Side of my city" said New Yorker to a
Star reporter yesterday, "a blacksmith's
shop in which the bellows of the FORCES
are worked by three Newfoundlands. In
one corner of the shop there is a wooden
wheel about eight feet in diameter and
wide enough for dog to stand in. When
the wheel is at rest the dog stands in much
the same position as the horse in a child s
rocker. with it's head always turned to-

the wheel turn around rapidly, and by
means of a crank and lever the power is
conveyed to the bellows

The Engliahman's Only Comment
When the RrOnchO Threw Him.
"Most Englishmen are considered pretty
fair horsemen, but when it comes to riding
a bucking broncho some Of them are not
in, or on. 1t for long" said the owner of a
large cattle ranch In Wyoming to the
writer the other day. "For instance. a
rich young Englishman recently came out
to my part of the country in quest of some
good Investment. He was at my ranch as
guest for few days, and one afternoon
as the cowboys were about to round up a
bunch Of COW ponies the young man said that
he would enjoy good ride in the saddle.
He said he was used to riding only thor
oughbreds and he didn't think we had a
horse good enough for him. The boys con-
WINGED him that they had one of the finest
horses on the plains, and If he knew how
to ride he was welcome to the animal. He
was apparently inSulted when questioned
about his ability to ride and answered that
he could ride any kind of a horse. A
sleepy-looking broncho was accordingly
brought out from the corral and saddled.
Though the beast appeared half dead, he
was the worst bucker in the herd.

the pony was brought to him. The boys

one of the boys asked what he thought Of
the thoroughbred now. The question made
the Englishman turn pale.

Use of Soap.
the San Francisco Call.

From the San Francisco Call.
British critics of the Beers are fond of
asserting that the sturdy Transvaalers use
little SOAP.
This may be true or not. Even If true,
there p plenty Of precedent. The Japa-
nese, the most cleanly people in the world,
rarely use soap. The Russians use vapor
baths for cleanliness sake. Rough inside
clothing cleanses the skin. There are doc
tors who have cured skin diseases by in
sisting upon their delicate patients aban-
doning silk underwear and using very
coarse stuff instead.
Napoleon, whose hands were good to
model and beautifully white, used bran
and lemon juice and no soap, unless to

JOHN II. WALKER.

The announcement Saturday of the
death of John H. Walker occasioned
considerable surprise in this city
where deceased was well and favor

the ravages of this fatal malady for
four years past. His demise perhaps
caused more surprise on account Of
the fact that but day or two previous
to his death he was apparently in
usual health and in vigorous pursuit
of affairs of life. But few who knew
him best were cquainted with the
fact that he was subject of the dis

The principal of a school in an Hi
nois town called all of the little ones
together one day last week and told
them there was no such person as
Santa Claus and that their parents
were teaching them falsehood when
they said otherwise. AS result 800
little hearts were broken and a
month of happy waiting and day
of Joyous realization on Christmas
morn have been changed to desolute
waste in the children's minds. That
principal and others who are guilty of
notwithstanding childhood in regard to
ever to be treasured Santa Claus ought
to be publicly logged with a horse
whip. Are all of the romance and
poetry to be taken out of this life by
the cranks? We have a youngster in
the family who is just beginning to
learn of the Joys of Santa Claus and
we hereby make public the announce
ment that if any school teacher or
anyone else ever tells him that there
is no such thing as Santa Claus, some
one is going to be given genuine old
fashioned whipping.

Sufferers from this horrible malay
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
I nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
of it driven out This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
