A Turkish Bride.

Richard Davey, in his book, 1.-THE
Sultan and His Subjects thus de-
scribes the appearance Of a Turkish
bride:
''The bride, whom we will call Gul
Hanum, or the Lady Rose, is dressed
in the most elaborate Partisan bridal
costume, with an immense long train,
wreath Of orange flowers at her head
and pink veil reaching to the ground.
She sits like statue on sort Of throne,
placed at the farther end Of the apart
ment, beneath canopy composed Of
garlands of artificial roses. All the
ladies of her family and acquainsances
are present, some few of the elder in
the beautiful oriental costumes Of by
gone time, the rest in badly chosen Eu-
ropean evening dresses and blazing with
all the jewelry they can load upon their
persons.

Make the Most of Yourself.

1t is the duty of every man to make
the most of himself Whatever his
capacities may be, he is sure to find
some place where he can be useful to
himself snd others. But he cannot
reach his highest usefulness without
good health and he cannot have good
health without pure blood. The blood
circulates to every organ and tissue
and when it Is pure. rich and healthy
it carries health to the entire system,
but if it is impure it scatters disease
wherever it flows. Hoods sarsaparilla
is the one true blood purifier. 1t cures
salt rheum, scrofula, casarrh, dyspep-
sie and rheumatism because these dis
eases have their orgigin in the blood.

A whim of Louis XII.

In "The Dungeons of Old Paris" the
author, Tighe Hopkins, says the trans
formation of the chateau of Vincennes
into dungeon was decided upon by
Louis XI while in sardonic mood.
He walked one day in the precincts
of Vincennes, wrapped in his thread
bare surtout edged with rusty fur, and
plucking at the queer little peaked cap
with the leaden image of the Virgin
stuck in the band. There was smile
on the sallow and saturnine face.
cat his majesty's right walked q
thickset, squad man Of scurvy counte-
nance, wearing close fitting doublet
and armed like a hangman. On the
kings left went snowy person, vul-
gar and mean of face, whose gait was a
ridiculous strut. Louis stopped against
the dungeon and tapped the great wall
with his finger. What's just the thick
ness Of this?' he asked. six feet in
places, sire; eight in others answered
the squad man, Tristan, the execution
or. Good said Louis. But the place
looks to me as if it were tumbling.' 1T
might, no doubt, be in better repair,
sire," observed the snowy person, Oil
yer, the barber, but as it is no longer
used
"'Ah, but suppose thought of using
it, gossip?' Then, sire. your majesty
would have it repaired
"'To be sure, chuckled the king
If I were to shut you up there, Oliver,
you could gst out, eh?' Il think so,
sire. But you, gossip to his hang
man, you'd catch him and have him
back to me-, heinz Trust me, sire,'
said Tristan. 'Then I'll have my dun
geon mended, said Louis I'm going to
have company here, gossips.' 'Sirel' ex-
claimed Oliver. Prisoners SO close to
your majesty's own apartmentsl But
you might hear their groans.' Hal
They groan, Oliver? The prisoners
groan, do they? But there's no need
why should live in the chateau here.
Hark you both, gossips, I'd like my
guests to groan at their pleasure with
out the fear of inconveniencing their
king And the king and his hangman
and his barber fell a-laughing.''

"Chief," says: I'VE won't keep house

A democratic mass convention was
held at the court house this afternoon
to name Is delegates for the district
convention which meets here next
Thursday. 1t has been some time since
the democrats have held convention
and some Of them have lost track of the
party, consequently the attendance was

anxious to line up the party again and
maintain the organization as of old, ex-
pressing themselves that this situ-
alton could be brought about.
L. E. Whitcher was made chairman
and 81. G. Greene secretary. John D.
Wood, John Michaels and W. Abbey

charm for many that no other enter

figures, seated one above another, the
bass drum and bass fiddle Gaping the

the blending of the voices harmon

A double wedding occurred down in
Tobin township Wednesday evening
at the residence OF Oscar Warfield and
the pleasant farm house was filled with
the relatives of the bridal couples.
The names of the contracting parties
are Warren Warfield and to him Miss
Anna Murner yielded her life and hap
piness, and John Anderson promised to
love, honor and obey Miss Ida War
field the rest of his life. The ceremony
which joined these two worthy young
couples together in wedlock was per-
formed by Rev. G. W. Mcconnell of
this city, and when he had pronounced
them man and wife the relatives and
guests went forward and extended
their hearty and sincere congratula-
tions. Mrs. War6eld had prepared a
delicious wedding repast and the splen-
did viands were most heartily enjoyed
by all. The four young people are
we'll known in that vicinity and possess
the respect and friendship of large
circle of friends.
A fair audience attended the hypnotic
performance Of Prof. G. G. Fontana at
the Grand opera house Wednesday
evening. Miss Grace Eden gave an
illustration of her pyschic ability by
lifting crowd OF eight men, resisting
physical force, and she accomplished it
all in satisfactory manner. While
the feat was not particularly new to
Mitchell people yet it was of an inter-
esting character. Miss Ouita Fontana,
the fourteen year old daughter of Prof.
Fontana, had charge of the hypnotic
tests and she showed q remarkable
ability in that line. With the large
class of gentlemen who went upon the
stage Miss Fontana had not the least
difficulty in being able to impress them
with her hypnotic power. Some very
laughable incidents were seen. Two
of the sensitives we're placed under the
influence aud one was made to shave
the other with piece of paper. An
other took the photograph of friend
and one OF them imagined he was a
dentist and extracted tooth, while
another calmly and earnestly fshed in
an imaginary stream of water. There
was no chance for trickery in the tests
as anybody acquainted with the subjects
could readily see. Prof. Fontana took
charge of the class for short time and
was able to do some very clever work
with the members. Prof. Fontana will
appear the rest OF the week and it is
hoped that he will be greeted with
larger houses during the rest of the
engagement.

Cancer
Can be Cured

It is very often that the most insig-
nificant symptoms are forerunners of
the most violent disease. There is
not more destr uctive disease than
Cancer. and in u majority of cases it
is first indicated by very small pim-
nle or sore. to which no attention is
attracted, until it before long develops
into the most alarming conditions.
Here is another case where the first
symptoms of a most violent Cancer
we're too small to receive much notice
until the disease had fully developed.
Mrs. Laura f, Minis has resided at
Smithvi1le, Georgia, for years, andis
well known throughout the adjoining
country. In a recent letter she tells
of a wonderful case.
She says: " A small piinple of a
strawberry color appeared on my
cheek; it soon changed to purple, and
began to grow rapidly, notwithstand-
ing all efforts to check it, until it was
the size of a partridge egg. My eye
became terribly inflamed. and was so
swollen, that for quite while l could
not see. The doctors said had Cam

Ger of the most malignant type, and
after exhausting their efforts without
doing NE any good, they gave up the
case as hopeless. When informed that
my father had died from the same
disease, they said must die, as hered-
itary Cancer WAS incurable. l was
terribly reduced in health and felt as
if my life was was ting away.
At this crisis, l was advised by a
friend to try S. 5. S., and i'll a short
while the Cancer seemed more i'll
famed than before. | was informed
that WAS favorable, however, as the
medicine acts by forcing out the
poison through the pores of the skin.
Before long the Cancer began to
discharge and continued to do SO for
three months then it began to heal.
l continued the medicine a while
longer, until the Cancer disap-
peared entirely, and | enjoyed better
health than ever before. This has
been several years ago and there has
not been Il sign of return of the
disease"
Cancer is becoming a1ar1ning1y
prevalent, and mauifests itself in
such a variety of forms, that any
sore or scab, it matters not how small,
which does not readily heal up and
disappear may well be regarded with
suspicion.
The fact that S. S. S. guaranteed
purely negetable) cures hereditary Can
GER, which is considered incurable,
places it without an equal as a
sure cure for all manner of real blood
diseases, such as Scrofula, Eczema,
Contagious Blood Poison, or any other
form of bad blood. Our treatise on
Cancer and Blood Diseases will be
mailed free to any address by Swift
