Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, Of Marshheld, Mo,
writes: "For six years / have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection OF
the glands Of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, ID. C.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment heres my
physician urged me to submit to re-
1noval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
1nent friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
aud now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had / only used your S.S.S. long ago,
would have escaped years Of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that OF all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.

stood perfectly cool and deliberate and
almost every shot brought down its man.
The ground in front Of our works was
literally covered with Federal dead and
wounded.
Immediately after the bloody repulse
of Grants efforts at Cold Harbor, Col
quit returned to the south of the James
and occupied the trenches at Petersburg.
The command built the famous salient
on the east of the city in front of Hare S
hill, where the Federal Fort Stedman
was located. The slaughter of Federals
in front of Colquitt's salient was equal
to that of Cold Harbor. 1t was there
that the First Maine heavy artillery
lost 632 men killed and wounded in a
single charge ON the 18th of June.
For go days the Georgians stood un-
der fire in those trenches, and it is well
known history that every attempt of
Grant to force them failed. During that
time the Sixth lost "a killed and so
wounded. Its commander, Colonel Ar
mold, was killed July :.
When Grant began operations to turn
Lees left at the Weldon road, Colquitt
once more rushed to the point of dan
ger. His brigade fought in Hills col
umn at Globe Tavern ON the 10Th Of
September in the attack on General
Waren's forces, which had seized a
strip of the railroad to cut off Lees sup
plies coming from the south. The Sixth
joined in flank attack on Warren, led
by General Malone. Entering the fight
$50 strong, it bore off as trophies four
Federal battledags and the commander
Of brigade Of Pennsylyanians, together
with his staff and 1000 men. This
swoop was made by penetrating be-
tween the pickets and picket reserves
and the main line Of Fcderals.

MONKEYS AT FOOTBALL.
They Likewise Play Cricket. but Not Ac-
cOrdIng to Rule.


oordIng to Rule.
Travellers in South Africa have noted
the fact that where monkeys congregate
In large numbers they also indulge in
games Of a certain kind. Two Of these
games seem to resemble cricket and
football.
The cricket is Of a primitive order
About dozen monkeys stand in a cir
Gle or whatever is akin to the simian
idea Of a circle. Two Of them advance
from different extremities Of the circle
and stop about IL yards apart, facing
each other. The monkey at the southern
end of the circle has a cocoanut in his
hand. He is the bowler.
The monkey at the other end does
not, as you might suppose, WELD full
cane bat His business is to dodge the
cocoannt which the bowler aims at his
head The delivery of the ball is ire
mendously fast, full pitched and fraught
with dire results if it touches the
spot " When it does happen to touch
the spot--that is, any part of the mon
keys body--that monkey is very much
out and doesn + even stop to dispute the
question.
Another monkey takes his place until
he, too, receives his dismissal 1t was
presumed by the travellers that the game
was finished when a majority of mon
keys lay nursing their wounds under
the friendly shade of neighboring
palm.
The football is Of more advanced
type. 1t is also played with a cocoanut.
The game, if anything, is undoubtedly
the "soeker" game and is played with
the feet. OF course there is no goal nor
any tactics to speak of, the object of
each animal being to keep the ball to
himself as much as possible.
Still the competition to get the ball
makes it resemble real game of foot
er, and the dexterity exhibited by
these peculiar amateurs is surprising
and wonderful
In an evil moment some ambitious
monkey may elect to play the Rugby
game by snatching up the ball and
making off, but the game then develops
into war, in which life is sometimes
the prize
No mention is made Of referee, but
if there is one about, like wise and
provident monkey, he is probably up a
e.-Brooklyn Times.

length Of service and losses in killed on
the field, both numerically and by per-
centage, the history Of the Second Wis
consin is identical with that Of the ban
ner Georgia regiment. Both entered the
field in 1861. The record Of the Sixth
Georgia, as found in the only regimen
tai history preserved, closes in July,
1864, with the regiment in the trenches
at Petersburg. The Second Wisconsin
was mustered out in June, 1864, having
closed its fighting career at Spottsyl-
vania. Its death roll was the heaviest
of any infantry regiment in the Federal
army according to numbers enrolled.
Placed in juxtaposition, the figures in
dioating the strength and losses of these
two regiments are seen to be remark
ably close:

SHE BETRAYED HERSELF.
Dipped Her Spoon In the Milk Befor
the Mush.

Dipped Her Spoon In the Milk Before
the Mush.
The woman mentioned in this little
story will be called Mrs. Naughty, but
she is known in almost every commu-
nifty by other names. She is inclined to
do all she can to make other people be-
lieve she is somebody and that she is
fitted for higher sphere than the one
she is forced by adverse circumstances
to live in.
A short time ago Mrs. Naughty called
on neighbor and accepted an invitation
to stay to supper. Mush and milk was
the principal supper dish, and Mrs.
Naughty declared with sundry ejacula-
tions that she had never eaten the de-
ightful compound. The steaming plat.
ter of mush was set in the center of the
table and a bowl of milk placed before
Mrs. Naughty.
"Just help yourself. Mrs. Naughty,
remarked the hostess
Really, do not know how to be-
gin, " said Mrs. Naughty as she picked
up her spoon.
Mrs Naughty made move, and one
of the children at the table leaned over
to her mother and whispered:
''She said she never ate mush and
milk, but she dipped her spoon in the
milk before she dipped it into the
mush. "
That little movement gave Mrs
Naughty away, for every lover of mush
and milk knows that if the spoon is
first dipped into the milk the mush will
not stick to it.-Omaha World Herald.

Popular belief associates the
"King's Evip' with blood poi
soning and it is interesting to
here review the history of this
impression. The Kings Evil
first appears in History just prior
to the Twelfth Century when
Edward the Conqueror imagined
he possessed the miraculous gift
of curing certain diseases by the
simple touch and by pronouncing
a few sacred words. After the
example of Edward, the King of
France, became celebrated for
the skill with which they cured
scrof1la, goitre, ETC., by his pro-
cess. Scrofula then became unil
versally known as the King
Evil and is to-day sometimes as
luded to by that name. Such q
methodof cure has been claimed
to be the peculiar attribute of the
sovereigns Of England and
France, but history does not SAIL
ton this, for it appears to have
been not unfrequently employed
i'll Scandinavia, and to have been
derived from the mystical prac-
tees of the Divide in curing dis
ease. The exact words used for
the cure of Scrofula BY the
French Kings were:-"Le roi te
touche, Dieu te guerisse.'
In this enlightened age nc
body would be silly enough to
trust case of Scrofula to a King
or his words unless it happened
that the King aforesaid, had
diploma Or two from medical
colleges of good repute. At this
writing none of the Kings in our
circle of acquaintance have taken
up the study OF medicine and we
therefore suggest that every man,
woman and child suffering from
this dreadful disease send fifty
cents to DR.. Jonathan c.. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla, for a
bottle of "Marvelo.' There is
but one cure for the Kings Evil
for Scrofula and that one
cure is Marvelo. This marvel
Gus preparation can only be OBJ
tanned of DR. Jonathan C. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla.

tanned in these advertisements will be

JOKE ON KID MCCOY.

Parson Davies tells good one on Kid
Mccoy, who posed at a theatre in New
York city shortly after defeating Dan

"Kid Mccoy attracted the attention of
a crowd of sportsmen at the Gllsey
House" says Parson, "and it was de-
cided to introduce Lavenia Charmion, a

ALL CAN RIDE.
Bicycles Made for All, Whether Il
Cripple or NOt-.-Gcnius Shown by
the Afflicted.

the Afflicted.
The number OF cripples riding bicycles
is note worthy. The progress made in
building wheels has done much to i'm
prove the construction of cripple
carriages, and the borrowing OF ideas
seems to be reacting, so that instead of
putting bicycle features into cripple
carts, true bicycles are being adopted for
the needs of persons who are manned in
different ways.
Riders with one leg shorter than the
other are being accommodated, and even
those having no use OF the lower limbs
can now have hand. propelled bicycles
instead of the more cumbersome tricycles
which they forlhely had to propel.
Some riders having only one leg use an
artificial limb when riding, while Others
remove it and pedal with one foot An
idea that has been adopted by we'll
known candy manufacturer, who uses
only one leg in riding, is that OF remov-
ing the crank and pedal on the side not
in use.
All of the one-leggcd riders do not do
this, but it should be needed as it
narroWs the clearance necessary for the
cycle, and does away with the chance OF
the pedal catching in another machine,
which is a common cause of upscts.
