By HENRY JEROME STOCKARD.


by Col Johnston has also just appeared
from the presses of d. II. Mcbride ~
Co, Chicago. This eminent author was
for some time professor of English in
the University of Georgia. He is now well
along in years, but is as jovial as a boy
and tells a story wonderfully well. one
that he told illustrating Joel Chandler
Harris's diffidence will not be forgotten.
Though these two famous Georgians are
old friends they hardly ever met Once
they were thrown together at some dis
lance and in the buzz of conversation
Johnston asked Harris whom he married.
"Ah-er-' stammered he-and the
Colonies representation of Uncle Re
mus's" confusion was very mirthful in
deed.
He now holds position in the depart
ment of education, and finds time to
amuse his host of readers with his char
acteristic stories.

AN INFORMAL PRAYER.

From the Lynn (Mass.) Item.)
1.-THE proper way for man to pray"
Said Deacon Lemuel Keys,
And the only proper attitude,
Is down upon his knees"
mo; I should say the way to pray"
Said Rev. DR.. Wise,
is standing straight with outstretch-
ed arms,
And rapt and upturned eyes"
''Oh, no, no, nor said Elder Slow
Such posture is too proud,
A man should pray with eyes fast closed
And head contritely bowed"
sit seems to me his hands should be
Austerely closed in 'front.'
With both thumbs pointed towards the
ground,
Said Rev. DR.. Hunt.
LAS year I fell in Hodgin's well
Head first" said Cyrus Brown,
with both my heels a stickin' up,
My head a pointin' down;

Best prayer l ever said

Itching,
Burning,
Eczema

Is the external indication of con-
dition of the blood which produces
fiery irritation almost unbearable. 1t is
a mistake to think that this local irrita-
ton is the disease itself-it is simply an
evidence of disordered condition of the
blood. y The seat of the disease is in the
blood, and this is why the various sa1ves
and ointments usually applied have no
effect whatever. They cannot possibly
reach the origin of the trouble; only a
blood remedy can do that. S. S. S. is
without an equal for blood diseases, and
promptly and permanently cures Eczema
and removes all faint.
Much torture could be avoided if the
first itching symptoms were needed and
a course of S. SIS. taken promptly, as APP
parently insignificant skin irritations
usually develop into the worst form
of Eczema unless properly treated.
It matters not what other treatment
has been tried IN vain, S. S. S. always
gets at the seat of the disease, and
forces it out.
Mr.. William Armstrong, an old resi-
dent and highly respected citizen Of
De Pere, Wis, writes on April Ist, 1896.

SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by CIV
ing tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it.
Sold for so cents or $1.00 per bottle at
any drug store.

with that horrible disease, Eczema, at
times all over my body, and no person
can describe the burning and itching
had to endure.
"The extent of my sufferings can be

dition was such that I could not take
my bed, and for three months l never

my chair when not moving around.

with no success, and tried all the patent
medicines recommended for Eczema,
without any good results. 1 then went
to the Indiana Mud baths, with the same
results, and then to Mt. Clements, the
celebrated medical resort, where the
treatment partially helped me, but the
disease shortly returned. I went to
Florida, thinking that a change of cli-
mate and water and the citron fruit
might cure me, but found no cure.
ST then tried S.S.S.and after three days
the burning and itching subsidized, and

was well-entirely cured. After COM

THE BABY.

Like a tiny CLINT of light piercing
through the dusty gloom
Comes her little laughing face through
the shadows of my room.
And my pen forgets its way as it hears
her patt'ring tread,
While her prattling treble tones chase
the thoughts from out my head.
She is queen and l her slave, one who
loves her and obeys,
For she rules her world of home with inn
perious baby ways.
In she dances. calls me Dear" turns
the pages of my books;
Throws herself upon my knee, takes my
pen with laughing looks.
Makes disorder reign supreme, turns my
papers upside down,
Draws me cabalistic signs, safe from
fear of any frown.
Crumples all my verses up, pleased to
hear the cracking sound,
Makes them into balls and then-fings
them all upon the ground.
Suddenly she fits away, leaving me
alone again
With the warmth about my heart, and a
brighter, clearer brain.
And although the thoughts return that
her coming drove away,
The remembrance of her laugh fingers
with me through the day.
And it chances. as l write, l may take
a crumbled sheet
On the which, God knoweth why! read
my fancies twice as sweet

IT, selecting your winter underclothing,
choose that which is warm, and yet more

Take off your overcoat when you en-
ter a warm place, whether office or pri-
vate dwelling, even IL your visit is to
last only n few minutes.
IL you catch cold or develop cough

The best remedy for cough or cola
