through the
moonlight he really believed that he
had kept his resolution and had asked
Philena TO marry lin. He said softly,
as he turned the key in the door:
II am glad that made that Dec
laration of Independence
AS Philena stood on the porch, with
Gideon's kiss still warm on her lips,
she blushed and said:
~ think must have made Dec
laration of Independence to-day. but
I'm not sorry. Wake Robin, 81

IMBEcILEs AMONG PLANTS.


Varieties That Never Seem to Reach .
Mature Growth.
Every one understands what is meant
by the imbecile, when speaking of hui
man beings. The mental development
Of the child is checked, and even when
such child reaches the age of man
hood, it is still but child in its feel
ings and wants; but it Is not alone
among human beings that the charac-
teristics of imbecility are found. In
almost all trees, the characteristics of
the foliage or the habit are very differ
ent during the first few months Of ex-
istence than they are in after life.
There is matured characteristic MS
well ms an infantile one. The tulip
tree, for instance, has its first set OF
leaves entire, without any appearance
of the lobe or the truncate termination
which 1t assumes in old age; but some
times these Juvenile characteristics
will be maintained through life-and
then we have what is known as the
Liriodendron integrifolia-tha Is to
say, the entire-leaved tulip tree.
This is more particularly marked
among evergreens, During the first
year of the arber-vit@, pinus, cupres-
sus, retinospora and similar plants, the
leaves are heath-like--that is, extend
ing from the stem quite separate and
distinct; but occasionally there are in
dividuals carrying these characterize
les through life; and many OF the So
called Japanese species are merely
vegetable imbeciles 1t is not uncom-
mon foracute observers to find branches
assume their adult form in many indi-
viduals in this imbecile class. Just as
in the case of human beings, there are
occasionally instances where imbeciles
assume matured characteristics.
This is also true Of the animal world.
A friend of the writer has an aquari-
UNI In which tadpoles as well as other
aquatic creatures are raised. AS every
one who is acquainted with the COM
monest events in natural history is
aware, the tadpole during its first sea-
son throws off its tail, pushes its legs
and becomes frog. In the case Of the
friend referred to, he has tadpole
which thrust out its legs and then
ceased to develop further. After three
years it is still tadpole with its two
frog legs, retaining its tail, and in all
other respects it is still tadpole with
the tadpole characteristic intact 1t
may be termed froggy imbecile.-
