. SMALL SORE CAME ON THE
INSIDE OF HIS LIP.

About the first of February, 1899, I
noticed a small lump on the inside of my
lower lip. It annoyed me considerably 4;
the doctor cauterized it and III a few days
it dropped off, but shortly after another
came and broke into an open sore, and in
spite of the large number of remedies l
tried, it would not heal. I then went to
another, and he gave me something to put
on the sore, saying ii it did not cure he
would cut the sore out. l used his medi-
cine, but received no benefit. l decided q
blood purifier was what | needed, and be-
gan to take S. S. S. The ulcer was growing
rapidly, with some pain and a crawling,
creeping feeling. At first S.. S. S. seemed
to make the sore worse, but this soon
changed, and after 1 had taken seven bottles
the place healed entirely my general
health improved and I am as we'll now as
ever and no signs Of the disease have been
seen since. w. p. BROWN.

Papa Bill Rourke is nothing IL not a
philosopher. His long and varied expert
ence In base ball has taught him that he
can't win every game, and that the best
anyone can do is to keep a trying. He
realizes that the Western league has a
good position in the fight, no matter IL the
conference at Chicago did give it the worst
OF the decision, and he proposes to make
his share Of the fight as lively as he can.
ut only takes one" is the CHEEKY call OF
the coacher during the summer, and the
hopeful magnate keeps that thought before
him during the winter. Papa Bill is doing
a thinking part just now; hasn't got a word
to say beyond the fact that he is looking
for good pitchers, and hopes to land a bunch
Of FIVE at least. Oscar Graham will be back,
and another old-timer Bill has in mind will
make a stan to start the season with. As
to the rest Of the team Mr.. Rourke makes
but one promise-it will be as fast as It was
last summer, and that ought to satisfy any
body. Omaha people know that Papa Bill
doesn't do a great deal Of talking, and that
he always makes good on his promises.

The popular idea tina foot ball is the
strenuous game is not without foundation
to Judge by the fatality list for the year.
Foot ball has this year claimed fifteen vic
Tins. Ten more players have been reported
as fatally hurt and the Chicago Record pub
fishes a list Of about 100 injured and, nee
essarily, this is far from complete. Also,
this list does not include bruises and minor
injuries, many Of which would be reported
in a list OF casualties in a fire or railroad
wreck, but which pass unnoticed in the
more calamltous foot ball. AS is to be ex-
pected, all the fatalities and supposedly
fatal accidents and the major portion of the
lesser injuries occur in the school and col
lege teams. The injuries often come in the
indiscrimlnate piling up Of men which is so
frequent among young and unskilled play
ers. Then in the larger colleges and uni
versities the hardest games do not come
until the men nave been through a long
course Of preparatory training and harden
ing. While in the small schools every boy
of size is almost forced by popular senti-
ment to play, in the great universltles there
Is such a field to choose from that none but
the best can play at all. In the first case
many boys, who though large for their
ages are constitutionally weak, play and
are easily injured, while in the latter none
Of these could ever get beyond a few days
practice, even IL they desired to play. The
big schools have the advantage Of the best
of trainers and coaches, which the others
lack; the less important teams are usually
forced to play against heavier and older
men, and the injured are usually on the
lighter side.

d. G. Packard of Denver is using his
megaphone overtime just now, and the bur-
den Of his song is the Chicago compromise.
Mr.. Packard insists that the Western got
all 1t was looking for. Well, opinions diff
fer as to that, but the fact is that what the
Western got was a plenty. As Mr.. Pack
ards town is lucky, by reason Of its loca-
ton, to be in any league, he is justified
in making his people think he won If he
can, but most Of them know better. One
thing that did develop at that Chicago con-
ference Is that foxy George Tebeau has been
eclipsed by a brother magnate in point Of
base ball diplomacy. W. H. Watkins, old
boy, the last one in the bunch who would
have been suspected Of It, did the work,
turned the trick that brought the national
board to the point of admitting the Hickey
ties to the fold. While all the rest Of the
wise ones were skinning their hands and
waiting for the cinch play to come, smooth
old William Hennery Watkins from Indiana
slipped in a cold deck, and the pot was
his'n. What did he do? Well, it now comes
out that while Tebeau and the other good
things were raiding the National league and
American league and making high-priced
talks about their star players, Watty was
quietly going into the Pacific Northwest
league and sneaking players away from
Lucas, and going into the Connecticut
league, and other little places where the
members Of the board had their base ball
interests, and getting their players. Only
one way to stop this appeared to the mem
bers Of the board, and that was to get
Watty under it's control. So the American
association was taken in, all the players
were assigned to their old clubs. and the
fight was declared off without regard to the
rights Of the Western. 1t was a mighty nice
thing to pass outlaw resolutions and de-
clare relentless warfare against the Hickey
ties, so long as it didn't affect any of the
directors OF that wonderful board of con.
troll. Just as soon as they had to get into
the game, they weakened. Indeed, 1t was
a wonderful victory for organized ball
Down and out in a punch, and the out
laws the winners. Tim Murnane can nov
resume his debate as to which is the big
gest league, the Hickey or the Powers. Tin
figures that because the Powers towns have
more people the league is the biggest. H,
entirely overlooks the fact that 1t isn't the
number of people who. live in a town tina
makes it good for base ball. It's the peo
pie who buy tickets at the gate on whom
the game depends.

II will be seen that these two authorities
differ much In making the selections, and
agree on only six positions. They agree
on Weeks for quarterback and Flynn and
McGugin for guards, and on Maddox for
one Of the tackle positions and Abbott for
an end. They also each give Heston a place
at halfback. Woodruff picks four Of the
FIVE which Green names for his second

ROYAL POULTRY KEEPERS.
Queen of England Is Regular Exhibi
tor at Shows.

Poultry keeping is one of the modern
delights OF society. That il should be so
may puzzle those who base their ideas
on some disreputable type of farmyard
hen. and who have never visited big
poultry show where fancy fowls are
staged In all their glory. No lover Of
the beautiful in nature can fail to be
impressed by the delicate coloring of
some OF these aristocrats of the poultry
world. the exquisite markings and the
quaint eccentricities Of others. The arts
and sciences of breeding may remain a
closed book to us. But the wonderful
products of modern fanciers demand ad-
miration.
The Queen is the first poultry keeper
In the kingdom. and a regular exhibitor
and prize winner at all the great
shows. One of her favorite varieties is
the Silkie, quaint little fowl with
wonderful white plumage OF silky tex
ture. The King. If he is not actually a
poultry fancier has a sincere respect
for the Silkie fowl. for they are wonder
full mothers for rearing pheasants and
are much in request at Sandringham.
The Queen also has some of the tiniest
and smartest bantams in the country,
and their excellence from n show point
of view IL proved by the number of
prizes they win.-LondOn NJ. A. p.

A MODERN MONTE CRIsTo.
Eccentric American Who Scatters His
Wealth on the Essex Coast.

Considerable prominence is being
given in the daily papers to the case Of
Myron Baynard Brown, an American
millionaire whose eccentricities have
attracted wide attention. For thirteen
years Mr.. Brown has lived on board a
yacht swinging at anchor in the little
harbor of Brightlingsea, on the Essex
coast, says a London dispatch to the
Baltimore American Last week his
aunt appeared and endeavored to induce
him to return to America, but without
avail, and the Indications are that he
will remain where he is for some years.
Mr.. Browns peculiarities of habit and
his generous distributions of money have
earned for him the title of 1.-The ESSEX
Monte Cristo'' During the thirteen
years his yacht has been lying at Bright
lingsea steam has been kept up on II
ready for him to sail at moments no.
tice. but the long period during which
he has advanced from young man OF
thirty-six to man of forty-nine years
of age seems to have welded him to the
Essex coast. and there he remains.
Since 1889 the huge amount he has
given away cannot be called charity.
because some of the recipients of the
American millionaire's bounty are noted
"wastrels." Mr.. Brown gives for the
pleasure OF giving.
Sometimes 1t happens that the men or
women to whom he gives are in urgent
need OF money. More often than not
they are of the genus cadger, but in each
case this strange millionaire gives with
out reflection or without inquiry.
All the year round he receives shoals
of begging letters. which arrive at tie
rate of a sack each day. He reads
them ali carefully, and sends money to
the writer's of about one in every ten.
The amounts he gives vary between
guinea ard a thousand pounds.
1t is an extraordinary sight to see the
large number of boats laden with beg
CARS swarming round his yacht. waiting
hours until he signifies by 4 nod that
he will see one or two applicants.
Sometimes he will refuse to see any
one for DAYS, and the boats wait in vain.
One sturdy beggar came regularly
from London once a week for 4 year to
see the capricious millionaire, but with
out seeing him. At the years cad Mr..
Brown saw him. gave him El0O, and
told him not to come again.
Inpumerable stories are told of Mr..
Browns strange benevolencc. At one
time he would visit cottages and leave
hank notes In children's clothing; at
another he saved a bOatman's life by
sending him to a hospital and paying
fer an operat ton. On another occasion
he paid the losses of an old Nan end
woman who had sunk all in bank.
Mr.. Brown is a man of many moods.
For days he will shut himself UP in his
cabin and refuse to even see the stew
ard who waits upon him.
The authorities of Brightllngsea do
not look upon him with very kindly
eve. and. indeed. they would hail his
departure with relief. The regular
charities of the district he does not sup
port. and his ear is deaf to the Plea of
the parson. but withal he is a law
abiding man.

An Ancient Viola Discovered.

A viola de gambia which is believed by
its owner and his friends to have been
made in Italy In 1854. and 10 be the old
est instrument Of it's kind in this coun-
try. was recently found in the garnet of
DR.. John J. Orton's residence, at Lake
Vile, Conn. by some carpenters VINO
were repairing the house. The instru-
ment had lain there for more than a
quarter of a century and the doctor had
forgotten its existence.
The viola belonged to his father and
his fathers father. and when his father
died and the property was apprised he
bought it for 81 and slowed it away in
the garnet. Now he is showing 1t to his
friends as an interesting heirloom.
The old viola is fairly well preserved
for its 316 years, but is cracked in sew
eral places and is minus bridge and bow
and strings. II measures four feet eight
inches from the top of the scroll to the
rest at the bottom of the body. The body
is three feet long. 1t is two feet wide
at the bottom and nineteen inches at
the top, and is seven inches deep.
