The greatest claims for SIS. (Swift's
Spkcifc) are made by those whom it has
cured, and after all the most valuable
reputafion is one which is given by those
who speak from experience. We could
pablish page of what we claim SIS.
Will do, but the people prefer to read
/ Of what it has done, and hence we give
afhe testimony OF reputable, well-known
1 people in different parts of the country.
who gladly tell of how SIS. has cured
ITEM of blood diseases, after irving
ofner treatment in vain.
No wonder S.S.S. has such staunch
friends. The experience of those who
takg it to-day will be the same as of
|&e6se who twenty years ago found it the
snly cure. Blood diseases are obstinate,
and cannot be cured by one medicine
ina dozen which claims to cure them:
so when S.S.S. is taken with satisfactory
results, after a disappointing expert
ence with other remedies, it is not
strange that it has grateful friends by
the score.

Mr.. William Sewers, of Bradford, Ohio,
was cured by SIS. ten years ago of a
severe blood poison, and writes that to
this day no sign of the dreadful disease
has ever returned. He says:
81 had terrible blood disease which
is considered incurable, and was treated
for long time by the best physicians,
but they did me no good. The disease
seemed to get frmer hold on me, and
attacked my tongue and throat, which
were soon full of vile ulcers.
81 changed doctors several times, and
afterwards took nearly every blood rem
edy on the market, without the slightest
benefit. After five years of treatment
which did me no good whatever, was
induced to try SIS. This remedy
proved itself equal to the case, for in a
few months was entirely cured and my
skin was perfectly clear and smooth.
could hardly believe that the cure was
permanent, but ten years have elapsed
and no sign of the disease has yet ap-
peared."
S.S.S. is a sure cure for Cancer, Ca.
tarrh, Contagious Blood Poison, Scrof-
ula, Rheumatism, Eczema, and all other
blood diseases, which other remedies
have no effect whatever upon. II is

A PRETTY BAD MIX UP.

1t Was ThriliinGly Realistic, but 1t Seems
1t Wasn't Art.
The old property man seated him
self on moss covered practical"
stump while waiting for the play TO
begin, and, in response to my ques-
ton, said:
Mistakes will occur and things
will get mixed up in the theatrical
business as well as in any other.
remember one season when / was
with The Country FARM every
thing real, you know-real COWS,
horses, chickens and all that sort of
stuff. One act was in the city, and
there were real fire engines, cable
cars, ferryboats, policemen, and
such like; good play and took in
money by the barrelful, but hard
work for me; had to buy fresh
vegetables for the cows to eat in
full view of the audience and look
after raft of other things.
"One night out at GAINESVILLE, O.,
just as the curtain went up, the bay
mule, who appeared in the first tab
leau, kicked the brass cannon used
in the Fourth of July scene. He
was powerful kicker, having been
practicing ON me for about three
months, and the heat generated by
the striking of his shoe against the
cannon set off the charge; and it
blazed away right among the real
cows and other animals. The whole
caboodle of 'em stampeded Straight
on to the stage. The real chickens
also flew on, and the fire engine
horses likewise naturally charged
in, the racket being right in then
line. The stage hands and most of
the actors rushed on to try to
straighten out the tangle.
About this time a water pipe
burst, and something set off the
thunder machine, and it began to
thunder worse than ! had ever heard
it before in long and eventful life.
This Jared the snow department,
and the paper fakes began to futter
down pretty lively, while a box of
red fire in the wings caught from
the smoldering cannon wadding and
cast lurid and fitful glare DER the
general cataclysm, as / may call it.
The real Durham bull tossed the
heavy villain on his horns, and the
real old Southdown ram butted.the
comic man across the footlights and
back into the neighborhood of the
fifth row, landing him in the lap of
his honor the mayor. 1t was a
scene long to be remembered, with
the chickens flying up into the pro-
scenium boxes and cackling like
mad, and the orchestra trying to
play the whole thing down with a
redhot selection from Wagner. But
we got it all Strengthened out at
last"
But what about the audience9"
inquired an innocent listener.
Wasn't there panici"
Not a bitof it. That's the funny
part of the whole thing. They were
a very intelligent audience, right
up to date on the realistic drama,
and they thought it was the first
act. Never heard such applause in
my life. The manager. wanted to
repeat the thing every night in
place of the opening scene, but the
author wouldn't listen to it. He
said it wasn't art. '-Harper's Mag.

Connecticut,s Red Record.
Milford Citizen, Dec. 24.l

l-nhA0AN NisiNops bc0. <s-I
 During the past yenr there have been eleven murders committed in this state, six of which were in Fairfield county.
 This red list is all the more appalling on account of the extreme brutality of tho murderers, as is noted in the last on the list. the shooting of Mir Lambert, at Wilton, on Friday last. Five. bullets were fired into his body, which would indicate that the men who did the shooting were intent on doing the work thoroughly, and had murder in their hearts.
 Such crimes, coming so near home, call forth expressions of horror, and the wonder is, that these foul criminals can find lawyers who will undertake to save the necks of such worthless clients A good rope in willing hands would seem to be the only way to put check on crime.
 It is estimated that it will cost this state S700 900 for capturing and bring ing to justice criminals for the past year.
 Many of the crimes are the result of drunken rows, as is the case of the Italian, Demsrco, who murdered two of his nncles at Stamford last week. They had been drinking vile liquor and gambling, and the murders were the outcome of & quarrel over the division some money.
 The question naturally arises, does the income from the liquor tax pay for all the expense and misery caused by the traffic? and the logical answer is, "Nom
