When John Quincy Adams was
eighty years old, narrates the Lynn
Item, he met in the streets of Boston
an old friend, who shook his trembling
hand and said:
Good morning And how is John
Quincy Adams today"
Thank you, was the ex-Presi-
dents answer, John Quincy Adams
himself is well, sir; quite well, l
thank you. But the house in which
he lives at present is becoming dilap-
idated. 1t is tottering upon its foun-
dation. Time and seasons have nearly
destroyed it. Its roof is pretty well
worn out. It's walls are much shat.
tered, and it trembles with every
wind. The old tenement is becoming
almost uninhabitable, and l think
John Quincy Adams will have to move
out of it soon, but he himself is quite
well, sir, quite well.
With that the venerable sixth Pres
ident Of the United States moved on,
with the aid of his staff.

Mr.. Charles Glenn, of 1868 Dudley ST.,
Cincinnati, is one of the many who
constantly praise S SIS. for giving him
back his health. He says:
"From childhood was afflicted with
a terrible blood disease, and have
taken almost every blood remedy on the
market, but my case was deepseated,
and one by one they failed. The large,
red blotches increased in size and num-
Der, and soon covered my entire body.
"My parents had me treated by num-
ber Of physicians, but the disease was
too much for them, and after their tenn
porary relief was over, / found myself
growing steadily worse. Thus I grew
into manhood, handicapped by terrible
disease, and having tried so many RENE
dies without relief, when friend urged
me to take SIS S. had little faith in any
medicine. was happy to find, however,
that had at last gotten the right remedy,
for one bottle of S.S.S did me so much
good that soon had hopes of being cured.
/ continued the remedy, and was cured
completely, the unsightly spots soon
disappeared, leaving my skin perfectly
clear. My general health was also built
up, and l am robust and strong. I be-
lieve S.S.S. will cure the worst case Of
blood poison in the world"
S.S.S. is a real blood remedy, and will
cure the most obstinate cases of Cancer,
Eczema, Catarrh, Scrofula, Rheumatism,
Contagious Blood Poison, old sores,
or any disease caused by impure blood.

MIR. Whitney's Big Game.

Inc ARRIVAL dl LenOA last WeeA vi
two carloads of big western game for
the Whitney preserves, located on Oc-
tober mountain, on the highway be-
tween Pittsfeld and Beckett, and about
eight miles from the former city. calls
attention to the work the former Sec-
retary of the Navy is doing toward es-
tsblishing what will probably be the
finest game preserves in the country.
Mr. Whitney estate comprises about
ten thousand acres, being the consoli-
dation of abandoned farms which the
former secretary was able to secure at
an average of about 81 an acre, and
which he has been four years in bring
ing under his ownership.
When Mr.. Whitney got firm hold
on the land he began his improvements.
One of the farm houses which came
with the property was made over intoa
temporary dwelling, bat this was aban-
doned in favor Of handsome cottage
which he erected later. Some Of the
other houses were reconstructed 10
meet the needs of gamekeepers, and
then the work Of dividing the land into
separate preserves was begun. One
thousand acres were wired of for the
thirty head Of elk which Mr.. Whitney
had ordered from Adams Brothers,
large ranch owners and animal collec-
tors, of Wyoming, and the placewas all
ready for the hardy Rocky Mountain
elk W hen they arrived last fall. 1t
was expected that there would be DIFF
fculty in keeping them through the
winter; but no trouble was expert.
enced.
Mr.. Whitney sent orders for speci-
mems Of the animals of the Yellowstone
Park region, and after great deal
of time and trouble his agent, were
able to ship the two carloads which
arrived this week. In the lot were
twenty blacktail deer, twenty elk and
thirteen head of buffalo, the largest of
the latter weighing 1900 pounds, AMI
being the finest specimen in the coun-
try. The animal, which is named "Mc-
Kinley," was one of pair Of large
fellows, the other being named "Har-
rison," but the pair got into fight
while being loaded and Harrison"
was killed.
The animals were ten days on the
trip, and came through without acci-
dent, barring the one at the start, but
there came near being another when
the beasts were being unloaded pre-
paratory to be taken to their new
home. Mckinley" objected to being
taken from the car, and poked his head
through the end Of the box ear in
which he travelled, but was finally
forced into the crate prepared for him,
and is now with the others in the in
closure of 5000 acres which Mr.. Whit
ney has had wired for their use.
Mr.. Whitney has also stocked his
place with many imported birds, has
added to the quail already on the
ground, and has ,snpplemented the
trout in the brooks by the addition Of
many more, so that even now the pre-
serves are pretty well stocked, but no.
where near what they will be when his
plans are completed.

ting sarcasms of the stranger, inter-
spersed with jest and anecdote, that
filed the forum with roars Of laugh
ter
Then without bestowing as much as
an illusion on Prentiss, he turned short
on the perured witnesses of Hopkins,
tore their testimony into atoms and
hurled in their faces such terrible in
vectives that all trembled as with
ague, and two of them actually fed
dismayed from the courthouse.
The excitement of the crowd was
becoming tremendous. Their life and
soul seemed to hang on the burning
tongue of the stranger He inspired
them with the powers of his own ma
licious feeling. He seemed to have
stolen natures long hidden secret Of
attracting. He was the sun to the
sea of thought and emotion which rose
and fell or boiled in billows as he
chose. But the greatest triumph was
to come.
His eyes began to glare furtively at
the assassin Hopkins, and his lean
taper fingers slowly assumed the same
direction. He hemmed the wretch
with a decentralization of strong evil
dence and impregnable argument, cut
ting off all hopes of escape. He piled
up huge bastions of insurmountable
facts. He dug beneath the murder
er's and slanderer's feet, bitches and
dilemmas, such as no sophistry could
evade, and having thus, as one might
say, impounded his victim, and girt
him about like scorpion in circle
of fire, he stripped himself to the work
of massacre.
Oh then it was a vision both glori-
Gus and dreadful to behold the orator.
His actions before graceful as the wave
of golden willow in the breeze, grew
impetuous as the motion of the oak in
the hurricane. His voice became a
trumpet with whirlpools, deafening the
ear with crashes ofpower, and yet IN
termingled all the while with a sweet
undersong of the softest cadence. His
face was as red as a drunkard s-his
countenance looked haggard like that
of maniac; and ever and anon he
flung his long bony arms on high, as
if grasping after thunderbolts. He
drew picture of murder in such APP
palling colors that in comparison hell
might be considered beautiful. He
painted the slanderer so black that
the sun seemed dark at noon-day when
shining on such an accur8ed monster
then he fixed both portraits on the
shrinking brow of Hopkins 50 that he
nailed them there forever. The agita-
ton of the audience nearly amounted |
to madness.
All at once, he descended from his
perilous height His voice walled out
for the murdered dead, the living
the beautiful Mary-more beautiful
every moment, as her tears flowed |
faster-till men wept and lovely wo-
men sobbed like children.
He closed by a strong exhortation
to the jury, and through them to the
bystanders. He entreated the panel
after they should bring in their ver-
dict for the plaintiff, not to offer vio-
lence to the.defendant, however richly
he might deserve it, in other words,
mot to lynch the villain, Hopkins,
but to leave his punishment to God.
This was the most artful trick of all
to insure vengeance.
The jury rendered verdict of ff-
teen thousand dollars; and the night
afterwards, Hopkins was taken off his
bed by lynchers and beaten almost to
death.

His name was Mulligan and he was
a conductor. He had wearied the soul
of the superintendent with long tele-
grams describing slight accidents to
his train. The superintendent wrote
to him: Life is too short give the
facts in the fesest possible words.
So this is the way he telegraphed his
next derailment:
"of again;

Gave Back
Ny Health.

There is no reason for being despondent
and considering diseases of the blood
incurable, simply because the treatment
of physicians and many so-called blood
remedies fail to effect cure. Though
it is naturally disheartening to the suf-
ferer who faithfully takes the prescribed
treatment of the physicians, often at the
expense of hundreds of dollars, to find
himself, no better as time goes
by, still cure will result from the right
remedy, S.S.S., no matter what other
treatment has failed.
The reason that S.S.S. (Swift's Spe-
cifc) has so successfully cured even the
worst cases after other treatment had
been tried in vain is that it is the only
remedy which forces the poison from
the blood and permanently eliminates
it from the system, wlrich is the only
correct principle of curing the disease.
Mercurial remedies bottle up the poison
and tear down the system, while SIS.
forces out the poison and builds up and
adds strength and vigor to the entire
system. 1t is natures remedy, and con-
tains no harmful ingredient.
