Taken in Time

Hoods Sarsaparilla has achieved great
success in warding off sickness which
if allowed to progress, would have
undermined the whole system and
given disease strong foothold to
cause much suffering and even threat
en- death. Hood g Sarsaparilla has done
all this and even more, 1t has been
taken in thousands of cases which
were thought to be incurable, and af-
ter fair trial has affected wonderful
cures, bringing health, strength and
Joy to the afflicted. Another important
point about Hood s Sarsaparilla is that
its cures are permanent, because they
start from the solid foundation of puri-
fed, vitalized and enriched blood. But
it is not what we say but what Hood 8
Sarsaparilla does that tells the story.

SHIPPING CHILDREN BY FREIGHT.
A Poor Kansas Mans Device to Save
Car Fare.

Joseph Love, Shawnee County far
mer, placed his three children in a
pine box and attempted to smuggle
them into Santa Fe freight car last
evening.
Poverty, he says, prompted him to do
it. He did not want to 60 away and leave
his children and he had no money to
pay their fare.
Love lives near Tecumseh. He has
wife and three children. Luck seems
to have been against him of late and
he decided to move to Oklahoma. He
He chartered freight car of the Santa
Fe road to take his household goods.
The rules of the road permit one
person to ride in freight car with
household goods. Consequently, Love
did not worry about himself.
He had just money enough to buy
ticket for his wife, and way had to
be provided for his three small chill
dren.
Last evening, when all the household
goods had been loaded in the car, Love
hitched his team to his wagon. Under
the wagonbox was long pine box.
In it he placed his three children
packed in like sardines. Two of the
children were about 18 years old-they
were twins-and the other was several
years younger. Love nailed the lid of
the box shut, and when his wife had
taken her place on the wagon seat, he
drove to the Santa Fe yards.
1t 80 happened that several of Loves
neighbors saw him putting his children
into the box and they came to Topeka
last night and reported the matter to
the police. Sergt. Ellison and Police
man Aye went to the yards. They
found Love in the act of taking the
wheels off his wagon, preparatory to
loading it in the car. The children
were found in the box, apparently
none the worse for their uncomfortable
ride. Love had planned to get the box
inside the car and then open it and free
his children. In this way he hoped to
get them through to Oklahoma free.
Love was not arrested, but he will be
compelled to find some other way to
provide transportation for his little
ones.-Topeks Capital.

your candidate for Congress in this
Congressional District twenty four
years hence, would you be surprisedY
You needn' t be. :. The President of this
nation forty or fifty years hence, is to
day, perhaps, in tatters and rags. He
no doubt now lives in a log cabin, and
by hard work is supporting widowed
mother or a helpless family. John
Adams was the son of a farmer of
moderate means. Andrew Jackson
was born in log hut in extreme poy-
erty. James X. Polk was raised on a
farm in the wilderness of North Caro-.
lima. Millard Fillmore's parents lived
on farm and were very poor. James
Buchanon was born in hut which his
father, with his own axe hewed out
and built Lincoln lived in cabin
until he was 81 years old, and after
wards worked by the month for wages,
until he managed to get license to
practice law. Andrew johnson, when
he settled in Greeneville, was not worth
$50 in the round world, and couldn t
write his name. Garfield worked as a
farm hand and for miles around, was
known as the best hand with cradle
in the whole community. In harvest
time he went from farm to farm and
worked for one bushel of wheat day.
General Grants father owned small
lanyard, and did much of his ow wn
work, and General Grant was practi.
cal tanner, and worked at the trade.
1t is a source of great satisfaction to
the toiling poor man, to feel that his
