BAD COMPLEXION,

The skin is the seat of EN- almost end.

by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions. the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large numbe,
OF face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover IN
tor short time, but cannot remove per
nancntly the ugly blotches and the red,
dishguring pimplcs.
Eternal Vigilance is tho price

until he was within two feet of the
President.
President Mckinley smiled, bowed
and extended his hand In that spirit
of geniality the American people SO
well know, when suddenly the sharp
crack OF revolver rang out loud and
clear above the hum of voices. the
shuffting Of feet and waves or applause.
The President stood stock still, "a look
of hesitancy. almost of bewilderment
on his fa,e-then he retreated a step.
while a paior began to steal over his
features.
The multitude. only partially aware
that something serious had happened.
paused in the silence of surprise while
necks were craned and all eyes turned
as one toward the roStrum.
Then came Il cummCtion. Three men
threw themselves forward as with one
impulse and sprang toward the would

il was To guard against just such "a
calamity. The third was 4 bystander.

viously grasped in his dusky palm the
hand of the President
The trio hurled themselves upon the
assailant. In a twinkling he was borne
to the ground his weapon was wrested
from his grasp and he was pinioned.
Then the vast multitude began to
realize what had happened. A mur-
mur arose, spread and swelled to pam
demOnium. The crowds surged for
ward toward the stage. while a hOarSe
cry welled up from a thousand thrOats
and a thousand men charged forward
To lay hands upon the prepatrator.
For a moment the confusion was ter
rible. The crowd surged for ward re-
gardless of consequences. Me shouted
and fought. women screamed and chill
dren cried.
Some of those nearest the doors fled
in fear of stampede while hundreds
of others from the outside struggled
blindly forward in the effort to pene-
trate the crowd.
OF the multitude which witnessed or
bore a part in the scene. there was but
ole mind which seemed to retain its
equilibrium. that of President McKin-
ley.
After the first shock of the assassin S
SnotS. ne retrtated a step ana then, AS
the detectives leaped upon his assailant

seated himself. at the same time remov-

way down his breast. spreading its tell
