Story Of q Mnrderer,s Shirt.

derer's SHIRT. The doctor told it to-
me as we drove home. He has q fad
of collecting relics of horrible crimi-
mails. Well, few months ago MUIR
derer was put to death by electricity
in Sing Sing prison. The doctor, who
was one of the physicians to make the
autopsy, had kindly provided the
doomed wretch with a suit of his own
underclothing. The murderer wore
it to the chair.
When the electrocutlon was over
the doctor stripped off the shirt, and
after the autopsy, wrapped up in it
certain wortions of the brain which
showed interesting lessons.
Then he went home with his horrid,
blood-stained ''relic."
The brain he put into alcohol. The
''relic" he tossed into his cabinet.
A few days later he went to look
for the "relic," the gem of his collec-

WHIPPING HIS WEIGHT.
Tho Champion Logger Overostimated His
F1stio Ability.

In the logging camps of Michigan
might makes right and the man who
has whipped all corners in fair fights is
king Of his camp.
One OF these. said logger to a re-
porter, was very boastful of his exploits.
He had been the victor in dozen fights
and no one cared to enter the lists with
him, but every man in the camp hated
the champion. Going into saloon one
day he announced: I'm tired Of these
babies in camp amt had good fight
III Michigan. can whip my weight in
dogs, wildcats or anything that breathes
for 800"
A meek looking man took the bet and
arrangements for tho fight were made
1t was to take place in closed room
one week from the time the bet was
made.
The day came and the champion
called, Bring ON your animile" The
man who had bet against the king of
the camp brought his antagonist in
large sack, which had been deposited
behind the stove in the saloon where
the match had been entered into, the
weather just beginning to get cold. The
gladiator entered the room, the sack
was emptied and the people crowded at
the window to see the contest Out Of
the sack came three large hornet nests,
the occupants Of which had been revived
by the heat
They issued from the nests in swarms
and lit all over the man He fought
them for minute or two, then with q
yell jumped through the window, carry
ing sash and glass with him, never stop
ping until he reached the river, into
which he jumped
"Said he could whip his weight in
anything that breathed," remarked the
meek little man as he pocketed the
stakes, but about five pounds of hor-
nets knocked him out in the first
round "-Washington Star.

fires it, and the other insect, usually q

that Dytiscus marginalis cuts its way

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfield, Mo-,
writes: "For six years I have been
sufferer from a scrofulous 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
physician urged me to submit to re-
moval of the gland. At this critical mo-
ment friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted Preju-
dice against all patent medicines, 1 be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your SIS. long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
aud saved over $50"
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.
