Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from som
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 APP
pearance-or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
TO cur Cancer thoroughly aud perma-
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.
Cancer begins often in a small way, as the
following letter from Mrs: Shirer shows:
A small pimple came on my jaw about an inch
below the ear on the left side OF my face. It gave

Wednesday afternoon, at the
newly built home of the groom,
occurred one ofthose happy events
in life which bind two loving
hearts as one. It was the mar
riage Of Mr.. Hans @. Paulson, of
Cleveland township, to Miss Anna
Mondt, Rev. Mr.. Aaberg oficiat-
ing. About seventy-fve friends
and guests had assembled to wit
ness the ceremony. Just as the
clock struck 4, the bride, who was
neatly attired in cream colored
silk with chapon veil, was escorted
by Mr.. Halvor Paulson to the
centre Of the large parlor, and
they were followed by the groom
and bridesmaid Miss Bertha Mondt.
The ceremony over, congratula-
tiods were in order, and all sat
down to a nice wedding lunch.
The floor was then cleared for
dancing, which was kept up till
breakfast hour. The groom is a
sturdy young farmer who has &C
cumulated three quarter sections
of land and built a substantial res
idence this year. The bride is
popularity known in Devils Lake,
where she has resided for two
years. The wedding presents were
numerous and useful.

4 LAW OF PROGRESS.
Contentment Results From Under
taking the Attainable.

GAklux Iu0 f1OGh1uoOAVs |
In theory, every normally de-
veloped native born American boy
has an opportunity tobecome pres
ident of the United States.
Practically, but five or six boys
out of the millions living in any
generation have any chance what
ever of becoming president of the
United States. Under these con-
ditions any boy who devotes the
energies of his lifeto attaining the
presidency will surely miss win
ming the prize. Judged by his
own standard Of what would be a
successful life, his life will be pre-
ordained to failure. As surely as
discomfort is the result Of disap-
.pointment, SO surely is content
ment the result Of success. It
follows as a logical sequence that,
to secure contentment, one must
limit his efforts to acquiring the
attainable. This does not mean
that anyone can ever reach the
state of complete contentment.
Such a state will admit Of no wish
for"more." It exists only in death.
Desire for "more' isthe law Of life.
When a child develops into the
state Of full responsibility and be-
gins to mark out it's life course,
wise guidance by others or by his
own Judgment will set before him
an ideal to be.attained. In estab-
fishing this ideal the wisdom Of
the proverb, "a horse must believe
he can draw ..the load or he will
not pull" must govern. The
thing to be undertaken must be
within reach of the ability Of the
one who is toTaccomplish it. W.
do not say within easy reach, but
within the reach of the best en-.
beavers of which he is capable
Endeavor to reach such IN idea

ment will result, notssfrom the fact
Of attaining the ideal, but from the
fact Of satisfactory progress to.

Governor Thomas, just returned from

The governor remarked In discussing

being no chance for a national democrat

Of the policy of this country toward
Porto Rico and the Philippines. The
matter OF combinations Of capital will
receive great attention. and the money
question in all Its phases will be an i'm
portant factor. These will not, OF course
be all the issues, but they will be the
important ones. By the money question

Silver will not be abandoned. 1t will be

Eject of the Constant Wear and Tear
on a Railroad.
AS consumers of steel the railroads
in the vicinity Of Pittsburg lead the
world. During the past three months
10 miles of new steel rails. averaging
ninety pounds to the yard, have been
put down or distributed within thirty
miles OF the center of the city, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch. There are
1,760 yards in a mile. which would
mean 299 200 yards for one line of rails
in ITO miles, or 26,92S 900 pounds, or
say 53,S56,000 pounds for both lines OF
rails, or 269,2S3 tons of steel rails need
ed in one year for Pittsburg roads,
ninety per cent Of which was for re-
newals on old lines. There is some-
what of a mystery regarding where
the steel worn out on a big road goes
to. 1t is ground down almost to i'm
perceptible dust by the constant fric-
ton Of the grinding wheels. and this
friction is forty-five per cent greater
on curves than on straight stretches
of track The wear Is also much great
er on ascending grades on straight
track than on descending grade. On
curves the wear is almost lateral or
horizontal, while on straight track 1t
is perpendicular, with a slight incli-
nation toward the inside Of the rail
next to the flanges Of the wheels. The
millions of tons OF steel ground down
to dust by the wheels Of trains in this
country are lost. 1t cannot be re-
gained for scrap because 1t settles
down into the ballast. Is brushed away
by the rush Of air caused by the swift
ly moving train. and. like the star dust
which falls upon the ocean, is lost
forever. In time, as civilization and
the wheels OF civilization move on. the

as well as part Of the adjoining ground.
will become thoroughly impregnated
with steel and iron dust from the
grinding up of rails and wheels. be-
cause it must be remembered that the

shower of iron and steel dust is ac-
cumulating along our railroads at

Tho Patrick Henry of the Republic As
He Appears IN tho Raad-A Famous
Ten-Minute Speech That Had
Powerful Influence. .

The chief aim OF the visitor to Pre-
toria Is to obtain a glimpse Of Presi-
dent Kruger, ard daily between the
president and the raad numerous spec
thtors await the coming of the gaudy-
looking state coach in which his honor
is conveyed about the city. 1t was my
good fortune not only to see President
Kruger seated in his favorite chair on
fne "stoep" of the presidency, but also
to see him and hear him speak in the
first chamber Of his beloved volksraad.
Shortly before the opening Of the raad
the state coach conveying the presi-
dent and we'll guarded by outriders OF
Boer cavalry drove smartly up to the
entrance of the building; the soldiers
on duty about the place stood at at
tention, and Paul Kruger descended
heavily from the carriage and entered
the raad. A tremendously big man and
active in his day, he Is now showing
very plainly the weight of his great
years, and is a sallow-complexioned
whlte-haired and unhandsome-looking
old man. The raad opened without
any visible ceremony and the order
of the day was proceeded with. The
amended franchise law was the subject
under consideration. and 1t was not
difficult to see there was a great deal
of very strong feeling on the matter.

had spoken in violent and defiant
strain, and Interruptions were numer-
GUS and not particularly courteous,
when President Kruger thumped his
mighty hand on the desk in front OF
him, and, rising, commenced to speak.
Immediately there was silence. The
appearance of the president when
speaking Is most animated, and he Is
certainly the disciple Of gesture. There
are vigor and authority and the GER
tainty of acceptance of his arguments
shown in every word uttered by him
in the volksraad. Increasing age has
taken from him much Of the old-time
energy of his style of speaking, but
he is still the strong. masterful and
domineering orator of the Beers. In

porters must have had difficulty in fol-

PENSIONlNG EMPLOYEES

At the beginning of the year a novel
pension system was put into effect by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
Nearly one thousand of the employees
were retired from service. They had
reached the age of seventy years, but
instead of being turned adrift to make
room for younger men. they were
pensioned by the company. For the
rest of their lives they will draw a
fixed sum regularly from the COM
pany's treasury.
The pensions are graded at the rate
of one per cent for each continuous
year of service. A man who has been
in the employ of the company for
twenty years will receive twenty per
cent of the average salary paid him
has been employed thirty years will
receive thirty per cent, and so on.
The system is to be continued, and as
soon as an employe reaches the age
of seventy, he will be retired on a
pension.
1t Is familiar saying that "corpor-
ations have no souls" Soul or no
soul, this railway corporation has
proved that it possesses good business
sagacity. All considerations of kind
ness and generosity aside, the new
policy is likely to justify itself by the
superior quality of service which the
CORPORATION will secure.
The kind of work which a man does
depends good deal upon his sense
of security or insecurity. If he feels
that faithful sc :vice is appreciated,
and that if accident or age disables
him, he will not be cast aside like a
piece of broken machinery, he will be
worth more to his employer than If
he were differently treated.
Whether judged by the Golden Rule,
or by the sordid standard of self-in-
terest, the scheme adopted by this
company has much to com mend it.

Much has been said of late about
the work of Vermont's present repre-
sentatives iu the lower house of Con-
gress. We have alwaya contended
that Congressman Powers was the
representative of a chosen few while
General Grout had constantly proved
himself to be the peoples representa-
tive in all that the name implies. The
record of the first weeks work in the
present session of Congress is a most
convincing proof of this fact. Judge
Powers fastened to introduce a
measure for the relief of the Grand
Trunk railway, while the long list of
bills introduced by Gen. Grout are for
the relief of the veterans of the wars,
for soldiers widows and children, for
the farmers, and for the betterment
of his constituents in every walk in
life from the highest and most infiu-
entail to the most humble. A rail-
road in distress or foreign corpora
ton in need of assistance always
seems to make big dent in the mar
BILE heart of Congressman Powers.
Congressman Grout, on the contrary,
evidently prefers to represent YER
mont first and the rest of the world
afterwards.-S. Johnsbury RepUbi-
